Characters

To begin with, we'll talk about the changes among the characters. In my opinion, the most important comes for Skye, who is going to become even more powerful than she is now, when many find that she deserves a nerf instead. Pip sees his power and mobility diminished.

• Barik
  • Its turrets have been greatly improved in terms of damage, while their rate of fire has been reduced. Barik's rifle power has also been reduced.
• Pip
  • A huge nerf for Pip: his movement speed given by his skill has been drastically reduced. Its firepower and the speed of its projectiles have been reduced.
• Skye
  • The reload mechanism she had has been removed. She can now shoot continuously like other characters.
• Buck
  • Buck's movement speed has been increased while his weapon's accuracy has been greatly reduced. His weapon's range is also halved as his projectiles (9 per shot) gain power. Importantly, targets are now instantly hit.

 

Cards

Many cards have been modified, whether they are simple changes in rarity (change from epic to rare, common to rare, etc.) or indeed.

• Barik
  • * New * Combat Repair
    • [Turret] Staying near a turret heals you for 125 health per second.
• Buck
