Monday, January 8, 2024 at 15:00 by phamHello everyone, new update, new characters, new balance. I'd like to touch on some topics about today's update.
New type of goal for missions:
We believe that the types of goals have become repetitive over time, and we wanted to bring diversity to missions. Previously, we introduced the goal type of playing with two characters on the same team, but it wasn't well received by the community (it doesn't mean it won't be used anymore, but it will appear less frequently). So we decided to introduce a new objective that involves using a character's skill a specific number of times, which will be themed according to the mission and eventually become more interactive. This goal type doesn't require you to win the match, only to use the specified skill.
Feel free to send suggestions for new types of goals for missions in the #suggestions channel on our Discord and, soon, in the suggestion forum on our Naruto Boards!
Changes on Uzumaki Naruto:
We decided to make a change to the 'Naruto Rasengan' skill with the intention of making the stun more solid but removing its damage potential. I decided to bring up this topic because this change is not necessarily a boost or a nerf since it can be better in certain scenarios and worse in others. Depending on community feedback, we may revert it to the version before these changes. I hope you see this as a way to test how Naruto will perform in the Ladder Game and also in the War scenario.
