Released: 2016.05.23

## Hero Changes

1. First of all, we’d like to thank everyone for all your suggestions and feedback. Your input is what keeps this game moving forward. The current adjustments to battle tempo have had a proportionally large effect on tanks. Therefore, we’ve tweaked resistance formulas, slightly increasing their effectiveness. We’ve also increased resistance for late-game defensive equipment slightly.
2. Jacob: Buffed all magic resistance from his skills.
3. Merlynn: Changed the way her summoned creatures behave, greatly decreased the effect that AoE damage has on them, and also increased the damage of Merlynn’s Magic Strike skill.
4. Rams:
	* Scarab Rush: Spends 20% of current health & summons at least 2 Scarabs to the fight, adding 1 more for every 20% of health lost by Rams for up to 5 Scarabs total.
	* Sandstone Wall: Increased shield effect and lengthened duration to 15 seconds.
5. Mira: Changed the mechanism for Armor Pen Bullet. Now it will target the most severely injured enemy, dealing damage and a continuous burning effect.
6. Ruby:
	* Ion Canon: Ion Cannon will shoot out a laser beam, dealing damage to targets in a straight line.
	* Booster Shot: Lowered the chance of getting interrupted as Ruby returns to his original location.
7. Pulan: The skill he casts at the start of battle now has a chance of interrupting the skill that the target enemy was about to cast instead of just delaying the enemy from casting his/her skill.
8. Emily: Emily is making rapid progress in her engineering studies and just can’t wait to test out her new inventions.
	* Energy Core - Summons a mechanical monster which causes magic dmg and stun to enemies near the target, also dealing unstable, continuous damage to nearby enemies.
	* Energy Beam - Fires a laser at a single enemy, dealing magic damage.
	* Energy Cast - Deals magic damage to enemies in a fan-shaped area in front of her.
	* Tech Leap - Upgrades her weapon so that Energy Beam deals stun to targets.
9. Jolie: Increased the area of effect in Tower Defense mode for her ultimate Trick Shot.
