CyberConnect2 has pushed out Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections update 1.21 (PS5 version 1.002.001), which brings improvements and stability to online play. Don’t expect any new content from this, as we just got the DLC character drop last week.
Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Update 1.21 Patch Notes:
PS5 Update Version 1.002.001
Nothing much is in this patch except for the folllowing according to the devs:
- – Matching improvements
Yep, that’s the only changelog we got for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch versions.
Don’t forget to check out last week’s title update as that one brought in a host of gameplay and combat changes alongside the new DLC.
Curious what some of the changes were from last week’s patch? We’ve included the combat balance adjustments, which is just the tip of the iceberg.
Battle Balance Adjustments
Overall battle adjustments:
- We have delayed the timing for granting priority to direct attack-type ninjutsu in general.
Priority is an indicator that determines which attack will win when two attacks collide. - High priority attack judgment will now occur when a Leader Change attack hits, or when a Leader Change is performed during an air combo.
- Increased the recovery speed of the support gauge after a leader change.
- Adjusted the recovery speed of the support gauge after activating a support ninjutsu.
- Increased the recovery speed of the support gauge when in a two-man cell.
- Reduced the time it takes for the transformation gauge to start recovering.
- Leader switching is now disabled while preparing for a counter.
- Slowed down the natural recovery rate of the chakra gauge while jumping or performing a ninja move.
- Increased the natural recovery speed of the chakra gauge during attacks.
- Increased the stun time when a Guard Break Attack hits.
- Reduced the poison effect of the Ninja tool “Poison Tag.”
