Character
Debi & Marlene
We’re improving Debi & Marlene's durability by increasing their defense, addressing the low average score gain they’ve been recording.
Base Defense 50 → 52
Laura
Laura has been struggling to sustain prolonged engagements due to her low durability. We’re enhancing her sustain by increasing her HP recovery when her W - Calling Card hits an enemy.
Calling Card(W)
HP Recovery 30/35/40/45/50(+Skill Amplification 7%) → 30/35/40/45/50(+Skill Amplification 9%)
Lenox
Lenox has been showing strong performance with her crowd control and high damage. To balance this, we’re adjusting the damage of her Q - Recoil.
Recoil(Q)
Edge Additional Damage 3/5/7/9/11% of Lenox’s Max HP → 2/4/6/8/10%
Leon
Tonfa Leon has been underperforming so we’re enhancing his power to make him more competitive.
Skill Amp per Tonfa Mastery Level 4.6% → 4.7%
Lenore
Lenore has been recording relatively low average damage among ranged skill amp characters. To address this, we’re increasing the damage of her core skill, Q - Staccato.
Staccato(Q)
Damage 50/70/90/110/130(+Skill Amplification 60%) → 60/80/100/120/140(+Skill Amplification 60%)
Mai
After changes to her W - Shawl Veil, Mai’s power was toned down but her durability has taken a hit. We’re increasing her damage reduction rate to help her stand her ground more effectively.
Shawl Veil(W)
Damage Taken Reduction 26/27/28/29/30% → 31/32/33/34/35%
Magnus
Magnus has been recording low average score gain. To improve his overall performance, we’re boosting his defense.
Base Defense 45 → 47
Sua
Sua has been showing an excellent performance with high average score gain and win rates, particularly due to her strong HP recovery. We’re reducing the HP recovery of E - Don Quixote to balance this.
Don Quixote(E)
Min HP Recovery 40/50/60/70/80(+Skill Amplification 30%) → 30/40/50/60/70(+Skill Amplification 28%)
Max HP Recovery 60/75/90/105/120(+Skill Amplification 45%) → 45/60/75/90/105(+Skill Amplification 42%)
Memory(R)
Don Quixote(R-E)
Min HP Recovery 60/100/140(+Skill Amplification 30%) → 60/100/140(+Skill Amplification 28%)
Don Quixote(R-E)
Max HP Recovery 90/150/210(+Skill Amplification 45%) → 90/150/210(+Skill Amplification 42%)
Adriana
Adriana has been struggling during early game. She especially struggles to control range so we’re increasing the damage of Q - Flamethrower to reward players who successfully manage her risk-reward playstyle.
Flamethrower(Q)
Damage 10/21/32/43/54(+Skill Amplification 22/24/26/28/30%) → 20/30/40/50/60(+Skill Amplification 22/24/26/28/30%)
Abigail
Abigail has been underperforming recently. To address this, we’re enhancing her weapon mastery effects to boost her overall power.
Skill Amp per Axe Mastery Level 4.2% → 4.4%
Emma
Emma's E - Bunnymorph, combined with her R - Change★, has often left opponents without opportunities to react. We’re reducing the slow effect on targets transformed into bunnies to help it make dodging her skills a bit easier.
Bunnymorph(E)
Bunnymorphed Targets Slow 1.6 → 1.3
Tsubame
Tsubame has seen her power drop significantly after consecutive adjustments. We’re increasing the Target's Max HP scaling of her P - Life and Death Seal to make her more effective against tankier opponents.
Life and Death Seal(P)
Damage 30(+Extra Attack Power 60%)(+Target's Max HP 1/4/7%(+Extra Attack Power 3%)) → 30(+Extra Attack Power 60%)(+Target's Max HP 2/5/8%(+Extra Attack Power 3%))
Cathy
Dagger Cathy has consistently recorded high score gain. We’re reducing her Skill Amplification scaling to balance her performance.
Dagger Skill Amp per Mastery Level 4.4% → 4.2%
Felix
Felix continues to perform well, especially at the highest tiers. Given his exceptional sustain through E - Crescent Wave!, we’re reducing the shield provided by his P - Retail Spearman.
Retail Spearman(P)
Shield per Consumed Stack 10(+Attack Power 55%) → 10(+Attack Power 45%) per Stack
Hart
Hart hasn’t been doing well consistently. As a character reliant on basic attacks, her low attack speed has been limiting her performance, so we’re increasing her attack speed scaling.
Attack speed per Guitar Mastery Level 2.6% → 2.9%
Haze
Haze has been recording really poor stats recently. We’re increasing the damage of her Q - 40mm Grenade to help her out.
40mm Grenade(Q)
Damage 80/110/140/170/200(+Skill Amplification 85%) → 80/115/150/185/220(+Skill Amplification 85%)
