Operational Changes in Mechagon and MOTHERLODE Dungeons

The Mechagon Workshop and MOTHERLODE have seen tailored modifications to adjust gameplay pace and difficulty. For instance, the Mechagon Tinkerer's Activate Anti-Personnel Squirrel now casts instantly, enhancing reaction times against players.
