Patch 3.15 - New Legend, New Skins, Balance Improvements.

Welcome to patch 3.15! We’re excited to introduce Isaiah, commander of the top-secret OEL forces, armed with Cannon and Blasters. But that’s not all, he also has a drone with a cloaking device and rockets at his disposal! Will the Legends of Valhalla be ready for his methodical tactics and surprise attacks? We also have a nice balance patch focusing on improving Cannon gameplay and feel, along with a few adjustments to Rocket Lance, Bow, and Axe.

Balance

This week brings a number of changes to the pacing of the Cannon kit and improvements to where it launches foes. We have also included some quality of life changes for the Rocket Lance, as well as adjustments aimed at bringing certain elements of the Axe and Bow gameplay into line. Explore these new changes and good luck climbing the ladder before the next Ranked Season begins!

Cannon

For the Cannon, we have adjusted the overall duration of several attacks, not only to give it a heavier feel, but also to provide a greater window with which to hit confirm followups and choose your next attack. Players will also find the Side Light and Down Light now allow for a greater choice of subsequent attacks, with particular focus on using the Down Air to keep the fight near the ground. The Neutral Air opens up as an option off the Down Light at later damage ranges, so experiment with using the Down Air and Side Air as string options at lower damage. A marked improvement to the Ground Pound is also worthy of note, providing greater coverage during the initial thrust of the Cannon.

• AdjustedCannon Neutral LightIncreased Fixed Recover Time on hit from 2 to 4; Increased Stun from 24 to 26.
• AdjustedCannon Side LightHas a new closer setup location up-diagonal from the user and is more consistent regardless of target height when struck; Increased Stun from a range of 26~21 to a range of 29~24; Increased Fixed Recover Time on hit from 1 to 3.
• AdjustedCannon Down LightHas a new setup location that begins much lower to the ground and increases to a more overhead location when the target is around red health; Decreased Stun from 31 to 30; Decreased built-in Recover Time by 1.

• Cannon Neutral Air: Now allows the user to carry a moderate amount of forward momentum instead of halting the users horizontal motion.

• AdjustedCannon Side AirIncreased coverage near the user during the first 2 frames of the Hit Window;
