addedHi All! We updated our Home Town art to be better in line with Chibisu's new look and to be even more cute we added a PUPPY YOU CAN PET! Petting your new best friend resets your all of your current costume's ability cooldowns to be ready to use again. Careful though abilities like the General's tank that have an active duration won't be reset if they're currently in use. The art better matches Chibisu's new look that was added a bit ago.
changedWe also took a look at the Scientist and Base Costumes. We found that player's who knew how to use the Scientist costume's kit really dominated their matches. To fix that we lowered the damage and increased cooldowns on some of his abilities that people used a lot like his explosion chemical concoction and his doomsday device. We also wanted people to use his fire chemical concoction more so we increased its sized and lowered its damage to compensate. Now it should be easier to hit people with it and it'll better block paths which creates more options for it without overshadowing the other chemicals. The direct damage was reduced for his chemical concoction so the direct hits are still rewarded but aren't huge increases of damage for skilled players. For the Base costume due to how powerful the dance is we decided that we'd decrease the cooldown and its duration to be used more but it requires better timing. We increased the damage for the Base costume's Sprint to better reflect its duality as a defensive and offensive ability. The Base costume's icecream throw ability's cooldown has also been decreased so the Base costume has at least some way to attack that doesn't waste their sprint escape. With those two other changes it should help balance out the dance nerf.
