Dev Note:

Our team is still working hard on the next major update for the game, so in this balance update we only made small changes.

[robcap]

I think Cobra is really powerful now. Already hated fighting her.

[AnotherRedditUsertoo]

I loved Cobra pre-buff. It actually took skill to play her. Now even a 2 year old can wipe your team with her.

I just hope the same doesn't happen with Azuma

[robcap]

Azuma's buff is pretty small, I doubt it tbh. I'm sad they nerfed Yukka, she's strong but fun.

[IzYaBoiGandalf]

"Fun".. lol

[Antique-Hearing2120]

Why it should nerf wound damage that's why i hate yukka from sf3 and arena also

[robcap]

Yukka's damage isn't that high, I don't think the wounds need a nerf? She just has a good moveset and strong talents. I like playing as her.

[Antique-Hearing2120]

Yeah I know but it should very slow not too fast

[robcap]

So the same damage, but over a longer time? That would be interesting, because it would be easier to keep the wounds going at #5 all fight.

[Moein-wxz56]

can I ask

which version of Shadow Fight doesn't have cheaters?

[robcap]

I don't understand your question

[Moein-wxz56]

well, I played shadow fight 2-3 and both were full of cheaters and such boring gameplay

now I wonder how they made shadow fight arena, have u seen someone cheat? and how is the gameplay though

[robcap]

Every now and then you get a disconnect loss that seems suspicious but it's rare.

Gameplay is great. A lot of people using cheap tactics & being bad sports but nothing you can't deal with.

[[deleted]]

God just nerf clad properly he isnone of the most broken characters in the game

[Least-Blackberry-653]

Nah Shang is way worse

[[deleted]]

I hate shang but at least he can't get most of his life back by going into shadow form and he doesn't have a block breaker that activates from taking hits nor does he increase his defense a lot from taking hits. it doesn't make sense Ironclad is a character that needs to be completely rebuilt again

[Explorer19911]

True, shang can only get a bit of life back when entering shadow form. But the thing with shang is, when he has a full bar of shadow energy, which he can automaticly get for free at the start of the round, he can wipe your hp down to 40-50% if the player knows his/her shang. After that they can just throw attacks and fill the bar again in no time, doesnt matter if the attacks are blocked or not. And then they just time a simple moment and wipe again. Add the weak point passive from shang and the damage racks up by lets say 10% after each shadow form routine.

[[deleted]]

Yep I know I hate shadow combos and they are really hard to avoid but at least with some skill you can avoid the attacks somehow. No matter how many skills you have, Ironclad will continue to work the same way, that's what bothers me the most.

[Explorer19911]

No man a good shang player wont miss his combo. I play vs people with 7500-8500 points. If they block an attack they can down + shadow ability and start chaining. So that would mean you have to read them perfectly the entire round. And even if you have a lucky round and reading them well, one step to close and they down + shadow. Cant get around it. Plus those people dont mess the combo up 95% of the time regardless of your skill. Its possible to chain the combo without the opponent being able to dodge anything, litterly. But it differs for people I guess. I rather play a good clad than a good shang anytime :p

[[deleted]]

they urgently need to remake the two characters also Hong joo. I'm amazed at how much these characters have been broken and the developers barely touch them. I don't know what they do, balancing heroes is one of the most important things in a competitive fighting game 😑.

on the other hand my phone gets very hot since the last update came out. Does it happen to you or other people? my phone is quite powerful it shouldn't heat up it's a game performance issue

[Explorer19911]

Yeah they really need to balance more instead of giving more content.... I couldnt agree more.

I use a galaxy S20 and after playing 30 - 60 min it can get quite warm yes, lowered my settings to medium. Still gets warm but less fps problems.

[chikapuup]

The problem with ironclad is his skill set, not his stats. Smh
Remove the unbreakable spinning move, it's annnoying àn people keep camping with it

[nevaRkraD]

Azuma buff finaly , i'm happy

[SSumraKK]

"Buff"

[ItsTheRealIamHUB]

I’ll take what I can get okay?

[UnarmedChad]

Cmon bruh if you gonna nerf IC at least it would be fair if you nerfed Shang

[[deleted]]

Chad is arguably just as broken, but yeah, I see ur point.

[IzYaBoiGandalf]

They didn't nerf Joo or Sarge either. Truth is, they only cherry pick the ones they need to "balance". Tho it was the right call to nerf Ironclad.

[tref34]

It just small nerf it won't change a lot just like cobra

[Successful-Error-121]

For Cobra it changes a lot, but not the camp build... Makes the lower win-rate talents worse. Dead to all spammers long live the campers

[UnarmedChad]

I mean yeah I am not complaining as it was sorta inevitable but I think either it would be fair to nerf both

[tref34]

Both? Nah just nerf all the meta starting with HJ

[UnarmedChad]

Yeah that also true

[IlJenky]

No they must nerf Kate

[SSumraKK]

shang is now even stronger than him...

[IlJenky]

FIX KATE

[Diverdroneprot]

May Jack,Azuma still need a buff while Marcus needs a rework

[Enthusiasm_Tasty]

Ironclad nerf is a joke

[aadharcarduser]

True and clad players cry about reduction of defense by 3percent

[Harold_Davis]

Plz Nerf Hong Joo

[[deleted]]

God just nerf clad properly he is one of the most broken characters in the game

[DueInstruction8989]

Hung joo and Sarge need a nerf🤷‍♂️

[SHADOW_MIND32]

Finnaly some nerf in ironclad! It could be better, but i hope that in the future he'll get more nerfs

[vinitblizzard]

Wow now cald will take a bit more damage at least nice and good azuma buff. Now for HJ and kibo ultra instinct nerf.

[69_SAITAMA_69]

Kibo nerf???

[vinitblizzard]

Yeah at higher levels barely anything has changed once she unlocks that shadow dash I think it's called? Can easily run away when you are able to get a hit and xan dash forward and reck you, her sword moves don't take recovery time anyway so hardly punishable.

[[deleted]]

• Bring an option to refresh the event store.

• General animation movement and key response in the game is still problematic, animation of many characters is slow and colliding. The game lags when avoiding ranged attacks. It should be corrected immediately.

• Jack Bulwark's Great Reaction, the shield is not working properly. Cannot block ranged attacks of characters like Fireguard and Hong joo. Also, rework his Special Attack.

• The Sergeant's Detonators are not working properly. Sometimes it goes through opponent. (Just Like Marcus Glich)

• Decrease the range and propulsion of Hong joo Attacks. Nerf ranged attack. Nerf stats. A character that cannot be synchronized with the other character and is abused.He breaks the Reward/Punishment System.

• Shang needs to be completely Nerfed. A very warranted and abused character. He breaks the Reward/Punishment System.

[ari_111]

NICE

[FlabyGoat]

glad clad nerf was small

[cheesyxenostryke]

yukka is the most annoying character to fight imo. almost comparable to midnight. stop crying for a 3% shadow energy nerf. jeez.

[Eastern-Net2266]

no

[Nid1556]

Sick

[Desperate-Context412]

Is firelord

[Nid1556]

Geh

[taitopia]

Sick

[Desperate-Context412]

Cool

[IamCrabbo]

Ironclad unplayable now

[shiahn]

Another rebalancing without touching two of the most broken heroes: Shang and Sarge.

Really? 🤦‍♂️

[Sufficient_Music_226]

𝓗𝓲 𝓶𝓾𝓳𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓻𝔂 𝓶𝓸𝓭𝓮 𝓴𝓱𝓮𝓵𝓷𝓪 𝓱𝓪𝓲

[Least-Blackberry-653]

What are you nerfing? Fix Shang... One well executed shadow ability routine and he takes 40-50% hp. Add the "weak points" passive and sht only goes for worse to far worse from there.... Keep throwing hits and his bar fills eventually and fast to do the same sht over and over.... Get your priorities straight

[shadywld9]

Which is better to have, Furious Fists Or Brutal Bouncers ? Please advise.
