Drone HP Scaling: Increased scaling factor and fixed the application based on TL;
Drone Speed: Now determined by drone type instead of TL - The slowest drones are now significantly faster, while the fastest drones are slightly slower;
Travel Ranges: Fixed outliers that did not conform to existing standards;
Ammo Capacity: Adjusted across drones to bring total damage potential closer to the average (generally increased);
Weapon Range: Increased to improve reticle closure;
Damage Adjustments:
- Drones will now display the true damage they deal;
- Single-target drones: Up to +30% damage increase;
- Rocket drones: 10% damage reduction;
- Raygun drones:
  - DoT duration reduced 12s → 8s;
  - Base damage 3% damage increase;
- Ion HEW & TA Damage Types: Now standardized to 50/50 split;

Nanite Rebalance

Reworked resist nanites to reduce Spy durability and encourage an ambush/hit-and-run playstyle.

Nanite Change Summary

Increased activity cost and reduced strength, forcing trade-offs between resist strength vs healing uptime;
Each cycle allows 10 injections, which must be split between resists or healing;
Example splits:
- (Previously: 35% resist → 50% heal uptime);
- High resist / short healing (9 resist shots, 1 heal shot)
  - Avg 30% resist → 17% heal uptime;
- Medium resist / medium healing (6 resist shots, 4 heal shot)
  - Avg 20% resist → 67% heal uptime;
- Alternative: Using PSI healing allows for greater healing uptime but compromises stealth effectiveness;

Nanite Adjustments

Heal Nanites:
- Reduced nanite activity 15 → 12;
Mixed Nanites:
- Typical strength reduced 18% → 10% per damage type per shot;
- Nanite activity increased 10 → 12;
- Duration reduced 240s → 180s;
- Clip size increased 8 → 12;
Singular Nanites:
- Typical strength reduced 33% → 24% per damage type per shot;
- Nanite activity increased 5 → 12;

Blessed PAD (PE / Hybrid Rebalance)

Increased accessibility of Blessed PAD, allowing PEs to integrate it into their base kit without major sacrifices, improving their durability. However, Blessed Heal & Crahn Resurrection will still require a PSI brain implant to maintain role balance.

Ability Unlocking

"Glove only" build → Grants Blessed PAD access;
"Glove & 1 brain slot" build → Grants Blessed PAD, Blessed Heal, Crahn Resurrection;
Self-cast bonus requirement now matches Blessed PAD requirements for both PEs & Monks
- New Req: PSI: 37 | PPU: 87 | FCS: 46 | PSU: (Removed);

Requirement Adjustments

Blessed PAD, Blessed Heal & Crahn Rez: Lowered requirements for improved PE accessibility;
PSI Gauntlets:
- Rebalanced lower-level gauntlets to support this change;
- Switched bonus PSI Use → Resist PSI on the Gaya Glove;
Blessed PAD Effectiveness: Reduced 41% → 32% to account for lower TL and reduced sacrifice;
