Waves

Wave 15: Quadrapuses

  • HP and attack speed decreased by by 4.5%

  • New ability: Feast: Increases health and attack speed by 0.5% when a nearby enemy dies.

Wave 17: Metal Dragons

  • New ability: Feast: Increases health and attack speed by 0.5% when a nearby enemy dies.

Cheap fighter spam is too strong in the mid game, so we're adding Feast to these waves. For example, it should be better to upgrade to Veteran than spam Peewees on wave 15, but it's currently not.

Also shifting power from wave 16 → 17.

Wave 19: Dire Toads

Damage decreased by 2%

Slightly too lethal.

Balance Watchlist

The dev team is constantly monitoring game balance, between looking at data and listening to community feedback. If anything is being more closely monitored than usual, it will be listed in this Balance Watchlist section. For this patch, the following are on the watchlist:

  • Strong: Redraw, Radiant Halo, Sand Badger

  • Weak: Disciple, Harpy, Great Boar, Bazooka

Improvements

  • Fixed Alpha Male getting debuffed by boosted Orchid

  • Improved sending in PvE

  • Removed sound effect from feast heal for waves, as it was a bit overwhelming

  • Feast is now only 50% effective in dual build
