Update 2.0.0.3

This update primarily focuses on Centurion and the Star Expedition mode. We are taking a more cautious approach to the balance of Standard Versus, so further Standard Versus-related changes will be gradually implemented after we have collected and analyzed sufficient data.

Standard Versus - Balance Adjustments

Centurion

• HP: 15000 → 16500 (+10%)
• ATK: 1500 → 1395 (-7%)

Adjustments:

• Missile count: 4 → 2
• Missile damage: 800 → 2000
• Splash Radius: 7 → 5
• Scatter Radius: 20 → 0 (More stable performance, but overall clustered-unit-clearing ability is reduced)
• Minimum Attack Range: 60 → 45
• Attack targets: Can now attack Aerial Units
• Cost: 200 → 250

Developer's Note: After the buff in the previous patch, the Centurion's pick rate increased significantly, and its overall performance has slightly exceeded our expectations. In this update, we tweaked its stats — slightly sacrificing its base attack in exchange for further improving its survivability, allowing it to occasionally serve as a frontline tank. Furthermore, we reworked . The adjusted missiles have a reduced Splash Radius and significantly increased single-target damage, which means its efficiency in clearing clustered units will decrease, thereby limiting the viability of mass Centurion strategy. As compensation, this Tech has now gained anti-air capabilities, allowing the Centurion to retain some anti-air presence even in Melee Mode.
