Bug Fixes

  • Nature’s Wrath now properly fuses Defense 5.

  • EV, Guardian, Summoner, and Warden action figures now correctly provide 10% more boost than standard gemstones.

    • Note: This was achieved by restoring the ability power coefficient to 1 and adjusting the post-multiplicative additive value to -0.9 (from -1).

  • Evil Hallow’s Grin can now be traded.

  • Hero Statted Evil Hallow’s Grin can now be traded.

  • Tower Fused Genie’s Lamp now correctly deals Rift damage.

Pet Updates

  • EV, Guardian, Summoner, and Warden action figures had their stat scalars reduced from 1.0 → 0.75.

    • Note: These pets were consistently rolling higher stats than intended compared to options like the Ede Corgi and other tower pets. This change brings them more in line with overall balance.

Tower Updates

  • Blockade defenses now gain +15% armor when fused.

    • Note: This change helps fused walls better withstand non-fused enemies while in Rifted Mode.
