Infernal Update on Artix Entertainment

EpicDuel has just been updated with new war changes, restocked Pyro Fly, new achievements, and a new CC Pyro Fly travel form!

War

Currently, the war system functions on a mostly "winner take all" binary. We've changed the system to encourage participation regardless of Alignment by adding a new prize tier. This will allow all players who perform at a high level to earn the war prize, plus a larger amount of Credits and Arcade tokens.

New tier at 15K influence: “Warlord”
Warlord Tier prizes
- 20,000 Credits
- 20 Arcade Tokens
- You can claim prize regardless of winning alignment

Balance

After the last update, Tactical Mercenaries appeared to overperform in 1v1, mostly as a consequence of regaining passive armor and energy regeneration.

Tactical Mercenary
- Frenzy: Reverted the skill back to work more like it did in Delta. With the return of Reroute, Frenzy's strong health and energy recovery were too strong.
  - Added an energy cost
  - Blockable
  - Increased base HP gain
    - Level 1 33%
    - Level 2 36%
    - Level 3 39%
    - Level 4 42%
    - Level 5 45%
    - Level 6 48%
    - Level 7 51%
    - Level 8 54%
    - Level 9 57%
    - Level 10 60%

Cores

It seems that many are using the passive stat cores to the exclusion of all others. To encourage diverity in core use, we've adjusted pricing and potency of the cores

Achievements

To reward those who have gone above and beyond in the Gifting off-season to share codes with their fellow players, we've added new tiers to the Code Crafter achievement. If after launch your achievement is "stuck" at an old tier, you can either share a new code wait for an manual update to properly set your achievement.

- Grand Leg. Code Crafter 30000 Code Redeems 7000 RP
