Axon TD: Uprising News

[h2]Survival[/h2]

• All single target Defenses now have +20% damage in Survival and Co-op Survival to help them with scaling a little better into the lategame.
  
• Slightly bumped the HP scaling beyond wave 90 of Blank Canvas and Islands.
  

[h2]Balance[/h2]

- Lifter
- Carrier
- Replicator
- Supply Tank
- Disruptor
- Protector
