1.45.0 Patch Note

Hello, StormStriker players!

Here is the information regarding the 1.45 Update (25.04.17).

Overall Balance Adjustment Direction

Shifu

• Intent

  • We determined that Shifu’s damage feedback was low compared to his sustain, so we slightly increased his damage.

• Thunder Stamp

  • Damage 140 → 170

• Thunder Dragon Slash

  • Damage 140 → 170

• Dragon Stamp

  • Damage 140 → 170

• Dragon Kick

  • Damage 110 / 110 → 130 / 130

  • Cooldown 9s → 7s

Maximus

• Intent

  • Maximus had superior offensive capabilities compared to other tank roles, so we slightly reduced his damage and slightly increased his sustain.

• Enforcement of Order

  • Damage 110 → 100

• Verdict!

  • Damage 330 → 300

• Ironblood Retribution

  • Damage 110 → 100

• Expel Injustice

  • Damage 110 → 100

Raki

• Intent

  • Compared to Rei’s 1.2s 315 damage, Raki’s LMB had significantly lower DPS. We reduced the interval from 0.25s to 0.2s, slightly increasing to 1.2s 180 DPS. RMB has been redesigned to have inner and outer range hitboxes, like Lucy’s LMB. This way, beginner players can hit more reliably, though at lower damage than intended. Advanced players will need to get closer and aim more precisely to achieve the intended damage.

• Kitty Rush

  • Preset to E key by default

Rei

• Intent

  • We reduced the charge time of *Arctic Spike* by 25%, allowing higher DPS than just using LMB alone.

Electra

• Intent

  • We significantly improved the usability of Electra’s LMB. With longer range and faster projectile speed, she will be stronger at healing allies. *Encroaching Thorns* and *Land of Delight* can now be used with Blood Well gauge, and *Land of Delight* also gains a cleansing effect to remove CC effects from allies. *Ecstatic Sphere* will return later with improved animation and motion to better fit the character concept.

Narae

• Intent

  • Added HUD indicator to show the target of *Divine Energy* for better clarity.

• Divine Energy
