Wait wait wait wait.
I * swear * I saw patch notes last year that said they were removing all e-war / neuting from all battleships in Abyss space; changing them to pure damage dealers. (I still refuse to run abyss sites once I hit 4 starving leshaks in a level 3 - reward was disgustingly below the risk.) Or maybe it was just Leshaks that were supposed to be altered.
I can’t find those patch notes now. Can anyone help me find what I may have seen and now be mis-remembering?
