Omega Strikers - March 6th Micropatch | Update Notes

Alright Strikers, you know what time it is!! It’s PATCH TIME!

Before we get started I’d like to shout out the Finii Plush that is now on sale! Get it before it’s too late!

Steam post image

Okay. Anyway!

Couple interesting balance changes today in this patch - new base speed tiers for strikers as forwards/midfield/goalies and stuff like that. I’m also working on a couple small tiny baby reworks to some awakenings if it’s possible for the future. I don’t even know if it actually is possible but hey you never know!

Also, shouts out to the 4 players who were randomly selected to help put this patch together!! They are Goomy, FudgyWaffles, SwiftDeity, and Hekuria/MrWolf. Shouts out to them.

Alright let’s get started!

STRIKERS

Atlas

While you were out eating shrimp with the wimps, Atlas was feasting with the beasts in the goal arc. Small change to his primary and base speed should satiate his appetite.

• Base Stats

  • Speed : 440 → 435

• Astral Projection [PRIMARY]

  • Cooldown :: 8.5s → 9s

Drek’ar

Lower on the pick rate of tiers and only pretty good with a small subset of people, Drek could use a little lizard love.

• Xeno Cloak [SECONDARY]

  • Cooldown :: 12s → 11s

Estelle

Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 445→ 450

Finii

Finii is just kinda weak in pretty much every tier. Plus she’s getting a plush so I have to give her a faux mascot buff, right?

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 465 → 460

• Triple Take [SECONDARY]

  • Damage Taken By Enemies buff :: 20 → 25%

Juliette

Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 460 → 450

Juno

Jumping around all over the place and smashing red cores instantly in OT made Juno a little annoying to play against. This should tune her down a touch.

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 460 → 455

  • Stagger Growth :: 450 → 375

Kai

Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 465 → 460

Kazan

There’s a small slice of players that are really good with Kazan, but outside of that, he’s like really bad elsewhere. This change should affect those good players less than the rest.

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 440 → 445

  • Power :: 90 → 95

Luna

Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 460 → 455

Mako

Mako is a really good goalie in a lot of tiers, a weak forward everywhere. Tuning down her damage a touch to stop those across map million damage shots. She’s on my radar for a small rework if possible, but we’ll see how that goes.

• Perfect Pitch [PRIMARY]

  • Projectile Damage / Knockback :: 105 + 52.5% ⇾ 103 + 51.5% power

Octavia

Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 475 → 465

Rasmus

He was in a mostly good place but could just use a little bit of love.

• Whiplash [SECONDARY]

  • Duration :: 2.25s → 2.5s

Rune

Speed tier adjustment

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 465→ 450

Vyce

Small tweak to Vyce. Her “damage” tool is doing less than her “movement” tool.

• Power Chord [PRIMARY]

  • Damage / Knockback :: 175 + 87.5% → 180 + 90%

• Thunderstruck [SECONDARY]

  • Cooldown :: 12s → 13s

X

Tiniest adjustment of all time to keep X from going too insane with new speeds.

• Base Stats

  • Power :: 125 → 120

Zentaro

The standard is the standard.

• Base Stats

  • Speed :: 460 → 450

• Oni’s Blade [SPECIAL]

  • Cooldown :: 40s → 35s

MAPS AND MODES

I’m considering making map rotation a weekly thing, i.e. changing 1 map each week. Lmk if you like this idea.

Rotated In: Oni Village, Clarion Corp Rotated Out: Taiko Temple, Night Market

AWAKENINGS

Rotated out:

• Hotshot

• Peak Performance

• Fight or Flight

• Demolitionist

• Explosive Entrance

• Catalyst

Rotated In:

• Chronoboost

• Reverberation

• Orb Replicator [BUFFED]

• Prize Fighter

• Recovery Drone

• Stinger

Among Titans

Kind of in line with speed adjustments of the rest of the patch.

• Speed buff: 15% → 12%

Stacks on Stacks

Kind of in line with speed adjustments of the rest of the patch.

• Stacks on hit: 6 → 5

Magnetized Soles

Mag Soles has easily been far and away the best forward gear. Also it was still giving 25% movement speed despite the tooltip saying 22%! My bad hehe. Mag Soles is on my radar for an adjustment as well. I was thinking of giving it an ICD so you can’t just straddle the midfield line for the speed boost.

• Duration :: 2s → 1.25s

• Speed: 25% → 21%

Monumentalist

Monu is doing pretty well on people with creations if you can believe it. Even Juliette had a 66% win rate with it. (sample size of like 3)

• Size :: 100% → 85%

Momentum Boots

Underperforming a bit compared to the other goalie gear.

• Time to max stacks :: 10s → 8s

• Speed per stack :: 1% → 1.25%

Orb Replicator

No other orb buff awakenings are in so let’s share the energy and health! Yay!

• Orb benefits shared to allies :: 50% → 75%

Strike Shot

Strike Shot is overperforming a bit compared to the other goalie gear. It’s also on my radar for a small rework. Perhaps making the strike shot projectile unaffected by projectile range increases or having it start on CD. Idk we’ll see

• Cooldown :: 9s → 11.5s

Perfect Form

Making Perfect Form a little less perfect.

• Cooldown reduction from normal hits :: 13.5% → 12%

• Cooldown reduction from light hits :: 4.5% → 4%
