Global Leaderboards
The competition just got real. With the addition of global leaderboards to the Last Stand game mode, it’s time to step up and prove you’ve got what it takes to dominate the Thunderdome. Climb the ranks, outlast the hordes, and bask in the glory of having your name etched in galactic renown.
Change Log
Balance Adjustments
Cryocase cooldown increased by ~22% (+1.5s).
Cryocase Ice Health reduced by 40% (60 → 36).
Reflect Shield cooldown increased by 25% (+1s).
Reflect Shield duration reduced by 25% (-0.5s).
These adjustments ensure the high-impact defensive tools remain tactical choices without being overly dominant. Adapt, strategize, and embrace the challenge!
Character Ability Adjustments
We heard your feedback about how frustrating certain characters’ abilities were when used defensively, especially in stalling scenarios. Here’s how we’re addressing those concerns:
Cryogenes' Cryocase Ability: Cryocase’s cooldown and ice health adjustments aim to prevent the ability from being overused as a stalling tool, forcing more precise timing and strategic deployment.
Omegabyte's Reflect Shield: Changes to the cooldown and duration are designed to limit its dominance, especially when chained with the shield ability. It’s still powerful, but now requires better cooldown management.
These changes should create a more dynamic and balanced gameplay experience while rewarding skillful play. Keep those strategies evolving!
New Features & Improvements
Saved character selection between rounds: Your selected character is now remembered when rejoining a lobby, cutting out the hassle of reselecting every time. Less frustration, more action!
As always, we’re grateful for your support and feedback. Keep sharing your thoughts, and let’s continue building the ultimate brawler experience together. See you in the Thunderdome!
