Ix the Interloper Thanks to all the feedback from the forums and the feedback from the beta brawl, this iteration of Ix has a lot of changes. Their damage on AA has been toned down slightly while Refract got some overall buffs. The lifesteal upgrade has been reduced in effectiveness as most might have expected. Movement on Ix is still good, but their floating ability is a bit less crazy this time around. Also some upgrade replacements came through that you can check out. Of course, various bugs relating to Displacing and Psionic Bond were also fixed.
