Servers will be temporarily offline for an estimated time of 4 hours on Thursday, September 4th from 2 AM to 6 AM (UTC) to update Patch 8.5.

New Character - Henry

Shuriken-wielding Henry is joining the experiment!

Henry will be available for 9,900 A-Coin for two weeks after launch and will not be available in Ranked matches until September 9th.

"Have you ever longed to go back in time?"

Time Fracture (P)

When Henry deals damage equal to 35% of the Target's Max HP within 2.5 seconds to an enemy character, he attaches a timer to them. After 2 seconds, the timer explodes, dealing 40/70/100(+Skill Amplification 30%)(+Target's Lost HP 8/12/16%) skill damage.

If the enemy with the timer attached dies before taking damage, the cooldown is reduced by 80%.

• Cooldown: 12/10/8s

Clock Hands (Q)

Henry throws the minute hand in the targeted direction, dealing 40/65/90/115/140(+Skill Amplification 60%) skill damage to enemies in its path. Immobilized targets hit take 10(+Henry Level* 1) additional true damage.

Can be recast within 3 seconds.

Recast: Henry throws the hour hand in the targeted direction, dealing 60/85/110/135/160(+Skill Amplification 65%)(+Target's Max HP 5%) skill damage. Immobilized targets hit take 20(+Henry Level* 2) additional true damage.

From the second enemy hit, each skill deals 70% damage.

• Minute Hand (Q1)

  • Range: 7.8m

  • Projectile Width: 1.4m

  • Projectile Speed: 17m/s

• Hour Hand (Q2)

  • Range: 8.5m

  • Projectile Width: 1.8m

  • Projectile Speed: 14m/s

• SP Cost: 40

• Cooldown: 9/8/7/6/5s

 

Chronograph (W)

Henry creates a Chronograph at the targeted location that lasts for 4 seconds. Enemies standing on it take 10/20/30/40/50(+Skill Amplification 20%)(+1/1/2/2/3% of Target's Max HP) skill damage every 0.5 seconds and are slowed by 25%.

Hitting an Enemy Character or Boss Monster reduces the cooldown by 5%.

If the teleportation from Time Jump lands him on a Chronograph, the duration of the Chronograph is extended by 1 second.

• Range: 6.3m

• Damage Area: Circular Radius 2.5m

• Cooldown: 14/13.5/13/12.5/12s

• SP Cost: 60

Time Jump (E)

Henry channels for 0.7 seconds and rapidly rewinds time to teleport to the targeted location.

If he lands on a Chronograph, enemies standing on it are rooted for 0.8 seconds and take 40/80/120/160/200(+Skill Amplification 60%) skill damage. If he lands when an enemy character is standing on it, Henry’s movement speed increases by 40% for 2 seconds, decaying over time.

When he starts teleporting, the cooldown of Clock Hands is reduced by 40% and Chronograph by  20%.

• Range: 6.3m

• Cooldown: 13/12.5/12/11.5/11s

• SP Cost: 50

Chrono Field (R)

Henry becomes immune to crowd control and generates a field around himself for 1.5 seconds, dealing 100/150/200(+Skill Amplification 50%) skill damage, and gaining a shield that absorbs 50/100/150(+Skill Amplification 35%)(+Max HP 8%) damage.

While the field remains, enemies are slowed over time down to 40% and their projectiles are slowed by 80%. After the field explodes, destroying projectiles inside, dealing 150/250/350(+Skill Amplification 100%) skill damage to enemies and stunning them for 0.8 seconds.

• Damage Area: Circular Radius 4.5m

• Cooldown: 80/70/60s

• SP Cost: 100

Gameplay

Objectives Spawn Point Adjustments 

We’re adjusting Tree of Life, Meteorite, Alpha, Omega, Rift, Air Supplies' spawn points to keep them from spawning too close to each other, as well as to improve consistency in objective locations. 

• Important objectives like Tree of Life, Meteorite, Alpha, Omega, Rift, Air Supplies will no longer spawn in the same area at the same time. 
  • However, if there are no empty spots they might rarely. 

Air Supplies and Meteorites no longer spawn extremely close to other objectives.

• Air Supplies no longer spawn extremely close to Hotel, Cemetery’s Tree of Life.
  • We’re moving the air supply further away from Tree of Life.

• Meteorite is back in Hospital.

  • Meteorite location example

Materials Adjustments per Spawn Point

We’re increasing the minimum number of materials included in item boxes near spawn points, reducing the chance of failing to find materials early on.

• 1 → 2: Laser Pointer, Chalk, Playing Cards, Ice

Characters

Nadine

Nadine struggles to stay stable in fights due to her low durability relative to her short range. We’re increasing her base HP so she can stack damage more reliably. 

Additionally, Bow Nadine has been very weak so we’re increasing her W – Squirrel Trap’s damage to help her out.

• Base HP 880 → 930

• Squirrel Trap(W)

  • Damage 80/120/160/200/240(+Extra Attack Power 100%)(+Skill Amplification 75%) → 80/120/160/200/240(+Extra Attack Power 100%)(+Skill Amplification 80%)

Nathapon

We’re reducing the Picturesque damage increase from P – Slow Shutter to rein in his overall damage.

• Slow Shutter(P)

  • Damage Taken Increase per Picturesque Stack 4/7/10% → 3/6/9%

NiaH

Last patch enhanced her overall combat ability, but there’s still room to improve survivability. We’re extending the movement speed duration on successful E – 1UP so she can escape dangerous situations more reliably.

• 1UP (E)

  • Movement Speed Increase Duration 1.5s → 2s

Darko

He has a consistently high pick rate and shows excessive survivability with defensive builds. We’re reducing the shield of W – Got My Money? to curb his excessive tanking.

• Got My Money?(W)

  • Shield 50/75/100/125/150(+Attack Power50%) → 50/75/100/125/150(+Attack Power55%)

  • On Hit Additional Shield Max HP 7% → 6%

Tia

Since Tia’s stats have remained strong, we’re slightly reducing her weapon mastery effect to adjust her overall performance.

• Skill Amp per Bat Mastery Level 4.5% → 4.4%

Lenox

As a tank who’s meant to deal some damage, her average damage is currently too low. We’re increasing the edge damage of Q – Recoil so well-landed casts feel more threatening.

• Recoil(Q)

  • Edge Damage Max HP 2/4/6/8/10% → 3/5/7/9/11%

Li Dailin

When Li Dailin uses her skills well she has a high durability and deals burst damage, which has helped her strong performance. We’re reducing the damage reduction of W – Drink Up and the damage of E – Bottom Shelf to keep both her durability and damage in check.

• Drink Up (W)

  • Damage Taken Reduction 55/60/65/70/75% → 50/55/60/65/70%

• Bottom Shelf(E)

  • Damage 80/130/180/230/280(+Attack Power90%) → 50/100/150/200/250(+Attack Power90%)

Markus

We’re enhancing the collision stun from P – Warrior’s Grit so he can perform better in skirmishes when used effectively.

• Warrior's Grit(P)

  • Collision Stunned Duration 0.5s → 0.6s

Magnus

Magnus is currently super strong due to his ability to safely engage in fights and his durability. We’re reducing the defense increase from P – Tough Body to lower his durability.

• Tough Body(P)

  • Defense Increase per Stack 1/2/3% → 1.5/2/2.5%

Vanya

We’re increasing her durability to address her low metrics at higher tiers.

• Base HP 890 → 930

Barbara

Q – BT Sentry Gun Mk.II has been too strong against melee opponents due to its high durability and damage. We’re reducing both so opponents have real options to destroy it or ignore it.

• BT Sentry Gun Mk.II(Q)

  • Sentry Gun Basic Attack Damage 40/50/60/70/80(+Skill Amplification 20%) → 30/40/50/60/70(+Skill Amplification 20%)

  • Sentry Gun Defense 85 → 80

Charlotte

She shows low metrics in most tiers, so we’re enhancing her weapon mastery effect to raise her overall power.

• Skill Amp per Arcana Mastery Level 4.2% → 4.4%

Sua

Sua hasn’t shown the expected strength in close combat. We’re increasing the on-hit cooldown reduction of E – Don Quixote to improve her melee power.

• Don Quixote(E)

  • On-Hit Cooldown Reduction 25% → 30%

  • Also applies to Memory of Don Quixote(R-E).

Xuelin

Although her average damage has been reduced, Xuelin’s mobility still helps her metrics high. We’re reducing the E – TFTH cooldown reduction granted when retrieving the sword with Q – Flying Sword to tune that mobility.

• Flying Sword(Q)

  • Upon Retrieval TFTH Cooldown Reduction 70% → 60%

Sissela

Sissela’s impact in fights has been lacking. We’re raising her base defense and increasing the damage of E – Play With Us! to bolster survivability and threat on hit.

• Base Defense 47 → 49

• Play With Us!(E)

  • Damage 90/110/130/150/170(+Skill Amplification 60%) → 90/110/130/150/170(+Skill Amplification 70%)

Silvia

Silvia’s average score gain rate is very high. We’re reducing the damage of W – Front Flip to curb burst from combos.

• Front Flip (On Bike W)

  • Damage 60/100/140/180/220(+Skill Amplification 65%) → 60/100/140/180/220(+Skill Amplification 60%)

Adriana

Adriana’s too weak in sustained fights. We’re reducing the cooldown of Q – Flamethrower to support sustained melee combat.

• Flamethrower(Q)

  • Cooldown 4.5s → 4s

Abigail

Abigail’s showing very low metrics. We’re reducing the cooldown of Q – Binary Spin to enhance her overall power.

• Binary Spin(Q)

  • Cooldown 8/7/6/5/4s → 7/6/5/4/3s

Aya

We’re reducing the attack speed requirement of W – Steady Shot so that Skill Amplification builds can benefit from the bullet increase effect more smoothly even at low weapon mastery.

• Steady Shot(W)

  • Bullets Increased per 25% Additional Attack Speed → 20%

Isol

Isol currently shows a strong performance thanks to his high burst damage. We’re reducing the damage of Q – Semtex Bomb to reduce his burst potential.

• Semtex Bomb(Q)

  • Additional Damage 10/15/20/25/30(+Attack Power9%)(+Skill Amplification 5%) → 10/15/20/25/30(+Attack Power7%)(+Skill Amplification 4%)

Jan

Tonfa Jan has a high pick rate and shows a quite stable growth performance. We’re reducing the skill amplification ratio of Q2 – Leaping Knee to rein in his power.

• Knee Strike(Q)

  • Leaping Knee(Q2) Damage 65/90/115/140/165(+Extra Attack Power 90%)(+Skill Amplification 80%)(+Target's Max HP 6%) → 65/90/115/140/165(+Extra Attack Power 90%)(+Skill Amplification 70%)(+Target's Max HP 6%)

Johann

We’re increasing his defense per level to improve his durability.

William

We’re expanding the pickup range of the baseball when using E – Sliding Catch.

• Sliding Catch(E)

  • Baseball area where the skill is usable will be increased. (Same as the movement point)

  • Wind Zone Damage 50/70/90/110/130(+Skill Amplification 40%) → 40/60/80/100/120(+Skill Amplification 40%)

Irem

Irem has been showing a strong performance among top tiers. We’re reducing her base HP to reduce overall survivability.

• Base HP 990 → 930

Eleven

Eleven’s outstanding mobility has helped her keep a strong performance during battles. We’re reducing the taunt duration of W – Food For Thought to adjust her combat strength.

• Food For Thought(W)

  • Min Taunted Duration 0.45/0.55/0.65/0.75/0.85s → 0.4/0.5/0.6/0.7/0.8s

  • Max Taunted Duration 0.9/1.1/1.3/1.5/1.7s → 0.8/1/1.2/1.4/1.6s

Jenny

Jenny’s showing a low pick rate so we’re increasing her weapon mastery effect to improve her performance.

• Skill Amp per Pistol Mastery Level 4.4% → 4.6%

Katja

  • Attack Speed Increase 30/35/40/45/50% → 20/25/30/35/40%

  • Consecutive Damage 50/60/70(+Skill Amplification 25%) → 60/70/80(+Skill Amplification 25%)

  • HP Recovery 7/11/15(+Skill Amplification 4%) → 10/15/20(+Skill Amplification 5%)

• Fente(Q)

  • Edge Slow 30% → 40%

  • SMG Burst(E-Q)

    • Damage 40/80/120/160/200(+Skill Amplification 70%)(+Remaining Bullets 1 * Skill Amplification 3%) → 40/80/120/160/200(+Skill Amplification 65%)(+Remaining Bullets 1 * Skill Amplification 3%)

Additional 8.2 Patch Notes

We had applied Normal Matches MMR changes during our July 24th (8.2) patch, but these were not included in our patch notes back then, so please check the information below:.

MMR Changes in Normal Matches

We’re improving matchmaking so that high-tier players do not end up matched in lower tiers simply because their MMR was reduced due to factors like pre-made teams.

• Based on the rank tier achieved in the regular season, MMR in Normal Matches will not drop below a certain range.

• This MMR lower cap applies to Normal Matches and Cobalt Protocol.

• Lone Wolf mode is not affected by the MMR lower cap.
