Fungrades 2024 - 1.2.0 - Zombie Balance, Infection Changes, Stat strength moved into Yin Yang's from Upgrades.
- Notes -
This update is focused on moving the power of infection and its relevant builds ( On-Hit Power, Mutation, Plague ) into Yin Yang's .
Along with this change, the strength of both Damage & Health from upgrades have also been moved into Yin Yang's ( Keeping Damage & Health Builds viable )
Zombies currently have an insanely high win rate across 90% of the maps played, ( even with the new zombie selection feature which will select based on skill ) zombies are still having a little bit of an easy time. Due to this, higher skilled players are also having little chance of becoming a zombie on the majority of maps ( along with the fact everyone pressing F2 ).
As Yin Yang's feel slightly underwhelming at the moment, several Yin Yang's have had their overall power has now been made far more stronger than previous. They have also been given scaling de-buffs making them viable at all levels.
Although the Zombie infection upgrade is receiving a nerf from upgrades, survivor armour no longer completely prevents infection. Having armour now increases your infection protection chance by 2x. Ultimately, if survivors still decide against upgrading infection protection, zombie infection builds will now be far more deadly.
Similar to infection, armour now reduces the attackers bleed chance by 50%
** FYI: Changes below that include 'Base' refers to the additional ( or negative ) stat provided at level 1 included for both Yin Yang's & Perks.

Infection now provides additional experience when a survivor turns from your infection.
Paralyze Yin Yang removed and replaced with the new Reckless Yin Yang.

For simplicity and easy understanding for all. Infection and Infection Protection now works with Armour(2x Infection Protection) for all interactions. Plague chance re-buffed to 100% from upgrades ( from 50% ).
Bleed stacks now reduce Life steal effectiveness ( Revitaliser, Bloodthirster, Vampire )
