Soul-Boards

Buffs:

Ayasegawa Yumichika:

• "Blooming Flower" heal increased to 15
  
• If your enemy doesn't have destructible defense or damage reduction, there's almost no reason to use this skill over "Empower." Now there's more of a choice
  

Hakuda Yamamoto:

• "Fierce Grab" cost lowered to 1 random
  
• "Double Bone" now stuns energy skills for 1 turn
  
• After some extensive play testing, the verdict on this guy is "he's alright, tiny changes and he'll see more play"
  

Hisagomaru:

• "Fulfill" may now be used while active on himself or an ally to heal for 15 health
  
• Some long and thought out statement that sounds really cool that says how much he needs a built in heal for his kit to have any rhyme/reason
  

Hozukimaru:

• "Awakening spirit" now grants Hozukimaru 5 permanent damage every 3 turns (instead of for just 1 turn). Ally effect unchanged
  
• "Empowered Slash" cooldown lowered to 2 turns
  
• "Tsuki-Tsuki Dance" now makes Hozukimaru invulnerable for 1 turn
  
• "Amp" progresses the counter on "Awakening Spirit" by 1 turn and lowers all of Hozukimaru's active cooldowns by 1 turn
  
• This is closer to the original vision of the character, but poorly worded explanation + frustration from trying to understand it lead to what we had before
  

Hyorinmaru

• "Weather Manipulation" only swaps to "Sennen Hyoro" while active
  
• "Multi Headed Dragon" cooldown lowered to 1
  
• "You Are My Master" may now be used to make Hyorinmaru invulnerable for 1 turn if there are no Hitsugayas present on his team
  
• "You didn't do anything to his alt kit" I know I only had the patience to deal with one form this patch. "Weather Manipulation" is a strong skill, only being able to use it once sucked. "Multi headed Dragon" is objectively okay/good, but 2 turn cooldown is rough. No invul skill sucked. Base form might actually be viable now. Also the damage reduction from [i]"Weather Manipulation" was acting like destructible defense, but that bug was never reported or noticed as far as I'm aware because literally nobody was using this form of him[/i]
  

Ryujin Jakka:

• "Phoenix Fire" now ignores invulnerability
  
• "Infuse" will swap back to "Flame Tendrils" when the active "Flame Tendrils" ends
  
• There have been times where "Phoenix Fire" would not spread after killing because the last enemy(s) was/were invulnerable. Because of this, it would fail to apply. Making it ignore invulnerability gets around that, and getting flame tendrils back seems like a no brainer thing that should have been done a while back
  

Sode No Shirayuki:

• While "Icy Wind" is active, any enemy that targets her with a new harmful skill will gain 1 freeze counter
  

Yin and Yang:

• "Screaming Sky Fire" will now damage after 3 turns
  
• "Crackling Assault" damage increased to 15, will reduce the timer on "Screaming Sky Fire" by 1 turn if it's active on a target
  
• "Static Body" Now counters the first harmful skill used on her
  
• I left these effects out of her on release because I thought they'd be too strong. Her numbers suggest she needs help though, so why not
  

Nerfs:

Broly:

• "The Super Saiyan" passive effects may only trigger once per turn
  
• Damned if you focus him, damned if you don't. Now you don't have to worry about ramping the damage up by 15 points if you focus him
  

Demon Sado:

• "Diablo Punch" cooldown increased to 2 turns
  
• He's "suffered" from the same problem yoruichi was facing, where they both have a very clear skill rotation. In Sado's case, ignoring non-affliction damage for 2 turns allows him to pull some pretty shady shit. Hopefully this slows him back down enough to play nice with the rest of the characters
  

Hueco Mundo Kenpachi

• While "Enormous Reiatsu Release" is active, Hueco Mundo Kenpachi can no longer reduce damage or become invulnerable
  
• No more.
  

Iba Tetsuzaemon

• "Sake" no longer grants energy when used while active
  
• For a character like Iba who targets randomly, he needs to be strong. If I lower the damage and kill his 3 hit potential, he dies. He has no real defense, which makes me hesitant to remove his ignore. All that leaves is the guarantee that he's useful
  

Inner Ichigo

• "Reiatsu Wave" cooldown increased to 2 turns
  
• If you got good energy, you could use this skill twice in one ally takeover activation. Kinda nutty
  

Kurotsuchi Mayuri

• "Ashisogi Poison Release" cooldown increased to 3 turns
  
• Several of you might remember a few patches ago where I lowered the cooldown of this skill and increased the destructible defense it granted. I stand by the destructible defense change, but the frequency at which people are getting it has elevated his numbers a bit. While he wasn't quite in my red zone numbers wise this time, I think with the other heads rolling this patch, he would have found his way to the top
  

Resurreccion Yammy

• No longer increments his rage counter while enraged
  
• I wasn't quite sure what to make of this 2 years ago or however long ago we realized that he could gain stacks towards his next rage mode while raged. 2 years ago, he sucked ass, so it was ignored. However, at this point, I've had games where if I can get enraged, I'll get 1 or 2 more enrages pretty easy, because leaving rage mode I'd already have 5 or 6 stacks. This will slow down the rate at which he rages
  

Random Tip:
If an effect on your character was placed there by your character, it's considered a helpful effect. If your character places it on an enemy, it's a harmful effect!

Noteworthy Bug Fixes:

• Fixed several issues with Yin and Yang not transforming, or transforming completely
  
• Yin's "Crackling Assault" No longer damages the main target twice
  
• Yang's "Forced Resurreccion" now does damage
  
• Changing your title on the website works no, instead of changing ra1nh4rd's
  
• Resurrecion Yammy's "Ultimate Cero" now properly stuns a character if they go invulnerable while taking damage
  
• Tessai's increased damage effect is no longer removed when someone removes his stuns (It's been like 2 years, but this is finally fixed)
