Flash Zip Overhaul

  • Doom bonus damage resets with each new Titan spawn.

Fairy Video Reward Overhauls:

  • Three new fairy video reward types:
  • Gold Cost Reduction: Reduces all gold costs for a limited amount of time (only shown if the effect is more valuable than a video gold fairy).

  • Mana Potion: Restores mana equal to 25% of your mana capacity (2min cooldown between spawns).

Balancing Efforts in V.2.8.0

Portar Balancing:

  • Now only spawns as a Boss Titan and cannot spawn when first starting the game or when using the “Fight Boss” button.
  • Portar drops boss gold from the stage it skips you to, instead of the current stage you were on.
  • Stages gained from splash through boss attacks now combine with stages skipped from Portar (can skip more than +50 stages)
  • Splash through boss attack calculations start on the stage that Portar skips you to (splash gold will be greater now).
  • Added a 4s cooldown between subsequent Portar spawns.

Lightning Strike Balancing:

  • Balanced to do more damage up-front, but damage dealt no longer exponentially blows up over time.
  • Each upgrade level increases Titan Health Reduction and Damage Efficiency of subsequent strikes.
  • Additional strikes against the same Titan will do reduced damage as per the Damage Efficiency value.
  • Chance to trigger a strike now fixed at 2% for all upgrade levels.

General Balancing

  • Shadow Clone gets stronger bonus from Deadly Strike (exponent increased from 0.5 to 0.6).
  • Non-video fairy gold now stronger but also has much higher variance per drop.
  • Coordinated Offensive can be reactivated before the previous instance finishes at higher upgrade levels.
