This round of balance changes improves the risk-reward ratio for several underused Signatures, while reining in the reward for certain overperforming key Signatures following the Trial of Ymir tournaments.
Spear
The previously decreased Stun on Spear Side Light and Side Air has opened several gaps in the Spear's string game, however the loss of pressure from landing a Side Light has proven to be too severe. We have increased the Stun of the Side Light to allow for slightly more reliable follow-up attacks, especially when punishing an opponent's Dodge.
- Spear Side Light: Increased Stun from 17 to 19.
Sword
With the ever-increasing speed of the game and wider mobility options, the Sword Down Light carried too much risk for its relatively thin total threat coverage when compared to other combo starters that grant similar reward. We have slightly reduced the Recover time on miss to better match this attack's required precision on the ground.
- Sword Down Light: Decreased Recover time on miss from 7 Fixed/20 Variable to 5 Fixed/20 Variable.
Cassidy
Cassidy's Down Blasters had an overly long total duration that is easily punished from a significant distance away. We have reduced the Recover time to help offset this lengthy commitment and continue the flow of combat.
- Cassidy Down Blasters: Decreased total Recover time from 21 to 19.
Diana Diana's Side Blasters often requires more precision than most Side Signatures, so we have borrowed some of the power from Diana's incredibly strong Side Bow. The Side Blasters now have greater Force and less Recover time, at the cost of slightly less Force on Diana's Side Bow.
- Diana Side Bow: Decreased Force from 69 Fixed/49 Variable to 69 Fixed/47 Variable.
- Diana Side Blasters: Increased Force from 60 Fixed/52 Variable to 65 Fixed/53 Variable; Decreased total Recover time from 28 to 25.
Ember We have increased the Force and Damage of Ember's Neutral Katars to better match its lengthy total duration and the slow bloom to its threat coverage.
- Ember Neutral Katars: Increased Force from 75 Fixed/53 Variable to 75 Fixed/54 Variable; Increased total Damage from 25 to 27.
Fait Fait's Neutral Orb would often score knockouts too early when striking an airborne target with the top of the attack. We have reduced the Force to bring the knockout range closer in line with other similar attacks, and some of this lost power has been traded for a minor increase in Damage.
- Fait Neutral Orb: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/52 Variable to 64 Fixed/50 Variable; Increased Damage from 23 to 24.
Lucien Lucien's Neutral Blasters would score knockouts significantly later than other similar Signatures due to its diagonal knockback and Lucien's low Strength. We have increased the Force to allow this Signature to score knockouts at a more appropriate time.
- Lucien Neutral Blasters: Increased Force from 70 Fixed/52 Variable to 72 Fixed/53 Variable.
Munin We have slightly increased the Force on Munin's Neutral Bow to better match its relatively slow Time to Hit and travel time.
- Munin Neutral Bow: Increased Force from 65 Fixed/52 Variable to 65 Fixed/53 Variable.
Tezca Tezca's Side Gauntlets and Side Boots would score knockouts too early, so we have reduced the Force to better match with their horizontal reach and movement.
- Tezca Side Gauntlets: Decreased Force from 58 Fixed/50 Variable to 58 Fixed/48 Variable.
- Tezca Side Boots: Decreased Force from 60 Fixed/50 Variable to 60 Fixed/48 Variable.
Zariel Zariel's Neutral Bow now has greater Recover time on miss, as the user could previously cover themselves too quickly with a second attack. Players will now have a larger window to launch a counter-attack from the ground or from directly above Zariel.
- Zariel Neutral Bow: Increased total Recover time on miss from 13 to 16.
We’ve made some adjustments to the recently-added Sentinel Side Hammer rework Test Feature. New visual FX have been added to the charged variation to better differentiate between the charged and base version. A special case where performing the Heavy Attack while Gravity Canceled would cause it to end abruptly has been fixed.
- Added new visual FX to Sentinel's Side Hammer Signature's charge variant Test Feature to make the switch between the charged variant & base version more noticeable.
- Fixed a case where the attack would end abruptly when Gravity Canceled.
Please make sure to continue giving us your feedback on this and other Test Features on Discord, Twitter, Reddit, or any of our other official social channels!
