Game Balance

Legion Spells

Pulverizer

- Attack speed: 10% >> 8%

Titan

- Health gained: 1250 >> 1300

Venture

- Maximum gold invested: 110 >> 105

Recent nerfs to wave 12 and buffs to wave 13 indirectly buffed Venture and made it too strong.

Villain

- Damage amplification: 32% (16% ranged) >> 30% (15% ranged)

Fighters

Oathbreaker

- Health: 1140 >> 1100
- Unchained Rage: Attack speed bonus: 250% >> 260%

Oathbreaker is overpowered, particularly on wave 5, but balanced as an opening. This change maintains its current power as an opening, while nerfing it otherwise
