Balancing

  • Hokuto Bow can no longer be affected by the Ammo x2 mutation.

  • Community suggestion Kunai Master can no longer turn over during its attack sequence.
  • Owl attacks now break the hero invisibility.

  • Added diminishing returns limit to Sismic Strike root effect.
  • Shield bearer enemy is no longer stopped by cute worms or turrets when charging.
