Hey Server 1 players! Thank you for all your valuable feedback on The Heist! We have an update today to address some of that feedback. We also have some tips and pointers to help make your crime stopping more successful. Please try out these changes to The Heist and share your feedback so we can continue to make improvements.
Update 1.2.2
- The Heist is easier
- Reduced enemy levels by 10 across all difficulties
- Reduced enemy stars by 2 for the easiest level of Heist (and by 1 for the medium level of Heist)
- Reduced the damage the Thief does by about 20%
- Reduced the duration of the Thief’s stun to 5 seconds (down from 7 seconds)
- Movement is faster
- Doubled hero walking speed on the map
- Increased hero sprinting speed by 20% on the map
- Decreased the call for help time by 20%
- Moving around the map now consumes half as much energy
- Increased the chance of ambushes
- This may seem counter intuitive, but more ambushes give you more chances to regain energy in combat
- Also while heroes sprint to help a fight, they don’t consume energy.
Tips and Pointers
We are super curious to see or hear any advice you have for winning heists, but here is some of ours:
- Don’t start fights right away. Move heroes close to reduce the amount of time it takes for them to arrive in combat.
- Stay with the group. Keep your heroes together or near other heroes. Otherwise when they are ambushed they are likely to lose the fight.
- Search POIs. Use your energy to efficiently search POIs. The thief has to travel back to her hideout after every valuable she steals, so knowing where that is will increase your chances of finding her. Also finding the hideout quickly will increase the number of valuables you save, even if you don’t win the hideout fight.
- Feel free to set it down. Your heroes regenerate energy when they are idle, so if you need to set the heist down for a few minutes, you will come back to full heroes ready to continue the search.
- Look at Level and Hero indicator. When looking at the list of heists, you can see what level the heist is and if you have enough heroes.
- Preview Heroes. You can back out of the hero chooser and you will get your Heist Ticket back, so feel free to browse around for a heist that you can use your better heroes on.
