  • Engineers are working to make sure the warfront has less ties. No exact ETA, but ‘soon’.
  • Line of sight blocks will be added to the final room’s defender starting area.
  • Cannons will respect line of sight; no longer able to shoot through walls.
  • ‘Personal Defense Shield’ mechanic is being added to the map that gives you a 30sec immunity to the Cannons’ AoE abilities (ST still hits you), but reduces your outgoing damage/healing by 90% and incoming heals by 90%.
