Hello everyone, Gronkins here with patch 0.5.4 of Dungeon Exiles! So this may be one of the last patches for the demo as the full version is releasing very soon! In case you haven’t heard, the official release date of Dungeon Exiles is the 8th of August and the Steam page has been updated with this information. But with that out of the way, let’s get into the patch notes!
Game Balance
Evasion has been reworked to follow an entropy-based system so over time evading will be more consistent. For example, if attacked ten times with a 30% evasion chance, you will always evade 3 hits
Note: Dodge is still fully random and does not follow this entropy-based system
