Character Adjustments

FROM THE DEVS:

HIRO HAMADA

Hiro is one of those characters with such good all-around utility that most of the time it feels like you HAVE to bring him into combat to be competitive. We wanted to bring his power more in line with other supports characters and also address the significant 30% Speed bonus that he was giving to his BH6 allies, which in the end was too much of a bonus. Also, with the change to his Microbarrier ability we wanted to retain the ability to give AoE Evasion, however this should only happen in a more specific team-comp. Overall Hiro is still a very good and viable character for PvP play, and these changes will open up the possibility for players to experiment with some new team compositions.

SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM

Put simply, the Sheriff was just laying down the law way too hard with his special abilities and was able to one-shot characters in certain situations. These changes aim to remove the ability to have unbounded damage scaling but still allow for big hits if the correct conditions are met.

SVEN

Sven was in the same boat as Sheriff in terms of needing an upper limit on the amount of bonus damage scaling on his abilities. Some of the hits from Sven that we’ve seen go way beyond what we intended in terms of Sven’s damage output. However, we still want Sven to be able to lay out decent damage if the correct conditions are met, so these changes are intended achieve that balance.

STITCH

Only one change was made to Stitch which was to put an upper limit to the duration that Stitch can extend Defense Down on a target opponent. Similar to Sheriff and Sven this unbounded damage scaling made for some unintentionally-strong attacks, so this change is intended to address that.

COBRA BUBBLES

Cobra Bubbles is a beast of a character. His abilities do many, many things, and then he also deals out significant damage. The changes we’ve made to Cobra Bubbles bring him more in line with other support characters, however we suspect he will still retain a very high status as a high-utility support. Overall Cobra still plays similarly to how he did before but he is tuned to be more balanced.

HONEY LEMON

Honey Lemon is another great character in terms of her support utility. The one change we made with her was to reduce the damage of her “Now That’s A Chemical Reaction” ability. It was hitting too hard and also inflicting very strong debuffs, so we tuned the damage down a bit to achieve a better balance given this ability’s utility.

  • Hiro Hamada
    • Special A – Microbarrier
      • Changed level 2 upgrade ‘Grants affected teammates Evasion.’ to ‘Grants affected Tech teammates Evasion.’
    • Special B – Upgrades
      • Increased Magic cost from 3 -> 4
      • Reduced the amount of Speed Meter that Hiro gains from 30% -> 10% at base ability  level.
    • Leader – Use Those Big Brains
      • Changed level 3 and level 4 upgrades from ‘+5% Speed.’ to ‘+2% Speed for ‘Tech’ teammates’. This means that the ‘Big Hero 6’ Speed boost will NOT scale up with the upgrades but instead will remain a fixed value of 6% across all upgrade levels.
      • Changed ‘Big Hero 6 teammates gain an additional 15% Speed.’ to ‘Big Hero 6 teammates gain an additional 6% Speed.’

 

  • Sheriff of Nottingham
    • Special A – Well-Timed Treachery
      • Changed ‘bonus damage dealt’ values to the following:
        • Base level: 75% -> 30%
        • Upgrade level 2: 30% -> 20%
        • Upgrade level 4: 30% -> 20%
    • Special B – Big Bellied Bully
      • Changed ‘bonus damage dealt’ values to the following:
        • Moved initial unlock of bonus damage logic to upgrade level 2
        • Upgrade level 2: 25% bonus damage -> 5% bonus damage
      • Changed ‘Deal X% bonus damage per Helpful effect on this character.’ to ‘Deal X% bonus damage per Helpful effect on this character, up to a max of 10.’

 

  • Sven
    • Basic – Reindeer Dash
      • Changed ‘Damage is increased by 25% per Helpful effect on this character.’ to ‘Damage is increased by 10% per Helpful effect on this character, up to a max of 10’.

 

  • Stitch
    • Basic
      • Changed “Each hit from this attack has a X% chance to inflict or extend Defense Down for 1 turn.” to “Each hit from this attack has a X% chance to inflict or extend Defense Down for 1 turn, up to a max of 5.”

 

  • Cobra Bubbles
    • Basic – Information Is Power
      • Reduced damage dealt on this ability since we felt it was currently undervaluing the utility of the Magic gain that it offers for Cobra’s special abilities.
    • Special A – Staredown
      • Changed level 2 upgrade from ‘Inflict Silence for 1 turn.’ to ‘50% chance to inflict Silence for 1 turn.’
      • Reduced initial Speed Meter decrease from 30%->10%
      • Increased Magic cost from 3->4
    • Special B – Call Me Next Time
      • Base level:
        • Lowered duration of Tactics, Haste and Offense Up from 2 -> 1.
      • Increased Magic cost from 4->5

 

  • Honey Lemon
    • Special A – Now That’s A Chemical Reaction
      • Reduced damage amount by X%. This ability was never meant to smack as hard as it does given the fact that it is doing so many other strong debuffs.
