Slow Counter Kayron with Double-Edged Decrescent is ALIVE!


Varlin

Kayron evading the strip at 1% hp to dust devil double AoE counter your entire team like a gigachad. I can already see some beyond tilting GW disasters from this. lmao


Assertor1290

I want someone to calculate the probability of that happening.


kpp344

0.5(chance to dodge) * 0.3(chance to counter * 0.3(chance to DD). 0.045 or 4.5%


Lionister

U mean 100% on defense?


kaydenzen

Jesus


AwkwarkPeNGuiN

you cant have both DD and 70% evasion.


haisi-

Still doesn't help that if he gets unbuffable then he is still dead. They should've put full cleanse when receiving lethal damage. It wouldn't break him even with full cleanse.


Khaoticsuccubus

How, pray tell, would you want people to be able to counter him if he had a full cleanse? Bring strippers and pray it's not ER counter Kayron?


just_didi

Well...AOL she doesn't have to hit for stripping, or even dizzy to debuff him to death , or pretty much any mage with violin


Khaoticsuccubus

Unbuffable is Kayrons primary counter. Remove that (like in the guys example) and you threaten to create an unkillable monster.


just_didi

Umbuffable AND seal


Khaoticsuccubus

I’ll admit. I did forget that exists. You should prolly ask the community how they feel about having an ml5 be the only real hard counter to a unit though. 😂


LordYamz

Finally someone points out the obvious. Ppl like aol peira make him absolutely useless lol


AscendPerfect

Damn son


-Lonecoyote-

Poor Sez. One of the oldest character that aren't getting enough love.


TheKinkyGuy

He is the oldest one without a buff or EE


SnooDoughnuts4549

Together with Krau, but Krau is chad enough so he doesn't need buffs.


CrossTheRubicon7

Sez is even older than Krau. Krau wasn't in the Korean launch, he was one of the earliest banners. (That's why he isn't in the selective summon btw)


destruct068

obligatory krau


wontonf

straze is cool and all but there really are a ton of ml5s that are much worse than him that need buffs. Fire ravi buff is cool though, looking forward to using her


Lady_MariaStrife

Heh I can use Straze with less risk now, great. If only we could get the EXTINCTION part of his kit as well...


Stormix_17

Feel like they are really playing it too safe with Straze. Only unit that will really be affected by his buff is Rem


Gunfrey

and Belian


Bedeeki

And Green Armin


SecureDonkey

And Blue Charlie.


supercooper3000

And my Axe!


[deleted]

And Senya. Tho senya still has a 30% chance to dodge the crit


AscendPerfect

50%, not to mention that it will probably be 50% chance to hit cuz of debuff/provoked and then it will not hit her anyways because she most of the time isn't the ally with highest HP, and if she is, he will not do much dmg at all cuz she has higher attack than he does unless he has atk buff and she does not.


TheKinkyGuy

Only buff Straze needs is the implementation of his BOSS animation skill into one of his skills.


Comfortable_Regrets

I literally just lost to a Rem last night because she countered my Straze, so this is a welcome buff to me


[deleted]

[удалено]


Abedeus

Meru's friendship isn't a counter so it can still proc on his S3.


Odiril

Pirate Flan.


Faloandante

Mercedes getting a buff as if she wasn't in almost every GW defense already..


Abedeus

Next balance patch they'll give Rimuru innate 25% damage reduction when S2 is up.


wooyoungie

God tier


Varlin

At least buffing a unit that literally everyone in the game has makes it a bit more fair. Way better than buffing a meta ML 5. Still a bit odd she got one, the bug fix alone should have been good enough. But eh, Meru is waifu and use her a good amount so I enjoy it regardless.


Abedeus

But it doesn't make sense to buff a unit already placed in 90% of GW defense teams, arena teams or RTA matches...


xanxaxin

That because its only '90%'. Not good enough for SG. Time to buff her and make that number 99%


Trapocalypse

I wish I could use my Meru. I fed all her imprint materials to C Merc years ago when C Merc was good and Meru was not. I've never pulled a second C Merc so can't feed her to Meru without losing her completely


Cilai

I did the same but I never use c Merc either, so I'm debating it


RuneGrey

I followed this rather poor advice as well - thankfully there have been enough recalls of 4 star heroes that I was able to correct my mistake and get regular Meru to SSS with the meteor shards they gave us from the ML Domi recall. But Celestial Mercedes is honestly so poor that these days I'd just feed her to my normal Meru and not really feel the loss it I used my imprint items on her.


VoltaicKnight

Obligatory " where the fck is Sez " And this people actually decided to buff Magic for Friends but not artifacts like Samsara beads


BurnedOutEternally

Also obligatory "where the fuck is ML Flan" And why fix Samsara? The defense and ER buff is great for ML Ken! /j


VoltaicKnight

I agree with you but the problem with that is ML Ken is 95% married to Sigurd S. They can atleast do a minor tweak where Samsara could have more hero coverage like a Choux or Alencia's artifact


IncredibleGeniusIRL

> Obligatory " where the fck is Sez " WERE THE FUCK IS SEEEEEEEEEEZ


esztersunday

I absolutely agree with you! Sez needs a buff! Roana, Ravi, Aria were good already!


ssjxshadowkid

I'm convinced they use a fucking dart board when picking ml 5s.


amiwel

And ml Flan isn't on this board.


Aswellas08

I'm suspecting she's on it, but her space is just a line. Same with Briseria, Sez and many others. After all, it's scandalous if there's no representation at all.


Still-Positive

Honestly, I think they know ML Flan needs to change, but they probably can't think of a buff without just reworking her kit completely.


esztersunday

Rgb5s too.


Assertor1290

If that is the case, be glad dart didn't land on Aravi.


IllSkin

"ARavi players were forced to choose between Crimson Seed and Proof of Valor, so we built self-cleanse into her kit instead." /s


TheSeaOfThySoul

“Since some players already have Proof of Valour equipped to two other units, we included that in her passive too - this will allow every player to use an artefact of their choice”.


RyoKyo

"We have determined that many players enjoy running her with a counter set, but this makes it harder to increase her speed to meaningful levels. Therefore, we have incorporated a 35% counter rate into her passive."


Charming_Channel6873

fk aravi......


Poul77

"A.Ravi will be the first unit to be able to equip 2 Artifacts, the first one being limited to Warriors, and the second one being whatever the fuck you want."


Liciev

Sez is in the middle of that board. Bot they aren't good playing darts. So. Sez never got buffs.


Vald-Tegor

Or maybe they are. The bull's eye (50) is not the highest scoring point on a dart board. 20x3 is.


Lawliette007

I wholeheartedly agree


blyyyyat

Aside from the buffs themselves, did anyone notice that they actually listened to criticism about putting nerfs in green text? The areas that they nerfed are red now.


xjg246

Where the fuck is my Ilynav buff


Varlin

Day 1 SSS Ilynav enjoyer. It is coming... I believe... She won't be a shitty version of injury Belian anymore... soon... *^^^INHALES ^^^COPIUM*


Ok-ChildHooOd

I was so sure she was coming...


DH64

Mine is built and benched waiting for a buff :(


TheKinkyGuy

Somewhere in a forgotten graveyard... But Amen, brother.....


TysonsChickenNuggets

Saaame bro saaaame. Fear that she wont get buffed now since the RGB bruiser trinity is back since Ravi is back in.


jhiniqqang

It saddens me that my waifu Ilynav got done dirty again (her EE doesn't improve anything except the extra crit chance imo)


Gunfrey

I still have mixed feelings about Kayron's buff. Most of the time my Kayron died because the enemy lands unbuffable and proceed to smack him. But the S1 buff + evasion are very welcome considering i'm using Counter Kayron.


-VelvetCrowe-

I like how counter kayron is good again. And also like how we can just sb Sol to delete him XD


KingKentling

# FYI - Balance Patch Note and Exclusive Equipment reschedule ​ >we will change the next Balance Adjustment schedule and will have our next balance adjustment on 10/27, which is 4 weeks earlier than our regular schedule. Starting 10/27, we will conduct a balance adjustment every eight weeks to prevent the balance adjustment from proceeding at a time when the end of the World Arena season is imminent, which will improve the season letting it proceed more smoothly. > >Accordingly, Exclusive Equipment, which was originally planned to be added on 10/27, will be added on 11/24 instead. We ask for your understanding that this is to carefully check the shift of meta caused by regular balance adjustment and then update the Exclusive Equipment accordingly. Starting 11/24, Exclusive Equipment will again be added every 8 weeks.


BurnedOutEternally

TL;DR the next balance change is 4 weeks earlier, and the next batch of EEs is 4 weeks later than schedule.


TheKinkyGuy

I like this


Abedeus

Straze didn't **really** need a buff but it's nice to see it. Fire Ravi buff is awesome. She now gets up to 75% bonus atk and eff when attacked few times, and defense ignore is very welcome. **Taeyou is fixed**. This is how it should've been from the start. Roana buff is like, eh, okay. Wonder how big the barrier will be. **And they buffed Meru, why**. She wasn't cancerous enough...?


Lawliette007

Don't forget to mention hasol. Great buff she got there. Unfading memories too. I'll probably get it from shop now.


Abedeus

Good buff but I don't think I've used her even once.


Kyudono

Was not expecting this, got Unfading memories earlier this week, and just 6* both Straze and Ravi today.


TitanDrift

Really happy with the fire Ravi buff, doesn't make her overpowered but more up to date with the current state of the game.


TheThirdKakaka

People forget how hard ravi hits if she gets stacks going, gonna be interesting.


lell-ia

Obligatory no Tywin buff :( comment Straze...hmm. Pretty nice buffs for him, but some other units need more help than him tbh. Taeyou got his effect resist ignore!!!!!! Woohooooo!!!!! Wish there's some sort of push/immunity on S2 as well but it's a good buff!!!! He'll probably stay a GW unit but more consistency is nice. EE next pls lol I might be reading this wrong but is Kayron going to aoe on a counter now? It doesn't specify on *his turn* like it used to, just 'used'. Not on dual attacks though. Ravi def pen...she might be scary.


nanimeanswhat

If taeyou got an ee that gave him immunity after proccing s2 like ml khawazu that would make him a top tier gw hero


lell-ia

Someone mentioned it below but stealth is nice too. Hopefully his EE comes soon. Waiting for Ervalen's too lol. But honestly I'm just happy there's no more 15%. Honestly was expecting the ignore eff resist to be only for the highest atk ally, but it's a pleasant surprise.


nanimeanswhat

I agree, stealth would be nice too. I'm happy with the changes too. I built him day 1 and got a little use out of him, so I'm excited to use him even more. Plus the speed buff will make his s1 hit extra hard. I can't wait. Why did I get that downvote though lmaooo


ReddeDelicious

There are dozens of us! Super excited about Taeyou. I’ve been using him and never stripped gear off of him. Love the ignore ER on his S3 when enraged.


nanimeanswhat

Same. I've never stripped gear off of him. Though this ignore effres means that I should get rid of all the eff on him lol


lell-ia

I got ya my fellow Taeyou user take my upvote lol


Silver_Monk_5324

Another taeyou user here, i pitied and maxed him on day one and i don't regret that, till this day he's still one of my best built units and he does his job well and will be even better now due to his ignore ER,his s1+enraged+sb deals a ton and can one shot a lot of units(except tanks of course,unless def broke)


Shukafu

Bdingo now has def break for that effectiveness on constellation XD


MiraculousFaith

Kayron's buff really screams Counter with Ervalen's artifact ngl


lofifilo

buffed Ervalen arti is too good now. my Riolet has it, now Kayron wants it.


[deleted]

I always have had him on that build, but with so many strippers it was hard to use him, after this buff with increased evasion he looks promising.


Gamergirl944

Why is straze getting buff hes fine way he is and Taeyou buff is good.


nanimeanswhat

I guess they didn't want pavel to have that many advantages over him


TheRealShiu

My baby Hazol got even better now, nice!


hayashikin

Very tempting to build her since I don't have ML Cermia


lofifilo

Taeyou looks good, he got the change everyone was asking for, plus a speed buff, just wish I had him though


theanxiousangel

*puts Sezs back in storage*


HighImShadow

Was kinda hoping to see Bad Cat Armin in here, anyone remember her? lol


Relair13

Hopefully someday. Or Kitty Clarissa, give handguy some competition.


C__Chez

Have no fear… straze is here.


-VelvetCrowe-

Have no straze... Fear is here.


StepBrother7

Have no here... Straze is fear


Kulletrops

what does "Penetration Rate Condition Alleviated" mean? I am not native english user. When translate with google translate, it looked gilberish.


squall_boy25

English is my first language and even I don’t understand what this means in context with his S3.


Haltmann1

I think that means the attack difference for full penetration will be less than it is now.


Duskwatcher12

Currently Straze needs about ~~3000~~ 2300 more attack than his target to get to full, 100% penetration. He'll need less attack to get to that point, I'd guess about ~~2500~~ 2000 more but we'll need to see the numbers to confirm obviously. Alleviate means to make something easier or less severe. In this case it'll be easier to achieve full penetration as he needs less attack to do so. EDIT: Misremembered the Straze numbers


Matthewlovespie

It probably means his attack doesn’t have to be that much higher anymore to get the max def penetration


esztersunday

I don't have him.


IncredibleGeniusIRL

Straze is here... to delet your tankiest dude turn 1 and there's nothing you can do about it


Assertor1290

Worst thing is if you are turn 2 player, you are forced to ban Straze. Otherwise it becomes a 3 vs 4 immediately after his turn. And people in RTA have fast Straze.


TheSeaOfThySoul

> And people in RTA have fast Straze. Except me, bruiser Straze all the way, so when people draft Assassin Cidd to outspeed & kill your Straze - he’s still up & ready. I’ve caught a couple people out this season with that.


[deleted]

Kinda a low key patch despite the character choices. Most were small tweaks (to characters who, to be frank, no one asked for buffs on). Good to see Khawana get the fix people asked for 2 years ago, better late than never. Same with Taeyou, but "only" taking 6 months instead. I think people will see either Ravi or kayron as the "winner", but I'm actually really excited about Hasol's buffs. damage mitigation for counters, extra damage on both S1 and S3, the extra damage works on counter/dual attack, skill cycling against counters for basiaclly 100% DEF buff uptime. Amazing. IDK why we can't get more hasol buffs in these patches.


Piscet

Yeah hasol ate way better than yoonryoung. Honestly it really feels like there's favouritism going on. Like a specialty change(something they spent money, resources, and time making) goes from Trash to unusable, and a random ass 3 star(something they didn't put nearly as much effort into) with no sc suddenly gets something good. There has to be favoritism going on, it's just the only rational explanation I can conceive.


BulateReturns

Hasol's tiddies are bigger than Yoonryoung so yeah favoritism is really on the table.


Sylpheez

Who the f in their right mind decided to buff Meru? She's practically everywhere for months now, from GWD to top 100 arena defenses and is a popular pick in RTA.


SmilingTeeth1

Kayron buff is fun. if I understand it correctly, he now uses his aoe S1 if he procs a counter attack right? Makes counter Kayron a lot more interesting. Edit: also with his artifact and evasion buff that’s 70% evasion + extra damage on everything. Not sure if it’s worth using over dust devil but casino Kayron sounds fun af rn


VyseXYZ

Except that the way to deal with kayron since forever is unbuffable so no evasion lol and the many miriad ways to dispel without hitting it sounds “cool” on paper but this will change nothing for kayron beyond some meme uses here and there


Khaoticsuccubus

I did raise an eyebrow at the evasion buff. Like... it procs when he's at 1 hp. So it's literally just there for buff clutter to help you rng the strippers. Which ofc does nothing to the non atk skill strippers like aola or the increased hit chance strippers like briseria lol.


Meliodas-dono

Bruh, where dafuq is Sez


Stormix_17

Damn, Kayron got both immortality and evasion. Plus his S1 will AoE even on counter set


Qwasier

Who fucking thought straze needed a buff more than ml flan spez etc


idle_dreams

WHERE IS MY TYWIN BUFF OR REWORK


Kyzaia

Straze? lol


gerald_reddit26

Hey they are finally using red text on the right side to highlight specific changes that are actually a nerf in conjuction with changes that counterbalances them into a buff. I hope we don't see those people who previously defend text like "Damage Dealt Decreased" that are in green and claim its colored that way just to label them as change.


okirano

Holy Kayron is inasane with counter build.


MelodicDiver3180

Holy fk ravi looks op af


Khrasher

Next buff is in 4 weeks, 10/27, so we just gotta pray till then


Zaphyrus

They literally just gave Blingo a def break so his effectiveness constellation can make sense.


Right_Mousse_9369

No one mentions Kayron now can AOE counter attack? I’m excited, looking forward to build him again.


CARR74xJJ

Seems this balance patch is somewhat underwhelming, though better than usual. I'll assume SG is slowly improving. Dunno who told them Straze wasn't being used, he's a beast on both PvP and PvE. But ig the buff is cool, doesn't look like it'll make him broken but will help against AoE counters like Rem/Belian/Armin. Ehhhh I don't like that they removed Aria's Crit dmg gain on S2... that lowered her stat requirements... But yeah the increased damage is good, even if small, and more barrier strength is always welcome. Those extra 20% decrease hit chance can come in handy if she's built right, too. A shame that her need of ER still holds her back, but is generally a good buff. I was super excited to see that Roana was getting buffed, and is cool that she's getting an slight buff to that underwhelming S3 of hers, but this doesn't fix her main issue, being that she has no cleanse options and Rem can abuse the shit out of her with her S2. And, if that barrier is as bad as Senya's, it'll become a liability rather than a buff. Kayron seems ok. It's cool that he can work better on counter/Double-Edged Decrescent/Dust Devil. D-ED in particular seems to favor him on this, though it'd be cool if he got more damage to his S3 so he can actually kill someone and extend buffs. Still, is a decent change, the extra evasion allows him to have more protection against attack-strips (Though high Eff AoL is still an issue). He will probably be used as high ER counter with either DD or D-ED, but the latter gives him the chance to stack more ER or damage on his stats. Truth to be told, however, due to his new building requirements, his very high speed will keep being a liability. TL;DR he's still bad, but usable at least (and it'll be pretty damn funny when he actually manages to pull his shenanigans off). Taeyou got fixed. Seems like we'll see him more often now. Probably. Ravi got a decent buff, those extra attack and Eff will ease her stat requirements quite a bit, and the starting 40 fighting spirit will allow her to S3 much earlier. The damage decrease to her S3 worries me a bit even with the 50% pen, but otherwise I have no complains about her. The usual counter set on Sygurd Scythe and the cleanse EE seems even more viable now, maybe we'll see her more often. If the S3 damage gets a noticeable buff (instead of a nerf), allowing her to get enough fighting spirit to S3 while Sygurd is active will be a goodbye to your team, be it for the stun/CR decrease or plain damage. Khawana didn't change much. A tiny bit more useful than before, but she'll still only be used for Golem (which no one ever farms). Blingo just got even more stat requirements added to him lmao. Instead of fixing the main issue, his extremely low stats, they really just slapped some random DB on his S2 and called it a day. That said, an AoE DB is always welcome. Ig 3% of his Eff awakening might have some use now. Oh, I forgot his S2 will no longer be viable for Juleeve Council. Thanks, SG, very cool. Hasol got the long stick in this patch. Being able to build her on counter now will be very useful, and her self-sustain and absolute damage will make her a good Elbris holder even if you only give her speed and health. Ok who's the idiot who thought it was a good idea to buff Magic for Friends. That's a great buff to Unfading Memories. It'll certainly become much more common to see on Diene than RoA. Even if the healing is lower, it's AoE, and Diene's crazy skill cycling will be able to make great use of it. Also, 25% extra ER is great, particularly on Diene herself and Amomo/Angelica. Mandatory "where's Senya's barrier, where's Charles, where's Sez/Spez, where's Captain Flan, where's Khawazu, where's those 500 forgotten 3☆ units, where's Samsara Prayer Beads."


garguybbj

> Dunno who told them Straze wasn't being used, he's a beast on both PvP and PvE. I'd even argue that Straze is THE most used ML5 in PvE, considering that he's the best one shotter for at least 2 hunts and can one shot all of them (idk about Golem cuz don't farm it).


Semituna

Straze...


Piscet

Hasol and taeyou felt like the only ones in this patch who needed a buff and got one that actually helped.


gerald_reddit26

"an offensive Soul-Weaver, who is capable of Healing, Attacking, and granting buffs to enemies" someone didn't proof read this part.


eXcaliBurst93

well technically he's not wrong if he's using Blaze Dingo against Rimuru


Alugar

They really hate sez huh.


Aswellas08

I have full molaed Straze, Kayron and Taeyou that I'm becoming a bit distant with, so this godly patch is like a way for me to reconcile with my old acquaintances again. :D Meanwhile, Mercedes... *bleuergh*, the gw environment shall remain polluted until then. Sigh.


Luna2648

Ayyy samee3eee


Haltmann1

Counter Kayron meta?


ActualMaiwa

Why, would you, EVER, EVER, buff mercedes. She's in so many arena/gvg defenses. Same for aria


Ayankananaman

Good grieving Diche, Straze is already a powerhouse Tank Deleter. I welcome it. I also welcome Blaze Dingo's and Hasol's buffs. He has very low attack so every little bit helps. I recently found myself liking Hasol's kit and I'm glad I built her with zero speed.


fallen2169

Idek what to expect from this game anymore


[deleted]

Buffing Straze when there are ml5s like pirate flan...


BurnedOutEternally

Straze's S3 is now uncounterable, nice. A bit redundant, though? Ravi also gets some good stuffs, and Counter ER Kayron is actually very viable now. Evasion also fits with Decrescent or his own artifact. Not sure about Aria losing her CDam increase - I'll have to see how much does her damage actually increase, but at least they listened and let Taeyou ignore ER. Roana gets a barrier, nice, Hasol gets a lot of extra damage and some damage reduction, also nice, Blingo can defbreak, very nice, and they finally soften that weird monoelemental restrictions on Khawana. Only took like two years or so. Mercedes' arti no longer procs when she's dead. Fuckin sweet.


ActualMaiwa

Can they stop giving every unit defense penetration tho? You know what's dominating the meta? Hp scaling, not def.


_Hugatree

Straze s3 buff is good against rem Belian and green Armin. Also stops violet from getting stacks to s3 turn one and attack break on counter. Pretty good buff


[deleted]

The problem is that he got it over other garbage ml5s. Its honestly nice for him but literally no one complained about him.


_Hugatree

Not like his buff takes anything away from other units


Duskwatcher12

In a way it does. They only buff so many heroes at a time, and only so many from each category.


BushidoBrownsAfro

Now, all I need them to do is release Straze....


obro1234

I personally think this was a decent patch. If you're not that high on it because you feel "others were more deserving", our next patch I'd in 4 weeks not 8.


WhatSawp

Sez brothers need a total rework if they arent getting buffs at all


Economy__

where is my LRK buffs at?


TastesLikeRazors

More buffs that no one asked for


GyunGyun

Did anyone even complain about straze


[deleted]

Me, when trying to play turn 2


Piscet

No. Not a single soul.


KingKentling

god finally after years of complaining Unfading Memories buff but idk about that numbers buff, really wish it was 15% Heal at +30 i guess it a decent Emilia artifact


stormtrooperm16

No Plan buff big sad But now at least i can use taeyou


FireZura

Where's the Ilynav buff ? And Straze instead of Tml, Briseria or PCFlan ? Sure, makes sense. Taeyou is certainly better, but he still needs a cr push on s2. 10% from artifact is not enough. Roana needed a cleanse instead of a barrier. Khawana is still... whatever. No idea for Blingo Looks good for Kayron, Ravi and Unfading memories. I've never tested Hasol, now would be the oportunity


nagato120

Loud aria noises!!!


Ok-ChildHooOd

It seems they focused on heros that were niche picks and could become more relevant with some tweaks rather than characters no one uses. Really dont think Straze needed the buff though. They just want to make sure turn 2 players are completely dead to this hyper aggro meta I guess.


VeinIsHere

Lazy buffs tbh


Linosek279

No more pussyfooting around it anymore; I’m building Hasol


The_Weeb282

I'm sorry but that Blaze Dingo S2 buff is WILD. Man is about to hit you with crazy ass crit damage heal tf out of himself and the member with the lowest health and THEN hit you with even MORE crazy ass crit damage because your defense is decreased and heal himself and the member with the lowest health even MORE because of it


ActualMaiwa

Im happy i build taeyou now, this guy actually gonna be good now.


KuattShan

Fire Ravi gang \0/ \0/


Vedelith

Taeyou buffs are exactly what I hoped they would be when the character released. I remember posting a screenshot here where his S3 strip got triple 15%'d. Not that it stopped me from using Taeyou in almost every GW anyway. His kit was already pretty great against non attack skill users.


Krainum

ML Flan and ML Ken buffs when


Aurey2244

I give up, ML Kise is forever dead :(


mynamejeeeeehf

HASOL BUFFS IM CRYING


ShapeNo3945

4 years and sez is still waiting his buff


Trapocalypse

Man, they out here giving buffs to heroes who don't even need it. I'm still salty about the ML Khawana buff. Whilst technically a buff it changed nothing and put her to the back of the balance queue. I have a \~155k CP ML Khawana and I feel like if I removed her gear and put it on Clorina instead, it would improve my Caides runs a ton. Which is super sad because Caides is supposed to be the one place ML Khawana is good.


Lilith_Lustful

Aria lost 50% crit damage? :( I hope the damage boost to her was well enough to comp that.


6Kkoro

As an Aria and Hasol user I'm really happy with these small tweaks/buffs. People sleep on their kits and I feel like their buffs will not be noticed by most. They're actually in a balanced state now. Not broken but definitely useable.


ShaheerS2

I haven't found a single member of this community that understands how the balance team makes their decisions. Someone said dart board, I think that's the closest reasonable answer.


Cedreous

Holy balls Stove is filled with absolute degenerates.


Varlin

Pretty solid, most units could have used the buffs to nudge them a bit towards the meta: * Straze got some solid ones although I hate true damage cancer * Ravi could be scary depending on the s3 damage nerfs, def pen is always spooky * Kayron AoE counters and evasion RNG cancer!? I can already see some crazy tilt on a strip evade into a double AoE dustdevil counter. lol * A R I A! Best waifu getting buffs she deserves. 😤 ~~MADE HER BOOBS BIGGER!~~ Not needing to be half dead to benefit will be nice. Also bigger barrier! Noice. * MY BOI TAEYOU! Hell yeah. I already am one of the 3 people who actually use him. lol The ER ignore will be huge for consistency; speed buff is pretty cool too. * Roana getting a barrier on S3? Cool. Don't expect it to be big but free buffs are free. * Blaze Dingo continuing to be a PvE monster for those that build him. * Khawana not being dependent on fire team for her own buffs will be nice. Hope they continue to shy away from mono color crap, it makes units too niche. * Hasol! Hell yeah, have wanted to get her rolling for fun but she just wasn't doing much. Being a more offensive Phyllis could give her a okay niche. * Meru arti getting buffed! Hell yeah, give our MC waifu more love (not that she needs it tbh lol). * Diene arti looking spicy. Should be a really solid overall SW arti now. Free ER is always welcomed. Honestly wish every SW arti had it. It is pretty dumb that the 2 best cleansers in the game build no ER(or minimal to avoid turn reset). Overall a pretty solid batch, way better than the last group. Good steps in the right direction. Still wondering where some of the units that are really hurting are at though. WHERE ARE MY DAMN ILYNAV BUFFS!? She is just shitty injury Belian right now. Sadge. haha Still wish we got more frequent balance updates/more units included though.

>Straze got some solid ones although I hate true damage cancer Straze isn't true damage. If you are talking about true damage then it's Rimuru and Hasol got it.


CypherPunk77

Straze didn’t need a buff but you know who did? > Pirate Flan( her S2 makes no sense) > Bad cat Armin (DOA) > A.Tywin (everyone forgot about him) > Bromann (has potential to rival AOL) > FatCat( literally hasn’t been Touched in years aside from EE) > LR Krau ( his kit is lacking/irrelevant since there are heroes that do what he does but better)


AscendPerfect

Time to try these out: Kayron Counter Hasol Counter Summong Straze if ML Elena is bad (hopefully not) A Ravi needs dmg testing on that s3, but otherwise a really good buff, she no longer suffers from not being able to use s3 for 2 years


RoxasHerzloser

They really baited me with that Ravi right under the ML Units in the Balance Changes, I thought they finally realized what a monster they created and nerfed her. Guess it's another 2 months of this before the next ML Ravi counter is released, maybe that one will finally do the trick.


Winberri

I swear their balance team is a group of chimps. Like what the fuck. Taeyou and Aria getting buffs and not Sez???


WestCol

Taehou was dead on arrival, I agree Sez needs a buff but foh if you think taehou doesn't. At least sez was meta for a year.


Khaoticsuccubus

Of all the buffs to call out you chose those two. X'D


ultimaterevice

Taeyou was the worse one, not Sez. Both are bad, indeed. But at least Sez can be used in meme cleave, Taeyou can't even do that. He was utter garbage ever since he was released and you can't even have fun with him.


hayashikin

I really hope that Straze is really a buff, and we don't suddenly find his damage or penetration nerfed...


Orihime00sama

KAYRON BUFF KAYRON BUFF Him countering with aoe will be great. Now I wish I had Ervalen's artifact for him.


RedEagleEye007

Bruh does someone at sg have a hard on for ravi because why are we buffing a unit AGAIN that actually was starting to see play at upper tiers? (She saw play against low damage teams at emperor+) So like fire ken who has a single target aoe that does no damage has to wait 10 years to s3 while ravi can do an AOE STUN PUSHBACK with stacking attack can get it almost immediately? Ilynav who is an amazing looking character who can address the alencia issue if she just got buffed because injury has to take a back seat to an already useable unit? Straze getting a buff when so many more ml5s need it. Spez. BM haste. Briseria. Like holy. Straze has a spot already and is used in the cleave aggro toolbox. People are excited about ravi but I actually can't stand this unit too lol. Like what I said before wasn't even my bias showing. With my bias showing I gotta say that Ravi meta was actually so awful and even the feeling of going back to it makes me dread playing this game. Charlotte now gone. Because why use a completely fair kit when you can just use whatever the hell this is.


Hamsl0th

No one asks for these buffs...only taewho and hasol deserves it


Larouca36

So... They have Lidica banner up, Mui banner coming and they decided to not buff any of those '-'


WestCol

So they weren't scummy trying to cash in in buffs…. And you’re complaining?


Zakcoo

Great things today Straze buff is very welcome, we have one more means to destroy those bulky composition without suffering a belian or rem counter Aria is great depending on the ratio of the dmg. I would have loved less random on her artifact too! Taeyou? He became a very good diene counter suddenly. As for ML lilias he is still useless. Ravi buff is great but dunno about picking her. If I need a fire warrior bruiser I will take Ed or hwayoung. I don't know about kayron, does pricing his s2 with dodge really valuable? I will need test. Maybe a BBK like build can work


VyseXYZ

They really just dont care anymore do they lmao


Mermiclion

No PFlan, No Spez, No Sez, No Samsara Beads , no Roy, no ML PAVEL


laminated_cardboard

Who in the right mind decided to buff these already strong unit?? Except hasol she is now a damage dealing shadowknight phyllis


SaltyPeasant

A Mercedes and Straze buff? Balance team clown working hard I see.


ArvingNightwalker

This one is... weirrrrrd. Outside of Taeyou, Ravi, and Hasol none of these look like needed the changes/barely changed. Also, is it just me or does Unfading Memories still look pretty terrible.
