# PLAYABLE CHARACTERS
* Character Move Behavior Fixes and Balance Adjustments
– In Ver.3.00.02, we addressed unintended behaviors and made adjustments to Heat Dash combo starters and select Heat-related moves. For Heat-related moves, we focused on moves where the reward was disproportionately high relative to the difficulty of confirming hits and the associated risks.
– The next update is scheduled for release in late May. We will continue our efforts to improve overall battle balance and create a better competitive experience.
# Known Issues
-The bug fixes and move property adjustments implemented in Ver.3.00.02 have affected the Command List and explanatory texts in Special Style, Arcade Quest, and Practice modes, resulting in discrepancies between the displayed information and actual move properties.
– In prioritizing these adjustments, we were unable to address this issue in time, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. This issue is scheduled to be fixed in the next update, planned for release in late May.
– Ver.3.01: Scheduled for late spring 2026
We are currently reviewing priorities while considering fixes for bugs, adjustments to behaviors that result in excessive rewards, and performance tuning centered on the Heat system. Fixes that can be addressed in the short term will be implemented sequentially, while changes with significant impact will be introduced step by step through each update after sufficient verification.
Once another patch is released, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
