An update to augment choices

Arena patch 1.18.9 describes reworking several augments and increasing the average number of Legendary Augments in a game. Alongside the units in a lineup, choosing how to strengthen them is part of the decision.

Consider proximity and time

Exsolve Omega Reactor was changed to draw Omega Power from the three closest allies at combat start. Charged Force Reactor starts at 20% Attack Damage and adds 5% every ten seconds. Placement and fight duration therefore matter to how these effects are read.

Values are from version 1.18.9

The announcement also changes synergies such as Air and Earth. These are values from the October 13, 2026 patch, not a claim about a current optimal build or subsequent balance. The picture is a choice screen from an earlier version, not this patch.
