Hero Adjustments I. Kylin Zhang

• Slightly reduced the airborne height caused by horizontal strikes while his Ultimate is active.
  
• Optimized the timing for canceling charged attacks while Kylin Zhang's Ultimate [Qilin Slash] is active. Moves after each slash can now be canceled in advance.
  
• Optimized the sound effects of the charged attacks [Wrath Slash] under his Ultimate [Qilin Slash: Rend] and optimized how his echo performs when attacked.

//Dev Note: Currently, Kylin Zhang is a bit overpowered in group battles with his Ultimate frequently knocking enemies airborne. Additionally, he often loses sight of his enemies because his attacks send enemies too far away. To improve the experience of playing with and against Kylin Zhang, we have slightly reduced the knockback on his attacks while his Ultimate is active.
II. Tarka Ji

• After activating the Ultimate, the Rage consumed by Tarka Ji's 2nd-stage dodge (elbow strike) attack has been reduced by 20%.

III. Tianhai

• Removed the cooldown on Tianhai's [Jump and Stomp] for all Ultimates. Instead, Tianhai can use [Jump and Stomp] up to 2 times, and can use them one after the other.
  
• Tianhai's [Jump and Stomp] move can now be canceled with a jump.

IV. Yoto Hime

• The damage multipliers of the first 3 strikes of Yoto Hime's Ultimates' have been adjusted from 3.0/3.5/4.0 to 3.5/3.5/3.5. The damage multipliers will remain the same as before (3.0/3.5/4.0) when hitting heroes that have transformed.
  
• The damage multipliers of the final three slashes of Yoto Hime's Ultimate variant [Demon Blade: Combo] have been increased from 2.0/2.0/2.0 to 2.2/2.2/2.2.

V. Kurumi

• The cooldown of Kurumi's Skill variant [Healing Ray: Guard] has been increased from 20 sec to 22 sec.

VI. Matari

• The cooldown of Matari's Skill variant [Flash: Thrust] has been increased from 18 sec to 22 sec.
  
• The damage and recovery multipliers of [Flash: Thrust] while Matari's Ultimate variant [Invisible Assassin: Restore] is active have been reduced. The Skill's damage multiplier has been reduced from 3.5 to 3.0, and the recovery multiplier has been reduced from 2.8 to 2.4.

VII. Lyam Liu

• The cooldown of Lyam Liu's Skill variant [Magnet Repel] has been decreased from 28 sec to 27 sec.
  
• The amount of Rage consumed by each use of [Auric Sword]'s Ultimate Skill in Solo mode has been increased from 20% to 30%. Other modes remain unaffected.
  
• The recovery multiplier of [Auric Sword]'s Ultimate Skill's flash move has been increased from 1.5 to 2.1.

//Dev Note: In Solo mode, Lyam's ability to disengage with [Auric Sword] allows him create opportunities to counterattack a bit too frequently. Thus, we have increased both his Ultimate's rage consumption and the healing effect that it provides in Solo mode to account for this.

Weapon Adjustments I. Fistblades

• Slightly reduced the stagger time caused by the 1st and 2nd stage vertical strikes.
  
• Slightly reduced the stagger time caused by the 2nd stage vertical charged attacks.
  
• Slightly reduced how long the Fistblades' Blue Focus will linger after a charged attack.
  
• Slightly reduced the auto-aim for the Fistblade's airborne horizontal strikes and 2nd stage vertical charged attacks.
  
• Slightly delayed how quickly a player using the Fistblades can start a combo after using a Crouch Attack.
  
• Reduced the damage multiplier of [Cloud Weaver] by 7%.
