Welcome to Patch 2.39! In this patch we’re introducing the new Cosmic Chest that was recently discovered on an abandoned road between forgotten worlds. We’re also adding a number of UI Improvements and Balance changes in this patch as we prepare for Season 3!
[h1]New Cosmic Chest![/h1]
[list]
[*]Recently discovered near an edge of the Bifröst, the Cosmic Chest is now available for purchase in Mallhallla. [/*]
[*]The Cosmic Chest comes with three chest exclusives:
[list]
[*]Apex Asuri[/*]
[*]General Vraxx[/*]
[*]Infinitine Wu Shang[/*]
[/list]
[/*]
[*]The chest contains 15 other skins, for 18 Legend Skins total. [/*]
[/list]
[h1]UI Improvements[/h1]
[list]
[*]Inventory screen now supports paging for players who own large amounts of items in a category[/*]
[*]Inventory cursor color has been changed from light blue to yellow to stand out more[/*]
[*]Inventory cursor now snaps to its destination instead of slowly transitioning to it[/*]
[*]Inventory cursor now remembers its last location until the item category is changed or the screen is closed[/*]
[*]Stepping into or changing item categories in the inventory will now trigger the cursor to jump to the currently equipped item on its respective page[/*]
[*]Equipping an item in the inventory will now trigger a feedback animation to make the user action more clear[/*]
[*]Total number of inventory rows has been reduced for each category now that paging has been implemented[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Test Features[/h1]
[list]
[*]Added to Test Features - While Slide Charging a signature in midair, the power can be steered at 40% normal movement speed until the first hitbox or the charge is released.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Controller Support[/h1]
[list]
[*]Added PC support for the PS4 controller using Sony's official DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]New Legend Rotation[/h1]
[list]
[*]Cross is on the free Legend Rotation for the first time! [/*]
[*]This week’s Legend Rotation features Asuri, Azoth, Cassidy, Cross, Jhala, and Orion. [/*]
[/list]
[h1]Balance[/h1]
[i]With Season 3 right around the corner, we have improved the reliability of a number of anti-air Signatures, as well as a few other under-utilized Signature powers.[/i]
[h1]Gauntlets[/h1]
[i]The Gauntlets find a faster Time to Hit on the Recovery attack, which opens it up as a reliable followup attack in several situations, as well as a more reliable attack on airborne opponents.[/i]
[list]
[*]Gauntlets Recovery: Decreased Time to Hit from 10 to 8.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Blasters[/h1]
[i]Intended in Patch 2.38, we are fixing the missing balance change to Blasters Neutral Air.[/i]
[list]
[*]Blasters Neutral Air: Decreased Damage of the shots from 20 & 17 to 18 & 15 (Intended in 2.38)[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Azoth[/h1]
[i]Azoth’s Side Axe has a lengthy total duration that made it hard to find use in play, so we have sped up its overall commitment in the form of some decreased Fixed Recovery.[/i]
[list]
[*]Azoth Side Axe: Decreased Fixed Recovery from 21 to 19.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Brynn[/h1]
[i]Brynn’s Neutral Spear was relatively slow for an anti-air, so we have reduced the Minimum Charge for more reliable use.[/i]
[list]
[*]Brynn Neutral Spear: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 8 to 6.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Diana[/h1]
[i]Much Like Brynn’s Neutral Spear, Diana’s Neutral Bow has a fairly long Time to Hit, so we are speeding this one up as well for use against flighty opponents.[/i]
[list]
[*]Diana Neutral Bow: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 7 to 5.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Ember[/h1]
[i]Ember is seeing a number of buffs to her lesser used kit of Bow Signatures. The increased speed and damage to the kit should make these more desirable options during a fight.[/i]
[list]
[*]Ember Neutral Bow: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 7 to 6; Decreased Time to Hit after charge from 7 to 6.[/*]
[*]Ember Side Bow: Increased Damage from 20 to 23.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Jhala[/h1]
[i]Jhala’s Down Sword has been made into a quicker option to compensate for its relatively small range. With the solid Damage and Force that this attack already commands, it can be a great option in close range or as a dodge punish.[/i]
[list]
[*]Jhala Down Sword: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 10 to 8.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Kor[/h1]
[i]Kor’s under-utilized Hammer Signatures have received faster Minimum Charge as they could be too difficult to use in a fast-paced battle.[/i]
[list]
[*]Kor Down Hammer: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 8 to 6.[/*]
[*]Kor Neutral Hammer: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 8 to 5.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Queen Nai[/h1]
[i]With the theme of improved anti-air attacks, Queen Nai has received reduced Fixed Recovery to her Neutral Spear, lending itself as a more desirable option when fighting airborne opponents.[/i]
[list]
[*]Queen Nai Neutral Spear: Decreased Fixed Recovery from 18 to 16.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Sir Roland[/h1]
[i]Sir Roland’s Neutral Lance has been reduced in overall duration in the form of slightly reduced Minimum Charge time and slightly reduced Fixed Recovery. Mount up and charge into battle![/i]
[list]
[*]Sir Roland Neutral Lance: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 5 to 4; Decreased Fixed Recovery from 15 to 14.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Thatch[/h1]
[i]Thatch’s Down Blasters is a relatively slow Signature, however it is now quicker to fire with a reduced Minimum Charge time, making it easier to work this attack into the tides of battle. [/i]
[list]
[*]Thatch Down Blasters: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 16 to 13.[/*]
[/list]
[h1]Bug Fixes[/h1]
[list]
[*]Fixed a bug that could allow players to be hit after death in very rare cases.[/*]
[*]Fixed a bug that allowed grabs to place players inside team walls that they couldn't normally pass through.[/*]
[*]Fixed bug occasionally causing inventory equipment slot cursor to not visually return to the correct slot when switching between mouse and controller devices.[/*]
[*]Fixed bug causing the equipment token to sometimes display over the wrong item in the collection grid.[/*]
[*]Fixed a bug that would cause the gauntlet's ground pound to sometimes not play the hit react effects on hit.[/*]
[*]Fixed a bug that would cause Azoth's art to not display correctly in his Neutral Axe signature.[/*]
