Today, we made the following balance changes to Robocraft based on player feedback:

BALANCE CHANGES:

• All crystal health has been doubled.
• Owning each Tower now gives you +33% Protonivity*; this is reduced from 50%.
• Number of towers captured in BA/LA now have less effect over Protonivity escalator. 3 towers captured now double Protonivity instead of tripling it. 2 towers are x1.66 instead of x2, 1 tower is x1.33 instead of x1.Amount of Protonivity gained over time has been decreased 2.5 times
• Changes to Weapon Energy curve. The CPU/Energy curve is slightly steeper now, so 1k CPU bots have around 10% less Weapon Energy.
• Plasma maximum firerate reduced from 0.12 secs between shots to 0.2 secs between shots to reduce burst effectiveness. Please note that the damage and energy cost stay the same.
• EMP stun effect has been reduced from 7.5 secs to 5.5 secs (time to deploy EMP remains at 2 secs)
• Ion Distorter and Ion Destabiliser energy cost per shot reduced by 20%
• Power Module cool down is now 60 seconds, it was previously 120 seconds.
• Aeroflak stack now takes 1.5 seconds to accumulate, from 1.0 seconds before (damage, firerate etc stay the same
• Tesla Protonivity reduced by 25%
• Chain Shredder Protonivity reduced by 20%
• Robots now explode (essentially die) when 10% of their total CPU remains, previously this was 25%.

*Protonivity is the percentage-based multiplier that is used when calculating the damage done to Protonium Crystals for each weapon. In other words, each weapon does a different amount of damage to crystals, some are more effective than others at capturing objectives faster.
