Hello, StormStriker players!
Here is the information regarding the 1.45 Update (25.04.17).
Overall Balance Adjustment Direction
Shifu
- Intent
- We determined that Shifu’s damage feedback was low compared to his sustain, so we slightly increased his damage.
Thunder StampDamage 140 → 170Thunder Dragon SlashDamage 140 → 170Dragon StampDamage 140 → 170Dragon KickDamage 110 / 110 → 130 / 130Cooldown 9s → 7sMaximus
- Intent
- Maximus had superior offensive capabilities compared to other tank roles, so we slightly reduced his damage and slightly increased his sustain.
Enforcement of OrderDamage 110 → 100Verdict!Damage 330 → 300Ironblood RetributionDamage 110 → 100Gains a shield of 30 for 2 seconds per enemy hitExpel InjusticeDamage 110 → 100Warmonger
- Titan Splash

Volf
- Intent
- We improved the usability of Fiery Uppercut, making combos smoother.

- Intent
- The swap skill *Rampaging Fury* is back!
- With *Rampaging Fury*, Bernhardt can now flexibly fulfill a sub-tank role.

- Intent
- We unified movement skills to assign *Rising Wind* to Shift.
Rising WindFixed as Shift swap skillBoosting WindFixed as Shift swap skillRaki
- Intent
- Compared to Rei’s 1.2s 315 damage, Raki’s LMB had significantly lower DPS.
- We reduced the interval from 0.25s to 0.2s, slightly increasing to 1.2s 180 DPS.
- RMB has been redesigned to have inner and outer range hitboxes, like Lucy’s LMB.
- This way, beginner players can hit more reliably, though at lower damage than intended.
- Advanced players will need to get closer and aim more precisely to achieve the intended damage.

- Intent
- We reduced the charge time of *Arctic Spike* by 25%, allowing higher DPS than just using LMB alone.

- Intent
- We significantly improved the usability of Electra’s LMB.
- With longer range and faster projectile speed, she will be stronger at healing allies.
- *Encroaching Thorns* and *Land of Delight* can now be used with Blood Well gauge, and *Land of Delight* also gains a cleansing effect to remove CC effects from allies.
- *Ecstatic Sphere* will return later with improved animation and motion to better fit the character concept.

- Intent
- We improved *Sand Slash*, which had too low feedback.
- Now, the combo of LMB → Sand Slash → LMB will be much stronger.
Sand SlashDamage 30 → 75Narae
- Intent
- Added HUD indicator to show the target of *Divine Energy* for better clarity.
Divine EnergyHUD indicator added for targetSabio
- Intent
- Sabio is being reworked as an offensively-focused support, rather than a 50:50 heal/damage balance.
