Patch 1.5.3 - Primal Dawn

[p]Did you hear that? The ferocious roars in the distance… It’s the Primal Dawn event! Last February featured the more traditional Love Struck event, but this year things are decidedly less lovey-dovey. Check out the brand new trailer here: [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Trailer Correction: The currency and rarities in-game are correct, but this trailer accidentally shows the standard bundle Aether Buck & Coin amounts in the endcard. The Primal Dawn bundle in game includes 10,000 AC and 100 AB, as it contains 2 rare and 1 epic level skins this month, instead of 3 rares as usual. Primal Maypul is an epic skin that includes custom SFX, music, VFX, and model changes.[/p][p][/p][p]Players equipping any of the new event skins, or any of the following skins will receive 20% Bonus XP on the event track: Primal Etalus, Aardwolf Forsburn, Primal Forsburn, Primal Orcane, Primal Loxodont, Primal Kragg, Civet Maypul, and Arctic Fleet.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The free event track includes the Primal Olympia Skin and Icon, Bedrock platform, Primal Maypul emote, and Cataclysplosion death effect. The paid bundle includes 3 new Primal skins - Primal Wrastor, Primal La Reina, and Primal Maypul with their own prehistoric icons to match, plus coins and bucks. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]New Shop Items[/h2][p]Here's the new palettes, icons, and emotes included in this patch:[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Orange Primal Kragg Palette[/p]
  • [p]Black Skink Galvan[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p]

  • [p]Ferrosaur Icon 2[/p]
  • [p]Ferrosaur Icon 3[/p]
  • [p]Just Parry Emote[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]New Ranked Shop Items[/h2][p]Champion Olympia has been added to the Ranked Shop! This includes a skin, two emotes, and two icons for the Amethyst Fist.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Audio Updates[/h2]
  • [p]Etalus[/p]
    • [p]Etalus Dash Attack now has a new custom SFX.[/p]
  • [p]Fleet[/p]
    • [p]Bug Fix: Fleet special and strong sound effects now correctly tune in to the key of the currently playing music track again.[/p]
  • [p]Maypul[/p]
    • [p]Terry, Poppy and Lily voices were playing a bit too late and were moved to play earlier.[/p]
    • [p]We mentioned previously that Maypul was scheduled to receive new voice-lines for both default and skins this patch, but these lines need a bit more time in the oven so we're delaying them for the next patch.[/p]
  • [p]Primal Maypul[/p]
    • [p]Primal Maypul has new sounds for Terry, Poppy and Lily, as well as some custom bone hits in some of her moves and a new win jingle.[/p]
  • [p]Primal Wrastor[/p]
    • [p]Primal Wrastor has a custom Up Special Sweetspot Hit SFX. The eagle is now a dinosaur![/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][h2]Gameplay Changes[/h2][p][/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that caused shield drops to be delayed by 2 frames when your Roll Setting prevents rolling with the left stick.[/p]
  • [p]Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that allowed characters to grab ledge 1 frame after grabbing an opponent, canceling the grab.[/p]
    • [p]This was most notable with La Reina, since her recovery moves are grabs.[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that caused Wrastor to gain 2 jumps back when thrown after being cubed by Kragg's Neutral Special.[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Slow Fall joystick threshold: 0.75 > 0.7[/p]
    • [p]This was intended to go live with 1.5.0 but was unintentionally excluded.[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Forward Strong sourspot radius: 70 > 80, moved 10cm backward and 5cm downward.[/p]
    • [p]After the latest change to this move's hitboxes, Maypul was whiffing in situations where the opponent was right next to her, so we're increasing the backward range of the move by 20cm and the downward range by 15cm to prevent that.[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Up Special multihits hitstun multiplier: x1 > x0.75[/p]
    • [p]This makes it less punishing to get clipped by a single hit of Clairen Up Special, especially offstage.[/p]
