Bloody Efforts
Hotfix 1.27.b - Crash fix!
and HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
Hotfix 1.27.a
PATCH NOTES 1.27: ABILITY REVOLUTION
Today, I will bring you lots of changes to the game. There are some quality of life improvements as well as a new approach to Stamina and Focus resources! I wanted to make clashes more intensive, so you can cast Abilities nearly twice as often! Though resource gain is slower, so you’ll need to rest a bit before the next Battle. Furthermore Client got a big update, now is more resistant to Antivirus blocking and has quicker loading times by 80%! It means much less waiting for matches. Next patch will also take some time to arrive but I’m going to make a lot of big changes as well :)
NEW Content:
- Removed Triple Strike Ability - ps. We are going to bring back the mechanic with a new Weapon Set in future ;)
- Added 9 new Abilities - for each Weapon + one Extra
- Rebalance All Ability System:
- Base Stats: 100 Stamina -> 200 Stamina; 12 Focus -> 8 Focus.
- All Ability Cooldowns Reduced by 30%-50%.
- Adjust Stamina and Focus Stats and Empowerments from Cards. - Heroes: Gin, Hayleen, Fang, Kalder, Synis, Zeira adjustments to the new Systems.
- Removed Balance Stats cost - it’s for free now. And you can use it from Level 3!

Card Changes:

- increased range: +10%
- increased moving speed: +25%.
- increased damage: 6 -> 15.
- advancing damage: damage is increasing over time from 6 to 15.
- damage applies only once for all waves.
- the Dune pulls instead of pushing
Changes & Bug Fixes:
- Sword Range Fixed - bigger characters used to have issues with hitting characters at long range ( swords just went through the enemy without dealing damage).
- Change Test Build Env to fit quicker tests (smaller map, brainless Dummy, quick respawn)
PATCH NOTES 1.26: ELEMENTAL BALANCE
Hey!
