SQUIGLY'S ORIGIN STORY



FIGHTER TUNING AND BALANCING

It's that time again! Read on to see which Fighters received some much needed attention.

DARK MIGHT

These changes should help Dark Might have more chances to activate his Signature Ability without also needing to sacrifice most of his team. This was especially troubling in game modes like Rift Battles where every hit point matters!

OLD

LEVEL 3 BLOCKBUSTERS have a 15/25/35% chance to instantly defeat enemies if Beowulf has no remaining teammates.

NEW

LEVEL 3 BLOCKBUSTERS have a 15/25/35% chance to instantly defeat enemies if Beowulf has less than 50% HEALTH.

WEEKEND WARRIOR

By combining his old SA1 and SA2, we've given Weekend Warrior a new SA1 that will allow him to immediately receive max HYPE when he's on his last legs. This should always give him a chance to use SA2 to save himself from death (even mid combo). These changes also allow the AI to more reliably activate HYPE MODE to use his SA2 effectively.

OLD

Gain IMMUNITY and HASTE for 5/7/10 seconds, and remove all DEBUFFS when activating HYPE

NEW

Achieve max HYPE and gain HASTE for 10 seconds when Beowulf first drops below 25/35/50% HEALTH.

OLD

When activating HYPE MODE, gain FINAL STAND for 10/12/15 seconds, preventing death for the duration of the effect.

NEW

When activating HYPE MODE, remove all DEBUFFS and gain IMMUNITY, FINAL STAND, and HEAVY REGEN for 10/12/15 seconds.

TOMB & GLOOM

Tomb & Gloom's new SA2 should still capture the feeling of evading important hits, but she'll have much more control over when this happens instead of relying purely on luck. Using the new EVASION modifier with a generous duration at max level gives her unique tools that no other Eliza has. This is helpful on attack AND defense, and it gives her more windows to get in hits to make up for her lack in raw firepower.

OLD

15% chance to EVADE BLOCKBUSTER HITS while the opponent is suffering a DEBUFF.

NEW

Also gain 1 stack of EVASION [when using a Blockbuster] for 5/7/10 seconds.

HACK N' SPLASH

We've increased the reward for landing a well timed block on her SA1 by giving her up to 5 stacks of PRECISION to nuke the opponent or disable SAs. While her SA2 will now require CRIPPLE instead of any ol' DEBUFF to activate the MAX HEALTH removal, it won't consume them anymore. A high crit rate build after a well timed block will shred tanky opponents if you can use her head effectively!

OLD

A well-timed BLOCK against standard attacks inflicts CRIPPLE and ARMOR BREAK for 10/12/15 seconds.

NEW

A well-timed BLOCK against standard attacks grants 3/4/5 stacks of PRECISION and inflicts CRIPPLE and ARMOR BREAK for 10 seconds.

OLD

Landing CRITICAL HITS with Ms. Fortune's HEAD will remove 1 opponent DEBUFF, dealing an additional 1/2/3% of the opponent's MAX HEALTH for each DEBUFF removed

NEW

Landing CRITICAL HITS with Ms. Fortune's HEAD deal an additional 1/2/3% of the opponent's MAX HEALTH if they are inflicted with CRIPPLE.

MS. TRIAL

BUFF removal and PRECISION is great, but Ms. Trial's activation condition for SA1 was tricky to pull off reliably in a match. Intercepting the opponent's dash should come up more often, and the increase in PRECISION stacks helps her nuke opponents while disabling their Signature Abilities.

OLD

CHARGE ATTACKS remove 1 opponent BUFF and grant 1 stack(s) of PRECISION.

NEW

When HITTING a DASHING opponent, remove 1 of the opponent's BUFFS and gain 3/4/5 stacks of PRECISION.

SKETCHY

As an easily accessible Bronze support Fighter, Sketchy's SA requires minimal investment to max out, and her effectiveness at level 1 without even needing to enter combat is unmatched. These changes should keep Sketchy's role the same while still taking her down a notch. With the opponent spending less time locked down by constant CURSE, fights with Sketchy will require a little more thought and planning. The final opponent of every team will be immune to Sketchy's SA, since the previous character will be dead, which prevents the SA from activating.

OLD

All teammates TAG IN with HASTE and IMMUNITY for 10/12/15 seconds

NEW

All teammates TAG IN with HASTE and IMMUNITY for 5/7/10 seconds (except after teammate death).

OLD

All opponents TAG IN with SLOW and CURSE for 10/12/15 seconds

NEW

All opponents TAG IN with SLOW and CURSE for 5/7/10 seconds (except after teammate death).

THAT'S ALL FOLKS

That's All Folks is intended to be a dangerous defensive Fighter that can launch powerful counter attacks once she's been attacked. Unfortunately she's been having a hard time finding a window to do so! This simple change will make That's All Folks a slippery defender who can fall out of some combos, allowing her to strike back with a quick jab or Blockbuster.

OLD

Getting HIT has a 15% chance to inflict ARMOR BREAK for 10 seconds and grant 3/4/5 stacks of PRECISION.

NEW

Getting HIT has a 15% chance to inflict ARMOR BREAK for 10 seconds and grant 3/4/5 stacks of PRECISION and 1 stack of EVADE.

JUST KITTEN

This change is intended to make playing against Just Kitten a little more fair while keeping her Signature Ability mostly the same. With this change, she can never evade the first hit of an intercept (launcher, throw, jab, etc), and she gives her attacker more time to react to when the EVASION modifier triggers. This change also allows CURSE to be used as an effective counter to her kit.

OLD

5/10/15% chance to EVADE any non-projectile HIT and gain HASTE for 10 seconds.

NEW

5/10/15% chance on any non-projectile HIT to gain 1 stack of EVASION and HASTE for 10 seconds.

ROBO-FORTUNE MA - PING CHECK

The distance to activate Ping Check is appropriately far, but it's difficult to keep the AI from dashing into close range and cancelling the activation JUST before her MA2 fires. This change allows Robo-Fortune to activate her MA2 more frequently - even during Blockbusters that keep the opponent a little further as they do damage (like her Catastrophe Cannon BBs).

OLD

Gain ENRAGE for 5 - 15 seconds after every 3 seconds while far away from the opponent.

NEW

Gain ENRAGE for 5 - 15 seconds after every 2 seconds while far away from the opponent.

Fixed an issue where activating MS. TRIAL 's SA2 just once would permanently disable the enemies DEFENSE for the rest of the match, which even ignored 5 stacks of ARMOR ... yep... secret top tier! :x

's just once would permanently disable the enemies for the rest of the match, which even ignored 5 stacks of ... yep... secret top tier! :x Adjusted the pushback on Ms.Fortune's L2 (head on and off) and L3 (head off) to make her ground combo more consistent. This will make sure the opponent doesn't slide away mid combo. VALENTINE

ASSASSIN'S GREED will no longer regain health during the cinematic "Super Flash" section of Blockbusters. She can only heal when time is not stopped.

will no longer regain health during the cinematic "Super Flash" section of Blockbusters. She can only heal when time is not stopped. Fixed an issue where Valentine couldn't block an attack which forced her to BLOCK while CROUCHING, if she was already BLOCKING while CROUCHING. The most common example of this would be Cerebella or Double's L2 (low attacks), cancelled into their TRIPS, for two LOW attacks back to back. Our deepest apologies to anyone who ran into this! We've verified this issue doesn't exist for any other characters. CATALYSTS

Fixed a bug where CORROSIVE ELEMENT would sometimes not fire correctly using the described conditions. MODIFIERS

DISABLE BLOCKBUSTERS will now prevent ALL Blockbuster meter gain. Previously, other abilities and modifiers could still grant Blockbuster meter, even if that character had their Blockbusters Disabled. Ex: TOAD WARRIOR's TURBO TUNNEL SA.

modifier (GOING ALL IN - MASTER) would make Big Band's L2 UNBLOCKABLE. Fixed an oversight where the player could bypass the AEGIS modifier (ASCENT OF A WOMAN - MASTER) and deal normal amounts of damage to an enemy MS. FORTUNE by attacking her HEAD. RIFT BATTLES

You'll now receive a notification or "toast" that appears on the right side of the screen to notify you if you've found a Rift Battle opponent while the app is open.

High ranking players will now stop matching with other players using collection strength at an earlier point than before. This should encompass the majority of Diamond tier.

Scoring adjustments have been made to increase the odds of players recovering from a single mistake. The "NO FIGHTERS LOST" bonus have been reduced from 250 to 200 points. The "DEFENSE WINS" points awarded to the opponent have been reduced from 500 to 400 points.

FIGHT HISTORY

Fixed an issue where point totals for fights could not present themselves correctly when switching between Prize Fight defense history and Rift Battles defense history. FIGHTER DETAILS

Fighters will no longer perform moves and attacks in the background as you navigate and tap on the UI on the right of the screen. This should also prevent scenarios where the UI would sometimes ignore your taps on Moves. No more distracting noises while building your load out!

Fixed an issue where dragging and rearranging already equipped Moves would be unresponsive. CHAT

Updated the chat filter to stop censoring specific words and phrases that weren't problematic. Keep in mind that just because you can speak the name of powerful beings (Scooby), it doesn't mean you should...

The chat will now broadcast Prize Fight win streaks every 10 wins (40, 50, etc), instead of just 30. Time to flex in chat! UI

You can now sell, upgrade, and favorite MOVES and CATALYSTS on any rewards screen! Sell undesired Moves the moment you receive them to keep your collection lean and organized. (video)



Fixed an issue where Molly could sometimes vanish from the main menu MISSIONS button under some circumstances.

Fixed an issue where some NPC portraits (Talking Heads) would fail to appear on various screens.

Selected FILTERS will now persist between Fights, even outside of Rift Battles.

Fighters, Moves, and Catalyst will now be tagged as NEW when they are earned. This can also be used to find your new items in the event you have your Relic opening interrupted by poor connection, or a crash. You can also FILTER by NEW as well!

Hopefully resolved the issue where Fighters would float above the pedestal during Relic opening.

Fixed a bug where the number listed in the notification diamond for Relics and Collection on the main menu was frequently incorrect. DAILY EVENTS

Updated one of the Fights in SQUIGLY's MASTER DAILY EVENT to include a Squigly Fighter, instead of XENOMORPH.



Shuffled around some match modifiers in Squigly's DAILY EVENT to avoid having modifiers that rely on teammate death on nodes where you can only bring one Fighter. RELIC OPENING

Fixed a possible soft lock when dismissing the COLLECTION FULL pop up when opening previously owned Relics one by one. TEXT & LOCALIZATION

Updated POWER UP loading tip to emphasize that it's a better idea to use it for clearing extremely full collections, instead of your every day Fighter upgrading.



loading tip to emphasize that it's a better idea to use it for clearing extremely full collections, instead of your every day Fighter upgrading. Clarified that Valentine's TRAUMA CENTER Marquee Ability grants FINAL STAND AFTER suffering a HIT from a successful attack... not during, or before.

Marquee Ability grants suffering a HIT from a successful attack... not during, or before. Fixed an issue where Robo-Fortune's JP VO was errantly listed as Kimlinh Tran instead of Kana Hanazawa .

VO was errantly listed as instead of . Tons of miscellaneous localization improvements and bug fixes across all languages.

Per feedback from our Brazilian players, some Fighter names have been updated in Brazilian Portuguese! NETWORK

Fixed an issue where sometimes players would run into Error 5309 even though they had a working internet connection. MISSIONS

The LONGSHOT mission can now be completed from a Rift Battle fight.

MISSION progress UI can now appear during the results screen for Rift Battles.



Fixed an issue where the LONGSHOT mission would always erroneously indicate that a player had to win versus an opponent 5x their FS in Chinese, instead of the standard 2x ~ 4x. ​
