Warside – Update 1.5

This update is all about fine-tuning the battlefield: smoothing out difficulty spikes, refreshing underused strategies, and laying the groundwork for a more balanced Warside experience. We've taken a close look at how players are approaching units and Battle Powers across all game modes, and have made a number of adjustments aimed at encouraging more diverse play. We're also aiming to make a wider variety of playstyles viable in multiplayer games.

Unit Changes

Medic & Sniper: Both units see reduced deployment costs, making support and precision more accessible.
Blightguard: Now boasts increased mobility and defense with reduced deployment costs.
Boomtruck: Reduced deployment costs and now featuring splash damage with devastating area-of-effect potential.
Flametank: Lower deployment costs and improved defenses make these units more reliable investments.
Anti-Air: Cost decreased and base defense increased.
Attack Heli: Adjusted damage values to ensure balance across multiple matchups.
Icefang: Now features piercing attacks that strike beyond the initial target, decreased cost, and balanced base damage.
Frigate: Gains a powerful new alternate attack that allows it to target helicopters.

Battle Powers

Battle Powers now require 10% more charge with each use. This compounding cost ensures that timing and resource management are more critical than ever.

Quality-of-Life Enhancements

Combat clarity gets a boost; ranged units now provide a subtle visual "nudge" on the map when firing, making it easier for players to track attacks in real time.
