Hey everyone! Today, we are releasing a new update for Godbreakers!
Currently, the team is focused and working hard on Update 2, but in between Update 1 and 2, we wanted to release a smaller patch to add some balancing fixes, improve some of the weaker Archetype abilities, make adjustments to some fragments and the economy, as well as fix several bugs.
For the Archetype abilities, we didn't want to be too crazy and completely overhaul them right now because we think most of them are in a good spot, but just need some tweaking. We may revisit some of them in the future if they require further work. We have mostly tweaked duration, damage, and size for now, but we will continue to monitor these as we progress.
Also, for this update, we haven’t touched the bosses because we believe their damage and health are in a good spot after Update 1, and most new players find the bosses to be a good challenge for them. One boss we did address was Monad; we increased the speed of each explosion when a phase shift occurs. For phases 2 and 3, you will see it run a bit faster than before, and it has also been tweaked to summon the aspects of the other Hylarians.
