Patch Notes for Nov. 6th

Character Optimizations & Fixes

• Optimized certain Talent effects — the damage increase effect is no longer diluted by Potential multipliers, and some damage values have been adjusted.

• Optimized Ragna’s Talent — when Prototype's HP decreases, skill damage increases by a fixed ratio without requiring stacking.

• Optimized Hakumen’s Talent — after Prototype taking damage or blocking, the character now enters Super Armor state and gains increased attack damage.

• Optimized Hibiki’s Talent — back attacks now grant a damage increase effect, and attacks no longer force enemies to turn around.

• Optimized Taokaka’s Talent — the higher the combo count, the greater the damage.

• Fixed several issues with Hibiki, optimized some Potential effects, and added new hidden Potential effects.

• Adjusted Mai’s base damage for certain moves. Her [Aerial Attack] and [Dash] gain increased damage when their hidden effects are unlocked.

• Modified Mai’s [Exseal] input window — diagonal throws now correspond intuitively to up/down directional inputs, with faster angle transitions and the ability to chain throws continuously.

• Added hidden effect for Mai’s [Exseal] — higher charge levels increase damage, and an additional charge level is gained immediately.

• Added hidden effect for Mai’s [Exseal] — while performing an aerial horizontal throw, pressing the special key allows the spear to auto-track enemies.

• Added hidden effect for Mai’s [Maple Gust] — reduced MP cost, and within the tornado range, [Moon Blossom] can be used without limit.

• Fixed an issue where Mai’s and Flurry of the Winter Moon] caused abnormal enemy behavior upon hit.
