Hello everyone, patch 0.7.3 is live on steam!
There is a summary in video on youtube. Below is the full patch note.
New Mothership: Zel’Hactl
Auto Attack:
Deals extra damage equivalent to 1% of the target’s remaining life.
Passive: Steel Lust
Each auto-attack fills Zel’Hactl’s Steel Lust gauge (1% for a creep, 2% for a tower, and 3% for a mothership). When the gauge is full, Zel’Hactl enters into Fury Mode for 5 seconds and increases its Fury Counter by 1. Fury Mode lasts for 5 seconds and doubles the auto-attack damage. The Fury Counter can’t exceed 10.
Ultimate: Darksteel fury
Instantaneously begin a warp to the enemy mothership. Upon arrival, Zel’Hactl enters into Fury Mode for 5 seconds and receives an additional auto-attack damage increase (multiplier = 1 + Fury counter²/10).
Darksteel fury cooldown is 40s.
New skills: Electro
Shocker: Releases a lightning bolt in the targeted direction, dealing 20+25*Level damage to enemies.
Special effect: Disables the enemy unit’s firing system and skills for 1+0.1*Level seconds.
Thunder orbs: Deals 20+20*Level damage in a cone.
Special effect: Reduces the enemy’s range of their next auto-attack by (3.5*Level)%.
Storm Cloud: Creates an electrical storm around the mothership for 1+0.25*Level seconds. Enemies inside the storm take 10+3*Level damage per second.
Special effect: Overloads the enemy’s weapon system, causing their next attack to also inflict (25+1*Level)% damage to itself.
Spark Blast: Fires a projectile at target location that releases a dome of static electricity upon impact. Every enemy unit inside the deployed dome will have their shield reduced by (25+3*Level)%. The dome stays active for 2+0.25*Level seconds.
Special effect: Spark Blast consumes marks from enemy units and steals shield points. The stolen points are used to regenerate the mothership’s shield.
Overdrive: Increases the mothership’s movement speed by (5*Level)% for 2+0.3*Level seconds. Activating Overdrive will also generate a wave to apply marks.
Special effect: Enemy units that have their marks consumed in the wave will take 0.06% damage on their hull per unit of movement during Overdrive.
Ghost: The mothership cloaks itself, leaving a ghost that resumes the mothership’s last actions. While cloaked, the mothership can move and warp freely. It will reveal itself if it attacks or uses a skill. The skill and the ghost stay active for 5*Level seconds. The ghost inflicts 1+0.25*Level damage per second and possesses as much shield and hull as the original mothership when the ghost spawns. However, it takes double damage.
Special effect: Adds a damage bonus of (20+2*level)% on the mothership’s next use of a skill and reduces the ghost’s cooldown by 75%.
Planet
Ring: The first ring is free. The following rings cost: 90 (ring 2) / 135 (ring 3) / 202 (ring 4) / 303 (ring 5) / 455 (ring 6) / 683 (ring 7) / 1025 (ring 8) / 1537 (ring 9) / 2306 (ring 10) Ambrosium, respectively.
Strategy: The first strategy change does not have a cooldown. The cooldown formula for any other change is: Time = 10*number_of_global_strategy_changes.
Combination:
- Kinetic energy: For every 200 (formerly 1000) points of damage endured by the mothership, it gains a cumulative shield bonus of 2% (formerly 10%), and its shield regeneration is improved by 2% (formerly 0.1%). The shield bonus can reach 1.2*basic_shield_amount at maximum.
- Recycling: Bonus can reach 1.2*mothership_basic_hull_amount at maximum.
Tower
When destroying towers, you earn 200 (tower 1) / 300 (tower 2) / 400 (tower 3) Ambrosium. Towers have 200 (tower 1) / 400 (tower 2) / 800 (tower 3) shield points and 2800 (tower 1) / 4600 (tower 2) / 8200 (tower 3) hull points.
Motherships
Excalibur:
Auto attack damage has been increased from 85 to 100.
Fusion:
Movement speed has been increased from 130 units to 150.
After death, when Fusion’s passive is active, the movement speed has been increased by 50% and Fusion deals more damage (the formula changed to the following: 150*(1+%ultimatecharge)*(totalLife/remainingLife).
Wall k2:
Auto attack: Shots slow the target’s movement speed by 10% + 5% per shot and increase Wall K2’s damage by 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 points for 1.5 seconds (formerly 20% + 10% per shot and 10% damage per shot). It still stacks up to 5 times, for a maximum of 30% movement speed reduction and 15 damage points. Ultimate: Protects any spaceships in the zone, including enemies.
Spaceships
