Bug fixes / Changes:
- Description for Darkeater’s Impaler reads 3 turns instead of 2.
- Descriptions for Ninja Reflexes and Deflection Shield read 50% max block/deflection chance instead of 30%.
- Description for Dualism reads 100% damage instead of 110% (105% AOE).
- Azrael’s Annihilation is sometimes applying the debuff to the user for 2 turns instead of 1. The skill is now tracked via turns instead of rounds so in a 1v1 each player has a chance to react or retaliate. This also helps balance the skill in Juggernaut and 2v2 since the debuff will expire before a character can be attacked twice. This was a unique problem because it was the first skill ever to apply a debuff to both the target and attacker in the same turn.
- Azrael's Doombringer Beauty P/E (NPC): NPC version with a maximum HP drain/gain of 200 and 6 turn cooldown. Added to level 56 and 57 of the Basic Battlepass. Those who already claimed those levels of prizes will receive the bot manually.
- All seasonal robots will now have a permanently available version for Varium-only while the seasonally available one will have a Credit option.
