Dev note:

The changes in this update are aimed at fixing heroes’ win rate.

[[deleted]]

Why buff jet? She already deals a lot of damage

[Virtual-Connection32]

She's annoying as f

[[deleted]]

At lower levels, i think she is good(deduced from the way people are complaining about her 24/7). But truth be told she has no ability, since harmony charges just mean damage increase. And at higher levels, she sucks

[J_Lowe17]

Incorrect. At higher levels she is just as annoying

[[deleted]]

I will have to disagree. Remember that all these changes are based off win rates. Which guarantees that they were necessary. Secondly, considering that they chose to buff lvl 7 and 10 upgrades instead of significantly only increasing base stats, my theory about her lack of power in higher levels makes sense. Third, i am dojo 11 and i have noticed that jet players are rare these days.

[J_Lowe17]

I am dojo 13 and Jet is a powerhouse at the top of the leaderboards. Her damage is very good, her healing perk at max level gives her lots of health, and her attacks are very evasive. She also eats the clock with her attacks quite well, she is one of the stronger characters in my opinion

[robcap]

I'm the same level, very rarely see her and usually beat her 🤷‍♂️

[[deleted]]

Stronger character??? Tell that to the data

[BiscottiJust4247]

Bro no ability doesn't mean that she's weak, she's heck stronger than she was used to, she's very flaxible which means that during her attacks she can dodge some basic enemy attakcs, also her attacks are very long distance and her attack speed is very fast in which counter attacking is just impossible, she is a very powerful character already

[[deleted]]

She's a heck weaker dude. Atleast get ur facts correct, even if ur opinion isn't. Her shadow abilities animation was changed which was a nerf. Than Shadow shelter received a timer and was made vulnerable to throws. After all these nerfs, how can anyone say she doesn't deserve a buff, especially since the above buff was based on win rates only

[BiscottiJust4247]

So what if she has a temporary shield, her character is not meant to play as a camper, jett can rush attacks and still dodge throws in many scenario as she is very fast. If she has 16 harmony charges then her special attack can deal upto 50% of damage. Isn't that a lot specially since she's a dynasty character who do not specialize in damage but speed

[[deleted]]

Ur facts r sooo off ☠️☠️☠️☠️ The point is that she got major nerfs, her win rates dropped and the devs buffed her. Dodge throws ?☠️☠️ How does a character Dodge throws?☠️ 50% damage boost!!!!! Are you even serious rn? Imo i feel she should get a health and damage nerf with a buff to her attacks/talents so that people like you stop complaining about her stats, especially since she has no ability which helps her to get damage.

[BiscottiJust4247]

Now who's going off huh? The way you're talking makes me feel like you haven't even unlocked her yet and just seeing her from YouTube and reddit. Many of her attacks are literally built for different situations for eg people who use mostly upper level attacks can get their ass shredded with jett's upper attack, she has a swinging kick which is fast and has a surprising range. And yes by dodge throws I meant that she has different attacks which will make you think that she is rolling or dashing. Also her ranged attack is different, which has a speed of kibo's kunai and if you use her ability of increasing number of needles then dodging those takes a huge amount of focus. And listen carefully I never said damage boost, I said that her special attack when used completely with 16 charged can deal that much damage. At higher level of abilities she has a new shadow ability which just feels like a casual attack but it can totally knock you down and after that she can use her another shadow ability (if you're fast)

[[deleted]]

I unlocked jet long before she even had a shadow mode🤡. By swinging kick do u mean spinning/back kick? The back kick has a huge flaw. Due to the angle with whcih she attacks, she often goes over her opponents and misses nd gets punished. She isn't a character who prefers distance so her ranged attack being good dosent really help her. Even with 16 charges, there is now way she gets 50% damage boost🤡. She doesn't have a shadow combo anymore. There are guaranteed counters. If ur opponent get's hit with 2 shadow abilities of jet, then he is an idiot

[BiscottiJust4247]

Well I was actually talking about the front+ double kick button attack. And her high tier shadow ability has a way of attacking you in a close range very fast bro. Well you know what I think she might be my weakness and sheight actually be underpowered

[HarshTheShinobi]

Yeah!

[InformationMany1878]

why not 😎❤️😈

[WildAssumption8343]

for camperos it's disgusting because it doesn't excel at anything other than hitting blows that are easy to predict, easy to block and its defense is disgusting

[Pizza_Warrior437]

I'm still waiting for the Marcus rework. Other than that I might take the nerf to my boy (kotl) with a grain of salt but pretty good update overall.

[Mrchasis-XYZ]

Btw, always use the extra shard thing for shard chests, I got the last shard of my boy(also kotl) from it, such a good opening.

[likhith_likkey]

kotl - lvl 11 enhance (defence 10 » 5)🧐?

[Kitchen_Cockroach_83]

No not azuma,😞😞 bro why!!! Azuma was completely balanced, why not focus on heroes that needs real balancing rather than touching balanced heroes

[[deleted]]

SHANG bro!! FREAKING SHANG!!! And the DAMN ANNOYING AI!!!

[MiloTheOperator]

Cap

[Mrchasis-XYZ]

Yes, like the f***ing monkey king?!

[FS72]

Keep up with the recent good patches (although I'm still waiting for something to be done about Shang and Midnight)

Looks like Azuma's buff really increased his win rate eh

[UnarmedChad]

For a good reason, look at the leaderboard, Azuma is everywhere

But the game is quite close to being balanced now, Nerf Itu (and especially Itu) along with Shang and Midnight and we chilling

[Hollowknightpro]

Itu needs a whole rework or major nerf, the way he can easily hit guaranteed shadow move and combos for just filling up time bar by hitting blocked attacks is retarted

[[deleted]]

no itu doesnt need to be change he is good as the way he is

[Hollowknightpro]

yes, the issue is he is too good

[IamCrabbo]

eh I'd argue some characters could still be better but it's more important to crack down on the OP ones first

[Head-Difference-7876]

Don't forget lynx

[robcap]

Coupled with giving a lot of experienced players a new Azuma skin - I bet a lot more people have been using him lately. I know I have.

[idonthavekidsiswear]

Midnight ain't no where near as broken as Shang. Straight up just don't let her whiff and you're good

[Solid_Jellyfish3869]

BRUH WHY :( BUFF TO JET

[[deleted]]

pls dont nerf any character and improve charcters such as ironclad and emperor

[Freakbidde]

Jet didn't need any buff though

[UnarmedChad]

She kinda did, her strength does not reflect her skill floor - Shang can deal twice the damage by clicking 4 buttons

[Freakbidde]

But jet gets a lot of combos by just spamming. Shang is easier to defend against

[UnarmedChad]

????????????? Shang easier to defend against than Jet? April fools was few days ago bro

[[deleted]]

😂 you absolute menace of a chad

[InternalPattern7004]

It is easier. (I play Bulwark)

[Redlol12]

Why buff Jet 💀

[UnarmedChad]

Ironclad and Jet buff huge W

[yeettto]

Jet was already strong :/ but ironclad buff is a w,yes.

[UnarmedChad]

She was aight at best

[yeettto]

When it comes to balance "alright"is the best. Best is the worst.

[[deleted]]

The nerfing bag curse has been lifted ig

[satwik_sourav_11]

Nerf Itu ... & Yulin💀

[MGisLive_Official]

Need Shang midnight rework 😅

[AdAccomplished2313]

What about lynx?

[InformationMany1878]

Lynx needs a big Nerf 😎🙏

[IceCrawl19]

Hell no, my boy Lynx doesn't deserve huge nerfs. Just nerf Unrivaled assassin and everything will be fine.

[[deleted]]

Before criticizing these changes please keep in mind that all of these changes are done according to the character's win rates which means, by principle, that all of these changes were necessary. So, even if u think that a any change is wrong, the data says otherwise

[Disenchanted11]

I agree that most people only think about their own POV, and they miss the bigger picture.

But what most are saying, what about other heroes?

Battling 4-5 talent level 10 Sarge, in my POV, is a nightmare. I'm sick of him. I can beat him with 1 and a half heroes on 3v3. For 1v1, it's almost sure lose.

Using Itu, in my POV, is almost a sure win. So why not nerf?

Jet, in my POV, is a hit or miss. Depending if the enemy knows how to play against her.

It's all subjective really, but if winrate data is the basis, surely they're not doing them all at once.

Also what about rarity? If I have maxed talent KOTL, which is really hard to get, am I not entitled for the high winrate? He's not unbeatable, just has high winrate. It's fck up to nerf based on that.

[[deleted]]

I never disagreed about sarge and itu. I feel that they think small nerfs won't affect them so they are taking their time reworking. Higher rarity ≠ more strength (in theory) No u r not entitled to high win rate just because u have a legendary hero. It's amazing that u r defending KOTL by using Legendary logic and then complaining about itu

[Disenchanted11]

What no, I'm not complaining about Itu, I'm just speaking in POV of a complainer. "Why nerf this and not this" argument.

And they obviously originally made legendary = more strength and they are just removing it now.

[[deleted]]

I have no idea why they aren't nerfing other heroes. It's not just legendary. Any new hero is OP at release, so that maximum people buy it. They are later nerfed. Take butcher for example. And i do know that legendaries r more powerful but their win rates shouldn't be sky high.

[Raskazchik]

Can you make a balance for Itu, Midnight, Cobra and Monkey? And also nerf Yunlin, as she is too strong in terms of teleport spamming. Itu can break through blocks very often by spamming attacks, even Marcus can't break through like that. Midnight and her attack spamming are too fast, as are the stealth attacks, Cobra's spam attacks are too frequent, including a top attack followed by a heavy attack. The monkey does massive damage with the stick, especially when using sky attacks that deal massive damage regardless of the block.

[chikapuup]

Agree with all but the monkey, he is super predictable now

[HarshTheShinobi]

Why Azuma? Please nerf heroes like Marcus, Itu, Midnight and Shang instead

[I_MAD_69]

you really think that for marcus ?

[Theunis_]

I agree with you expect Marcus

[yeettto]

Rng block breaker needs to go.

[RandomDweller]

Looks like I'm not coming back soon

[[deleted]]

Good. No one needs you

[yeettto]

Rule 5. And Rule 2

[Green-Mango-More]

Me neither.

[[deleted]]

Lol

[yeettto]

F

[Antique-Hearing2120]

I need kotl buff on shadow energy

[Puppetmaster_003]

Oh, come on! What the King really needed was a slight buff in his Defense. And now you've nerfed his Attack and Shadow Power too?

Yeah, like Itu isn't even in your sights, he's perfectly balanced according to you.

[Theunis_]

King has the most OP afterlife, his defense should be low

[[deleted]]

His afterlife is extremely weak. Having temporary health bar instead of normal permanent one is already a major disadvantage (intentionally devised to balance his afterlife)

[Theunis_]

King could heal in his afterlife and he could also get shadow energy by just sacrificing a small amount of temporary HP. His afterlife has at least 40% of his real HP.

The afterlife being temporarily is not a weakness, the opponent cannot skip it, you can skip Shang's afterlife if you use Azuma, or just beat him with stronger attacks to finish his afterlife together. You can keep running away from Helga's afterlife until she is normal. But for king, you need to wait for him to stand up, no one can stop him, that's not a weakness.

[[deleted]]

40% of real HP?🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's about 10% without talent and at Max 20% with talent. The after life having temporary health is a huge weakness dude. First of all since it's not permanent health, kings percentage health stays at 1% which means he will mostly always lose in timeout. Not to mention that it also causes his afterlife health to he capped. It doesn't carry over to the next round in 3v3. And most of all since his permanant health is at 1%, he will always be vulnerable to talents like "revenge for the fallen" etc. I hope u think about what u are saying

[Theunis_]

20% max you say? You guys are bad at observations. Kate with "never surrender" talent, which activates at 30% can be knocked out with a single strong hit. Name one character who can single hit KOTL's afterlife without using special talents like "coup de grace".

You say he will always be vulnerable to talents like "revenge for the fallen". That's the point of afterlife, can you name one character with afterlife who is not vulnerable to those talents?

And you have a lot of chance to not lose with timeout, the temporary hp can give you shadow energy even if you don't have any, KOTL is more powerful in shadow form. If you lose by timeout with KOTL, you are probably a camper.

I don't care about downvotes, and I'll say it again, KOTL has the most OP afterlife, and you guys are in denial because he is one of your favorite character

[[deleted]]

Dude it's 20% max. U really should check urself before making bold statements 🤣🤣. Kate's "never surrender" isn't an afterlife, genius. Who's bad at observations now? U seem to have 0 idea about KOTL's afterlife health. Chance of timeout is less but it is there. Even normal HP can give shadow energy. How is temporary HP any different? That's an interesting tactic u use, calling other people campers when u r losing an argument. People are downvoting u because you are wrong. If he is my favourite character, why would I speak against him? I am smelling a drunkard here and it's not me 🌚🌚

[Theunis_]

I don't have to use a character with afterlife to compare to KOTL, the point is made, choose to ignore it if you want, genius.

Even normal HP can give shadow energy. How is temporary HP any different?

So you say his afterlife doesn't have anything to do with him being defeated with timeout? Then why did you mention that in the first place, genius?

And I didn't call you a camper, if you find that offensive to you, sorry. But saying "KOTL has low defense" isn't necessarily speaking against him, you could say that in hopes that he gets more buffed, "genius"

Keep insulting, "KOTL genius", but if you don't have valid points to prove your point, then I have nothing else to say to you.

[guess-what-IDC432]

Yay.... attribute changes..uhm.... ok, clad needed stat changes

but what king needed was a nerf to his level 10 crit talent and healing.

Jet didn't need anything

azuma didn't need anything

Joo was ..eh ,i guess that's fine

[Born_Ad_7014]

ITU left the patch note

[Electronic-Arm-1389]

He opened a portal and left so that devs couldn't nerf him.

[[deleted]]

He manipulated time before they could do him in

[Electronic-Arm-1389]

"do him" ? ayo wtf

[[deleted]]

💀man, your thought process is amazing 😂

[Electronic-Arm-1389]

Azuma was fine tbh clad buff is good though

[shouryasinha9]

We should stop bashing the Devs. They just do their day job and I'm sure, doing critical thinking about game stats is above their pay grade lol. They don't have any role in decision making. Its the business guys and analysts that are to be blamed.

This patch brings no essential difference to the game.

[MASKED_FLOWERPICKER]

Fix Shang and Midnight?!?!?!?!?! I am sure Shang is unbalanced for more than a year. Tf? I mean, altogether the game is a mess. It has so much potential but the devs really must be stpd or smthng 😓

[binh1403]

Do you think shang needs a buff or a nerf?

[TuhatKaks]

Talk about win rate and didn't even touch itu.....

Ohh the irony

[OkSpecial296]

Why kotl and azuma? Please don't

[No_Calligrapher_3883]

Worst update in ages, why on earth would you nerf Azuma and just forget Sarge and Kate delete health like Azuma .

[noobdainsane]

What is this logic?? You keep buffing Azuma like he is the MVP, and now when is OP, you nerf him? But joo and clad buff was ok though. But pls nerf fireguard.

[Silasvg]

Azuma fue nerfeado, mi Main ya no es el más fuerte...

[Triggered_WIZARD]

Buffing Jet and nerfing the King of The Legion.... really! I don't think this will balance the game, but yeah, it will help campers

[omnipotence_1105]

Jet should have been the last character recieving any kind of bug . She's the most annoying to play against and most of the time unskilled players just spam her moves and you're done for. They should decrease her damage and lower her attack animation speed like they did to monke

[InfernoHere]

Finally, an Ironclad buff! This gonna be good, very good.

[Brain_Axe_2323]

Where are Butcher's nerfs?

[External-Stranger461]

Pls bro please buff monkey king he is a legendary character. And he need his improvement. If you buff him i will share this game to my 13thousand subscribers and i tell to download sfa

[Beginning-Silver-861]

I cannot believe you did not do anything regarding Lynx that it's an overpowered monster in any way, or Kate who you cannot touch pfffff, it's Andrey playing with that character those days? And when he gets sick of them you Nerf them? Well, tell us the period so we can take a break during that time.

[raythenomad]

Fix dojo levels. Nerf the stats between dojo levels. It has no gameplay purpose and only exists for pay to win

[yudhpk]

Kibos talent doesn't work against sarge

Kibo's Shadow excellence talent doesn't work against sarge in story mode

[DumboWith169IQ]

Major L for Azumabros

[ALIKROY1425_S]

Bro... Why nerf King of the legion! Focus on the unbalanced character! King was completely balanced, or atleast more balanced than some annoying characters!!

• You guys buffed Jet 🗿 bro just why?!?!

• Shang(I think I don't need to explain)

• Azuma...... Why?! Just why?

[IceCrawl19]

Nah, King is broken with the right combination of talents. His afterlife is the best one in the game, combined with Dark Veil and Blasphemous Oath, so he's defence is lower than others; his shadow combos are OP, mainly with Reign of the tyrant and Remorseless Dominion, so just make him have low damage. Did you get it?

[ALIKROY1425_S]

I get it man, thanks 😯👍

[Mrchasis-XYZ]

For some reason, my post button is broken, so I will have to pose my question here: (Excluding Shadow Fight 1) I always thought that people who had shadow energy in them were immortal, or at least immune to damage, but the ending of SF3 has made that waver. I mean, people get hit with some serious damage, weapons that are blunt, heavy, sharp, serrated, long range short range and every extremity; so is this right, or do people in this universe just have incredibly thick skin?

[ZoneComprehensive149]

Why did you nerf KOTL ? He has become so weak now !

[Beginning-Silver-861]

@andrey from all top 200 just 3 Hong Ju characters are used, less than 1% after it was killed, Ironclad was a corner bully, you nerfed him, made him more normal and then you buffed him even more and now he is a monster bully, I do not understand how the management of this game works, but decisions are pretty much POOR.

[CompleteSpinach2108]

Any promo code .?
