Corrupted Doom/Timeless Destiny Epoch have received some changes as well:

• Each point of Momentum now gives +5 Crit (max +45).
  
• Aim Boost Overload effect now also provides +75 Crit
  
• Boost Hex Overload effect increased to -70 Boost/Crit, up from -66 Boost.

• Timeshift CD reduced to 20 from 24.

Dragonbyte/Lament Epoch have received a bit of a rework. The distribution of their double turns has change significantly, exchanging direct upfront double turns for a more dynamic playstyle.

Dragonbyte/Lament now receive double turns from the following sources:

• +1 At the start of combat
  
• +1 from Ultra Boost
  
• +1 from Fade
  
• +1 from Ultra Hex
  
• +1 from Combo 3
  
• +1 from Hack
  
• +2 from Overdrive

Although you can only perform on double turn each turn, extra double turns will be kept and used on subsequent turns. For example, if you use Fade, you will instantly use its double turn. If you then use Hack on that second turn, your next turn will be double.

Additionally, for Dragonbyte/Lament, the following adjustments have been made:

• Ultra Boost cooldown reduced to 14, down from 19.
  
• Ultra Hex cooldown reduced to 14, down from 19.
  
• Fade now lasts for 2 turns.

• Gunburst cooldown to 1, down from 3.
  
• Hack cooldown increased to 14, up from 11, base damage increased to 4 x 75% (300%), up from 4 x 71.25% (285%).
