Heroes

We like Ezili as she is and don’t want to mess with her too much, but currently her level 19 does effectively nothing so we thought it would be nice at this level to shift a little of that MOAB bonus damage on the main attack into raw damage instead.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
19-20
  • Buff Ezili main attack DoT increased ― 3 → 6
  • Nerf Ezili main attack DoT MOAB bonus reduced ― 28 → 25
We still want a little more out of Brickell’s single target Revolver attack as it’s the least exciting per of her arsenal so are decreasing the attack cooldown, however her mega mine ability also performs exceptionally well throughout all moab rounds so we want to slightly increase its final cooldown instead
— Update notes
Levels Changes
2-11
  • Buff  Revolver cooldown reduced ― 0.7 → 0.65
12+
  • Buff  Revolver cooldown reduced ― 0.4 → 0.35
18-20
  • Nerf  Mega Mine cooldown ― 40s → 45
Gerry’s Fire functions in a unique way where it can inherit some self-buffing bonuses of the towers that it’s applied to, although a lot of people have pointed out that since Ninja Monkey always has Camo this means it’s the only non-hero tower that gains a Camo Detection but can never pass it on to the Gerry’s Fire as this doesn’t come from an upgrade. We were hesitant to buff this interaction while Geraldo was much more powerful and his synergy with Ninja was already good, but he’s cooled off enough now that we’re happy to try this out. Additionally with Gerry’s Fire one of our programmers was having some fun with it, and we liked what we saw, so that will also be a thing now.
