BALANCING CHANGES GLOBAL STAMINA DAMAGE CHANGES: The following attacks will no longer deal stamina damage or pause stamina regeneration: AFEERA: Heat Death ARAMUSHA: Push Back Kick BLACK PRIOR: Horizon Spin Tenebris Rising Hawk's Charge CENTURION: Legion Kick Jab (un/charged) Parry Counter Lion's Roar (all hits) CONQUEROR: Charging Shield Crush GLADIATOR: Bamboozle Zone (1st hit) Counter Jab Sucker Punch Skewer Wall Stagger Follow Up GRYPHON: Gryphon's Shove Veteran's Kick JIANG JUN: Mighty Kick DID NOT change Dou Shi's Choke. JORMUNGANDR: Jotunn Gift KENSEI: Pommel Strike KYOSHIN: Aoarashi Sajin- Arashi NOBUSHI: Kick RAIDER: Stampede Charge (from Sprint) & Wall Stagger Follow Up SHAMAN: Predator's Hunger Predator's Mercy WARDEN: Shoulder Bash (un/charged) WARLORD: Headbutt / Headbutt Riposte Shield Counter Crashing Charge (from Sprint) & Wall Stagger Follow Up WARMONGER: Preying Claw (un/charged) ZHANHU: Subduing Blow EXCEPTIONS: All Heroes' Throws Jiang Jun's Dou Shi's Choke Raider's Controlled Throw \ This is the continuation of ongoing improvements across the cast. We want to stay away from mechanics that prevent player actions or favors inaction. However, we didn't target Throws with these changes, so every Hero still has a way to deplete a low stamina opponent if the opportunity presents itself. As for the other exceptions, we will monitor their performance and adjust in the future if needed.KHATUN:Khatun can now follow a successful Deflect with Frightful Kick by pressing Guardbreak.Ultimate Authority Hit Recovery has been reduced from 700 to 600ms to leave Khatun frame advantaged on hit.Relentless Peace Hit Recovery has been reduced from 1700 to 1600ms to leave Khatun frame neutral on hit.\We want to address some of the main concerns Khatuns face without over-compensating and making the Hero too strong.First - Kathun will now be able to Frightful Kick from Deflect. This will give players a clear option against chain attacks with uninterruptible stance.Second - Ultimate Authority now ends with Khatun in frame advantage, allowing them to continue their offense after landing it. As for Restless Peace, it is now frame neutral (it used to leave Khatun at a disadvantage).With these changes, Khatuns should still think about which outcome they want without feeling too penalized for it.PIRATE:Cavalier Dance now only has 166ms parry window.The new parry window is from 400ms to 566ms (instead of 400 to 600)Note that the LAST frame before the hit was removed. Not the first one.Walk the Plank now only has 166ms parry window.The new parry window is from 566ms to 733ms (instead of 566 to 766)Note that the LAST frame before the hit was removed. Not the first one.\At the highest level, Cavalier Dance & Walk the Plank are not effective at opening the opponent's guard, as players can react to them (and their feints) earlier than expected. The goal behind this change is to test if this approach can resolve the issue. By removing the last frame of parry, it should make it an even playing field for players of all levels.If this change does not work, we will look at other avenues, such as polishing or reworking the animation.SHAOLIN:Sun Sweep no longer chains on Miss.Sun Sweep Miss Recovery has been reduced from 800 to 600ms.\Shaolin is overperforming. Sun Sweep should now be more risky to perform when not feinted. To compensate, the opponent won't be able to Dodge into Guardbreak as a punish.SHUGOKI:Headbutt (from Chain & Front Dodge) no longer chains on Miss.Headbutt (Front Dodge) Miss recovery has been reduced from 700ms to 600ms.\Shugoki is also overperforming. With this change, a good read by the opponent will allow them to go on offense instead of risking losing to the chain armor attacks. To compensate, the opponent won't be able to Dodge into Guardbreak as a punish.KYOSHIN:Light Finishers are no longer undodgeable.Light Finishers damage has been reduced from 16 to 14 damage.\Kyoshin is overperforming, more so at low levels. We reduced the damage on Light Finishers to be more in line with the rest of the cast. In addition, by removing the undodgeable property on Light Finishers, Kyoshin's will have to rely more on Heavy Finishers to prevent opponents from dodging. This will slow the pace of the fight slightly and reduce the incentive to rely only on quick Light attacks.SHAMAN:Improved the trajectory of numerous attacks to match with the improved animations:Light Openers, Chains & FinishersHeavy Openers & FinishersWild Cat's PounceZone AttackPredator's MercyWild Cat's SwiftnessThe following attacks will hit external enemies at a slightly different timing:Top Light Opener: Now hits at 433ms from 400msRight Light Opener: Now hits at 433ms from 400msTop Light Chain: Now hits at 433ms from 400msLeft Light Chain: Now hits at 433ms from 400msTop Heavy Finisher: Now hits at 733ms from 700msLeft Heavy Finisher: Now hits at 800ms from 966msRight Heavy Finisher: Now hits at 733ms from 700msZone Attack 1st hit: Now hits at 433ms from 466msZone Attack 2nd hit: Now hits at 200ms from 166msWild Cat's Swiftness Left: Now hits at 466ms from 433ms\Shaman is doing okay, but their attacks have very little reach. We improved the animations so we could give these attacks slightly more reach, helping Shamans be more impactful in teamfights.BUG FIXESHeroes\ Fixed an issue that caused that the player receives unnecessary fire damage in second adventure of "The Crimson Offensive"\ Fixed an issue where; the AoE circle are missing when enemies are afflicted by the poison of Warmonger's 1st and 4th feat.\ Fixed an issue where; the patterns are misaligned on Aramusha's Gyoukei Chest.\ Fixed an issue where; the Berserker has smaller eyes with Asmundar and Rikiwulf helms\ Fixed an issue where; the Alternate Gladiator has wrong thigh positionning on Horkos Throne\ Fixed an issue where; Kyoshin's Kihaku Chest Back doesn't take Colors and Paint Patterns on a cloth piece\ Fixed an issue that caused Warmonger's Breach of Prey attacks to be harder to dodge than intended, and that caused them to hit earlier than intended.\ Fixed an issue where; the embossings don't cover entirely; the Sohei's left arm shoulder pad.Maps\ Fixed two separate issues in Market Town where Players could access Out-of-Bounds areas.Ubisoft Connect\ Fixed an issue where The game description in the Ubisoft Connect app page is written in English when using Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified interface language.
