Balance 2.18 - leaderfirestar - 11-19-2023 Noteworthy Game Mechanic Stuff:  - Stealing effects: Stealing an effect is where you remove an effect from someone, and place it on you. If an effect cannot be removed, it cannot be stolen Buffs:  - Demoura Zodd "Concentrated Wave" reactivates when a non-affliction skill is used on him Wasn't really sure how to word this in a way that makes sense. Just read the skill, the reactivation bit was only Energy + Strategic  - Hakuda Yamamoto "Double Bone's" ignore helpful effect now lasts 2 turns "Why not?" Nerfs:  - Gengar "Shadow Ball" no longer grants bonus energy damage "Cursed Body" only puts "no-cooldown" skills on a 1 turn cooldown Stacking bonus damage with Gengar has been a bit too effective. That, and his slowdown, while doing what it's supposed to do, might be doing it a bit too well  - Hisagi Shuhei "Explosive bands" no longer ignores invulnerability "Binding Spell #62: Hundred Steps Fence" no longer ignores invulnerability Hisagi has been a bit oppressive getting to simply stun an enemy rather than play into the invulnerable cycle. No more  - Hozukimaru "Beast Jab" can now be countered and reflected Hozukimaru is slow, and by magnitude, his power is about where I want it. For the people who don't telegraph their counters, this nerf will make him a bit easier to play around Random Tip: If you have a skill that makes the enemy ignore helpful effects, be sure to use it first to maximize the benefit. Otherwise, your other skills will be less potent! For example, in this screenshot, if Ururu's "crushing kick" was used first, the damage from Menos Grande and Jinta would have gone through Noteworthy Bug Fixes: Action/control skills now correctly calculate if their target is invulnerable rather than pulling a cached value Characters who transform into other characters now correctly revert to their original selves on your selected team once the match ends (Aaroniero, Hollow Muramasa) More performance optimizations, though admittedly on some more niche actions Certain actions, such as resetting your account, no longer restart the server in hyper-specific situations
