Omega Strikers News

For a limited time, it's HALLOWEEN IN AHTEN!!

[h3]The event starts now and will run until October 31st[/h3]

We've got a couple missions for you to get stuff like the coveted JUNO CLOWN emote for when you want to make your teammates laugh :) It won't be toxic :)



We've also added some levels to the striker pass, including our good friend Sonii!



Just open the game and click the MISSIONS tab to see the events!

also please do not make fun of my graphic design I worked very hard on the banner.

BONJOUR Strikers.
We’re serving you up the fattest micropatch of the day today, it’s pretty low carb and features things like BUFFS and NERFS and stuff like that. You know how it is.
We’ve actually got a tiny little surprise for you cookin' in our proverbial oven so keep your eyes peeled for that as we wrap things up there!!
Alright then for now, let’s just jump into this micropatch.

[hr][/hr]
[h3]Asher [/h3]Asher is not only the queen of a lot of your hearts, she’s also been the queen of the field. We’re toning her down as both goalie and forward to keep her in line. Don’t worry tho, she’s still plenty toned.

  • DOT Damage :: 18(+9% Power) →20(+10% Power)
    • (Full duration burn damage :: 265.5 → 295)

[h3]Estelle [/h3]Her speed was tuned down last patch. She landed a little weaker than we liked so we tuned up her power a bit elsewhere. (What is she like a muscle car? wtf)

  • Core Knockback :: 1340 (+180% Power) → 1350 (+185% Power)

[h3]Octavia[/h3]Last patch hit her a little harder than we intended so we’re splitting the difference and giving her a little gift of stagger for good measure. It’s ain’t OCTober without and OCTavia buff lol. Octavia Omega Strikers. October.

[h3]Zentaro[/h3]The gap between Zentaro’s highs and lows was a bit wider than we’d like. We're giving him some extra damage on imperfect Slice and Dices to make him a little less feast or famine.

• Slice and Dice [PRIMARY]
  • Sour spot Damage & Knockback multiplier:: 33% → 45%
    • (damage on a sour spot hit 80 → 108)

YO GANG



Snappy name, I know.

So. If you haven't seen before, I posted something like this on the Discord a couple of times.

Basically, I'm straight up rewarding the "best of the best!" (It's actually also more like players that stay grinding!!!)

So each of the following players will get EXCLUSIVE TITLES to equip in game.

• Top knockouts get Verified KO Champ
• Top goalies get Verified Fortress
• Top scorers get Verified Egoist
• Top MVPs get Verified MVP

I want to do these every month or so but it takes some time to compile and there are some JERKS out there who tried to ruin games to get on the list. (72 KOs? C'mon bruh)

Well, without further ado, let's look at the winners from the ENTIRETY of Season 3

[hr][/hr]

[h3]Top KOs (in one game)[/h3]




[h3]Most Goals (Season total!) [/h3]



[h3]Most Saves (in one game) [/h3]


[h3]Most MVPs (Season total) [/h3]



[hr][/hr]

ALRIGHT thanks for reading!!
To the winners: I'll have your titles to you by the time you read this!
The the losers: BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, HOLD THIS L LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

Okay that's all for now.
Talk to you later.
Love you,
Bye.

Also as a bonus for making it to the bottom of the post, here's 10 one-time use codes for a nice SoniiWires emote

WE'RE (kind of) RELEASING A NEW GAME?


[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Byte Breakers is our newest prototype game - a 40 person platform fighter battle royale. Featuring the Omega Strikers characters you know and love in A NEW SETTING!!

The game is an early prototype and we're not even sure we're gonna actually make it. It's giga early, there's not a lot of polish, there's bugs, but at least 1 person thinks it's fun (me)

You can wishlist and request playtest access RIGHT NOW on Steam to check it out for yourself!!

We'll be playing this FRIDAY!!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2503080/Byte_Breakers/


FAQs:

• Why is it NA only???
  
  • That’s just for our first test. If this goes well, more regions will be included in future testing. We’re trying to validate the core game concept, not global networking infrastructure.
    
  
  
  
• What platforms?
  
  • Right now, only Steam (PC)
    
• OS characters?
  
  • You betcha
    
• Team size?
  
  • Duos! You can solo queue and get matched with someone.
    
• Will it be free-to-play or paid?
  
  • We’re not thinking about business model stuff yet, just focused on making a fun game.
    

HEY STRIKING STRIKERS
We really out here with a new patch for SEASON 4 OMEGA STRIKERS!!!
Naturally, we don’t have a ton of new stuff while the team cooks up some new prototypes (and this is technically a micropatch anyway) but we still want to bring you some nifty new changes.
Among those nifty changes are character adjustments and a NEW SKIN REWARD for you climbers.

We also got a couple more small features headed your way in a bigger patch, so keep an eye out for that!

[hr][/hr]
NEW SEASON!!! LET’S GOOOOO. START THE CLIMB!! The reset algorithm backend has been improved pretty nicely and we fixed some niche bugs where people were unintentionally losing progress or getting wrong gains. Sick.Ranked Rewards:

• Aqua Cannon goal explosion
  • (This isn't a seasonal reward btw, this is a forever thing that you'll unlock once you hit challenger any time in the future.)
• Top "x" titles
  • ex: Top 5, Top 10, Top 25, etc
• Nao Recolor
  • For anyone who reaches Gold!
• An emote for reaching plat
• An emote for playing a bunch of games
  • 25 Ranked Games to be exact

Most rewards will be based on your Season *Peak* rating, but the titles for "Top X%" will be based on your leaderboard position at the end of the season.As always, you can track your progress and match history at our site at https://stats.omegastrikers.gg/ Btw there’s 1 fewer map in the rotation now.Rotated Out

Rotated In

• Atlas's Lab
• Taiko Temple

[h3]Ai.Mi[/h3]Nerf so small you can call this kitten sized.

• Cyber Swipe [SECONDARY]
  • Damage and Knockback :: 195 (+97.5) → 185 (+92.5%)
  • Secondary Core Knockback :: 1300(+185%) → 1280(+175%)

[h3]Atlas[/h3]

• Celestial Intervention [SPECIAL]
  • BUGFIX: Revives should now work properly. Should no longer fail to revive in some instances.

[h3]Drek’ar[/h3]After his recent buffs, lizard has been uhhh… been burning up players at high elo and now he’s gonna do it less.

• Molten Bolt [SPECIAL]
  • Cooldown :: 30s → 35s

[h3]Finii[/h3]FINII GOALIE IS NUTS. FINII SHOW CANCELLED A LITTLE.

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 475 → 465

  • Speed :: 450 → 460

[h3]Kazan[/h3]Kazan goalie has been sleeper OP. We’re hitting these stats in particular to lower his prowess in net.

• Crooked Leverage [PRIMARY - CLOSED]

[h3]Nao[/h3]Since launch, Nao’s strength has been divided among two groups: really powerful in coordinated play, but pretty weak in solo queue in not high tiers of play. We’ve adjusted a lot of stuff in her kit previously, but she’s still not really where we want her to be for either group. We’re shaking her kit up by removing the hit stun and some PVP power from her secondary to make it a more reliable tool and adding some extra strength to her primary.

  • Speed per second :: 1.6 → 2

[h3]Rasmus[/h3]Little boost aimed at higher-tier play.

  • Damage and Knockback :: 150 (+70%) → 160 (+80%)
  • Core Knockback :: 1280 (+150%) → 1300 (+160%)

[h3]Rune[/h3]5 speed and 10 power? That’s the Juno change but reversed!!!

• Base Stats
  • Speed :: 160 → 165
  • Power :: 100 → 110

[h3]Vyce[/h3]Last set of nerfs dampened her sound, man. We’re giving her some more reliable cooldowns, but still making sure she doesn’t drown out the rest of the cast.

• Thunderstruck [SECONDARY]
  • Cooldown :: 14s → 12s
  • Damage and Knockback :: 220 (+110%) → 200 (+100%)

[h3]X[/h3]He lost 5 power! Where did that go? To Juno? X was just kinda good last patch so we’re turning him down a bit.
