BALANCE UPDATE:

Fathier Rider - Increased damage vs. all targets. While the Fathier Rider already dealt high damage proportional to its unit capacity cost, players often don't get enough value from using it even with screening units and/or healers keeping the Fathier alive. This damage increase is intended to multiply the unit's strategic effectiveness without making it overpowered in all situations.

Keeping Everyone Informed...

The newly buffed fathier, might just save the game.

[Schruaf]

Buffed fathier - now dies even faster )

[Euph]

The fathier needs a unit cap reduction more than it needs a damage buff IMO, but I guess we'll see how it goes. They have managed to salvage worthless units in the past with some attention - twileks, shocks, MTVs.. Kessen. :/

Nothing to play for here on my main, but my secondary could use the ability to build AvAs, so I'll be doing that event at least.

Thanks for the heads up, DS.

[DeathStriker]

Thanks for the heads up, DS.

Your Welcome... but most of the work is done by our Data Miners.

EVERYONE: I updated Main Topic Post with more info / links.

⇨ NOTE Changed Objectives / Chapter Objectives

⇨ NOTE New Elite Crate EP Requirements.

[Euph]

..and they managed to make the crates even worse value. A tiny reduction in EP - not enough to change the number of attacks per crate - and in return minus 1 reward, from 5 to 4.

Oy.

[Boog]

The EP reduction for the bonus crates is nice. 700 can be had with four hundos and an hd win. Before, you'd be 10 short, and would have to make that up with a daily crate or another attack.

[JardDooku]

I was looking forward for this!

[RockRobot80]

I am super excited for this!

[Jaykoz3]

Nice, I can finally unlock the AVA!
