by imharrysmhThe Tryhard bot is back!
Which may not sound like something to celebrate about, if you were around during the first one. This one, however, is rarer (0.1% chance on kill), more balanced, and comes with very cool rewards!
Rewards include Megacoins, runes, uberdrops, and a couple of new items, which I won’t spoil.
More lobbies are here!
The lobby count has been increased from 2 to 5, to improve lag and general game playability. Players will (ideally) be balanced between them fairly equally, but there might be some kinks until more tests have been performed.
There is currently a 30 second cooldown between lobby switch attempts. The idea is that this should be reduced/removed soon, so just bare with us on this part.
Other General Gameplay Changes:
-
2 New Perks!
- Egg Bomber, for Easter: Kills have a 1/2/4% chance to drop an Egg Bomb, dealing 4 hearts of damage to all nearby bots. Damage is multiplied by 1.5x during April.
- Serenity: Go invisible for 2/4/6 seconds when blocking without being hit for 1.5s. Invincible while invisible. Lose invisibility when you hit someone!
-
2 New Runes!
- Double Cross Rune: Provides immunity from Crossbow. Legendary only. --- I was a little torn on this one. Crossbow tends to be a love-or-hate thing. But if you hate it enough, you can now use a rune slot to block it.
- Breakthrough Rune: Your hits have a 1/2/3/6% chance of removing your enemy’s Resistance and prevent them from getting it for 5s.
