Okay. Anyway!
Couple interesting balance changes today in this patch - new base speed tiers for strikers as forwards/midfield/goalies and stuff like that. I’m also working on a couple small tiny baby reworks to some awakenings if it’s possible for the future. I don’t even know if it actually is possible but hey you never know!
Also, shouts out to the 4 players who were randomly selected to help put this patch together!! They are Goomy, FudgyWaffles, SwiftDeity, and Hekuria/MrWolf.
Shouts out to them.
Alright let’s get started!


STRIKERS
AtlasWhile you were out eating shrimp with the wimps, Atlas was feasting with the beasts in the goal arc. Small change to his primary and base speed should satiate his appetite. Base StatsSpeed : 440 → 435Astral Projection Cooldown :: 8.5s → 9sDrek’arLower on the pick rate of tiers and only pretty good with a small subset of people, Drek could use a little lizard love.Xeno Cloak Cooldown :: 12s → 11sEstelleSpeed tier adjustmentBase Stats Speed :: 445→ 450FiniiFinii is just kinda weak in pretty much every tier. Plus she’s getting a plush so I have to give her a faux mascot buff, right?Base StatsSpeed :: 465 → 460Triple Take Damage Taken By Enemies buff :: 20 → 25%JulietteSpeed tier adjustmentBase Stats Speed :: 460 → 450JunoJumping around all over the place and smashing red cores instantly in OT made Juno a little annoying to play against. This should tune her down a touch.Base StatsSpeed :: 460 → 455Stagger Growth :: 450 → 375KaiSpeed tier adjustmentBase Stats Speed :: 465 → 460KazanThere’s a small slice of players that are really good with Kazan, but outside of that, he’s like really bad elsewhere. This change should affect those good players less than the rest.Base StatsSpeed :: 440 → 445Power :: 90 → 95LunaSpeed tier adjustmentBase Stats Speed :: 460 → 455MakoMako is a really good goalie in a lot of tiers, a weak forward everywhere. Tuning down her damage a touch to stop those across map million damage shots. She’s on my radar for a small rework if possible, but we’ll see how that goes. Perfect Pitch Projectile Damage / Knockback :: 105 + 52.5% ⇾ 103 + 51.5% powerOctaviaSpeed tier adjustmentBase Stats Speed :: 475 → 465RasmusHe was in a mostly good place but could just use a little bit of love.Whiplash Duration :: 2.25s → 2.5s RuneSpeed tier adjustmentBase Stats Speed :: 465→ 450VyceSmall tweak to Vyce. Her “damage” tool is doing less than her “movement” tool. Power Chord Damage / Knockback :: 175 + 87.5% → 180 + 90%Thunderstruck Cooldown :: 12s → 13sXTiniest adjustment of all time to keep X from going too insane with new speeds.Base StatsPower :: 125 → 120ZentaroThe standard is the standard.Base StatsSpeed :: 460 → 450Oni’s Blade Cooldown :: 40s → 35s

MAPS AND MODES
I’m considering making map rotation a weekly thing, i.e. changing 1 map each week. Lmk if you like this idea.
Rotated In: Oni Village, Clarion Corp

AWAKENINGS

Also it was still giving 25% movement speed despite the tooltip saying 22%! My bad hehe. Mag Soles is on my radar for an adjustment as well. I was thinking of giving it an ICD so you can’t just straddle the midfield line for the speed boost. Duration :: 2s → 1.25sSpeed: 25% → 21% MonumentalistMonu is doing pretty well on people with creations if you can believe it. Even Juliette had a 66% win rate with it.

Orb benefits shared to allies :: 50% → 75%Strike ShotStrike Shot is overperforming a bit compared to the other goalie gear. It’s also on my radar for a small rework. Perhaps making the strike shot projectile unaffected by projectile range increases or having it start on CD. Idk we’ll seeCooldown :: 9s → 11.5s Perfect FormMaking Perfect Form a little less perfect.
