How the changes impact gameplay
You'll notice these buffs and nerfs reshape your forging strategy right away. That means you'll have to optimize armor stacking and boss prep before tackling tougher encounters.
Specifically, you will have to rely less on single powerful traits. Instead, lean into Uranium stacking across all armor pieces for cumulative damage boosts - you can hit 3.6% total now.
Test Life Steal sparingly since healing caps limit its value in boss runs. Prioritize group play for the beefier bosses, as solo M1 attacks feel punishing with the doubled HP and shorter timer.
However, the nerfs hit the ore economy the hardest. Make sure to stockpile before pushing Frostpire Expanse bosses. Expect 2-3 taps from their amped damage even in solid gear. No direct rewards table exists yet, but tougher bosses may yield better essences indirectly; farm strategically to offset multiplier losses.
