3/14 Balance Update Notes

[System Changes]

Stun and freeze will no longer be broken by attacks from Battle Royale, Duel’s Fire Zone, Relentless Lightning, and Prudent Beam.

[Legend Changes]

[Nerf]

[Rework]

Nerf

[Alice]

“Alice could hinder the opponent’s movement by placing 2 mines on the Dominion Point with her Ultimate Ability equipped.
Her mines are now less effective at controlling areas, and she will have to use them strategically to stop her opponents.”

Ability

[Mine Bombardment] 

  • Mine’s size reduced.

[Parfait]

“Parfait is a strong Legend when her Ultimate is charged. Thus, her ability to charge her Ultimate while also capturing the Dominion Point has been weakened.”

Basic Attack

[Frostbite] 

  • Recovery for Parfait’s 2nd and 4th Basic Attack increased.

Ultimate

[Avalanche] 

  • As Ultimate charges, she is more affected by gravitational pull.

Rework

[Loren & Vex]

“Loren and Vex are stronger when they protect each other. But after Loren summons Vex, she has virtually no risk in recovering HP or stopping the opponent from attacking. We are adjusting her so that she must protect Vex in order to maintain her advantage on the battlefield.

Ultimate

[Pas De Deux] 

  • Vex’s HP decreased. 1500 → 1000
  • Vex’s Damage Reduction increased when Loren is within his attack range. 60% →70%

[Bug Fixes]

  • Fixed an issue where the map would occasionally go black or the camera would zoom in when Vex was being unsummoned.
  • Fixed an issue where Relentless Lightning’s damage was affected by some Abilities’ damage modifiers. Also, they will deal fixed damage, regardless of damage increase/decrease from now on. (This will also apply to the new Enchantment: Prudent Beam.)
  • Fixed an issue where Molly’s ultimate was unable to defend against freezing attacks.
