Developers of the third-person MOBA game Fault launched a new update that reworks the Raptor System. Patch 0.16.3 brings some balancing adjustments as well.
Raptor System Rework
The dev team reworked the Raptor System in Fault after community feedback. Apparently, the players felt that taking raptors was unrewarding compared to other objectives on the map. Because of this, it received some significant changes.
First, the Favor granted per raptor has been reduced to one. Next, a new Prime Raptor spawns at the 30-minute mark, and it grants the Power of the Ancients buff when killed.
This buff gives players the ability to deal damage over time to any enemy or neutral unit they attack (excluding structures) for 180 seconds. The overall damage dealt by this DoT is increased for every raptor slain by the team.
The other changes to the Raptor System include:
- Spawn times adjusted to 6 minutes.
- 1st: 6% Bonus Physical and Energy Power.
- 2nd: Deal 15% additional True Damage to enemy structures and large and epic monsters.
- 3rd: Gain 6% Out-of-Combat Movement Speed, increase Fountain Regeneration by 100%.
- 4th: Gain 6% Lifesteal and SpellVamp, increase Outgoing Heals and Shields by 15%.
- 5 favor per Apex Slain.
Patch 0.16.3 also has balancing adjustments. For instance, all heroes in Fault now have a slight increase in movement speed. The rest of the changes can be seen below:
