Update history
- Damage reduced from 45 to 40
- This is to address the "one-shotting" of our fellow Striders, an unintentional result in Patch 2.7.0 when we tuned their health.
- You can charge your heavy melee attack when sprinting again, setting you once more on a warpath to unbridled mayhem and fury
- You can sprint while charging a melee attack
- Your sprinting speed is however reduced while charging a melee attack
- Improved general fluidity and responsiveness of the heavy melee strike, so delivering very hard head bonks should be a smoother experience
