System Voice Chat You can now chat with your teammates directly in-game! Pls no toxic...

  • The default settings are set to OFF.

  • You can change settings in the Options>Sound Voice Chat ON/OFF option.

  • Seriously. No toxic.

Meta Improvements As we try to solve issues that arise in the early game (like with the Acceleration Influx Perimeter), other issues have popped up and the final restricted areas have been overpopulated on occasion.
We're going to focus a bit on the late-game experience, mainly looking at some characters and HP regen options - along with some other changes.
Larger meta changes like this tend to be more impactful and it's a little bit more challenging for us to correctly predict all the negative situations that might come up. We'll continue monitoring and improving changes and try to push out some improvements in the upcoming patches as well.

Acceleration Influx Perimeter Improvements All Acceleration Influx Perimeters will now be turned off at the start of Day 2. You'll now be able to more easily catch your enemies in the mid and late game. They can't find a lucky straggler AIP!


Combat Pings Combat pings are key for finding enemies, but it also makes it dangerous to fight and you risk getting unluckily third-partied.
Pings caused by fighting will be quieter to reduce the pressure of combat.

  • Pings caused by combat 40m → 35m

  • Pings caused by firearm-type weapons 80m → 70m
Mastery Crafting mastery overlaps with other effects so we'll tone that down. Defense mastery adjustments should also help late-game fights.

  • Crafting Mastery: Item bonus effects 0.7% → 0.5%

  • Defense Mastery: Defense from basic attacks 0.6% → 0.5%
Wild Animals Experience granted from killing Wild Dogs, Wolves, and Bears in the late game has been decreased to tone down the overall strength of super safe farming strategies. Alpha & Omega also now grant some more experience to reward riskier plays.

  • Wild Dog: 200 + 20 per level → 200 + 18 per level

  • Wolf: 200 + 20 per level → 200 + 18 per level

  • Bear: 250 + 25 per level → 250 + 20 per level

  • Alpha: 20 per level → 100 + 20 per level

  • Omega: 20 per level → 200 + 20 per level
LP Low Placement Calibration
LP loss is a little more forgiving if you place low in lower tiers.

  • Solo

    • Iron, Bronze Low Placement 12th place → 8th place

    • Silver Low Placement 13th → 11th

  • Duo

    • Iron, Bronze Low Placement 6th → 4th

    • Silver Low Placement 6th → 5th

  • Squad

    • Iron, Bronze Low Placement 4th → 3rd
Other Improvements

  • Hyperloop arrivals will display differently for arriving enemies/friends.
Ally Hyperloop Arrival


Enemy Hyperloop Arrival


  • Hotkeys for the 2,3,4,5th slot of quick crafting can now be set. (Default X)

Character Character Price Reduction Some characters are now cheaper!


  • Daniel

    • A-coin Price has been reduced. (9,900 → 8,020)


  • Nadine:

    • NP Cost 1075 → 970

    • A-Coin Cost 8020 → 5290

  • Jenny, Hart, and Jackie's costs are set to be reduced on September 30th (KST).

Nathapon
Nathapon shutters at the thought of trying to survive the early game.

  • Max HP 620 → 645

  • HP per Level 61 → 63

Nicky
We're trying to get special items and things with effects for each character, but Nicky doesn't really have any yet. This should help make up for that a bit.

  • Attack Power per Level 2.4 → 2.7

Daniel
Daniel's strength is still hiding in the shadows, even after players have started to figure him out. This should help him out.

  • Base Attack Speed 0.05 → 0.07

  • Dusk Shears (Q)

    • Cooldown 12s → 14/13/12/11/10s

  • Inspiration (W)

    • Damage Stored: 12/14/16/18/20% → 12/14.5/17/19.5/22%

    • Can now be Inspired by characters that are immune to debuffs. However, the mark explosion will not deal damage if the target is immune to debuffs or untargetable.

  • Masterpiece (R)

    • Cooldown 100/80/60s → 100/70/40s

    • There is now a short cooldown between the first & second hit. (For all the button mashers)

Rozzi
Rozzi is strange. I guess that's why she's called the Enigma. She's pretty consistently outdueling other characters in situations where it should be more of a 50/50. This should help bring her back in line a bit.

  • HP per Level 60 → 58

  • Defense per Level 1.9 → 1.6

  • Flutter (W)

    • Healing Reduction 45% → 30%

  • Gun Vault (E)

    • Cooldown 18/16/14/12/10s → 18/16.5/15/13.5/12s

Li Dailin
Despite the dedicated Dailin players, she's a little weak even in the hands of experts. This should help a touch.

  • Base Attack Speed 0.07 → 0.1

  • Striking Tiger (R)

    • Damage per Hit: 25/55/85(+Attack Power 15%) → 40/70/100(+Attack Power 20%)

Rio
Fleeting Soul has a bit more utility and can now be used more strategically. However, Rio was showing pretty strong in the data, so we're adjusting her main weapon, Ancient Bolt.

  • Fleeting Soul (Hankyu R) will be split into two attacks. The first attack will fire multiple arrows. Reactivate to fire an arrow that knocks back enemies.



Bernice
Bernice was buffed 2 patches ago but following some changes in the last patch, he became even stronger. This should bring him back in line.

  • Base Movement Speed 3.25 → 3.2

  • Buckshot (Passive)

    • Reload Time: 1.8/1.3/0.8s → 1.8/1.4/1.0s



  • Falconry (E)

    • Movement Speed Increase 12/14/16/18/20% → 8/10/12/14/16%

    • Cooldown 14/12/10/8/6s → 18/16/14/12/10s

Xiukai
The Juggernaut Chef is just that in the late game - a juggernaut. This should help.

  • Wok It Off (E)

    • Cooldown 20/18/16/14/12s → 22/20/18/16/14s

Adriana
Adriana with Extra Skill Damage items was a bit too hot to handle.

  • Pyromaniac (Passive)

    • 1 Hit every 0.5s → 1 Hit every 0.56s

Adela
Promotion adjustments should allow Adela to better plan her next Queen.

  • Promotion (Q)'s Cooldown is changed to start before the casting time (0.23s).

Isol
We're nerfing Isol's mobility but giving him more map control with MOK Operational Mine (R).

  • Semtex Bomb (Q)

    • Bonus Damage per Stack: 8/12/16/20/24(+Attack Power 20%) → 8/12/16/20/24(+Attack Power 15%)

  • Camouflage (E)

    • Range 4m → 3m

  • MOK Operational Mine (R)

    • Max Installation Limit: 1 → 2

    • Damage: 150/225/300(+Attack Power 30%) → 125/175/225(+Attack Power 30%)

Alex
Just allowing Alex to call in EMP Barrages a touch more often.

  • EMP Barrage (R)

    • Cooldown 140/130/120s → 130/120/110s

Jan
Jan's success has been shown to be matchup based, with him usually coming out on top in particular situations. We're adjusting him a bit to give his enemies some outplay potential.

  • Unyielding (Passive)

    • Cooldown Reduction 10/25/40% → 10/20/30%

  • Knee Strike (Q)

    • Cooldown 13/12/11/10/9s → 12/11/10/9/8s

  • Leaping Knee (Q2)

    • Damage: 85/110/135/160/185(+Attack Power 45%) → 65/95/125/155/185(+Attack Power 45%)

  • Bob and Weave (E)

    • Range 2.5m → 3m

    • Cooldown 18/16/14/12/10s → 17/15/13/11/9s

  • The Tetragon (R)

    • Slow 70% → 60%

William
No Hitter can now spawn balls in more preferable places.

  • If there is an obstacle where a No Hitter (P) ball will spawn, the ball can now spawn beyond the obstacle. (In range of Sliding Catch (E))



Eleven
More of a reward for enhancing her skills!

  • Food For Thought (W)

    • Damage reduction when fully charged 15% → 25%

Eva
Oof ouchie that laser hurts. This should stop Eva from totally spamming the VF Eruption.

  • VF gain for VF Bead (P) will now only happen when out of combat.

  • Amethyst Flow (E)

    • Range 2.5m → 3m

    • Amethyst Flow (E) changed from a teleport to a dash, resulting in some differences when passing through obstacles.

    • To summarize, the range for jumping through obstacles is shorter while the range on passable terrain is longer.

    • Cooldown 8/7/6/5/4s → 9/8/7/6/5s



Yuki
Yuki is landing pretty well in high elo due to his sustainability.

  • HP per Level 75 → 71

  • Defense per Level 2.3 → 1.9

Jackie
Jackie's chase buff! Jackie's escape nerf!

  • Adrenaline Burst (W)

    • Extra Damage for bleeding enemy: Attack Power 10/13/16/19/22% → 12/16/20/24/28%

    • Initial Movement Speed Bonus 5/7/9/11/13% → 5/6/7/8/9%

    • Additional Movement Speed (Moving towards bleeding enemy) 3/4/5/6/7% → 3/5.5/8/10.5/13%

    • Cooldown 20/18/16/14/12s → 21/19/17/15/13s

    • Slow on bleeding enemies 45% → 50%

  • Garde (R) - Does not activate when attacking summons (Traps, cameras etc.)

Mode Balancing Team Mode Damage Adjustments Adriana still has a huge presence in team modes due to her initiation and area control. We're planning some improvements to Adriana to adjust some of this, but we plan to tone her down via team mode adjustments for now.
Views on balance differ hugely from tier to tier and region to region. An entire character would be rated totally different among tiers. This gap also presents itself in competitive levels, such as official duo tournaments that we hold.
From now on, we're going to take a deeper look at adjustments to team modes while also improving unique issues caused in team modes - starting with Adriana.
