11/5(Tue) Balance Update Notes

[Legend Changes]

[Buffs]

[Nerf]

[Adjust]

[Changes]

[Buffs]

[Cindy]

  • Cindy is frequently counterattacked by her opponents as she is defenseless immediately after using her Ultimate. We are improving her Ultimate and making it more effective to reduce these experiences.

Ultimate

[Cinderella Kick] 

  • Ultimate knockback slightly increased.
  • Ultimate recovery decreased.

[Flare]

  • The appearance of this obnoxious rascal throws the match into chaos. In a different way than Briar.
  • Flare has been underperforming in matches for a long time, but increasing her damage output without regard for her opponent’s frustration is a difficult task. As a result, we have strengthened her knockback, allowing her to be more dominant in the Dominion Point in other ways.

Basic Attack

[Small Kindling] 

  • Knockback slightly increased.

[Goldie]

  • Goldie’s spray is much easier to hit when thrown in the air, so most Goldie players would jump before using her Skill. Although it looks cool, this was not what we intended.
  • By reducing the difficulty of successfully landing it as a Ground Skill, we make both her Ground and Aerial Skill useful depending on the circumstances. It also allows Goldie’s creative spirit to flourish even on the ground.

Skill

[Just the Right Spray!] 

  • [Ground Skill]
    • (New) Goldie now throws her spray at a higher angle when used as Ground Skill. The spray will bounce a little on the ground.
    • The spray now explodes at a closer distance.
    • The range at which the spray detects nearby enemies is slightly increased. The explosion area remains the same.

[Jack O’]

  • In the last update, significant changes were made to reduce the sense of helplessness when facing Jack O’. Our goal was to make him accept the risk of reusing his Ultimate while still maintaining its power. We were able to achieve our goal following the update, but Jack O’ is now having difficulties due to the excessive changes.
  • So, we are trying to balance Jack O’ by returning some of his tracking and damage. We hope to see the extinct Jack O’ mains return to Library World.

Ultimate

[Surprise!] 

  • The moment the Ultimate projectile returns, its trajectory will be a straight line toward Jack O’s location.
  • Damage increased. 700 → 800

[Witch Queen]

  • Witch Queen can hinder her opponents in a variety of ways, but she seems to be obsessed with always transforming them into frogs.
  • We are increasing her [Recharging Magic] Ability to make her able to easily hinder her opponents with Slow.

Ability

[Recharging Magic] 

  • Decreases Skill cooldown by 0.27 / 0.3 / 0.33 / 0.37 / 0.4 → 0.6 / 0.7 / 0.8 / 0.9 / 1 s for every successful Basic Attack against an opponent.

[Nerf]

[Robin]

  • Robin is an all-around legend, capable of applying constant pressure, quick positioning, and inflicting instantaneous damage at any time. Despite being a beloved Legend, he is particularly fearsome when competing at the highest level. 
  • As a result, we are decreasing his power while maintaining Robin’s agility, allowing his opponents to withstand his attacks a little better.

Skill

[Robin Arrow] 

  • [Ground]
    • Damage decreased. 1000 → 900
  • [Charge]
    • Damage decreased. 1350 → 1200

[Woochi]

  • Woochi’s Ability combinations have remained relatively consistent since her release, resulting in repetitive gameplay. 
  • In order for Woochi to perform flashy plays again, some of her more favored Abilities have been adjusted.

Abilities

  • Before
    • Gains super armor while dashing with Aerial Skill. Increases Aerial Skill damage by 18 / 20 / 22 / 24 / 26%.
