Balancing:

• All Monsters – Minor maintenance and improvements
  • There is now a cooldown after a stealth pounce
  • All monsters can see recent damage on their health bar to help make burst damage visible.
• Kraken – Fixing some flight edge cases that were causing inconsistencies making him too powerful or too weak depending on the situation.
  • Vortex
    • Cooldown increased by one second.
    • Reduced knockback magnitude.
  • Tranq Darts, Stasis Grenades and Harpoons pull Kraken down at a consistent rate regardless of whether he is in combat or out of combat. (they used to stack outside of combat)
  • Kraken’s flight speed is no longer slowed by Tranqs and Stasis grenades since they pull him to the ground where running speed is affected.
  • Fixed a bug that was causing Aftershock to not break harpoon traps or Arc Mines.
  • Fixed bug that prevented Kraken from getting pulled down while flying in any direction
• Wraith – Making her movement speed less bursty which makes her easier to keep track of. Making Supernova less lethal while still allowing it to be just as powerful. Making Warp Blast a damage dealer instead of a traversal mechanic.
  • Warp speed reduced 25%
  • Supernova duration decreased by 50%
