[Artillery Changes] Full Arsenal Overhaul: Bracing for the Winds of Winter

[p]Lords and Knights,[/p][p]As the curtain rises on the War of the Roses and battle lines stretch ever thinner, old tactics are failing against the bitter winds of the North. To adapt to these drastic shifts in warfare, the War Council has rallied the finest craftsmen of Alnwick Castle to thoroughly restore and upgrade the long-dormant weapons in our armory.[/p][p]Artillery once thought unfit for the intensity of modern battlefields have been polished, calibrated, and are ready to return to the front. Below are the details of these logistical adjustments:[/p][h3]Ballista[/h3][p]While retraining its signature ability to execute one-shot headkills, we have recalibrated the bowstring tension, turning it into a reaper of the battlefield.[/p]
  • [p]Epic/Rare Ballista: Significantly increased damage, allowing for efficient and rapid elimination of targets.[/p]
[h3]Scorpio[/h3][p]The Quartermaster has improved the oil formula, giving the flames greater adhesiveness and corrosiveness. The Scorpio is no longer a nightmare solely for low-tier soldiers; even well-equipped knight phalanxes will now feel the bone-deep scorch.[/p]
  • [p]Epic Scorpio: Increased the accumulation speed of burn values.[/p]
  • [p]All Qualities Scorpio: Enhanced control capabilities against high-tier Units. Fire now gradually accumulates burn values on these troops; even Units with the \[Fire-Resistant] trait will suffer substantial damage.[/p]
  • [p]Technical Revision: Fixed a deviation where the actual burn effect exceeded the intended intensity, ensuring consistent tactical expectations.[/p]
[h3]Cannon[/h3][p]We have redesigned the core gunpowder ratio and loading process to create heavy firepower capable of instantly tearing through enemy lines with a larger blast radius and faster rate of fire.[/p]
  • [p]Epic Cannon: Increased core explosion range and splash damage.[/p]
  • [p]Epic Cannon: Reduced reload time to improve continuous suppression capability.[/p]
[h3]Hwacha Launcher[/h3][p]Craftsmen have adjusted the arrow canister structure to establish a new tactical role: abandoning unreliable long-range suppression in favor of becoming a devastating storm in close-quarters combat.[/p]
  • [p]All Qualities Hwacha Launcher: Ballistic mechanics reconstructed. The closer the target, the flatter the trajectory and the higher the accuracy.[/p]
  • [p]All Qualities Hwacha Launcher: Arrow flight decay parameters adjusted. Reduced damage against distant heavy-armor targets in exchange for drastically increased suppression power against nearby targets.[/p]
  • [p]Epic Hwacha Launcher: Increased piercing damage, featuring low armor penetration but high damage output.[/p]
  • [p]Epic/Rare Hwacha Launcher: Reduced firing interval, allowing all firepower to be unleashed in a short burst.[/p]
[p]The thunder of heavy cavalry approaches, and the pike phalanxes stand ready. This power has been entrusted to you; use it well in the battles to come.[/p][p]My Lord, give the order.[/p][p]—— The High Council[/p]
