[h2]Dedicated Server[/h2]

• Self restarts after 9 rounds have passed
  
• Supports map switching
  

[h2]Hemlock:[/h2]

• Plummeter
  + Damage changed from (15 to 35) to (25 to 45)
  + Character-hit Downward velocity changed from 1350 to 1850
  + Added a slow effect to hit enemies (Reduces movement speed to 30% & Jump Height by 50%) for 3 seconds
  
• Bleed
  - Removed an accidental weakness to physical damage while under bleed
  

Summary: Hemlock should be in a overall way-better competitive strength after this change! Give him a try to counter those pesky Friday players :)


[h2]Charlie[/h2]

• + Run speed at low health increased from 1150 to 1350
  
• + Run speed scaling changed from 0-100 HP to 0-150 HP (Gain speed sooner)
  
• + Brush-off calculation changed from 100% damage taken to 70% damage taken (Makes her tankier)
  
• + Energy Regen rate 20 -> 30 per tick
  

[h3]Staff Slam (Ability 3)[/h3]

[h3]Knock Out Punch (Ability 4)[/h3]

• + Increased damage 60 to 65
  

[h3]Jab (Ability 1)[/h3]

• - Reduced damage 40 to 35
  
• + Reduced energy cost 20 to 0
  

Summary: Charlie was intentionally designed to be weak, but I felt like she was a bit too squishy. I think the new (30%~) Damage mitigation should help her live longer, and with her energy cost adjustments there's now more choice in melee combat


[h2]Friday(Bunny)[/h2]

• - Health changed from 90 to 80
  
• - Unarmed movement speed 1000 to 900 units per second
  
• - Weapon movement speed 800 to 700 units per second
  
• - Kick Damage 50 to 40
  

[h3]Heal Magnum:[/h3]

• + 50 healing to 70 healing per shot
  

Summary: Friday was the strongest character in the game by a wide-margin. She needed nerfs, but I hoped to preserve her mobile play-style as that is the fun factor.


[h2]Abigail[/h2]

• - Reduced ammo regen on TNT, Rifle, & Shotgun ammo by 50%
  
• Turrets
  
• - Removed the slight knock-back from turret shots
  
• - Damage 8 -> 6
  
• - Bullet Speed 10,000 -> 9,000 units per second
  
• + Build cost 150 -> 130 Pistol Ammo
  
• + Added a Red outline for enemy turrets within their firing range (3550)
  

Summary: Abigail was in an alright spot, maybe a bit on the strong side. These minor adjustments should keep her from becoming the true terror i believed her to be.


[h2]Ammo Boxes[/h2]

• + Increased ammo in each box by roughly 50%
  

[h2]Bingo[/h2]

• + In-combat stealth cost 35 -> 30 per second
  
• - Out of combat stealth cost 15 -> 20 per second
  
• + Energy regen 10 -> 15 per second
  
• + Max energy 100 -> 120
  
• + Starting energy 50 -> 80
  

Summary: Bingo felt weak, after these changes he can effectively stay in stealth for 20 seconds (starting with full energy) should help him evade fire a bit better
