BONJOUR Strikers. We’re serving you up the fattest micropatch of the day today, it’s pretty low carb and features things like BUFFS and NERFS and stuff like that. You know how it is. We’ve actually got a tiny little surprise for you cookin' in our proverbial oven so keep your eyes peeled for that as we wrap things up there!! Alright then for now, let’s just jump into this micropatch.


STRIKERS

Asher icon.png Asher

Asher is not only the queen of a lot of your hearts, she’s also been the queen of the field. We’re toning her down as both goalie and forward to keep her in line. Don’t worry tho, she’s still plenty toned.

    • Cooldown :: 15s → 16s

    • DOT Damage :: 18(+9% Power) →20(+10% Power)
    • (Full duration burn damage :: 265.5 → 295)

    • Core Knockback :: 1340 (+180% Power) → 1350 (+185% Power)

Octavia icon.png Octavia

Last patch hit her a little harder than we intended so we’re splitting the difference and giving her a little gift of stagger for good measure. It’s ain’t OCTober without and OCTavia buff lol. Octavia Omega Strikers. October.
