Noli Buffs 🟢
Stab (Basic Attack) Buffs
| Stat | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windup | 0.4 seconds | 0.3 seconds | -0.1s faster |
| Hitbox Position | Original | +1 stud forward | Better reach |
💡 Impact: Faster attack speed makes Noli more threatening in close combat.
Void Rush Buffs
| Change | Details |
|---|---|
| Chain Damage Bonus | Now deals extra +3.5 damage for every survivor chained off of |
| Stacking | No stated limit to this bonus |
Example:
- •Chain 1 survivor → +3.5 bonus damage
- •Chain 2 survivors → +7.0 bonus damage
- •Chain 3 survivors → +10.5 bonus damage
💡 Impact: Rewards aggressive play and chaining multiple survivors. Significantly increases team-wipe potential.
Nova Buffs
| Stat | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Explosion Hitbox | Unknown shape | Sphere | More consistent |
| Radius | 23 studs | 26 studs | +3 studs larger |
| Barrier Collision | Hit invisible barriers | No longer hits | More reliable |
| Slowness Effect | Fixed | Scales with distance | Dynamic effect |
💡 Impact: Nova is now significantly more reliable and harder to dodge, with a larger blast radius and consistent spherical hitbox.
Fake Generator Changes
| Aspect | Change |
|---|---|
| Face Visibility | Now more visible |
| Face Size | Now smaller |
| Face Position | Now randomized |
💡 Impact: Fake generators are slightly easier to identify, but the randomized position adds unpredictability. Overall a minor balance adjustment.
