Something to chew on while you play:
Supports
Aurora
Aurora is a little too easy to be successful with right now. Primarily, these nerfs are to overwhelmingly popular (and successful) mods.
GeneralShock Therapy

Helio
Helio’s combo was too swingy and has been adjusted. Scramble has been removed from Disruption Matrix and Weak added. Damage has been increased by 25%. Several mods have been adjusted to accommodate this change.
Echo HammerBlack Hole Generator
- Energy Conduit Mod - Has been removed

- No longer causes scramble, now causes weak.
- Damage increased from 20 to 25.
- Gravity Warp Mod - No longer causes weak, now causes slow next turn.
Quark
Quark’s self-recover has been improved slightly, along with his dash. His max health has been reduced to compensate. We still want Quark to be susceptible to burst, and will be keeping a close eye on the situation.

Orion
Orion has managed to carve a role for himself with his unique play style, but needs a boost in survivability to perform as well as the other supports.
GeneralQuantum Core
- Maxmium health increased from 160 to 170.
Cosmic Flare
- New 2 point mod: Bow Down - Slow enemies hit until end of turn
- Gain unstoppable until end of turn.

- Leech Infestation Mod - Mod cost increased from 2 to 3.
- Grand Finn-ale Mod - Mod cost decreased from 3 to 2.
Frontline
Asana
Asana was dealing too much damage for a frontliner, specifically due to mods which let her abilities hit extra targets. We’re tuning down the damage on these extra target mods across all characters.
Whirling BladeRebounding Charge
- Leech Blade Mod - Heal reduced from 5 to 4.
Stand and Fight
- Vault Mod - Damage on the second target is reduced from 25 to 12.
Retribution
- Skewer Mod - Damage on the second target is reduced from 24 to 12.

Garrison
Small tweaks to Garrison. We changed the template on his ult. We like unique templates, but the one on Garrison’s ult proved to be underwhelming.
Missile BarrageHeavy Metal
- Now deals indirect damage instead of direct damage.
Shockpod
- In Pursuit Mod - Reduced the duration of haste from 2 turns to 1.
- Now deals damage in a 4x4 area.
Rask
My body rebuilds!

- Energy gain from taking damage increased from 15% to 20%.

Titus
Titus is in a good spot, but his pierce dagger was overperforming just like the other pierce mods.
Berserker ChargeDirty Fighting
- Cleaver Mod - Mod cost decreased from 3 to 1.
- Puncture Mod - Damage on the second target is reduced from 25 to 12.
Rampart
I think Rampart is more concerned with the fall of Warbotics than this little nerf.
Fusion Lance
- Radamantium Tipped Blade Mod - Damage on the second target is reduced from 25 to 12.
Firepower
Grey
We are bringing some of Grey’s mods in line with other Freelancers. Her drone energy gain was also a bit high for it’s size and duration.
Tracer BoltHawk Drone
- Barbed Tip Mod - Reduced energy gain from 4 to 3.
- Hunt Them Down - Reduce damage from 4 to 3.
- Energy reduced from 5 to 4
Lockwood
Lockwood is looking for a bit more of a challenge.

Nix is outperforming a lot of firepowers. This small nerf is intended to limited his spikes in energy and mobility somewhat.

- Electromagnetic Aid Mod - Reduced duration from 2 turns to until end of turn.
- Disengage Mod - Reduced duration from 2 turns to until end of turn.

Zuki is all about damage potential, but Mighted Sticky Bombs pays out a little too well. We also wanted other mods on Rocket Jump to be considered.
Sticky BombRocket Jump
- Damage reduced from 30 to 26
- Restrictive Glue Mod renamed to Shell Shocked
- Something Extra mod - Mod cost increased from 2 to 3

- Divide and Conquer Mod - Damage reduced from 4 to 3.
Zap Trap
- Energy gain lowered from 8 to 7.

Elle
We wanted Elle to feel more rewarded for hitting multiple enemies, rather than punished when only hitting one.
Plasma Volley
- Energy generation increased from 6 to 8.
Blackburn
Blackburn’s survivability is more limited than he lets on. This change should give him more options.
Blitz
- Base range increased by 1
Celeste
Celeste’s energy gain and resultant ult damage was a little oppressive.
Strong ArmProximo Charge
- For the Rush Mod - Decreased energy gain from 2 to 1.
Smoke Bombs
- Contingency Plan Mod - Instead of 12 energy on cast now grants 6 energy on cast and 6 energy on hit.
Safecracker

- Assault and Battery mod - Mod cost increased from 2 to 3. No longer default.
- Second Story Job Mod - Decreased range from 2 to 1. Mod cost decreased from 3 to 2. Now the default mod.
