Our focus this patch continued to be on abilities and bug-fixing. We have a total of 6 abilities (or 7 if you count Gambit, which we snuck in on a hotfix soon after the last patch), which we’re excited to show off and get feedback on!
Gameplay
Zed: Parry – A defensive ability that can send hostile projectiles right back from whence they came
Zed: Condenser – Allows you to cram in more resources in that compartment, and protects them
Kylian: Caustic Grenade – Does some small damage on impact and also melts raw minerals on the affected unit
Iron Strike: Gambit - Reveals the unit completely to the enemy by creating a lot of noise; the noise drowns out other close by units’ activities
Iron Strike: Inferno – On impact creates an inferno of fire, that does damage to units and also melts raw minerals on affected units that pass through
Zed: Eagle Eye – Detects moving units and marks them on the map for a period of time
Zed: Corrupt – A hacking attack that can shut down a unit’s engines temporarily if hit with Corrupt frequently enough
