Hello everyone,

Today we're releasing a new Major Balance Update, which will include the following changes:

- Nerfs for characters that have been performing stronger than intended.

- Small buffs and optimizations for characters that needed some attention.

- Few reworks aimed at making certain characters feel fresh again and bringing new variety to the Ladder experience.

In addition, we'll be sharing more information about upcoming events too.

Ladder Event

• A separate event Ladder Rank will be created, and all players will start at 0 XP.
• Each victory will grant 350 XP, while each defeat will deduct 250 XP.
• Players will level up within the event Ladder Rank using the XP gain and loss system described above.
• The player who finishes in 1st place at the end of the week will be crowned the Winner and receive Rewards.
• Resetting your account will also reset any XP earned in the event Ladder Rank.
• Note: This event Ladder Rank is completely separate from your regular Ladder Rank. It will not affect your current level or XP in any way.

Hello everyone,

First of all, we'd like to introduce a few new competitive systems focused on seasonal progression and clan activity. This update is smaller than our usual major content patches, but it lays the foundation for future seasonal features and rewards.

We are officially introducing the new Season Streak System. This system will track streaks separately from the player's permanent streak, allowing everyone to compete in seasonal rankings without interfering with their existing records.

Additionally, we are introducing the new Top Clan of the Season ranking system. Clans will now compete throughout the season for the highest position and exclusive recognition.

To further support clan competition, we have also added a new contribution tracking system that stores the amount of XP generated for the clan by each individual member during the current season.

These systems are only the beginning, and we plan to continue expanding seasonal competition and clan features in future updates.

Also, congratulations to player Rivian for being the Winner of this Season and becoming the new Rikudou Sennin. Also congratulations to the players Peccato123, Plates, Scud, Hashirama, and nejihyuuga.

Below, you'll see the list of the Top 10 Ladderrank at the moment the Season ended:

• 1# Rivian
• 2# Peccato123
• 3# Plates
• 4# Scud
• 5# Hashirama
• 6# nejihyuuga
• 7# vasgg
• 8# Narudrake
• 9# ixicek
• 10# Lois

Now, let's get into the update:

Edo Tensei Kuriarare (S) was a member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist and a member of the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu. During his life he committed countless atrocities and he is happy to be back from death to engage his newfound opponents.

Reanimated by Kabuto during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Roshi has had the Four-Tails, Son Goku, sealed back inside him. Having been made into one of Tobi's new Six Paths of Pain along with the other fallen jinchuuriki, Roshi is under his full control, spewing the Four-Tails' lava at anyone who might get in his way.

A fanatical explosive artist who believes true art exists only in a single, beautiful moment of destruction. Deidara specializes in long-term setup and devastating payoffs, planting microscopic bombs that turn the battlefield into a ticking masterpiece.
