Game Modes

Double Up

The Double Up mode are adjusted to mitigate the tanky stall and high DPS carry comps meta. The Tanky player would transfer every item to the DPS player and before the former loses, the latter would win the battle and join the partner's arena to make the battle 2v1, and eventually emerge victorious.

The adjustments made to Double Up mode are as follows:

• Rune of Allegiances Items now pop off of units before the unit is sent to your partner.
• Rune of Allegiances is no longer granted at stages 4-3 and 6-1.
• The Lesser Rune of Allegiance now regenerates itself 5 rounds after you use it.
• After 4-1, your Lesser Rune of Allegiance upgrades to a Rune of Allegiance, and now regenerates itself 7 rounds after you use it.
• Gift Armories now offer an additional gift of the highest tier that the gift armory offers.
• Gift Armories chance at seeing the highest tier of gifts in the second gift armory reduced from 20% to 14%.

Hyper Roll

• Hyper Roll carousels take half as long, and release the bottom half of the lobby followed by the top half.

Bug fixes

• Sharing is caring: Mecha PRIME fixed a bug where 5 Mech was lower HP share than 3 Mech
