Update 1.11.1

Update 1.11.1 will take place at 09:00 UTC (06:00 Eastern Daylight Time, 11:00 Central European Summer Time) on Thursday, July 9th, during which the server will undergo approximately 1 hour of maintenance. This update added a new Tech to Stormcaller, made many balance adjustments, and implemented a few QoL improvements.

Balance Adjustments

Stormcaller

• [High Explosive Anti-tank Shells] changed to [Heavy Missile]: Increases ATK by 120%, increases Missile HP by 250%, but increases Attack Interval by 25%

Developer's Note: This Tech provides players with a means to counter Missile Interceptors. It is worth noting that the significantly increased Attack Interval makes Stormcaller particularly ineffective against Light Units.

Sledgehammer

• [Armor-Piercing Bullets] Cost 150 → 100

Developer's Note: After the nerf to \[Mechanical Rage], \[Armor-Piercing Bullets] seems a bit too weak.

Mustang

• [Culling Rounds] Cost 200 → 250

• [Armor-Piercing Bullets] Cost 300 → 250

Developer's Note: We have adjusted both the most and least popular Tech for the Mustang, aiming to make the Mustang's Tech choices more diverse

Vortex

• [Grid Integration] Cost 200 → 250

• [Mobile Power Station] ATK modifier +20% → +30%

Developer's Note: We hope this adjustment will allow a small number of Vortexes to have a larger impact

Void Eye

• [Aerial Mode] Cost 200 → 150

Developer's Note: We have buffed the relatively less popular Tech of Void Eye

War Factory

• [Photon Coating] Cost 250 → 200

Developer's Note: We have buffed the relatively less popular Tech of War Factory

Scorpion

• [Convergent Fire] Cost 150 → 100

Developer's Note: We have buffed the relatively less popular Tech of Scorpion

Fire Badger

• [Napalm] Cost 300 → 250

Developer's Note: We have buffed the relatively less popular Tech of Fire Badger

Abyss

• [Photon Coating] Cost 300 → 250

Developer's Note: We have buffed the relatively less popular Tech of Abyss

Tarantula

• [Spider Mine] Cost 200 → 150

Developer's Note: We have buffed the relatively less popular Tech of Tarantula

Raiden

• [Energy Shield] Cost 200 → 150

Developer's Note: We have buffed the relatively less popular Tech of Raiden

Typhoon

• [Reactive Armor] Cost 200 → 150

Developer's Note: We have buffed the relatively less popular Tech of Typhoon

Hacker

• Attack animation time 0.9s → 0.6s

• ATK 645 → 600 (-7%)

Developer's Note: This adjustment will slightly increase the efficiency of Hackers against Units like Sledgehammers and Typhoons

Vulcan

• HP 32559 → 30279 (-7%)

• [Incendiary Bomb] Cost 300 → 250

• [Sticky Oil Bomb] Cost 200 → 150

• [Ignite] Cost 250 → 300

Developer's Note: Vulcan has been a bit too popular recently, so we've applied a small nerf to it while buffing its less popular Techs.

Sandworm

• ATK 9352 → 9726 (+4%)

• \ Cost 150 → 100

Developer's Note: We have buffed the relatively less popular Tech of Sandworm

Map Layout

• Added two new layouts with fewer defensive structures

Unit Variants

• [Elite Marksman] Level of recruited Marksman: 3 → 2

• [Elite Rhino] Level of recruited Rhino: 3 → 2

• [Elite Steel Ball] Level of recruited Steel Ball: 3 → 2

• [Elite Fang] Level of recruited Fang: 3 → 2

• [Elite Stormcaller] Level of recruited Stormcaller: 3 → 2

• [Elite Arclight] Level of recruited Arclight: 3 → 2

• [Elite Phoenix] Level of recruited Phoenix: 3 → 2

• [Elite Tarantula] Level of recruited Tarantula: 3 → 2

• [Elite Wasp] Level of recruited Wasp: Level 3 → Level 2, Reinforcement Card Level: 2 → 1

• [Elite Mustang] Level of recruited Mustang: 3 → 2, Reinforcement Card Level: 2 → 1

• [Elite Sledgehammer] Level of recruited Sledgehammer: 3 → 2, Reinforcement Card Level: 2 → 1

• [Elite Crawler] Reinforcement Card Level: 2 → 1

4-Player Brawl Match

• Experimental Death Knell will no longer appear in reinforcement after Round 7

Developer's Note: This will effectively reduce the frequency of \[Experimental Death Knell] appearing in 4-Player Brawl Match Mode

Experience Optimization

• During the Deployment Phase, when the mouse hovers over a Tech icon, if the Tech has an area of effect, the exact area of the effect will be displayed around the unit.

• Now you can invite friends or join your friends' rooms through the Steam Client, and view more detailed game status of your Steam friends.

• The system now remembers your previous Lobby filter settings

• Removed the performance warning pop-up displayed before 4-Player Brawl matches

• Maximum number of Emotes equipped: 8 → 16

• The maximum number of participants per group in the Weekend Tournament: 128 → 64

Developer's note: A lower maximum number of participants per group will result in players within the same group having more closely matched skill levels.
