SUPERVIVE | El Hero Battle Royale de Theorycraft games

• AUDIO DISTANCES
  We raised the attenuation distance of several gameplay-important audio effects
  Glider (general and boosts like wind rings)
  Enemy Footsteps (particularly non-grass)
  Chest opening
  Grind Rails
  Nuke
  Walking on glass - when vases/urns are destroyed, they will leave behind glass shards that emit a unique footstep sound when walked on

  Void and Celeste have new VFX
  New environmental art and base kit
  New menu and UI changes

    Berry Season - a 'light' stormshift where berries spawn more often in brush and heal for much more - same as brewed vive
    Homebases - all basecamps have been removed from the map. Drop leaders now spawn with a deployable basecamp in their inventory, and basecamps cost $2,500 to pick up instead of $5,000

• HUNTER CHANGES
  TL;DR

• BUFFED: Ghost, Kingpin, Oath, Void, Zeph

• NERFED: Brall, Elluna, Shiv

• ADJUSTED: Joule, Myth

🦶 Self-Slows
This is a bugfix but worth calling out: we had a bug where self-slows weren't correctly building on many hunters, especially single-shot (non-full-auto) ones who move/shoot a lot. The following hunters are affected: Bishop, Elluna, Joule, Kingpin, Shiv, Void, Zeph
Hunters now properly build up self-slowing while firing

• Brall:

Tether pull movement has been reworked. Our high level Brall goals are to push his mobility power budget into the more skill-expressive Tether vs. his base Dash and RMB-hold Dash Attack. Hopefully, this lets Brall still move fluidly and skillfully around fights, but if he mispositions, he should be punished for it.
Heavy Attack [RMB]
Spin and Charge dash no longer have incorporeal
Charge Dash is reduced in speed and distance
Execution Slam's straight-to-deathbox only happens when Brall is empowered
Quick Dash [LSHIFT]
Now has to be level 3 to have 3 charges
Tether Chain [Q]
Tether now cares about your WASD-input and Cursor facing while pulling.
Allows you to “swing” around the target while being pulled by applying input perpendicular to the tether direction
Re-activating the Tether ability, Gliding, using Spin Slash, or simply swinging around past the target will cause you to preserve your momentum, letting you fly much further past the target than before
Attacking with your abilities will cause you to cancel the tether and slow down, allowing for easier aiming of these attacks while flying towards the target

• Ghost:

Ion Cannon [Q]
Yaw speed increased by 10%
Combat Slide [LSHIFT]
Minimum cooldown lowered by _50% (so you can spot dodge more)

• Joule:

This is a fairly large changelist aimed at making Joule less frustrating to play into, while leaning more into the dream of stacking a bunch of targets and then zipping through them.
Gathering Storm [PASSIVE]
Critical bug fixed wherein stacks would fall off one at a time and not have their durations correctly reset
Orb pickup collision height increased significantly
Lightning Bolt [LMB]
No longer spawns lightning orbs (was 15% chance on hit prior)
Lightning Spear [RMB]
Now has a 0.15 second winddown
Max charge time increased from 0.75 seconds >>> 1 second
Damage reduced from 143/176/206 (+70%/86%/115% of AP) >>> 100/120/140 (+56%/67%/78% of AP)
Damage now scales from 25% to 100% based on charge time when released
Cooldown reduction now scales its cooldown down, as intended
Surge [LSHIFT]
Joule is no longer immune to damage while dashing, but is immune to crowd control effects
The height of the lollipop collision at the end was too short, resulting in elevation differences mattering a lot. This has been fixed to match the behavior of the rest of the dash
Mid-dash hitbox increased in size from 40 radius >>> 50 radius
Fixed a critical bug where killing a target with Surge would not proc Joule's passive (and thereby not reset her dash)
Eye of the Storm [R]
NEW: Now spreads Gathering Storm's stack count of the highest impacted enemy to all other enemies within a large radius
Note: it applies +1 stack to the targets you land on first, then spreads the new highest count
No longer spawns Surge reset orbs on impact
Knockback range upon landing reduced

• Kingpin:

Abyss hooking is back on the menu, but not that guaranteed stuff you yim yams were pulling off before. We've also got some buffs to Kingpin's dash - we like that he's one of our more 'cooldown-windowed' hunters as he waits for RMB/Q/R, but felt he could dance a little more with LSHIFT + LMB to reset fights.
Kaiju Grasp [RMB]
Hook no longer floats you over the abyss when you have grabbed a target
Hook no longer refuses to ground enemies when you release them over abyss
NEW: If you fall into the abyss and die while hooking a target, that hooked target will receive a large downward impulse similar to other dunks/slams (but no stun and not a spike)
Iron Smash [Q]
Applies a 'gentler' downward impulse on Kingpin when he smashes over the abyss
BUGFIX: in the world of "Kingpin hooks Kingpin" interaction, it should guarantee that if they both buffer headbutt, the hook instigator will headbutt first.
Brute Dash / Big Brute Dash [LSHIFT]
Dash cooldown reduced from 8/6/5 >>> 7/5.5/4.5 seconds
Dash cost reduced from 15 >>> 10 mana
Big Brute Dash cooldown reduced from 16/12/10 >>> 14/11/10 seconds
Big Brute Dash cost increased from 15 >>> 20 mana

• Myth:

Doing a bit of a rework of Myth's LMB to be more accessible and intuitive for a bow character (charge up bow, fire arrow), along with some bugfixes and balancing for her R. Also w0w the anti-heal on Q applying a lingering slow was strong. This should nerf Huntress’ Q spam but we’re keeping the changelist low to see how the LMB changes primarily affect her strength.
Charged Shot [LMB]
Now increases shot distance, speed, and damage while holding LMB
It increases damage rapidly for the first half of the charge, then more slowly for the second half.
There are audio and visual callouts for these moments, a “Green” half-charge moment which is optimal close range DPS and a “Blue” full charge moment which is optimal long range DPS
Firing at either of these perfect moments reduces self slow
Firing at the perfect blue moment applies bonus damage to destructibles
Primal Forces [R]
No longer has execution damage - this is a significant nerf to damage against low health targets, especially to the third shot
Base damage/ratio buffed to compensate
TL;DR - R will do more damage than before when enemy is at max health, but generally less damage past _70% HP
BUGFIX: Leveling up R beyond Level 1 did not increase its damage at all. This is now fixed.
Rain of Arrows [Q]
Anti-heal duration reduced from 4 >>> 3 seconds
The anti-heal debuff no longer also has a slow (now you will only be slowed from taking damage standing in the arrows)
Compensatory buff: Slow on damage duration 0.3 >>> 0.6 seconds -- now slows consistently if you're standing in the arrows

• Oath:
  Increased toughness from 5 >>> 7 (toughness is how much a hunter scales with health-based equipment)
  Full tank build Oath with purples will go from 2710 >>> 3117 health
  Not to mention his shield and heal scale with HP, so it’s a nice buff. Good luck!

• Shiv:
  Arcslinger [LMB]
  BUGFIX: Fixed a bug where LSHIFT-empowered shots were double applying malice
  Trickshot [RMB]
  No longer bounces off walls
  Cartwheel [LSHIFT]
  Cooldown increased from 6/5/5 >>> 7/6/6 seconds
  Death Blossom [R]
  Level 2 damage per shot has been reduced from 40 (+21% of AP) >>> 38 (+20% of AP)
  Max execution damage per shot reduced from 95 >>> 90

• Void:
  The Void buffs will continue until he is top tier
  Swap [LSHIFT]
  Projectile speed sped up from 2.0 >>> 1.6 seconds
  Unstable Anomaly [Q]
  NEW: Hitting a target with Q activation will immediately slow them considerably (even pulling them out of dashes), as well as grounding them for 0.5 seconds

• Zeph:
  Zeph is meant to be an accessible backline healer, but has struggled in the early game before turning into a lategame hyper-scaler. We're looking to redistribute some of those strengths while also giving him more survivability and dueling capabilities.
  Base movement increased from 430 >>> 465
  Gust [LMB]
  NEW: Not new but getting it back: hitting targets with LMB grants Zeph 20 mana on hit
  Several other small changes. Should no longer drop inputs and overall feel more responsive.
  Vacuum Grenade [Q]
  Cooldown reduced from 16/12/8 >>> 13/11/9
  Damage up a bit lvl 1, down a bit lvl 3
  Slow Duration increased from 0.7 >>> 0.9 (note: Zeph only applies slows when he hits 1 target with Vacuum Grenade, so we're making the slow a little more meaningful)
  Stun Duration increased from 0.7/0.7/0.7 >>> 0.7/0.95/1.2 seconds
  Cyclone Dash [LSHIFT]
  Tapping dash will put this ability on a 50% >>> 60% cooldown
  Second Wind [R]
  Self heal effectiveness nerfed from 100% >>> 50%.

• POWERS
  NEW POWERS
  Purify: - Active effect: Instantly remove all Slows/Stuns/Roots/Grounded/Antiheal on you / 45 second cooldown
  Touch of Life - Heals yourself and the ally you touch for 15% of the target's max HP / 10 second cooldown per target
  Touch of Mana - Grants yourself and the ally you touch 40% of the target's max mana / 10 second cooldown per target
  Touch of Speed - Grants yourself and the ally you touch 100 movespeed, decaying over 5 seconds / 20 seconds cooldown per target
  Crisis Dash - Resets your movement ability when you go below 50% HP. Will not go on cooldown until you take damage while your dash is on cooldown
  *Tree Suit** - It's like a Ghillie suit, but a tree. You still have collision. Your tree has 1HP and allows bullets to pass through it, so it's not a REAL tree. Your allies can punch you as a tree and it will launch you.

• POWER BALANCE
  Creep Cloner cooldown increased from 20 >>> 30 seconds
  Anti-mobility field duration reduced from 25 >>> 20 seconds
  Chonker Cannon charges reduced from 3 >>> 2
  Cooldown reduced from 60 >>> 45 seconds
  First boulder delay lowered from 5 >>> 1.5 seconds
  Two-Way Teleporter cooldown increased from 80 >>> 100 seconds
  Stasis warmup increased from 0.1 >>> 0.2 seconds
  Heal removed
  Can no longer be re-activated to leave early
  No longer has bonus mass
  Sand Wall now has a 0.4 second warmup with a 20% slow attached to it

• REMOVED POWERS
  While we do want to add new powers to SUPERVIVE over time, we also don’t want the total number of available powers to balloon to infinity. Bottom performing powers get FIRED.
  Adrenaline Rush
  Burning Core
  Mana Tap Grenade
  Thorn Armor
  Tree Drone
  Living Armor

• NEW EXOTIC EQUIPMENT
  We're exploring more of the exotic equipment space with items that aren't just "big power" but instead give your team a plan or specific identity. Lots more to experiment with in this space, so let us know which sparked joy.
  Skeleton Keyblade [T5 Tech Blade] - Interacting with a vault instantly opens it (grants the bonus loot chest as well)
  Emergency Boots [T5 Boots] - Touching a hazard will instantly spawn a short duration emergency platform at your feet
  Multitool [160 AP + every secondary stat] - Picking up basecamps is fast and FREE. Repairing ruined beacons is fast and FREE.
  UAV Helm [T5 Bladed Helm] - Your team's UAVs show precise locations of enemies (i.e. Kaiju Eye, Bubba's Brain) - Note that this will work on global UAVs
  Golden Gauntlets [T5 Mana Blade] - Each shop grants you access to a high-tier item for 777 gold

• ARENA
  Trying to add some depth to arena strategy without overcomplicating things. We accept that this will make stomps a little… stompier, but want to hear if the tradeoff is worth it. Some of these changes are coming in hot, so pardon if things get spicy.
  Evil Chests now spawn every other round near the bonfires
  Evil Chests spawn powers from an Arena-only table
  You may only carry one Power in this game mode
  Evil Powers stick with you round over round, but are dropped on death
  Getting knocked in Sudden Death (overtime) means you go straight to deathbox

Capturing the bonfire grants your team Green Armor + 1000HP repair. So does recapturing.
Armor is reset between rounds (you will not keep the Green Armor)
Arena beacons no longer respawn you with armor
Teams may still earn gold and repair their armor during a round

Arena Hunter’s Journey experience increased _50% for rounds won, 35% for rounds lost
