  • Increased stun chance for crush

  • Reduced initiative of Skeleton Mage, but increased elemental strength

3) Improved enemy AI

Plenty of adjustments, but most notoriously:

  • AI internally assigns a priority value to each player unit, depending on how much of a potential threat it is to the current AI squad. Ej: if AI has a lot of beasts, enemy hunters get higher priority because they do bonus damage to beasts. This priority is one of the main factors when deciding which unit to attack or debuff.

  • When chosing a target to apply a status effect, it now considers more factors like priority, remaining HP, momentum and stability, how close it is to the opposite team's units, and how close it is to key tiles like runes or control zones.

  • AI now adapts it's "personality" over time to reflect the current situation. This include several variables like aggresiveness, friendly hero protection, enemy hero focus, upgrade priorities and much more.

4) Aesthethics Improvements

  • Re-done all the environments in Enchanted Forest and Permafrost Peaks from scratch. This includes terrain, trees or rocks surrounding the playable area, lightning and effects like snow, fog, rain and fireflies.

  • Improved lot of visual effects, mostly for spells.

  • Lot of UI improvements
