Menus
Material Customization Camera Zoom:
- When customizing material per body part, the camera will now focus on that specific body part, offering a better preview.
BALANCING CHANGES
Aramusha:
- Chain Heavy (all stances) damage reduced to 26 damage (down from 27/30 for top/side).\
- Heavy Finisher damage reduced to 29 (was 31).
[Developer's Comments]
Aramusha is now performing well with the changes from earlier this year. However, we've noticed that their damage is giving them too much of an edge, so we are toning it down to be in line with the rest of the roster.
Shugoki:
- Headbutt Damage increased to 12 (up from 10).
- Headbutt Stamina cost decreased to 15 (down from 20).
[Developer's Comments]
When comparing Shugoki's Headbutt to other fast unparryable attacks (melee/bash moves), it led to less damage at a higher stamina cost than most.
With these changes, the move should be more in line with the rest of the cast.
Gladiator:
- Skewer's parry window is now 166ms (down from 200ms).
Can now be parried from 600ms to 766ms (instead of 600ms to 800ms).
[Developer's Comments]
At the highest level, Skewer is not effective at opening the opponent's guard as players can react to them (and their feints) earlier than expected.
This is the same issue that Pirate had with Walk the Plank & Cavalier Dance. So, we're giving it the same treatment as we've seen positive results.
As a reminder, the goal behind this change is to make it an even playing field for players of all levels and not favor those with quicker reactions.
Shinobi:
- Sickle Rain now generates 30 revenge (down from 55).
[Developer's Comments]
In the past, we had increased the amount of revenge this move would generate to compensate for the ability to break hitstun rules.
With the recent Anti-Gank changes, this is no longer the case so we are reducing their value back to normal. Note that this does not impact Sickle Rain follow ups (these still generate 10 revenge per hit).
Conqueror:
-
New move: Crashing Apprehension (Dodge Forward + Heavy)
-
Counts as a Heavy Opener from Top stance
-
Acts as a Chain Starter
-
Can be Feinted at normal Feint Timing
-
Can be Soft-Feinted with Full Block Stance either at Start up or Recovery
[Developer's Comments]
The new move addresses Conqueror's inability to deal with opponents that dodge-roll away at the sign of any pressure. Now, players should be able to punish enemies if they read their intent.
