King of the Hill Season 29 | New Seasonal Mutation: "Season of the Meganewbie"

[h2]• Seasonal Mutation: "Season of the Meganewbie" •[/h2]

In Season 27, we introduced "Seasonal Mutations"—significant changes to Despot’s Game that alter the game's perception for one season. Seasons last, on average, 3-4 weeks, and when the season ends, these changes are reverted.

"Season of Newbies" has ended! Now Newbies cost as usual again; their price no longer increases in modes with food.



[h3]Welcome to Season 29—"Season of the Meganewbie".[/h3]

The Meganewbie is now stronger! Its health and damage have increased, and it has acquired a number of useful abilities:

• Newbie Summoning: Every 10 seconds, the Meganewbie summons smaller newbies!
  
• Shockwave: Every 6 seconds, the Meganewbie strikes the ground, creating a powerful shockwave;
  
• Domineering Gaze: There is a 30% chance that the enemy may be stunned when attacked by the Meganewbie.
  

[h3]• Game Mode Balances •[/h3]

• The "Normal" mode has been made more challenging: more enemies will now appear in rooms on all floors, and the economy of the mode has become slightly less generous. This change is mainly aimed at new players – last year, we significantly simplified "Normal" when we released the "Director's Cut" version. We started receiving more complaints that the game was too easy. The challenge is back!
