Balance
Weapons
This balance pass improves follow-up attacks and reward on hit for a few underperforming Weapons, while increasing risk and opening Dodge Windows for several overperforming Weapons. We have also increased the reward for a number of underused Signature attacks and decreased the reward for several of the most used Signatures in recent tournaments. This patch also marks the first adjustments for Priya and the new Chakram Weapon, making them legal for use in official tournaments.
| Weapon | Changes |
|---|---|
 Blasters |
The Blasters Neutral Light now has greater Stun and leaves the opponent in a closer location for greatly improved follow-up attacks.
The Blasters Side Light also now has greater Stun to provide combo opportunities.
|
 Chakram |
We have greatly decreased the amount of allowed acceleration and movement during the Chakram aerial attacks to grant clearer opportunities to chase down and punish these attacks.
The Fused Chakram Side Light and Side Air have received greater Force to bring the reward for the Fused mode closer in line with other Weapons. The Split Chakram Neutral Light now has less Stun and provides a consistent Frame Advantage to guarantee Dodge Windows for certain follow-up attacks, but also has slightly less Recover time on hit to provide a smoother feel in use. Similarly, the Split Chakram Neutral Air now has less Stun and provides a consistent Frame Advantage to guarantee Dodge Windows, and also impulses the user during the first hit to provide more consistent locations on hit. We have also decreased the Stun of the Split Chakram Down Air to provide Dodge Windows between follow-up attacks. The Split Chakram Recovery now has less Force to better match this kit’s string potential.
|
 Gauntlets |
We have increased the Time to Hit of Gauntlets Side Air to open a Dodge Window after a Down Light.
The Gauntlets Recovery now has greater Recover time on miss to bring the risk of this attack closer in line with its considerable reward and utility.
|
 Greatsword |
The window for movement inputs like Dash, Dodge, or Jump has been greatly delayed after missing a Greatsword Neutral Light or Side Light Opener to provide a larger window to counterattack against these string starters.
The Stun of Neutral Light and Side Light Bridge attacks now provide a consistent Frame Advantage on hit to guarantee Dodge Windows between certain follow-up attacks.
|
 Hammer |
The Hammer Neutral Light, Side Light, Neutral Air, and Side Air have all received increases to their reward on hit. This leans into the Hammer’s identity of powerful hits and brings it closer in line with the reward curve of other Weapons.
|
 Katars |
The Katars Neutral Light, Side Light, Down Light, and Side Air have all received decreases to their Damage. This leans into the Katars’ identity of using many quick but small hits and brings it closer in line with the reward curve of other Weapons.
|
 Rocket Lance |
We have shifted some power from the Rocket Lance’s aerial kit into the ground kit in the form of greater Force for the Neutral Light.
The Rocket Lance Neutral Air now has less allowed acceleration and speed during the attack to provide clearer opportunities to punish this expansive attack. The Rocket Lance Down Air now has less threat coverage near the user to provide wider avenues to contest or maneuver around this attack. We have increased the Time to Hit of the Rocket Lance Exhausted Recovery and decreased its Force as it was both too quick and too powerful for its overall utility.
|
 Sword |
The Sword kit provides flexible coverage that allows for a high degree of stage control, so we have increased the risk associated with a number of key attacks to grant larger openings against this Weapon.
The Neutral Light, Side Light, Down Light, and Down Air now have greater Recover time on miss. We have also slightly increased the Time to Hit of the Down Light to better match its reward and utility. The Side Air and Down Air also allow less acceleration on miss to provide greater opportunities to counter these versatile attacks.
|
Legends
| Legend | Changes |
|---|---|
We have significantly increased the Force of Azoth’s Neutral Bow and Side Bow Signatures to better match their long total duration and overall risk.
| |
Ember’s Neutral Bow, Neutral Katars, and Side Katars now have significantly increased Force to better match her general glass cannon design, and to better fit the overall risk of her Katar Signatures.
| |
We have increased the reward on hit for Lord Vraxx’s Side Rocket Lance, Down Rocket Lance, Neutral Blasters, and Down Blasters to bring these closer in line with other similar options on higher performing Legends.
| |
Magyar’s Down Greatsword, Side Hammer, and Down Hammer all now have much greater reward on hit to better match their relatively high accuracy requirements and significant risk.
| |
Nix’s Side Blasters and Down Blasters now provide greater reward on hit to better match their overall risk and lengthy total commitment.
| |
| Priya’s Neutral Chakram now has significantly greater Recover time on miss to provide a wider opportunity to close the gap and punish reckless use of this attack.
Priya’s Side Chakram now has greater Recover time and less Force to equalize the risk and reward of this Signature. We have slightly increased the Recover time for Priya’s Down Chakram to grant a wider opportunity to counter this attack. Priya’s Neutral Sword now has less threat coverage at the edges of the attack and significantly greater Recover time on miss to provide a clearer window to close the gap and punish this attack where it recovers.
| |
Ragnir’s Side Katars and Down Axe now have greater Force to bring them closer in line with other similar options on higher performing Legends.
| |
Sir Roland’s Neutral Rocket Lance has received a significant increase in Force to better match its lengthy total commitment and overall risk.
| |
Ulgrim’s Neutral Axe, Side Axe, Down Axe, Neutral Rocket Lance, and Side Rocket Lance have been overperforming in team game modes so we have significantly reduced their reward on hit to be closer in line with the majority of other Legends.
| |
Wu Shang has also overperformed in team game modes, so we have reduced the reward on hit for his Neutral Gauntlets, Side Gauntlets, Neutral Spear, and Side Spear to better match their high degree of utility and coverage.
|
