| v1.31e - Improvements | 2022-07-31 | Spells: Starfall Cast range: 0 (melee) -> 400 Developer comment: We believe the skill can have much more potential as a ranged skill. Telekinesis Now change unit color to indicates push effect. Developer comment: This makes it much easier to see which units have been affected by telekinesis. Fire Bomb Energy cost: 100 -> 80 Poison Bomb Energy cost: 100 -> 80 Developer comment: The cost of the skill was too high for what the effect provides. Void Ray Energy cost: 300 -> 350 Developer comment: Void Ray has one of the highest damage potentials in the game, we believe that increasing its energy cost makes its use of the skill more limited.
