EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

May 08, 2020

Prepare for the latest Springtime creation, forged from blueprints form a realm far beyond Delta V, the Bunnmaykr bazooka!  Also, to keep battles interesting, there's a bounty of balance changes covering many classes with some big skill revamps!

Bunnmaykr

Visit Nightwraith in the Wasteland to check out the 2 new and improved Bunny-zookas, complete with a pre-equipped Shell-Shocker core. These weapons are tagged as rare (for real this time) and will leave in about a month!

• Bunnmaykr
• Dark Bunnmaykr

Balance

Multiple skills have been overhauled to improve build viability for all classes. First strike calculation has also been tweaked. RNG still plays a part in determining the first attacker, but the weight of Support has been more heavily weighted.

• Fireball:
  • Inflicts a debuff that reduces Defense/Resistance by 15%
  • Dexterity requirement corrected so the base is 19, increasing by 3 per level
  • Improves with Dexterity
  • Energy cost = 90 at level 1, increasing by 15 with each level
• Static Grenade:
  • Inflicts 50% primary damage
  • Drains energy
  • Absorbs 90% of energy drained
• Frenzy:
  • 2 turn warmup
  • 50 flat Energy cost
• Reflex Boost (Blood Mage)
  • Becomes "Blood Instinct"
  • Spend 90 HP to increase Dexterity
• Barbed Grenade:
  • Increased cost by 20 per level
  • Improves with every .4 Support instead of .35
• Field Medic:
  • (Cyber Hunter and Tactical Mercenary) 4 turn cooldown
• Increased weight on Support for First Strike to decrease likelihood that lower Support will start first.
