Balance Adjustments Deep Dive
As noted above, we've made a number of changes to balance Heroes, Units, and Buildings. The goal here is to improve early-game survivability, smooth out some frustrating aspects, and give a few underperforming characters a much-needed boost. Here’s a closer look at the v1.0.1 as well as 1.0 balance adjustments, and how your gameplay experience will change.Heroes
Merek Merek has always had great potential but struggled with low survivability and clear speed, especially early in the game. We've made a few tweaks to ensure he can shine as a tank-healer hybrid, excelling alongside an army that benefits from his presence.- Improved base HP from 170 to 320 (this change reflects across all levels)
- Improved base damage to 17 from 14
- Increased damage of Crushing Weight across all levels
- Improved HP across all levels, ie:[list]
- Level 1: 165 from 145
- Level 10: 905 from 880
- Added small amount of armour per level after level 2
