1.50 Update

We’d like to share the details of the 1.50 Update (25.09.25).

Developer Comment

The 1.50 update makes adjustments to hero playstyles based on position, as well as their risk and crisis management abilities.

1. Playstyle Adjustments by Position

   • Tank heroes are tuned to maintain their crowd control capabilities while sustaining prolonged engagements.

   • Melee damage dealers have been enhanced to strengthen their infiltration abilities.

   • Ranged damage dealers are adjusted to exert more pressure on enemies and push the frontline.

2. Risk and Crisis Management Adjustments

   • Heroes whose weaknesses were overly exposed have been supplemented with better crisis management tools in certain situations.

   • Heroes that could respond too easily to crisis situations have had some of their abilities adjusted.

3. Future Plans

   • In preparation for StormStriker’s upcoming major event, we will be conducting a focused, short-term analysis of your feedback after the 1.50 update and quickly reflecting it in a minor balance update to follow soon after.

4. Our Thanks

   • We are able to prepare this major event thanks to you—our StormStriker players—who continue to believe in and support the development team, promptly report bugs, share invaluable suggestions, and warmly welcome new players.

     Even if there are areas where we still fall short, the StormStriker development team, inspired by your support, will dedicate ourselves with sincerity to bring you great joy.

     We are always deeply grateful.

     With gratitude, The StormStriker Development Team

Character Balance

Maximus

• Key Slot Changes

  • RMB — Indomitable Shield, Charge of Resolve

  • E — Verdict!

  • R — Chain of Justice, Roar of Conviction, Expel Injustice

  • Shift — Ironblood Retribution

• Ironblood Retribution damage: 90 → 100

• Verdict! damage: 330 → 320

• Ultimatum of the Hero Assembly (center hit) damage: 220 → 110

Developer’s Notes

To reduce situations where Maximus could secure eliminations with Verdict! alone, we’re slightly lowering its standalone damage while keeping the total damage of the Ironblood Retribution → Verdict! combo intact.Additionally, for the ultimate that combined high damage and strong crowd control, we’re shifting its focus more squarely toward crowd control.

Shifu

• Key Slot Changes

  • RMB — Indestructible, Thunder Dragon Slash

  • E — Thunder Stamp, Dragon Kick, Dragon Stamp

  • R — Dragon Kick, Thunder Stamp, Dragon Stamp

  • Shift — Cloud Step

• Critical hit sound effect on Thunder Dragon Slash moved → now triggers on Dragon Kick wall collision hit

• AdjustedDragon Stampstartup delay reduced

• Dragon Kick (kick damage): 150 → 100

• Dragon Kick (collision damage): 150 → 100

• Dragon Kick (attack detection speed): 0.2 → 0.25

• Extreme Dragon Fist (roundhouse stun duration): 1.6s → 1s

Developer’s Notes

Shifu previously possessed too much safety, sustain, mobility, and damage all at once.We are keeping parts of his crowd control potential when used in a tanky role, but when played as a damage dealer, he should now be more exposed to danger.
