Update 1.11.0.1

This update mainly focuses on bug fixes and addressing the balance issues of the Experimental Death Knell. We plan to release more balance adjustments in the near future.

Balance Adjustments

Experimental Death Knell

• Laser Trial Attack Range modifier -10 → 0

• Hyper Diffraction Attack Range modifier -30 → -25

• Rapid Reload Missile launch interval reduced by 5s → 6s

• Magazine Expansion Missile count per launch increased by 10 → 15

• Shield Trial Shield value per Rank 30000 → 25000

• Wide-Area Projection Shield value increased per Rank by 50000 → 25000

• Shield Recharge Shield regenerates HP per second 4000 → 2000

• Shield Reboot Reboot time 20s → 25s

Developer's Note

The shield Tech line of the Experimental Death Knell has been too strong in the past week, so we have nerfed its shield Tech line while buffing other weaker Techs.

Typhoon

• Wreckage Detonation Explosion range 15 → 12, damage 125 → 115

• Field Reassembly Cost 250 → 300

Developer's Note

Currently, we are closely monitoring the evolution of Typhoon-related tactics. What is relatively clear at this point is that some Typhoon Techs are a bit too strong, so a minor nerf is needed.

Hacker

• ATK 585 → 615 (+5%)

Developer's Note

After changes to its Attack Pattern, Hacker has become a bit too weak. This minor adjustment will help Hacker more effectively counter High HP Units while still maintaining its weakness against Light Units.

Vortex

• HP 7071 → 7425 (+5%)

• ATK 1246 → 1309 (+5%)

Developer's Note

When making Vortex a starting unit, we made some nerfs to it, and it seems these nerfs might be a bit excessive. In particular, Vortex appears extremely weak against Sabertooth, and this adjustment will make Vortex perform slightly better when facing the Sabertooth.

Phoenix

• ATK 3219 → 3058（-5%）

Developer's Note

With the addition of Vortex as a starting unit and the complete rework of the Typhoon, both the win rate and usage rate of the Phoenix have increased a lot. Therefore, we need to make a minor nerf to it.

Sabertooth

• ATK 7243 → 6881 (-5%)

Developer's Note

With the addition of Vortex as a starting unit and the complete rework of the Typhoon, both the win rate and usage rate of the Sabertooth have increased a lot. Therefore, we need to make a minor nerf to it.

Arclight

• Charged Shot Cost 150 → 100

• ATK 347 → 365 (+5%)

Developer's Note

While Arclight is already slightly weaker compared to other chaff-clear units, we fixed a bug related to Arclight’s Shockwave in this patch, which makes Arclight slightly weaker than before. So we decided to make a minor buff to it.

Scorpion

• Convergent Fire Attack Range modifier +20 → +30

Developer's Note

The initial stats of Scorpion’s new Tech are a bit too conservative, which resulted in a lower win rate for this Tech. Therefore, we need to slightly buff it.

War Factory

• Phoenix Production Production interval 15.6s →17.2s, Maximum production count 7 → 6

• Steel Ball Production Production interval 8.8s → 9.7s, Maximum production count 11 → 10

• Sledgehammer Production Production interval 6s → 6.6s, Maximum production count 17 → 14

• Armor Enhancement Cost 400 → 350

• Photon Coating Cost 300 → 250

• Launcher Overload Cost 350 → 300

Developer's Note

This adjustment aims to balance the usage rates of different Techs of War Factory. We slightly nerfed the production-related Tech, and at the same time, slightly buffed other Techs. The reduction of the maximum count of production will mainly affect 2v2 and 4-Player Brawl matches, and it will have very little impact on 1v1 battles.
