Fire up your Steam client to get the latest patch to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. The free 1.6 update paves the way for the DLC coming soon (teaser above, click the pic for the full-size version) and offers a little something for everyone.

In Legendary Heroes 1.6, champions get access to some new abilities (Dragon Born, Master Archer, Death Blow), many of the late-game champions get significant boosts to make it a little less disappointing when Gallowman doesn’t offer to join your cause, and modders now have some additional tools for creating abilities of their own.

As always, a raft of balance tweaks and bug fixes are folded into the patch as well.

See below for the full changelog, and happy conquering!

Features

+ Added the Death Blow ability: +40 attack vs opponents with fewer than 20 hit points.

+ Added the Master Archer ability: +25 crit chance when using a bow.

+ Added the Dragon Born ability: +1 fire attack / level.

+ Added the ability to have conditional stats that aren’t comparative (it doesn’t need to have a higher stat that the unit, it can just be set to be applied if the enemy has an attack higher than a fixed amount). (for modders)

+ Added the ability to have these conditional modifiers based on either the attacker’s or the target’s unit stats. (ie: Master Archer is based on the unit having UnitStat_IsBow value that all bows give, Death Blow is based on the target having less than 20 hit points). (for modders)

+ Added a new Chosen Amarian trainable unit (Pariden needed more units in their magic tree).
