This sets the stage for the first tournaments of 2026 and also includes Lady Vera's first balance pass, marking her legal for use in official tournaments.[/p][p][/p][h2]Axe[/h2][p]Axe users would most often reset to a neutral position after scoring a single hit, so we have slightly increased the Stun of the Neutral Air and Down Air to provide more meaningful windows to attempt follow-up attacks.[/p]

• [p]Axe Neutral Air: Increased Stun from 26 to 28.[/p]
• [p]Axe Down Air: Increased Stun of the aerial version from 22 to 23.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Blasters[/h2][p]As one of the Blasters main tools in the neutral game, the Side Light, carried too much risk for the current pace of gameplay. We have reduced its Recover time on miss to keep better pace with most other weapons.[/p]

• [p]Blasters Side Light: Decreased Recover time on miss from 13 Fixed/9 Variable to 10 Fixed/9 Variable.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Cannon[/h2][p]We have slightly decreased the Cannon Down Light's Damage in order to reduce its Recover time on miss, bringing its risk more in line with the current pace of gameplay. The Cannon Side Air now has slightly greater Force, as its knockout power at later health ranges was outpaced by most other Weapons.[/p]

• [p]Cannon Down Light: Decreased Damage from 11 to 10; Decreased Recover time on miss from 10 Fixed/14 Variable to 9 Fixed/12 Variable.[/p]
• [p]Cannon Side Air: Increased Force from 65 Fixed/43 Variable to 65 Fixed/45 Variable.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Chakram[/h2][p]The Chakram Fused Down Light now has greater Stun and less Force to provide more reliable combos and string opportunities. We have also increased the amount of allowed acceleration during the Fused and Split Side Airs to better match their mobility to their relatively low range.

• [p]Chakram Fused Down Light: Increased Stun from 25 to 27; Changed Force from 42 Fixed/5 Variable to 44 Fixed/3 Variable.[/p]
• [p]Chakram Fused Side Air: Increased the amount of allowed acceleration during this attack.[/p]

• [p]Chakram Split Neutral Air: Decreased Force from 45 Fixed/8 Variable to 48 Fixed/4 Variable.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Gauntlets[/h2][p]As some of the most common tools in the neutral game, we have increased the Recover time on miss for the Gauntlets Side Light and Side Air to provide a greater window to punish reckless use of these attacks.[/p]

• [p]Gauntlets Side Light: Increased Recover time on miss from 7 Fixed/20 Variable to 9 Fixed/20 Variable.[/p]
• [p]Gauntlets Side Air: Increased Recover time on miss from 9 Fixed/21 Variable to 10 Fixed/21 Variable.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Katars[/h2][p]The Katars Neutral Light now halts the user’s descent through the entire Recover time when Gravity Canceled to provide a more similar distance to the opponent across Dexterity values; the Recover time itself still maintains the current Dexterity breakpoints. The Katars Down Air now does less maximum Damage to bring the reward of its Dodge Punish strings closer in line with those available on other weapons.[/p]

• [p]Katars Neutral Light: Increased Gravity Cancel time to maintain uniform end positioning across Dexterity values. Recover time breakpoints still adhere to current Dexterity scaling.[/p]
• [p]Katars Down Air: Decreased Damage from a range of 4~16 to a range of 4~14.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Rocket Lance[/h2][p]To keep better pace in the current neutral game and more easily catch opponents, the Rocket Lance Side Light now has slightly greater vertical threat coverage and less Recover time on miss. Some of this power has been shifted from the Exhausted Recovery, which now has greater Time to Hit that matches the uncharged Recovery attack.[/p]

• [p]Rocket Lance Side Light: Slightly increased vertical threat coverage; Decreased Recover time on miss from 10 Fixed/14 Variable to 8 Fixed/14 Variable.[/p]
• [p]Rocket Lance Exhausted Recovery: Increased Time to Hit from 12 to 14 to match the uncharged Recovery Attack.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Orb[/h2][p]As some of the Orb's most common pokes in the neutral game, we have increased the Recover time on miss of the Orb Side Air and Down Air to provide a greater window to punish reckless use of these attacks.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Scythe[/h2][p]The Scythe Neutral Light and Neutral Air now have greater Recover time on miss to provide greater windows to counter this powerful string Weapon. The backwards Neutral Air and backwards Down Air now have slightly less Stun to provide a wider window to escape follow-up attacks.

• [p]Scythe Neutral Light: Increased Recover time on miss from 8 Fixed/20 Variable to 10 Fixed/20 Variable.[/p]
• [p]Scythe Neutral Air: Increased Recover time on miss from 11 Fixed/20 Variable to 13 Fixed/20 Variable; Decreased Stun of the backwards Active Input from 20 to 18.[/p]

• [p]Scythe Recovery: Decreased threat coverage at the bottom of the attack.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Spear[/h2][p]We have increased the Time to Hit and Recover time on miss for the Spear Side Light to provide a wider opportunity to punish or evade repeat use of this attack given its high potential reward. The Spear Side Air now has less Damage and Force to better match its overall range and utility. Similarly, we have also decreased the Damage and Force of the Recovery attack, and decreased the amount of allowed acceleration to provide better opportunities to evade or punish this attack.[/p]

• [p]Spear Side Light: Increased Time to Hit from 11 to 13; Increased Recover time on miss from 10 Fixed/10 Variable to 13 Fixed/10 Variable.[/p]

• [p]Cross Side Blasters: Increased Force from 45 Fixed/49 Variable to 50 Fixed/51 Variable.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]King Zuva[/h2][p]King Zuva's Neutral Battle Boots now has much greater threat coverage for more reliable use of this attack. We have also increased the Damage and Force of the later Hit Window for better average reward. King Zuva's Side Battle Boots now has a faster Time to Hit after the charge, and greater Damage and Force to help bring this Signature up to par with other similar options.[/p]

• [p]King Zuva Neutral Battle Boots: Significantly increased threat coverage; Increased Force of the later Hit Window from 55 Fixed/53 Variable to 56 Fixed/55 Variable; Increased Damage of the later Hit Window from 20 to 22.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Lady Vera[/h2][p]We have decreased the Force of Lady Vera's uncharged Side Scythe to bring its knockout power more in line with other similar options on other Legends. We have also decreased the Force of Lady Vera's uncharged Down Scythe, while increasing the Force for the charged version, to provide a more notable difference between the two. Lady Vera is now legal for use in all official tournaments.[/p]

• [p]Lady Vera Side Scythe: Decreased Force of the uncharged Variant from 60 Fixed/52 Variable to 58 Fixed/50 Variable.[/p]
