Detailed Adjustments
Result Screen
- The ranking of the stage played this time is now displayed on the left part of the screen. You can check your high score and see at a glance which stage your score is for this time.
Option
- When performing key configuration, the input standby state is now canceled if the corresponding button is not pressed for a certain period of time.
Characters
- Hallow - Echo Time：0.5 sec → 0.66 sec The echo duration has been slightly extended, allowing you to consistently eat bugs within the combo bonus even at the end of the combo route. The adjustment aims to maintain the experience of discerning the combo route and catching in a moment, while reducing stress when you accidentally eat a bug due to combo break.
- Yama & Kitty - Echo Time：2.5 sec → 2.66 sec - Echo gauge charge start time: 0.5 sec. before the end of echo → 1 sec. before the end of echo - Echo gauge charge speed multiplier: 1x → 1.5x Yama & Kitty received many comments about being difficult to handle due to their distinctive performance, so we made their echo easier to accumulate to improve usability. As a result, it's easier to aim when sending Kitty far away as it's easier to spot bugs over a wide range. Also, we slightly extended the echo time and strengthened it to make it easier to simply connect combos.
- Madara - Maximum echo time: approx. 4.8 sec. to 3.5 sec. - Echo gauge charge speed multiplier: 1.5x → 1.75x As for Madara... there was a bug where the gauge consumption speed was unintentionally incorrect, so we made adjustments and corrections to ensure an appropriate echo duration. While the maximum echo duration has significantly decreased from the release time, making it weaker, we have instead quickened the echo recovery time to make it easier to use. The duration is shorter, but the echo duration is still the longest among all bats! There is no change in the characteristic of being able to connect many combos if you accumulate to the maximum.
- Kaguya - Echo absorption: 120% → 100% Kaguya, who made her debut in the Ver.3 update, was adjusted to be a powerful bat. However, we reflected that she might have been a bit too strong, so we lowered the absorption power of the echo and made an adjustment to make it harder to absorb while dashing.
