[h3]• Game Modes Balance •[/h3]

[h2]UPDATE 1.9.7[/h2]

[h3]• Changes to the 'Brawl' Mode •[/h3]
We have updated the mutation tree in 'Brawl.' Class mutations now have two levels of upgrades. This means that the first level of such mutations as Vampirism for Fencers or Spiky Armor for Tanks will be weaker than before, but the second level will be stronger. We hope that this change will open up space for more specialized class builds.

By the way, just to remind you that we have an official Discord server where we chat with players once a month in a "radio" format and collect feedback. Feel free to join.

[h3]• Game Modes Balance •[/h3]
We have slightly revised the economic balance in 'Hunger Games' and reduced the number of tokens received at almost all levels. However, now, there are more tokens in all other modes that feature food. The economy in those modes has become somewhat messed up lately, so it's about time we fixed it.

[h3]• Classes Balance •[/h3]

• Boomfish: Cooldown: 10 sec ➔ 20 sec;
  
• Plasma Gun: Base damage: 105 ➔ 115;
  
• Bananabomb: Damage multiplier: 0.9 ➔ 1.2;
  
• Death Deferred (Т5 Healers' ability): Duration: 12 sec ➔ 8 sec;
  
• Pain Lover (Т4 Tricksters' ability) now grants bonus attack speed instead of damage;
  
• Railgun (Т4 Shooters' ability) now deals 240 ➔ 280 additional damage.
  

[h3]
• Mutations Balance •[/h3]

• Stonewall: Armor bonus: 60 ➔ 120;
  
• Impenetrability is now unavailable to the Fighters class;
  
• Mutation Altar reroll with the active Curse of Mutation mutation now costs less: 5 tokens ➔ 3 tokens;
  
• Newbie's Luck in modes without food now grants ONLY bonus to item discovery, but the chance to discover them has been increased: 1% ➔ 2%.

[h2]UPDATE 1.9.6[/h2]

[h3]• New Animations •[/h3]
Some puny humans (wielding some weapons) now have new rare idle animations. They are triggered randomly, the only condition being that humans should not be in combat. Is it just me or is someone living in the tank's fridge?🤔❄️

[h3]• Mutations Balance •[/h3]

[h3]• Game Modes Balance •[/h3]

• In the first two levels of the "Hunger Games" mode, the number of tokens received has been slightly reduced;
  
• We've made changes to the mutation tree in "Brawl": Magic Defence Bonus and Fast Reload have swapped places—now you can upgrade magic resistance much earlier;
  
• Last Word in "Brawl" now drops starting from level 4;
  
• Impostor in "Brawl" now drops from starting level 5;
  
• NanoMineSweeper in "Brawl" now drops starting from level 4.
