m Technically true but also technically not. Update 1.7 added a new background that was implemented in Electrodynamix. Does that make the background there “specifically designed”? Is Hexagon Force’s BG specific because its hexagons, or because it was used on addition? It’s a bit uncertain, so it might be better off without for now IMO, unless there’s a way to make the meaning clear.
