Next week we will complete our long journey of implementing skill augments (144 new skills in total) with debuff augments, which will feature some of the most consequential (and challenging to build) new skills!

Balance Changes:

Rejoice! This release comes with balance changes to the promotional package cores, and this time, they are actually buffs! How fortuitously on-theme!

Gamma Guts (Armor) (Active): Gain 100 HP -> Gain 300 HP
Gamma Parrot Mimic P/E : 85% damage -> 100% damage
Gamma Rage (Primary): +2 Strength
Gamma Rage (Sidearm): +2 Dexterity
Gamma Rage (Aux): +2 Support
EA Medic: Medical Mastery only applies to the initial heal and no longer applies to the subsequent heals.

Bug Fixes:

EA Double Strike: Correctly reduces Defense/Resistance instead of increasing it.
Health reduction skills like Sea Kings Corruption, Shell Shocker, Hatchling Rush, and (UA) Crippling Strike affect heal over time on the healing ticks after the initial heal. This was challenging to fix because the heal reduction would fail inconsistently depending on turn order and other currently active skills.
