MAJOR

• New Defense: The Battlebot
  • Introducing the Battlebot! The newest Defense that moves around the battlefield like a hero. It prioritizes enemies closest to the base and has the ability to protect itself if danger gets too close. It isn’t perfect so be careful about where you place it. When no enemies are around, it’ll walk back to the crystal and relax until the next enemy shows up. With the ability to remove the an enemies defense with each shot, it’s a powerful asset to your team.
  • Cost: 3 Defense Crystals
  • Damage Base: 5
  • Health Base: 3
  • Attack Range: 750
• Soft Level Cap Removed
  • Previously, your hero level was bound by your account level. That cap has been removed now that we see where the balance of the game stands. The level up cost has been adjusted to compensate.
• Crash Fix
  • We’ve finally tracked down the crash issue. When a turret was placed just before losing your base, the game would crash in certain situations when the turret attempted to attack an enemy Lieutenant and the hit animation would play on a loop with a 0 frame delay. That’s been fixed now. Thank you for all of your reports.^
• Boss AI Updated
  • We’ve taken a look at Bosses and the interactions with your team and we want them to feel like more than a power check. When bosses spawn, they’ll now have a small chance to instantly target Heroes and Defenses before moving to Pylons and the Base. Beware and use caution.
