Evolve Stage 2 Patch 2.11

Update 2.10 – Behemoth is Back

• Quick run down of his changes below:
  • New Passive: Living Fortress
    • Behemoth will gain stacks of damage resistance after a certain damage threshold.
    • Each stack lasts for a short time. The main goal of this is to block burst damage during combat.
    • As Behemoth gains stacks, his armor will start glowing brighter to inform players he is taking less damage.
    • Current tuning:
      • +75 Direct Damage to apply a stack.
      • 4% Damage Reduction applied per stack.
      • Stacks will expire after 4 seconds.
      • Stacks max out at 10.
  • Traversal: Rocky Roll
    • Maneuverability has been increased dramatically to give Bob more control.
    • No longer blocked by wildlife.
    • Can quickly change directions while in the roll.
    • Gravity has also been increased while inside the roll.
    • No longer grants 50% damage reduction while inside the roll.
  • Rockwall
    • The ability has undergone a complete code refactor to assure it will properly work when cast near Hunters.
    • Slabs will always spawn at the cursor’s location when casted.
    • Minimum cast range was decreased to allow closer casts of the Rockwall.
  • Fissure
    • Improved consistency when cast near cliffs and hills.
  • Lavabomb
    • Behemoth is now able to aim the ability until it is casted.
      • (Similar to how Goliath can aim rock throw)
  • Tongue Grab
    • Improved overall consistency with the ability.
    • Targets within the visual effect will be grabbed unless a major portion of the target is blocked by geometry.
    • Visual effect will light up when a viable target is inside the effect radius.
    • Keep in mind Tongue grab has a travel time.

• If you have not played a tutorial, this is now forced before playing a multiplayer match.
  • Note: If you have not played a Co-op vs AI match there is now a 3,000 Silver Key reward for completing one match in Co-op vs AI.
