Heroes

May as well be a general camo for Ben level given that Trojan gives camo at 18 too
— Update notes
Levels Changes
18+
  • Buff Level 18 Syphon Funding affects DDTs
Levels Changes
3+
  • Buff Placing towers in Pat’s radius will now show a grayed out Rallying Roar buff icon (bug fix)
Adora is a unique hero in how she has a great deal more value in spending cash to level her up faster, however she outperforms other heroes by too much regardless of this added cost. As her ability uptime is so incredibly good to the point of being completely spammable we’re increasing that cooldown slightly and reducing her base pierce in the higher levels so more thought must be required to utilize the large pierce increase she gains from usage of that ability.

Bosses

As knowledge, power & variety of Paragons has developed they have turned out to be extremely powerful against vortex and we have reached a point with enough good paragon diversity we no longer feel like they need to resist Vortex’s stun for such a large advantage over other towers, instead of this we feel Vortex’s stun is just too long in general so is being reworked to an overall lower amount across the tiers without any paragon immunity.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Paragons no longer have 50% reduced stun duration
  • Stun duration reworked at all tiers for generally reduced durations
  • Nerf T2 ― 16s → 19s
  • Nerf T3 ― 20s → 21s
  • Buff T4 ― 25s → 24s
  • Buff T5 ― 30s → 27s
  • Buff ET1 ― 20s → 18s
  • Buff ET2 ― 25s → 21s
  • Buff ET3 ― 30s → 24s
  • Buff ET4 ― 36s → 27s
  • Buff ET5 ― 40s → 30s
Lych has some cheese strategy in pre-buffing before spawn to get around the draining mechanics, but boss functionality now makes it easy for us to try out a quick change to counteract some of this.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Lych now triggers the 'buff drain' attack immediately on spawn
