Epic Balance Evolution on Artix Entertainment

Last week introduced some spicy balance changes to Cyber Hunters, and this week we're kicking up the scoville units to dangerous levels and we overhaul Tactical Mercenaries, Blood Mages, Tech Mages, and make additional changes to Cyber Hunters. These changes should hopefully add some more build options and introduce interesting variety to battles.

Also, we've made some security updates to the site so you might need to update your bookmarks to point to https://epicduel.artix.com/play-now/ and https://epicduel.artix.com/ for the latest working version of the game and website.
