Matches Played: 9872 (5.14%)

Kunai Grenade

This skill now deals 15 damage to one enemy and 10 damage to all others, instead of 15 damage to all enemies

Note: Tenten (S) was originally coded to deal 5 affliction damage to any enemy who falls to 50 health or below. But before released, I decided to change it to 35 to make her more balanced. In this update, I was planning to nerf this effect, but when I was about to code it I realized I totally forgot to change this effect to trigger to only enemies at 35 health or below, so until now, she was actually dealing additional affliction damage to enemies at 50 HP or below instead of 35 HP. So, it's just getting fixed now. lol

Four Symbols Seal

This skill now stuns all skills except helpful-mental skills (non helpful-mental skills), instead of physical and chakra.

As a support and crowd control character, let's say it's fair to improve Kushina's stun so she can perform her role better. Kushina isn't a character that appears very often in Ladder, so I hope she gets more opportunities.
