MINOR PATCH 0.33.1 (2021.06.03)

Hey gang. Aesop here, bringing you a mini patch the week after the major patch, as always.
It's pretty short - a couple buffs, a couple nerfs, and a new skin!
Let's check it out.
Servers will go down to apply the patch on June 2nd for a few hours beginning 7PM PT

[h2]Patch Note - Quick Look[/h2]


[h2]New Skin[/h2]
Firebat Adriana will be available for purchase!

  • Rarity: Uncommon

  • Price: 1,075 NP

[h2]Character[/h2]
Leon Leon still isn't quite where we want him to be, even after some buffs last week. We're going to tune him up a touch more and see how he does.

  • Waterway(Q)

    • Damage 40/75/110/145/180(+Attack Power 40%) → 40/80/120/160/200(+Attack Power 40%)

  • Surf's Up(R) on wall impact

    • Slow Duration 1.8s → 2s

    • Damage proportional to missing HP 10/15/20% → 15/20/25%
Shoichi
With his relatively high pick and kill rate in higher tiers, Shoichi is still putting on a show. We're lowering his early game strength but giving him a little more power late game.

  • Base Attack Power 27 → 19

  • Attack Power per Level 3.1 → 3.7
Sua Sua has been doing above average in upper tiers. We're giving her a slight nerf to prevent her stun from feeling like a perma stun too often.

  • Odyssey(Q)

    • Cooldown 12/11/10/9/8s → 13/12/11/10/9s
Eleven Eleven's debut week was incredible! Just... lackluster in the strength department. We're giving her a little bit of love to help her get started in Ranked. (Queue ranked!)

  • Eleven is now playable in Ranked

  • A-Coin Cost reduced

    • 9900 → 8020.

  • Base Attack Speed 0.07 → 0.11

  • Burger Queen(Q)

    • Skill cast delay when used on max charge 0.4s → 0.33s

    • Slow during channel 20% → 15%

    • SP Cost: 50/60/70/80/90 → 50/55/60/65/70

  • Food For Thought(W)

    • Slow during channel 20% → 15%
Chiara Chiara's delay after descending from the heavens was a bit too long and looked a little too awkward.

  • Last Judgement(R → R)

    • Delay after landing on enemy 0.72s → 0.23s
Hart Following last weeks adjustments, Hart maintained a pretty high win/kill rate. We're trying to lower that a bit.


  • Flanger(E)

    • Cooldown 17/15/13/11/9s → 18/17/16/15/14s

[h2]Weapon[/h2]
Assault Rifle

  • Agni

    • Attack Power 55 → 51
Axe

  • Attack speed increase per Mastery Level 0.3% → 0.6%

  • The Juggernaut

    • Attack Speed per Level 2% → 3%
Two-Handed Sword Aurora Longsword wasn't really built and didn't really have a niche with it's recipe/stats. We're changing that up a bit.

  • Aurora Longsword

    • Recipe

      • Plasma Sword + Meteorite → Plasma Sword + Motor

    • Skill Amplification 12% (REMOVED)

    • (NEW) Attack Speed+ 20%


[h2]Armor[/h2]
The fancy Tuxedo and High Priest Robes weren't very strong following their addition. Nobody utilized them well in any tier, so we're tuning them up a touch.

Chest

  • Tuxedo

    • Defense 18 → 20

    • Life Steal 6% → 8%

  • High Priest Robes

    • SP Regen 50% → 65%
Arm

  • Squad Leader Armband

    • HP Regen 1.5 → 1.2


[h2]Area Item Frequency Adjustments[/h2]
Since bats now drop surveillance cameras, we're taking them away from Beach. Tough luck kiddo.

Beach

  • Surveillance Camera 6 (REMOVED)

  • Hammer 7 → 8

  • Hatchet 5 → 6

  • Bike Helmet 6 → 7

  • Snare 3 → 4

  • Mousetrap 5 → 6

  • Carbonated Water 6 → 7


[h2]Mode Balancing[/h2]

[New Character] Eva Concept Art

Kind, quiet, and seemingly fragile, Eva seems unfit for the harsh and unforgiving experiment taking place on Lumia.



However, if she finds herself in any sort of danger, Eva unleashes her true powers - voluntarily... or otherwise.
