[Content Changes]
- Boss rewards and progression:
- Serengeti and Olympus miniboss loot and credits now drop from their respective bosses instead. The miniboss lockouts have been removed.
- Moved Super Shield Soother and Shard Dust drops from Zeus Henchmen and Ares Warriors onto Olympus bosses. Each boss now guarantees two Soothers and one Shard Dust. Added 50 million credits to Ares.
