2/28 Balance Update Notes

[Legend Changes]

All Changes

The time it took to smash a Legend was too short, leading to an unexpected rise in the battle tempo.
To make the battles last longer, all Legends’ HP is increased by 500.

[Rework]

Buffs

[Cindy]

Basic Attack

[Triple Kick] 

  • Ground Skill’s damage increased by 100. 450 → 550

[Molly]

Molly’s Ultimate Ability appeared to have little to no effect on her performance, resulting in instances where playing her was less enjoyable. Therefore, some of her Abilities have been buffed. Additionally, Molly’s HP has been increased by an additional 100, so that her foes will be more intimidated by her.

  • HP increased by 100.

Ability

[Patience of a Hunter]

  • Ultimate Gauge increase amount adjusted. 22/20/18/16/14 → 12/10/8/6/4%

[Alice]

Skill

[Bunny-Bunny Magic Mine] 

  • Skill Cooldown increased. 6 → 6.5 s

[Peter]

Currently, Peter is showing decent performance in Dominion with his fast return and ability to cover a large area.
We reduced his ability to cover large areas so that Peter now has to use his Ultimate more carefully to gain an advantage.

The influence of Snow’s Skill has been reduced while increasing its risk.

Loren’s Base Stats have been nerfed to make her stand out more when she is with Vex.

Basic Attack

[Tour Jeté]

  • Fixed an issue where equipping the “Arctic Snap” Ability and smashing an opponent would leave the visual effects of Slow after reviving.
  • Fixed an issue where Parfait’s “Calm Before the Storm” Ability would still be activated after respawning.
