Balance Changes

Hi Commander!

edit: these changes are now live!

We are introducing a series of balance changes to Headquarters. Here are the changes that are being implemented during a tuning release.

Transformer buff returned to original values with slight decrease in later levels

Transformer

• Level 1: 37.0% -> 40.0%
• Level 2: 42.0% -> 45.0%
• Level 3: 47.0% -> 50.0%
• Level 4: 52.0% -> 55.0%
• Level 5: 57.0% -> 60.0%
• Level 6: 62.0% -> 65.0%
• Level 7: 67.0% -> 70.0%
• Level 8: 72.0% -> 75.0%
• Level 9: 77.0% -> 80.0%
• Level 10: 82.0% -> 85.0%
• Level 11: 87.0% -> 90.0%
• Level 12: 92.0% -> 95.0%
• Level 13: 96.0% -> 98.9%
• Level 14: 96.0% -> 98.9%

Dev Notes regarding Level 13 and Level 14:

• 99% -> 98.9% results in a 9.2% reduction in a solo boosted turret’s DPS.
• Visually, WCRA shows “98%” despite the true value of 98.9%. (Players can confirm this on their own because if the value was 98%, you’d notice a massive 50% decrease in turret DPS and very old units would be able to defeat a player level 111 base which isn’t the case)
