1.53.1 Minor Update

Hello, Storm Striker players!

We’d like to share details about the 1.53 Minor Update (Feb 26, 2026).

Character Balance

• Warmonger
  • Titan Splash : cooldown reduced: 7 sec → 6 sec
  • Comment
    • We reduced the cooldown to ease the burden after engaging, allowing for more proactive dive plays.

• Rei
  • Key Slot Changes
    • Frost Armor removed

  • Frost Blade : (1st hit) damage reduced: 100 → 80
  • Frost Trail :  cooldown reduced: 14 sec → 12 sec
  • Comment
    • We limited gameplay that could easily resist crowd control. We also adjusted Frost Trail’s cooldown so repositioning and positioning choices feel easier than before. Lastly, we tuned down some of the burst damage in a kit that previously secured both sustained damage and burst damage at the same time.

• Lucy
  • Bloody Shot : projectile damage reduced: 10 → 5
  • Bloody Burst : center damage reduced: 115 → 105
  • Bloody Burst : outer damage reduced: 100 → 95
  • Bloody Burst : firing delay reduced: 0.25 sec → 0.15 sec
  • Bloody Burst : explosion delay reduced: 0.75 sec → 0.4 sec
  • Comment
    • We shortened the firing and explosion delays so Bloody Burst can chain more naturally with Bloody Shot, and adjusted the burst damage created during the combo.
