Welcome to Patch 0.18!
This is a small one, with a bunch of bugfixes and the release of our next character: Evil Hikaru! Kickstarter backers have been able to play him for a bit, but now everyone can go at it!
Updates:
- Evil Hikaru is now available for all players as a purchasable fighter.
- Evil Hikaru's listed difficulty updated to 4, from 3.
- Cesar's listed difficulty updated to 3, from 2.
Balance Changes:
Evil Hikaru:
- Pure Evil - Power raised from -1 to +0. Pure Evil is Evil Hikaru's hardest Style to use due to lack of defenses and low Priority; this should help put the reward in line with the risk.
- Devastator now hits at Range 4 if the Power debuff does not apply (at 2 or fewer tokens). Evil Hikaru's ranges are... spotty at best, and he's particularly weak when at range. Devastator is a hard Base to use due to its movement issues, but this should give him an interesting ranged option that he needs to work for.
