Pathing & Targeting

Fixed a case where a unit would get stuck in mobs

Waves and mercenaries now prioritize units based on missing life, rather than missing % life. This helps tanks properly take aggro in some situations

Waves and mercenaries now use tower placement as a tie-breaker when acquiring a target. This means that if you build a Mudman ahead of a Nightmare, the wave will prefer to focus the Mudman, all else equal. The Nightmare will still draw aggro if it previously took more damage or if an enemy creature/mercenary is closer when it’s acquiring a target.

Tanks mercenaries should be less likely to cause your melee DPS units to die before your tanks, especially on ranged waves and boss waves.

These changes don’t magically make all your DPS units survive, but they help in some cases. Proper positioning is still very important.

Mastermind

Increased the probability of getting rolls with magic and impact damage

Decreased the probability of getting too many rolls with pierce damage

This change compensates for the fact that pierce is the most common type of damage, especially among DPS units. Going forward, we’re making an effort to balance out frequencies of attack/defense types, including more magic and impact damage and more swift tanks.

Fixes & Improvements

Classic Matchmaking

- If a player has been waiting longer than 5 minutes, it will now fill with bots. This fixes some cases during off-hours where it would take a very long time to find a match.

Fixes

- Fixed a rare case where a mercenary would spawn with 0 hp

Tutorial

- Tweaked UI to be more clear that only the first two tutorials are required to play multiplayer
