Update 1.1

Attack Tower Heat Rework

• Laser towers and other attack towers no longer generate heat on their own

• Towers that generate heat from attacking can now be freely combined with the new setup

Pilot Expansion

• Added a large batch of new pilot traits — every pilot now has at least one unique trait

• Added Negative pilots: some stats are stronger, but each comes with a heavy price

• New traits include:

• Interest

• Stasis

• Kill Rebate (Power / Attack Speed)

• Commander's Aura

• Overheat Grace

• Last-Stand Node Frenzy

• Attacks inflict Radiation

• More Gold, More Damage

• Isolated Network Crits

• Global Attack Speed Tax

• Amplified Attack Heat Change

• …and more

Other Additions

• Missile explosions reworked: larger hit detection, scales with explosion size bonuses, nuke-tier blasts

• New hover panel

Tweaks

• Kill-streak gold now follows a logarithmic curve

• Luck system reworked: most probabilistic procs are now affected by Luck, which is split into global Luck and local Luck (defaults to the tower's own Luck)

• Removed Node plugin cards

• Enemy balance changes:

• Golden Mosquitoes are now more fragile

• Phages are now tougher

• Small Phages are now more fragile

• Further optimized performance when large numbers of enemies die at once

UI & Presentation

• Towers with no temperature cap (e.g. Fever) now also display a heat bar, using 100° as the visual reference
