[u][b]Patch Highlights [/b][/u] [list] [*] Lee upper and lower strike balancing [*] Adventure mode balancing [*] Optimisation improvements [*] Bug fixes [/list] [u][b]Balancing [/b][/u] [b]Lee the Dragon Master [/b] [i]In the last update we adjusted the reaction cards of the dragon master by reducing the action cost thus levitating the opportunity cost of blocking. This update we will adjust the upper and lower strike package to fit in line with other characters. The problem with the existing mechanics is in order for Lee to activate card texts, his strikes must first be successful AND have a corresponding strike in play first. This results in a large restriction to Lee’s play style as every strike that is played becomes premium. We envisioned Lee to be a flexible jack of all trades warrior that can adapt to situations and pull out the correct tools at the right time. We adjusted a number of his strikes to have an effect on success and be boosted when the upper and lower conditions are met, opening up different patterns of play to make way for the dragon age.

We are working on several changes and the implementation of a new hardcore mode to provide a new dimension of challenge which will be coming later in the year. Our first step to balancing the game mode will reduce the maximum health gains on various nodes and rewards, we will keep a close eye on how the gameplay and meta will shift in the coming weeks.[/i] [b]Elite Fight Battles[/b] Reward : Maximum Health Gain 2 > 1 [b]Enigma Sphere[/b] [i]We found the mystical and dangerous ball of death to be a little too soft, unable to deal enough damage that can sustain it’s signature connection abilities.
