Overview
Nexus Defense — Runner
Section titled “Nexus Defense — Runner”Default lane mob for Nexus Defense matches. Spawned by the server during the Wave phase and walks straight toward the Nexus along the player’s hex strip.
Tuning surface
Section titled “Tuning surface”The nd-server flavor of the q crate pulls combat numbers from this entry at boot via NpcDb::from_bytes + get_by_ref("nd-enemy-runner"):
stats.max_hp→ enemy hit points.stats.speed→ lane traversal speed in pixels per second (Nexus Defense reinterprets the field; Rareicon and other RPG consumers continue to read it as a turn-based stat).loot.gold_min→ flat bounty awarded to the slot whose tower lands the killing blow.loot.gold_maxis ignored until per-kill variance is wired up.
Adjusting the YAML and re-running nx run astro-kbve:sync:npcdb retunes the live build without recompiling the Rust binary.
