Variety and me (I changed my mind from 12 headshots kill and if we count the vote, it would be very sad for him) voted that it should remain 17 headshots kill (same efficiency but have headshot multiplier of 1.25x)

Rico, how many headshots kill should Champion Mercenary be in your opinion?

Here's the problem: If we buff its efficiency, players who want to counter Champion Mercenary will get upset like "WTH! CHAMPION MERCENARY 12 HEADSHOTS KILL (without booster)??!!! WHY!!!"

If the efficiency should stay the same as before, owners complain "Cubic, plz buff. It's weak."

I came up a solution that may satisfy both sides: And that is..... Buff weapon efficiency booster mechanism.

For example: Hitman Cape UP2 should grants 25% of Backup weapon efficiency bonus.

For Hunter's Altar: It should stack with headshot multiplier additively by 5%.

Leader Drum: Should grant 25% efficiency bonus if upgraded to UP2 (stacks multiplicative with other booster setup.)

The formula should function like this: ((Efficiency per bodyshot*(universal weapon efficiency bonus wear*specific weapon efficiency bonus setup))*Leader's Drum bonus)*(1+headshot multiplier+Hunter's Altar)

For example: a 4 efficiency bodyshot with 1.25x headshot multiplier Champion Mercenary with max booster setup and activate Leader's Drum UP2.

If we use the formula: (4*(1.25*1.125)*1.25)*(1+0.25+0.05)

7.03125*1.3=9.140625 headshot efficiency

This means: equipping max Backup DPS setup with Leader's Drum (17 headshots kill without any boosters) would render Champion Mercenary 9-10 headshots kill!

And bad news: Champion Mercenary got nerfed to 25 headshots kill! That's basically its regular counterpart except burning attribute.

Time to buff Mercenary to 19 headshots kill and nerf Champion Mercenary's price from 240 gems to 150 gems!

Alright boys: How should we balance Excally?
