[h2]IX. Unit and System Optimization[/h2]

[h3]Balance Adjustment[/h3]

Based on recent battlefield performance data and feedbacks from the community, we will be making balance adjustments to several units in Season 18. With these balance adjustments, we aim to provide opportunities for some underperforming but unique seasonal units to see play, making the battlefield more diverse overall.

[Shieldmaidens]
Shieldmaidens has demonstrated relatively weak performance in recent battlefield environments, their data even unable to match with units that have similar mechanics but lower leadership cost. As the only five-star Heavy Shield unit, we hope to give them better defensive capabilities.
Changes:

Leadership cost 310 -> 280
The damage reduction of the [Cover Commander] has been increased from 15% to 30%.
The effect of defense increase in the [Guardian] has been upgraded from 10% to 20%.
Basic Slashing Damage increases by 10%.
Basic Piercing Damage increases by 10%.

[Varangian Guards]
as a unit specializing in The Counterstrike, it has been performing poorly against some meta units. We aim to enhance their damage resistance during defense and their damage output during counterattacks, making the tactical gameplay on the battlefield more diverse..
Changes:

The effect of damage reduction in the [Unbreakable] has been increased from 30% ----> damage taken reduced by 40%.
[Raging Onslaught] All types of armor penetration increased from 300 ——> 400.

[Siphonaris]
Siphonaris has a unique attack style, providing significant suppression against high-density infantry. However, their overall performance is relatively poor at present. We aim to enhance their basic attributes appropriately to introduce some changes to the local dynamics of the battlefield.
Changes:

Leadership Cost 315 ——>300
Basic blunt damage increases by 200.
Basic health increases by 20%

[Falconetti Gunners]
The Falconetti Gunners possesses unique strategic value and features a distinct attack style. However, its impact on the current battlefield environment is diminishing. We aim to increase their firepower output duration appropriately, allowing them to better utilize their unique advantages.
Changes:

Leadership Cost 320 ——> 300
Basic Ammo increases by 30%

[Grayhair Garrison]
As a uniquely versatile unit, it has been underperforming against some meta four-star units. Enhancing their survivability, especially when activating the 'Last Stand' skill, can bring more diversity to the current battlefield environment.
Changes:

Leadership Cost 230 ——> 200
Basic health increases by 20%.
The effect of damage reduction in the [Last Stand] changes from 15% to 25%.

[Alchemists]
Alchemists is the first unit in the warfront with an auxiliary healing mechanism, and their healing skills are unique and interesting. We aim to further reduce their command value and significantly increase the healing effect of their ' Healing Hands ' skill, encouraging warlords on the battlefield to engage in altruistic behavior.
Changes:

Leadership Cost 90 ——> 60
[Healing Hands]: Regeneration 1% of maximum HP --> Regeneration 10% of maximum HP

[Prefecture Pikemen]
As a unit primarily relying on charges for their damage output, reducing its charge cooldown would allow them to better adapt to the current dynamic battlefield environment.
Changes:

Reduced the cooldown for Charge from 60 seconds to 40 seconds.

[Ironcap Spearmen]
The Ironcap Spearmen as a meta three-star with heavy shield unit, we aim to increase their health to differentiate them from other shield units..
Changes:

Leadership Cost 150 ——> 130
Base health increase by 30%.

[Kriegsrat Fusiliers]
Kriegsrat Fusiliers stand out among the various rifle units due to their high movement speed and impressive firepower. We aim to slightly reduce their health to provide warlords with more opportunities to exploit their weaknesses when facing the Vienna Rifle Guards.
Changes:

Base health decreases by 30%.

[Ironcap Scout Cavalry]
Ironcap Scout Cavalry has been favored by warlords since its mastery was launched. However, its excessively high cost-effectiveness and significant control ability over heroes have greatly affected battlefield balance. We aim to increase their leadership cost and reduce their control ability over heroes, creating more opportunities for warlords to counter the Ironcap Scout Cavalry on the battlefield.
Changes:

Leadership Cost 95 --> 120
The [Dominate the World] no longer causes a Dazed effect on Heroes.

This adjustment will issue [Ironcap Scout Cavalry Doctrine Removal Token] and [Ironcap Scout Cavalry Scroll of Forgetfulness] to our warlords. After using these items, all activated Doctrines become removable, and 100% of the corresponding resources spent in Mastery will be refunded.

[h3]Ragdoll Physics[/h3]

We have added a ragdoll effect to the impact and explosive attacks of heroes, units, and artillery that deal powerful blows or explosions when killing enemy infantry units.
You can turn on effect by [ESC -> Graphics -> Graphics Settings -> Ragdoll System].

Adjusted the maps in the early matchmaking pool for new players, primarily focusing on seasonal theme, and optimized the guidance for the first two battle.

[h3]Optimizations to Commander Rule Changes[/h3]

[h3] System Interaction Experience[/h3]
