About upcoming balance updates

Hello everyone,

In the following week or the next, we will be applying below balance changes.
This update will be shortly followed by a new content update patch which would introduce the new character class, Strider.

Common changes

• The distance that a player can travel in the air by dashing after wall jumping has been decreased.
• Resolved the bug in which characters that are knocked up in the air or knocked down on ground not getting 50% reduced damage from flame thrower and grenade launcher.
• Player characters can no longer shoot while on boost run status. (Firing ranged weapon will cancel boost run)
• Flipping (knocking up) now keeps targets in the air slightly longer than before.
• Continuous dashing motion is now smoother and dash-jumping distance has been increased.
• Added new character animation/motion for when getting attacked in mid-air.
• Player characters now receive super armor status when rising up from the ground and take only 50% damage when attacked while rising up.
• Player characters now take 50% reduced damage while in bash motion.
• Getting knocked up again in mid-air now won’t get the target as high as before.
