- Early aggression is still going strong, but all hail the triumphant return of the cannon stack.

- To the surprise of many, Hurricane held the highest winrate of Season 40 at 56%, while Moonshine held the lowest at 40%.

- Also defying expectations, Overdrive barely reached the middle of the pack, tying for 9th place with Shockenaugh as both were only at 47%.

- While alternating portals and doors to create towers of doom seems to be a growing meta, fortune still favored those bold enough to sacrifice a mine for swarms in order to counter as even Moonshine struggled overall.

- OD's modest performance wasn't enough to completely evade the nerf stick as downgrading time and resource recovery were both adjusted as we enter Season 41.

We're beavering away on the Firebird DLC, so this update is smaller than usual. It mostly includes important fixes, especially to population cap handling and portals. There's also a couple of new scripting functions for modders and a minor balance change to Overdrive.

Cheers,
EWG

Add: Script function to apply damage directly to a strut (dlc2_ApplyDamageToLink)
Add: Script function to get selected node (GetLocalSelectedNodeId)

Balance: (Overdrive) Increase downgrade duration from 4 to 6 seconds (+50%)
Balance: (Overdrive) Reduce downgrade refund from 100% to 75% (-25%)

Improve: (Sever & Seize) Clarify Buzzsaw reflection objective
Improve: Allow \\test_effects to work when there's no Lua file for that path (sound only events)

Fix: Auto conversion to back bracing cancels fast sell off
Fix: Beams are not occluded correctly when intersecting overlapping smoke
Fix: Converting background bracing to a door prevents firing
