Omega Strikers - March 6th Micropatch | Update Notes

Alright Strikers, you know what time it is!! It’s PATCH TIME!

Before we get started I’d like to shout out the Finii Plush that is now on sale! Get it before it’s too late!



Okay. Anyway!

Couple interesting balance changes today in this patch - new base speed tiers for strikers as forwards/midfield/goalies and stuff like that. I’m also working on a couple small tiny baby reworks to some awakenings if it’s possible for the future. I don’t even know if it actually is possible but hey you never know!

Also, shouts out to the 4 players who were randomly selected to help put this patch together!! They are Goomy, FudgyWaffles, SwiftDeity, and Hekuria/MrWolf.
Shouts out to them.

Alright let’s get started!

[hr][/hr]

[h3]Atlas[/h3]While you were out eating shrimp with the wimps, Atlas was feasting with the beasts in the goal arc. Small change to his primary and base speed should satiate his appetite.

• Base Stats
  • Speed : 440 → 435
• Astral Projection [PRIMARY]
  • Cooldown :: 8.5s → 9s

[h3]Drek’ar[/h3]Lower on the pick rate of tiers and only pretty good with a small subset of people, Drek could use a little lizard love.

• Xeno Cloak [SECONDARY]
  • Cooldown :: 12s → 11s

[h3]Estelle[/h3]Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 445→ 450

[h3]Finii[/h3]Finii is just kinda weak in pretty much every tier. Plus she’s getting a plush so I have to give her a faux mascot buff, right?

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 465 → 460
• Triple Take [SECONDARY]
  • Damage Taken By Enemies buff :: 20 → 25%

[h3]Juliette[/h3]Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 460 → 450

[h3]Juno[/h3]Jumping around all over the place and smashing red cores instantly in OT made Juno a little annoying to play against. This should tune her down a touch.

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 460 → 455
  • Stagger Growth :: 450 → 375

[h3]Kai[/h3]Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 465 → 460

[h3]Kazan[/h3]There’s a small slice of players that are really good with Kazan, but outside of that, he’s like really bad elsewhere. This change should affect those good players less than the rest.

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 440 → 445
  • Power :: 90 → 95

[h3]Luna[/h3]Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 460 → 455

[h3]Mako[/h3]Mako is a really good goalie in a lot of tiers, a weak forward everywhere. Tuning down her damage a touch to stop those across map million damage shots. She’s on my radar for a small rework if possible, but we’ll see how that goes.

• Perfect Pitch [PRIMARY]
  • Projectile Damage / Knockback :: 105 + 52.5% ⇾ 103 + 51.5% power

[h3]Octavia[/h3]Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 475 → 465

[h3]Rasmus[/h3]He was in a mostly good place but could just use a little bit of love.

• Whiplash [SECONDARY]
  • Duration :: 2.25s → 2.5s

[h3]Rune[/h3]Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 465→ 450

[h3]Vyce[/h3]Small tweak to Vyce. Her “damage” tool is doing less than her “movement” tool.

• Power Chord [PRIMARY]
  • Damage / Knockback :: 175 + 87.5% → 180 + 90%
• Thunderstruck [SECONDARY]
  • Cooldown :: 12s → 13s

[h3]X[/h3]Tiniest adjustment of all time to keep X from going too insane with new speeds.

• Base Stats
  • Power :: 125 → 120

[h3]Zentaro[/h3]The standard is the standard.

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 460 → 450
• Oni’s Blade [SPECIAL]
  • Cooldown :: 40s → 35s

I’m considering making map rotation a weekly thing, i.e. changing 1 map each week. Lmk if you like this idea.

Rotated In: Oni Village, Clarion Corp
Rotated Out: Taiko Temple, Night Market

Rotated out:

• Hotshot
• Peak Performance
• Fight or Flight
• Demolitionist
• Explosive Entrance
• Catalyst

Rotated In:

• Chronoboost
• Reverberation
• Orb Replicator [BUFFED]
• Prize Fighter
• Recovery Drone
• Stinger

[h3]Among Titans[/h3]Kind of in line with speed adjustments of the rest of the patch.

• Speed buff: 15% → 12%

[h3]Stacks on Stacks[/h3]Kind of in line with speed adjustments of the rest of the patch.

• Stacks on hit: 6 → 5

[h3]Magnetized Soles[/h3]Mag Soles has easily been far and away the best forward gear. Also it was still giving 25% movement speed despite the tooltip saying 22%! My bad hehe. Mag Soles is on my radar for an adjustment as well. I was thinking of giving it an ICD so you can’t just straddle the midfield line for the speed boost.

• Duration :: 2s → 1.25s
• Speed: 25% → 21%

[h3]Monumentalist[/h3]Monu is doing pretty well on people with creations if you can believe it. Even Juliette had a 66% win rate with it. (sample size of like 3)

• Size :: 100% → 85%

[h3]Momentum Boots[/h3]Underperforming a bit compared to the other goalie gear.

• Time to max stacks :: 10s → 8s
• Speed per stack :: 1% → 1.25%

[h3]Orb Replicator[/h3]No other orb buff awakenings are in so let’s share the energy and health! Yay!

• Orb benefits shared to allies :: 50% → 75%

[h3]Strike Shot[/h3]Strike Shot is overperforming a bit compared to the other goalie gear. It’s also on my radar for a small rework. Perhaps making the strike shot projectile unaffected by projectile range increases or having it start on CD. Idk we’ll see

• Cooldown :: 9s → 11.5s

[h3]Perfect Form[/h3]Making Perfect Form a little less perfect.

• Cooldown reduction from normal hits :: 13.5% → 12%
• Cooldown reduction from light hits :: 4.5% → 4%
