Upon analyzing the battle data since releasing the last update and considering weapons' relationships to the weapons for which we improved performance last time, we have slightly extended the flight distance of shots for some weapons with shorter shot flight distances than those we improved last time, and made changes to strengthen the traits of or compensate for the weaknesses of some weapons with shot flight distances similar to those we previously improved.

Regarding theSnipewriter 5H,Snipewriter 5B,Mint Decavitator, andCharcoal Decavitator, we made changes to slightly reduce the ability to maintain ink from a distance to give opponents wielding weapons with shorter shot flight distances more time to counter.

For theTrizooka, we have maintained its trait as aspecial weapon capable of turning the tables if used well, while simultaneously making it easier to counter by shortening the time that players on the opposing team must be wary of the Trizooka and reducing cases where such players are defeated due to accumulated damage despite taking evasive actions.

Additionally, forTricolor Turf War, we have adjusted the arrangement of certain stages that have significant statistical leaning in the win ratio for the attacking teams or defending team.

The next update will focus on changes to the balance of battles based on long-term analysis of battle data.

• ▲ Increased the speed of shots by approximately 3% and extended the flight distance.

• ▲ Increased the speed of shots by approximately 3% and extended the flight distance.

• ▲ Increased the speed of shots by approximately 3% and extended the flight distance.

• ▲ Movement speed while firing is now about 5% faster.
• ▲ Reduced the scatter of shots while on the ground by approximately 5%.

• ▲ Reduced the scatter of shots while jumping by approximately 33%.

• ▲ Slightly expanded vertical swings' collision detection with players to make it easier to hit opponents.

• ▲ Shortened the interval between continuous swings by approximately 1/30th of a second.

• ▲ Reduced the time required to charge fully by approximately 1/20th of a second.
  • With this change, the time until the first level of charge ends is also reduced by approximately 1/30th of a second.

• ▲ Increased firing duration by approximately 11%.
• ▲ Reduced the time required to charge fully by approximately 1/20th of a second.
  • With this change, the time until the first level of charge ends is also reduced by approximately 1/30th of a second.

• ▲ Increased the speed of shots by approximately 3% and extended the flight distance.

• ▲ Slightly expanded the collision detection with players of shots fired from a normal posture to make it easier to hit opponents.
  
  • There is no change to the fact that collision detection is greater for shots fired after a Dodge Roll.

• ▲ Slightly expanded the width of spray droplets created by shots.
  
• ▲ Reduced the amount of ink consumed when firing a shot by approximately 14%.

• ▼ Slightly decreased the width of spray droplets created by shots.

• ▼ Lengthened the time required for movement to begin when lunging forward with a charge swipe by approximately 1/30th of a second.
  
• ▼ Reduced the width of spray droplets created by the ink wave of horizontal slashes by approximately 12%.

• ▼ Fixed an issue where the controller rumbled when shots from the Luna Blaster, Luna Blaster Neo, and Order Blaster Replica hit terrain. The rumble was removed by decreasing the explosion radius multiplier when a shot hits terrain: 0.5x → 0.4687x.

• ▲ Increased the damage dealt by the explosion at the point of impact when the stamp is thrown in the following ways.
  • Increased the damage dealt to opponents near the center of the explosion from 60.0 to 220.0.
  • Increased the damage dealt to opponents further from the center of the explosion from 30.0 to 60.0.

• ▲ Increased the radius inked by the explosion by approximately 11%.

• ▼ For the explosion at the point of impact, reduced the damage dealt to opponents further from the center of the explosion to 35.0.
  • The damage dealt to opponents near the center of the explosion remains 53.0.
• ▼ Shortened the duration by approximately 1/2 a second when not equipping the Special Power Up gear ability.
  • The effect gained from equipping the maximum number of Special Power Up gear abilities will not change.

• Changed some terrain near the attacking teams' spawn points to terrain that cannot be inked.
• It is now easier to progress forward because, along with slightly expanding the selectable area in Squid Spawn when the defending team starts, shielding objects have been added near the spawn point.

• Added shielding objects to make it easier for the attackers to progress forward.
• Expanded the area inked by the Sprinkler of Doom.

• Expanded the area inked by the first Sprinkler of Doom.

• Changed some terrain near the attacking teams' spawn points to terrain that cannot be inked.

• Expanded the terrain near the attacking teams' spawn point.
• Changed some terrain near the defending team's spawn point to terrain that cannot be inked.
• Made it easier to invade the center by expanding the grate platform near the height difference connecting the area near the attacking teams' spawn points to the center, and also adding an inkrail.
• Changed the positions of some obstacles to make it easier to go for the Ultra Signal.
