Balance:

  • Arcane Tank: Counter Chance 15% -> 25%
  • Arcane Tank: Block Chance 10% -> 15%
  • Barrier Ship: Block Chance 10% -> 15%

*Dev note: Tier 2 bosses felt just a little bit weak compared to the other tiers. Slightly increasing their defenses and keeping an eye on how that goes.

  • Cannon Tower's mana ability now deals 150% damage, down from 200% - Cannon Tower's level 10 ability now increased damage by 2 for each critical hit, up from 1.

*Dev note: the level 5 ability was a bit too strong for a tier 1 tower, but some of that power is now shifted to the level 10 ability which felt underwhelming
