Bug Fixes
Temporarily reverted the Casting Rate changes made in recent updates that addressed repair interruptions caused by Casting Rate reaching 0.
This change is temporary while we continue investigating a more permanent fix.
Map Updates
The Outpost
Reduced the number of enemies required to activate pulse acceleration on Goblin Copter lanes to 2.
This change helps the final few copters spawn much faster.
Moved both Goblin Copter spawners slightly forward.
This was done to help prevent stuck Ogre Copters.
Thank you for your continued support, Defenders.
We’ve got even more content on the horizon, including additional maps, rewards, challenges, and the upcoming cosmetic Crystal Core DLC. Be sure to join our Discord community to stay updated. The link will be in the comments.
Happy Defending,
