ABILITIES

All Subclasses

• The melee-suppression time for victims hit by certain displacing melee abilities has been reduced from 1 second to 0.5 seconds.
  • This affects the following melee abilities:
    • Melee
    • Pocket Singularity
    • Shield Bash
    • Seismic Strike
    • Hammer Strike
    • Shiver Strike
• Melees activated by sprinting and sliding can no longer be activated after the player fires their weapon during a slide, which effectively prevents combos such as slide + Shotgun + shoulder charge from one-shotting.
  • This affects the following melee abilities:
    • Seismic Strike
    • Shield Bash
    • Hammer Strike
    • Howl of the Storm
    • Consecration
    • Flechette Storm
    • Lightning Surge
    • Thunderclap
• Blink
  • Fixed an issue where rapid Blinks led to failed slide attempts.
• All non-Super abilities
  • Neutral game abilities now receive variable amounts of ability energy from perks that grant an instant percentage of shard energy, depending on the ability's passive cooldown.
    • Abilities with the shortest cooldowns will receive the same percentage of energy they did before, but as passive cooldown increases, the energy gained from perks scales per tier down to 50% for grenades and class abilities and 60% for melee abilities. This means the number of seconds of raw cooldown reduction from shard energy perks is more closely equivalent across all ability cooldown tiers.
    • For example, comparing Firebolt Grenade (with a base cooldown of 64 seconds) to Lightning Grenade (with a base cooldown of 152 seconds):
      • In the previous system, a 10% base energy shard reduced Firebolt Grenade's cooldown by 6.4 seconds and Lightning Grenade's cooldown by 15.2 seconds.
      • With the new system, a 10% base energy shard reduces Firebolt Grenade's cooldown by 6.4 seconds and Lightning Grenade's cooldown by 7.6 seconds.
    • Note: Perks designed to grant a full energy refund (e.g. Knock 'Em Down) or that target a single, specific ability (e.g. Shinobu's Vow) are not affected by this and provide the same energy they did in the previous system.
