05.07.2025 - Hotfix #3

With this hotfix, we've made further adjustments – both to improve clarity and to enhance overall game balance.

🌈 Less glare – more clarity

To give your eyes a break, we've once again toned down some of the visual effects – sunglasses should no longer be required when watching the battle unfold.
The following elements are affected:

• Nova Turret: Visual effects have been further reduced.

• Flamethrower: Particle effects have also been softened.

Bright, flashy effects are great – but in a tower defense game with 40+ turrets on the battlefield, they can seriously impact visibility.

📏 Increased range for Rockets and Railgun

• Rocket Launcher and Railgun now have a higher base range.

• The range gained through upgrades has also been significantly increased (more than doubled) to better reflect their role as long-range weapons.

⚠️ Cooldown Power-Ups & Support Turret nerfed

• Cooldown power-ups have been significantly weakened and are now limited to 50 per round.

• The Support Turret can now provide a maximum of 10% cooldown reduction (without items).

• Turrets themselves have also been adjusted: their cooldown reduction via upgrades is now limited.

Why this change?
Cooldown is one of the most powerful stats in the game. Instead of being "given away for free," it should now be earned strategically through the skill tree, items, boost cards, etc.
This also helps reduce visual overload when not every turret is firing at maximum speed all the time.

🧱 Bosses now immune to CC

• Slow and Stun no longer affect bosses.
  This has always been the intended behavior — but due to the last update, this rule was unintentionally bypassed. The issue is now fixed.

💀 Health scaling reverted

• The previously planned enemy HP scaling has been reverted to normal values.
  Since many players have now adapted to the new mechanics, further increases are currently not necessary.

🌐 Server reconnection restored

• Automatic reconnection to the server after a disconnect is now working again.
  This feature used to function correctly but broke due to technical changes. We’ve reimplemented it, and it should now work reliably again.
