Shield Spell and Skill Tree Improvements

Countless Army · published 4 Jun 2025, 15:22 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Today I’m sharing some of the tweaks I’m making while working on the overall game balance.

Shield Spell


First, the shield spell is getting an adjustment: instead of being a permanent shield, it will now last for 5 seconds. To compensate, the cooldown (CD) will be reduced from 40 to 20 seconds. These times are still subject to change as I continue testing.

This will make the spell much more strategic, rather than something you just use every time the cooldown resets.

Skill Tree Selection


Several people (unfortunately I don’t have their names noted) suggested it would be better if selected upgrades in the skill tree were marked with a circle to make them clearer. After trying different styles, here’s how it will look in the next update:

I hope you like these changes. See you next week with more updates!
