6. ⚖️ Balance Adjustments: Mitigating Extremes and Improving Player Experience
· Patch 1 has improved overall balance by adjusting elements with extreme performance.
· For instance, the Thorns build has been adjusted to no longer function like auto-battling; it's now based on damage taken and applies damage reduction.
