More at the mid to endgame we are also weakening distraction distance against Ceramics specifically as by this point Ninja have stacked so much speed and projectiles the consistency doesn’t matter anymore.

Max merged Golden Eagle gaining the ability to grab MOABs made sense at the time although the the pierce and penalties as they were at the time that meant it jumped up from grabbing no MOABs to suddenly 3 MOABs at a time which seemed too far, so the pierce penalty on MOABs is being increased at the T3 so that this reduces from 3 to 2 MOABs at a time.|version=40.0|tower=Beast Handler|changes 1 tiers=000|changes 1=*{{buff|Beast Handler reposition cooldown reduced|5s|3}}|changes 2 tiers=4XX|changes 2=*{{buff|4xx Orca knockback duration increased|0.2|0.3}}
