CoA Chapter One Balance Patch Notes (Patreon)
Content
Sally & Encounter Rate:
-Added a Level 12 skill for Sally called NICOLE: Force Field.
-Added Stealth Mode Ability and Loud Exploration Ability to Sally at level 4.
-Stealth Mode addresses the issue of random encounters being too soon. This will halve the probability of random encounters. Exp earned by battles 25%
-Loud Exploration will remove Stealth Mode and also grant Sally a 10% exp bonus.
Note: The idea behind Stealth Mode and Loud Exploration is to allow the player to choose whether to focus on battling and leveling up, or focus on exploring. I hope this helps make the game more fun!

-Increased Egg Turret's EXP earned by 100%
