12K View2021-11-24

Dear Party Players!

We will have a temporary maintenance from 16:00 to 19:00 (GMT+8)

Here are the details:

[New Content]

"""Sands will always glow.""

1. Added new hero: Sandy

- Sandy's Stickers and Emoji x will be launched the same time as the hero.

- Sandy can be obtained through opening chests.

2. Added new game mode: Soccer Mode

- Unlocked at Star Pass after having a total of 150 stars.

3. Brand new combat mechanism: Shield, Grab-and-throw, Air Dodge (Visit Flash Diaries #164 | Combat Mechanism Differences - Before and After Adjustments for details)

4. New system: Friend List and Friend Ranking

5. Added Stickers for Chilli and S-17

[Combat Adjustment]

[Global Adjustments]

>> Newly added Shield/Dodge/Throw mechanics:

1. Trigger Shield by holding down the Shield button and automatically cancel by releasing the button. The character will fall into a dazed state after using it continuously for more than a certain period of time.

2. Trigger a grab by swiping the Shield button. After successfully grappling an opponent, you can swipe the D-button to control the direction in which to throw the opponent. The grab ignores the Shield status.

3. Tap Shield button in the air to trigger Dodge, which will cause the hero to evade incoming attacks for a short period of time. Tapping Shield while holding a direction on the D-button can trigger Dodge in the specified direction.

4. Tap the Shield button just as you hit the ground to trigger Tech (replacing the original trigger operation of swiping the D-button down).

5. Tap the Shield button or Grab button to trigger a roll back onto the stage while Ledge Grabbing.

Adjusted the method to trigger Charged Attacks:

1. In mode A, it can only be triggered by swiping the attack button horizontally.

2. In mode B, it can only be triggered by quickly tapping the D-button + Attack button (quick-tap the corresponding D-button + long-pressing the Attack button to charge).

3. Long pressing the Neutral Attack button will no longer trigger Charged Attack. It will instead continuously trigger the first-hit of Neutral Attack or the entire cycle of Neutral Attack combo depending on Heroes. If the 1st stage attack connects, the subsequent attack combo will be triggered.

>> Unified combat logic for all heroes:

1. Uniformly adjusted KO performance of all Heroes, increased the initial flight speed and attenuation speed of the Knocked-Out Hero.

2. Uniformly adjusted the landing lag of all Heroes' aerial moves. The stronger the KO Strength, the longer the landing lag.

3. Uniformly adjusted and optimized the issue where some Heroes may cancel their moves before landing, allowing aerial moves to be used closer to the ground.

4. New [Aerial Attack] for all characters (pre-existing ones will not be changed); all characters now have [Front Aerial], [Back Aerial] and [Aerial Attack] moves.

5. New small hit status for all characters, which will trigger when an attack is not enough to send the hero falling to the ground.

6. Jumping direction on the ground and in the air will remain.

7. Removed the ultimate jump, all heroes now have a uniform double jump.

8. To ensure a uniform feel, the "small jump" unique to some heroes has been temporarily removed.

9. When performing Recovery, Heroes will ignore environmental collision boxes (e.g. Magician's statue)

10. Removed the slide step caused by all characters when attacking.

11. Uniformly adjusted the ending lag of all Heroes' Neutral Attack and Charged Attack.

12. Removed the suspension and ending lag after releasing from grabbing edge.

13. Decreased input buffer time.

>> Stage Adjustment:

- The match duration for 1v1 arena mode is changed to 6 minutes per match.

- Drastically lowered the elimination line and widened the below-stage activity potential

- Slightly heightened the elimination line and slightly widened the above-stage activity potential

[Sivi Adjustments]

>> Reason of adjustment:

As the first Hero that players will experience, there is a huge discrepancy between Sivi's skills design and other Heroes' (i.e. lacking Charged Attack, Aerial Back Attack, etc.) This causes a huge learning curve between Sivi and other Heroes for new players. As an agile Hero with fast attacks, Sivi's combo is overpowering. Therefore, we have given him a slightly bigger makeover this time, weakening his combo and standardized his overall skill designs.

>> Adjustment Content

[Consolidated Attribute Adjustment]

Removed the Flurry of Punches activated by long-pressing the Attack button, added Charged Attack.

Removed the Ground Dash Down Attack move from control

Mikko Adjustments

>> Reason of adjustment:

As a heavy-set Hero, we think Mikko's [Sticker Skill - Mikko Acrobatics] is generally of a lower cost. At the same time, due to non-fully charged Neutral Special comes with Super Armor, Mikko might appear to be overpowered during a face-off with opponents. Therefore, we have weakened these two skills' performance, we hope players would not mind this too much.

>> Adjustment Content

Long-pressing the Attack button

Cycles Neutral Attack's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd stages.

[Sticker Skill - Mikko Acrobatics]

When used on ground, landing lag is increased

Decreased skill duration after the snowball was kicked out.

When used in mid-air, Mikko will immediately throw the snowball.

[Sophia Adjustments]

>> Reason of adjustment:

In the last version update, we have introduced start-up lag for Sophia's aerial moves. As a compensation, we have given part of her attack frames a Sweet Spot effect. Her short ending lag allows her to frequently use aerial moves to maximize her skill usage. In this adjustment, we hope to return Sophia to an simpler Hero whose attacks and returns are stabler.

>> Adjustment Content

Cycles 1st and 2nd stage Neutral Attacks

[Charged Attack]

[Bug Fixes & Optimization]

"Unified the framecount of moves that links with aerial attacks (attack, moves, air dodge etc) so that they are the same framecount with jumping.

Fixed the issue where Sophia would link attacks abnormally when landing during the first few frames of the aerial attack.

[Magician Adjustments]

>> Reason of adjustment:

As a ranged Hero, the Magician's splitting cards has a wide coverage, making him a difficult opponent to counter when coupled with his statues and flying hat. In this adjustment, we will be changing the Magician's splitting cards into one card to allow for more counter windows. At the same time, we have strengthened the 1st stage card attack's KO Strength, as well as quickened the flight speed of extended cards.

>> Adjustment Content

[Consolidated Attribute Adjustment]

Lowered the angle at which the card is thrown in the air.

[Sticker Skill - Fake Hat]

Optimized the issue where the Sticker skill overlaps with the character model

[Sticker Skill - The Real Magician]

Adjusted the determination area of the attack.

[Cupid Adjustments]

>> Reason of adjustment:

As a ranged Hero, both of Cupid's [Down Special] moves and aerial moves are able to repel opponents who tries to get too close. Thus, we wanted to slightly lower his ability to push away opponents so players would not continuously use his Aerial Back Attack to fend off pursuing opponents. On the other hand, we have increased the attack speed of [Neutral Special - Merciless Love] when it is not fully charged to enrich Cupid's means of keeping distance.

>> Adjustment Content

[Base Attribute Adjustment]

Increased weight.

[Long-pressing the Attack button]

Cycles Neutral Attack's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd stages.

Greatly decreased the careening arrows' horizontal range and raised the angle.

[Heracles Adjustments]

>> Reason of adjustment:

Heracles' overall skill design seemed overpowering after the Shield/Air Dodge/Throw mechanisms are implemented, therefore we have adjusted some of his skills' performance. On the fighting stage, friendship is first!

Increased the ending lag after Neutral Attack's third hit.

Fixed the issue where horizontal special skills would charge and damage the user, causing them to be out-of-bounds, and continue damaging the user after the respawn

Fixed the issue where Ground Down Attack would cause abnormal friction with the ground

[Alice Adjustments]

>> Reason of adjustment:

Alice was originally supposed to be an unarmed Hero with decent attack range, not a weapon user. However, her Mr. Rabbit did not have a hitbox, making it easier for her to threaten opponents with her attack range. Remember to protect yourself when using Mr. Rabbit!

>> Adjustment Content

[Base Attribute Adjustment]

Added damage box to Alice's back hand and can now be hit.

Removed the ability to prematurely cancel Ground Neutral Attack and connect with Down Attack

[Long-pressing the Attack button]

Cycles Neutral Attack's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd stages.

[Neutral Attack]

After hitting with the first attack, Tina can no longer connect to jump immediately.

[Chilli Adjustments]

>> Reason of adjustment:

Before this, Chilli's [Horizontal Special] is designed to be both an offensive and defensive move and is too versatile. Therefore we changed the skill to a purely blocking move, removing the block failure determination while guaranteeing defense against opponents in front of or behind Chilli. At the same time, Chilli was able to hide in a safe zone under Rust's bullet coverage, making it difficult for opponents to get up close. We changed Rust's bullets to be a neutral party that can hit either team so that the usage of the skill requires a little insight regarding the situation. However, we also increased some of Chilli's skills and base attributes. Let's hope she doesn't hit too hard.

>> Adjustment Content

[Long-pressing the Attack button]

Cycles the Flurry of Punches without connecting to the final-stage attack.

[Base Attribute Adjustment]

Removed Charged Up Attack

Slightly increased the jumping height

[Neutral Attack]

[Bug Fixes & Optimization]

Fixed the issue where the movement direction is incorrect after being hit in mid-air.

[Macalon Adjustments]

>> Reason of adjustment:

Macalon's Aerial Attack and Aerial Down Attack are both huge-coverage moves, and the low KO Angle gives him the advantage when interrupting opponents. We have adjusted the coverage of these two skills, as well as adjusted the interruption continuity to ensure opponents are able to evade when hitting at a certain spot.

>> Adjustment Content

[Long-pressing the Attack button]

Cycles Neutral Attack's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd stages.

[Aerial Attack]

Decreased rate of interruption continuity, decreased attack range.

Fixed the issue of abnormal KO interaction when hitting a rooted opponent.

Fixed the issue where continued attacks may be disconnect on its own.

[Sticker Skill - BBQ Skewer]

Can now be destroyed with attacks.

[S-17 Adjustments]

>> Reason of adjustment:

S-17's Chain Shield allows her to have an upper hand in terms of attack range without much of the corresponding cost. This allows her to frequently attack in a relatively safe position as well as threatening airborne opponents with her damaging flying axe. For that reason, we have decreased the Chain Shield's potential in Charged Attack and Ground Down Attack to weaken the flying axe's damage. At the same time, we made it possible to destroy the flying axe, so S-17 will need to choose her attacks wisely.

>> Adjustment Content

[Long-pressing the Attack button]

Use 1st stage attack once

[Base Attribute Adjustment]

Added Front Aerial Attack moves and skills

[Neutral Attack]

Added 3rd stage attack

[Charged Attack]
