Battle and Character Adjustments
System-Wide
- Summary of Changes
- In Version 2.50, we’ve refined the performance and properties of a wide range of actions to address certain options that were overused and improve overall balance.
Our adjustments were centered on three key areas:
– Enhancing underutilized skills
– Increasing the utility and combo potential of normal attacks
– Streamlining strategic choices in neutral
Collectively, these updates were designed to broaden each character’s strategic depth and support a wider variety of play styles.
There are also character-specific changes as well, which you can view in their entirety to see who got nerfed and buffed.
