[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]
[hr][/hr][h3]Gundam[/h3]
Gundam Shield
↓Durability : 1,000 → 400
  • We will lower the Gundam Shield's durability due to it's high usage rate, win rate, and K/D in the high-rate zones, and not having any disadvantageous units in 1-on-1 battles.
Hyper Hammer
↓Cooldown : 9 sec → 11 sec
  • In an environment with fewer fighting units and more units that can use shields, the Hyper Hammer's threat level is high and the timing of its use will be more severe.

[hr][/hr][h3]Dom Trooper[/h3]
Unit
↓HP : 1,200 → 1,100
  • The Dom Trooper is not a unit with outstanding performance, but its high K/D ratio makes it difficult to be destroyed, and it tends to have a high win rate. Since the main weapon, which is easy to hit from the rear, is used to gain an advantage, we will adjust the unit's HP, which was high, in order to suppress it.

[hr][/hr][h3]Gundam Exia[/h3]
GN Beam Dagger
↓Damage : 115 → 95
↓Headshot multiplier : 2x → 1.7x
  • We will reduce the damage to bring down the total damage of the combo and mid range attacks.
  • We held ourselves from adjusting the ranged attacks too much considering that the unit must be able to somewhat fight long range as well. But, we will consider the best adjustment in the direction of distance attenuation, ejection speed, and reloading, based on future trends and feedback.

[hr][/hr][h3]Mahiroo[/h3]
REN-DO Grenade
↓Maximum damage : 270 → 220
↓Minimum damage : 100 → 80
↓Detonation range of the enemy : 180 → 140
  • We believe that widening the detection range of the REN-DO grenade has improved the usability of the grenade, but there were some situations where the grenade was hit even when the user thought they had avoided it, so we will slightly reduce the detection range so as not to make it too easy to hit. The damage after the adjustment was higher than expected and the ability to control spaces were stronger than expected, so we will adjust this point as well.
REN-DO Grenade (Rush)
↓Maximum damage before splitting : 230 → 200
↓Maximum damage after splitting : 180 → 150
↓Minimum damage after splitting : 80 → 70
↑Detection range of enemy that is a condition for detonation : 20 → 140
  • Since the purpose of the G maneuver is to control spaces, we will strengthen it by increasing the detection range while reducing the damage.

[hr][/hr][h3]Nu Gundam[/h3]
Beam rifle
↑Damage during deployment of the "Fin Funnel Barrier" has been made equal to it's normal state (160 → 177)

12/20 Notification of Maintenance[Updated 12/21 9:00PM PST]

[Updated 12/21 9:00PM (PST)]

[h2]Maintenance Schedule[/h2]
12/20/2022 4:30PM - 9:00PM (PST)(Scheduled)

[h2]Maintenance Details[/h2]
[h3]Adjustment of Game Rules[/h3]
  • The installation and deactivation times of destructive weapons in the "Destruction" rule will be changed as follows.
    ・Setting time: 3 seconds → 4 seconds
    ・Disarming time: 5 seconds → 4 seconds
    ・The disarming time was longer than the installation time, and although the design was slightly in favor of the attacker, the ratio of extended battles was higher than expected. By adjusting the installation and release time, we aim to improve the balance between the attack and defense to reduce the ratio of extended battles.
  • The time limits for "Point Capture" and "Destruction" and the additional time for acquiring the first area will be changed as follows.
    ・Point Capture
    ・Time limit: 300 seconds → 240 seconds
    ・Additional time: 180 seconds → 120 seconds
    ・Destruction・Time limit: 300 seconds → 270 seconds
    ・Additional time: 210 seconds → 150 seconds

We will implement the adjustment mainly due to a bug, and many other balance adjustments will be implemented separately during the maintenance scheduled for 12/26.

▼Marasai [UC]
 ・Sea Snake Ensnare
  The projectile speed has become slower since the Season 2 update, and will be corrected to the previous parameters.

▼Asshimar
 ・Napalm Grenade
  The hit detection of the projectile has been reduced to correct a problem where the projectile would hit a wall when in close contact with a wall or when thrown into a tight space.

▼ Zaku II [Melee]
 ・Large Heat Hawk (Slash)
  The damage to devices and units that have been disabled will now be adjusted to "400".
