Void Scout Update – v1.2 - More enemy variety, more tactical freedom and options

[p]The latest update is here, bringing more variety and more ways to fight for survival.[/p]

[p]Enemies evolve: vulnerabilities, resistances, and new special skills mean no two fights are the same, and enemies are harder to control and bottleneck.[/p]
[p]Melee matters: melee weapons hit harder and stun more often, making close combat a stronger option.[/p]
[p]Tactical freedom: nanotech powers are now all bonus actions, so you can strike and unleash abilities in the same turn. You can also move after attacking.[/p]
[p]New powers: fresh nanotech skills to discover, from the devastating Fury to the defensive Hardening.[/p]

[p]The multiverse grows more dangerous, but so too do your options. Adapt, improvise, and survive.[/p][p][/p][p]The full change list is below. Let me know what you think of the update! Whether you love it or hate it, feedback is welcome.[/p][p][/p][h2]⚔️ Combat & Weapons[/h2]

[hr][/hr][h2]🔧 Nanotech Changes[/h2]

[p]Rupture, Flare, and Rush nanotech skills now stun targets. Flashbang cooldown increased (4 → 5) and Flare cooldown increased (3 → 4).[/p]
