Corpses
Corpses are now slightly less effective when it comes to rewards, but playing around them is more consistent.
Corpse generation
- Corpse generation has been rebalanced %-wise to serve its original purpose better as a catch-up mechanic for tough nights (or risk-reward strategy for experienced players): emphasizing stacking enemies close to the haven for better results, while still being controlled on our part in terms of maximum quantities per night.
- Elite Carrion generation % is now based of the Elite’s dangerousness: the scarier an Elite is the easier it will be to get an Elite Carrion.

Maps & Bosses

- Slightly increased night length of Night 6
Lakeburg
- Slightly increased enemy quantity of Nights 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11
- Slightly increased night length of Nights 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11
- Greatly reduced enemy quantity of Night 12
- Reduced Health and Armor values on Boss and their minions
Glenwald
- Slightly increased enemy quantities of Nights 6, 7, 8 and 9
- Slightly reduced enemy quantity of Night 10
Elderlicht
- Slightly decreased enemy quantities of Nights 1 and 14

Omen of Supplies

Omen of the Siege
- Bonus damage for defenses: +25% -> +20%
Omen of the Trapper
- Reduced damage on Damage Trap’s secondary tiles
Omen of the Engineer
- Reduced damage on Ballista’s and Mounted Ballista’s secondary tile
- Reduced damage on Catapult’s secondary tiles
BUG FIXES
- Fixed the Defensive Training Perk granting way more XP than intended: it was always supposed to only grant the "Killer XP bonus" (additional 30% of the enemy's XP value) to the Hero as if they were the one killing it (since the base 100% of the XP is already accounted for in the Shared XP for defenses kills, just like any kill), but instead was granting them a whole additional 100%...
- Added a safety to prevent infinite night because of an enemy that couldn't spawn
- Fixed Blockers staying in the mist, stuck to a corpse or a barricade
- Fixed weird interaction between Human Ballista perk and Vampire perk
- Fixed the contagion alteration not spreading in specific cases
- Added a safety to prevent players to play the next production phase after beating the boss (instead of winning the run)
- Fixed heroes turning red when attacking a mirror elite enemy
- Set the maximum value for the UI scale slider setting to 120% instead of 100% when playing on smaller resolutions
- Fixed exiting construction menu when right clicking to cancel the preview of a building
