Balance Update: Meta Reset! (Art of War 3 RTS)

Commanders! The battlefield is shifting. This balance update is here to shake up strategies and change the way the game is played.

Grenadier
• Upgraded damage increased to 30%.

Heavy Assault
• Upgraded damage increased to 15%.

At higher ranks, infantry was falling behind, almost disappearing from the Star and Diamond Leagues. We're upgrading level 2 Infantry to make it a stronger, more attractive option for top-level commanders.

Sniper
• Production cost reduced from 64 to 58 resources.
• Base damage vs. armor I type increased by 20%.

Sniper was intended to be deadly against infantry, but its low damage and high cost hindered its effectiveness. With these changes, Sniper is ready to reclaim its place in the Resistance army.

Resistance Infantry
• Vision penalty in forests reduced from -2 to -1 cells.

Resistance specializes in ambush tactics, hiding infantry in forests. But the heavy vision penalty made scouting and traps too limited—especially at lower ranks. This tweak makes stealth tactics more effective than ever.

Cyclone and Dragonfly
• Upgraded durability increased by 15%.

Dragonfly
• Machine gun damage vs. armor I type increased by 20%.

Helicopters lost popularity after earlier nerfs, especially in the Star League. Higher durability should bring them back into the fight. Dragonfly now hits harder, highlighting its role as a light attack chopper compared to the scout Cyclone.

Energy Shield
• The energy field will no longer protect Energy Shield itself.

Energy Shield was much tougher to destroy than Chameleon, with almost no reliable counters. The old ""Energy Shield on, double-tap forward"" trick is no longer available.

Note: Two Energy Shield units can still cover each other—use them smartly.

Armadillo
• Upgraded autocannon damage vs. armor III increased by 7% (from Rank 19).

This all-purpose war machine also struggled in Diamond and Star Leagues. The buff makes it more dangerous against buildings, Zeus, and even Solaris.
