Steampunk Frontier

The developer has noticed that Titans are too effective against enemies hidden indoors but pretty underwhelming in open areas. To strike a better balance, their mechanics and damage have been adjusted to make them weaker indoors and stronger out in the open.

Here are the changes made in the mode:

Increased the base damage of the wind generated by Titan's melee attack.
Decreased the wind damage of Titan's melee attack after the gust passed through an obstacle.
