Quick take
Players can now purchase 1 Riven Slot for 20 Platinum (instead of 3 for 60). Previously, players could only purchase Riven Slots in bundles of 3. The 3 Riven Slot bundle has been removed and replaced with the single purchase option.
- Following a Nightwave issue last year , affected players received an extra Riven Slot, which meant they were prevented from reaching the Riven Slot cap. Now, players can purchase Riven Slots in whatever number they desire (unless that number exceeds the cap).
- Excavators and Defense Objectives (ex: Mobile Defense terminals, Defense Targets, etc.) now have a 90% damage reduction against Blitz Eximus shockwave attacks. Defense Objectives now also benefit from shieldgating (like Excavators, which received this change with The Shadowgrapher).
- Entropic Eximus can no longer spawn as Helions, as their flying behaviour can make them difficult to target with melee weapons.
