Patch Notes 1.4.78 [Advanced Server] 05/14/20. From The Designers: In this update, we've made adjustments regarding the solo fighting ability of some of the tank heroes. And we've also lowered the price of defense equipment items. With these new adjustments, we hope tank heroes could do more things than just soaking damage and providing control. We want them to have a certain degree of farming ability, as well as damage-dealing capability so that they can pose more threats when they are geared. We'll keep an eye on how this shakes out and make further adjustments accordingly. In the meantime, we are also considering the role adjustments for some of the tank heroes. Please stay tuned, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
