We’re back again with another big patch!
This time around we’ve added unique Health values for each character. These values roughly equate to what we’re expecting the character’s Health to be at level 50. In addition to this, we’ve included several much needed bug fixes and some changes to how status conditions are applied.
Gameplay Changes
Lock-on camera tracking has been adjusted. The lock-on camera tracks a bit slower now, requiring the user to make small manual adjustments to their aim in order to reliably hit their shots. It no longer perfectly centers the reticle on the target at all times. We’ll continue making improvements to lock-on in future patches.
Removed player tag from all displays except the main menu.
A sound now plays when the user is matched with an opponent.
Balance Changes

Embear: Max Health at current level increased from 250 to 255.
Kodoki: Max Health at current level decreased from 250 to 235.
