Demo Patch Notes for 6/21/2023

Greetings, Asterians! We hope you've been enjoying the demo so far! We've been watching you all play and hearing a ton of awesome feedback. We've decided to make some adjustments and will be pushing them through in a patch today! Thank you for all your support and we hope you continue to enjoy our demo!

GENERAL

• Player scaling enabled, 65%/100%/125% enemy HP (1/2/3 players)
• It IS possible to solo the demo now. Let's see who can pull it off!

HEROES

Breeze

• Charge Attack full charging duration increased to 1.5 seconds (from 1.3)
• R Skill damage scaling reduced to 1.35 (from 1.55)
• Q Skill ranged damage scaling increased to 0.8 (from 0.72)
• E Skill damage scaling increased to 0.36 (from 0.23)
• Design Notes — Breeze is doing well as a caster, but we want to shift some of the damage away from her R Skill and onto her other Skills. We also saw people weren't shooting the Q Skill, which does better damage, so we boosted the reward for players who can hit those shots.

Serena

• Combo Damage Scale increased to 4.13 (from 4)
• Charge Attack radius now scales up with each charge (25% per)
• Charge Attack fire duration increased to 0.5 seconds (from 0.35)
• Charge Attack full charging duration decreased to 2.0 seconds (from 2.6)
• Charge Attack damage scaling increased to 0.84 (from 0.72)
• R Skill cooldown reduced to 60 hits (from 72)
• Design Notes — Serena wasn't meeting our expectations. We have more changes planned for her in Early Access, but for now we are giving her some love to improve her Charge Attack, allow you to spin more often, and shifting some of her normal attack damage forward in her combo. Should feel much better, maybe even a bit OP. #SerenaSupremacy

Naomi

• Dash Attack damage scaling decreased to 0.15 per hit (from 0.2)
• R Skill cooldown reduced to 72 hits (from 90)
• Design Notes — Naomi is doing very well, but her R Skill cooldown was too long. To account for the effective DPS increase, we removed some damage from her Dash Attack. - She should feel mostly the same as before the patch, but with a bit more uptime on that R Skill.

UI

Gameplay HUD

• Dash ability icon updated to reflect cooldown.
• Character ability icon updated to show a white flash on enemy hit.

Hero Screen

• Hero models can be rotated after their animation finishes.

AUDIO

• Charge attack "charging" audio removed while we continue to work on a resolution for the "jump scare" bug.

BUG FIXES

• Fix to Desmo Revolving Misery ability (Big rotating beam of energy) targeter not cleaning up on death.
