Temtem – Ver. 1.6.2

• Release date: March 25th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

Improvements

• We’ve added the character name and TamerID to the section in Settings where you could check your Support ID.
• We’ve correctly updated Bunbun and Hidody’s Umbra Radar prices and they now match that of similar Tems.

Balance

PvE

• We’ve increased the the bonus that the Isolated Status Conditions offers while capturing Temtem, from 1.0x ⇒ 1.3x.
• We’re aware that removing Cage from some Tems may affect some capture methods in the PvE environment. We hope that we can provide useful and valid alternatives for PvE players by making Isolated have the same catch rate bonus.
• We have removed Venx from Musa’s Rematch roster.

PvP

Temtem

• #012 – Tateru 
  • Resilient has been removed from its traits.
  • Burglar has been added to its traits.

• #021 – Bunbun 
  • Resilient has been removed from its traits.
  • Camaraderie has been added to its traits.

• #022 – Mudrid
  • STA has been increased 44 ⇒ 52
  • The nerf to Deluge affects Mudrid, as it is one of the key moves in its kit. We know that a simple STA buff may not be enough, so we have already prepared more changes for this Temtem in patch 1.7.

• #031 – Rhoulder
  • STA has been increased 51 ⇒ 58

• #052 – Owlhe
  • Furor has been removed from its traits.
  • Sentinel has been added to its traits.

• #084 – Mushi
  • Resilient has been removed from its traits.
  • Receptive has been added to its traits.

• #094 – Seismunch
  • SPDEF has been increased 43 ⇒ 54.
  • Seismunch has been MIA for several meta cycles, so we’ve decided to apply “the Saipat treatment” and considerably increase its bulk in the Special Defense department.

• #114 – Gazuma
  • Tornado has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Blizzard is now learned at level 67.
  • Cage has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Electromagnetism is now learned at level 85.
  • This group of adjustments is the type of change we have planned for patch 1.7, so it serves as a small leak for the next patch. We consider that Gazuma has been central for many consecutive meta cycles thanks to its typing and tools. That’s why we intend to keep its support role intact, but we lower its offensive pressure by removing Tornado from its kit. On the removal of Cage and addition of Electromagnetism: this tech might not very interesting right now, but we are preparing a small buff for it.

• #130 – Tuwai
  • Resilient has been removed from its traits.
  • Air specialist has been added to its traits.

• #139 – Vulor
  • Individualist has been removed from its traits.
    Resilient has been added to its traits.

• #152 – Minox
  • Body stretch has been removed from its traits.
  • Resilient has been added to its traits.

Techniques

• Harmful Microwaves
  • The type to activate its synergy has been changed from Electric ⇒ Fire.
  • Digi-cores have been quite the headache for us to balance around. We have especially struggled with the combo of Monkko and Zaobian, that had no safe switch-ins in the whole game, all while giving each other the chance to enact a hard-hitting high priority technique on turn 1. We believe this change, while simple, will give a new life to the whole archetype.
  • This also slightly helps break the combo with Gazuma, and leaves the core much more exposed as the archetype loses coverage. We can’t wait to see what new combos appear with this change, such as Hazrat-Water Chromeon, Capyre-Neutral Chromeon…

• Blue Screen
  • Priority has been reduced from Normal ⇒ Low.
  • You might be wondering why we decided to go with a low priority instead of normal priority. With this change we want to break away from frustrating situations while using this tech. We know there are still ways to make this tech high priority again (namely along Nagaise’s Deceit Aura), but we believe that combo to be very specific, and manageable through pick and ban countering and planning. We hope to solve the situation of getting both of your Tems perma-locked, or at least reduce it to only in very specific situations, with a very specific combo.

• Crystal Deluge
  • Hold has been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
  • STA has been reduced 29 ⇒ 25.

• Crystal Deluge (Synergy)
  • Hold has been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
  • STA has been reduced 29 ⇒ 25.
  • Crystal Deluge, paired with Blue screen, has been one of the reasons the sleep archetype has been so strong lately. We believe increasing the hold while maintaining the 2 turns of sleep will give the players more time to react and adapt than before. We will keep a close eye on the performance of this tech in case it’s necessary to return to the original hold, but with an adjustment to the Asleep turns it applies.

Traits

• Bird Season
  • Damage has been increased 66% ⇒ 100%.

• Burglar
  • Removed the “once per battle” condition.
  • Removed the “when inflicting x status conditions”.
  • Burglar can now disable two gears at once, if the technique triggering it affects multiple targets.
  • New effect: When hitting a target that is already affected by the asleep or exhausted status condition, its gear gets disabled until the end of the match.

• Team Elusive
  • It now prevents multi-targeting negative status techniques as well.
  • New description: Prevents any offensive multi-target technique.
  • We believe we may have been too hard on Vulffy by removing Sludge Gift & nerfing his main trait. With a slight rework to Burglar, we decided to bring back Team Elusive’s old behavior as we understood his trait wasn’t the reason Vulffy was so strong in the past.

• Resilient
  • SPD Stage modifications have been reduced from +3⇒ +2.
  • We think that Resilient has a too high value as long as it keeps its design. That’s why we have decided to change the distribution of this trait, and keep it only for Temtem that are in their second stage of evolution, thus avoiding PvE problems with the radars and balance problems in PvP.

• Adaptive
  • Now triggers before taking a hit.
  • Special attack buff reduced from +2 ⇒ +1.
  • New description: Once per battle, before being attacked, changes the Temtem’s secondary typing to the type of the incoming technique and gets SPATK +1.
  • Adaptive and Reactive Vial have a very strange interaction. The way the game engine handles them means it must work like this, or the (bugged) way it was working in the past. Having Adaptive trigger after receiving damage is what causes the bug with Reactive Vial, which forces us to choose which of the two behaviors we would prefer, as the game engine leaves us no room for a 3rd “perfect” option.

Gears

• Straw Shield
  • Damage reduction has been increased 50% ⇒ 75%
  • The gear is now revealed at the beginning of the turn.

• Tucma Mask
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: Tucma Mask prevents the Poisoned Status Condition.

Fixes

All platforms

• Fixed a black screen after choosing a Challenge Mode if we have an egg in the incubator device on our normal run.
• Fixed a black screen while reconnecting in a PvP match.
• Fixed a soft lock by being able to start the battle against a DigiLair boss without any valid Tem in the Squad.
• Fixed a desync in experience while playing in Co-op if we wait until the timer runs out on the interface for learning a new Tech.
• Fixed having a wild Temtem turn into an Umbra Temtem if a Temtem Luma in our Squad evolves while we have an Umbra Tem in the battlefield. Pesky.
• Fixed Luma Temtem not being able to appear in Umbra radars. Do keep in mind the rates are not boosted for Umbra Tems in Luma radars, so the odds are 1/75.000.
• Fixed some instances in Lairs where Unique bonus were wrongfully stacking.
• Fixed that the Techniques for Lair Bosses were not rotating weekly as they should.
• Fixed being unable to leave the Spectator mode if one of the players on the battlefield was choosing which Temtem to select next.
• Fixed the Club chat tab disappearing after reconnecting.
• Fixed the Broccolem and Golzy on the shrines having Techniques that didn’t match their levels, either by presence or absence.
• Fixed having the combat interface disappear if we had captured and released two Tems while the Coward’s Blanket was active.
• Fixed having the Tems on the battlefield briefly disappear after using Haito Uchi.
• Fixed having the Tems on the battlefield briefly disappear after using Piezoelectric Blow with a synergy.

• Fixed finding our Mimit with no attacks if we reconnect or start the game while in an encounter if our Mimit had already transformed into a different Tem.
• Fixed that a Mimit with Striking Transmog would keep an attack from a wild encounter into a PvP match after using DNA Extraction.
• Fixed seeing Mimit as transformed in our game if we had just seen a replay where it was transformed.
• Fixed that we could be unable to see the hold on Mimit’s techniques if its HP had been altered outside of combat with medicine items. When he’s cute but problematic.
• Fixed Straw Shield triggering after a Temtem with the Nullified Status Condition received a highly effective Tech.
• Fixed seeing the notification for Slingshot twice if the Tem carrying it performed Bright Beam.
• Fixed Goolder’s infectious triggering and acting on Tems that are not on the battlefield. He’s just that powerful.
• Fixed Arachnyte’s type changing through Adaptive before receiving the incoming Technique that triggers the trait.
• Fixed a desync regarding Mimit’s HP after it had copied a Tem with more TVs allocated on that Stat.
• Fixed seeing the wrong type on Arachnyte and Zaobian if they change types at turn 1 and we turn back to turn 0 during a replay.
• Fixed TMR Decay notifications not disappearing after using the Clear All button.
• Fixed Seals not being visible in Replays under certain conditions.
• Fixed losing the tints on the head cosmetics if we unequip it after starting a Challenge Mode run. Hair is everything.
• Fixed being able to purchase the OP Seal, which should only be obtainable by completing the OP Kudo. Lying is a big non-non.
• Fixed an incorrect flow of conversation with Masha and Dolores in Arbury.
• Fixed being able to hang decoration on some invisible walls in some Housing Layouts, and then being unable to remove that decoration.
• Fixed the visual effects for Seismunch’s Wreck, which were showing displaced rocks in combat against other NPCs or Players if the attack was carried out by their Temtem on the right.
• Fixed not seeing the Book in the Eldritch Summoning emote.
• Fixed having the rotate option for Titles on the Store.
• Fixed seeing the bonfire change place in the preview every time we hovered over the emote icon. Oh I know of a game where you have to follow bonfires around…
• Fixed the text “Current Game” being left untranslated in the Challenge Modes section.
• Fixed seeing an incorrect message if you tried to play on two linked platforms at the same time.
• Fixed some outdated information in the Dojo Wars’ in-game tutorial.
• Fixed a handful of cases where the word étalon had not been replaced by coursier in French.
• Fixed Raize’s description being the wrong one in the Tempedia in Japanese.
• Fixed an error in the Spanish dialogue of the Tired Pilgrim.

 

Switch

• Fixed a black screen when launching the game while in battle.

Temtem – Server Hotfix

• Release date: March 6th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

• Fixed some Umbra and Luma not properly unlocking in Showdown.
  • Please note! This fixes the issue moving forward, but players already suffering from the issue need to take one little step to fix it manually. Simply take away 1 TV from the Tem, then add it back, and the Umbra/Luma version will be unlocked in Showdown.
• Fixed not being able to unlink two accounts in cross-progression if the main account was a console account.
• Fixed dealing the wrong amount of damage on the turn when Attack-T triggers.
• Fixed the type not changing correctly on the turn when Adaptive triggers.
• Fixed that Goolder’s infectious trait would trigger and affect Tems that are not in battle.

• Additional notes: none

Temtem – Ver. 1.6.0

• Release date: January 29th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

Important Notice

• As of 1.6, we’re retiring events from Temtem.
  • Events were planned as a fun little addition for endgame players to continue having tasks to work on, and goals to work towards. However, as it’s happened with some features in the past, they weren’t to the liking of us team, nor you Tamers.
  • The feedback you’ve given us is invaluable and we’ve heard all of your suggestions. Still, we’re unable to carry out the suggestions provided nor fulfill your expectations at this time of development, nor in the foreseeable future. They’re not an easy feat to code, fix and patch promptly, and as they are now, they’re causing more headaches and dissatisfaction than happiness.
  • On a brighter note, we are giving all players the cosmetics for the Valentamers event that didn’t see the light last year. No work needed for these ones! We will post the redeem instructions on Valentine’s Day so be on the lookout!

• From now on, you won’t be able to reset your character if you have an ongoing Challenge Mode run.
  • This change is to prevent the many issues that the intersection between cross-progression and Challenge runs was causing.
  • When you try to reset your main character, you’ll get an error message if you have an active Challenge Mode run. You’ll need to try again after deleting your Challenge Mode run. There is no cooldown for this.
  • Likewise, when you try to link two platforms via cross-progression, you’ll get an error message if you have an active Challenge Mode run. You’ll need to delete your Challenge Mode run. There is no cooldown for this.

New Stuff

• The Replays system is now in-game!
  • Replays are saved automatically and players don’t need to turn on anything or worry about it.
  • All competitive PVP matches will have their replay stored, including those from friendly PVP, ranked matchmaking, in-game tournaments, and dojo wars.
  • A total of 10 replays are saved for each player. When this limit is reached, the oldest replays will be automatically deleted to give space to new ones. Players can also pin up to 3 additional replays, which will be kept safe and won’t be deleted automatically.
  • Players can also watch replays from other players freely, all from the new Replay section of the competitive screen.
  • While watching a replay, players can pause the game, go forward/backward a turn, or even go to a specific turn.
  • Please note there’s a known issue regarding replays on Switch: to avoid a bug, the turn selector is unavailable at this time, and one cannot skip forward nor backwards inside a given replay. We’re working on having these issues corrected for patch 1.6.1, apologies for the inconveniences!

• Improved emote wheel, now with pages!
  • Tired of not knowing where to place your 72+ emotes? You’ll now get an array of up to 10 pages that you can easily circle between to place your sprays, emotes and holos.
  • You can fill up to 12 emotes, holos or sprays per page, summing up to a whopping 120 emotes, holos or spray that you can easily access now. No more having to pick and choose!
  • You don’t have to do anything extra for these pages! Enjoy a wider array of expressions.

• Added a Found location to the Details UI.
  • You’ll now be able to see where a Temtem can be found: it’ll show the approximate location and the exact island where you found it.
  • The Found location section appears in the Details screen of any Temtem, under the Original Tamer name.
  • You don’t need to have caught that Temtem to see its found location! You also don’t need to be the OT. You can see the found location of all Tems, just like that.
  • This will help you locate any Temtem species you might want to catch, as well as determine the approximate level at which you found a Temtem by checking out the level of other Tems in that area. While it’s fantastic for new players, we hope existing players can make use of this new feature too!
  • There are a few exceptional cases: Starters will all appear as being from Zadar, Deniz; Tems that are hatched will have the location of the Breeding Center in Omninesia; Tems that are provided to you by an NPC will have the location of that NPC.
  • Please note: there’s a known issue with previously existing Tems before this patch that were obtained by breeding. While most of them will keep their found location as Breeding Center, those that can also appear as untamed on the first route, will say the name of the route as their location instead of the breeding center.

• TemCard swapping is now available!
  • This is a highly requested feature that will allow you to change the containing TemCard of any given Temtem.
  • You’ll need to own the TemCard you want to transfer that Tem to, with a cost of 250 Luma Drops.
  • Mythical Temtem, and even the Anahir line, can be moved to different TemCards too!
  • TemCard swapping takes place in the basement of Nanto Labs, in Neoedo.

• Temtem types are now shown on PvP battles!
  • During a PvP battle, the type of each Temtem will be displayed next to its avatar during the Pick&Ban phase, and in the Battle Log.
  • This will help with clarity, especially for those Tems that can have multiple types, and with the addition of Umbras.

• The TemCS World Champion, aarrggnn, will now have a permanent commemorative trophy statue on Tamer’s Paradise, which will display his name and title as the TemCS World Champion!
• We’ve added sound effects to some emotes that were missing in 1.5! Enjoy hearing your emotes in the new emote wheel.

Improvements

• We have improved the precision of the target selector during matches while using a mouse. This will prevent most cases where the selector moved to the Temtem on the side accidentally.
• We’ve improved the control system behind instrument playing. All instruments have been reviewed and their animations improved!
• We’ve improved the clarity of the Dojo Rematches’ UI so it’s easier to see which option is highlighted, and selected.

Balance

General

• We’ve improved the amount of Stamina recovered upon resting.
  • We’ve gone from 1 + CEIL(20% max STA) to 4 + CEIL(25% max STA).
  • Both the fixed and the variable numbers have been buffed, so you should see a considerable improvement in your STA recovery when resting.

• We’ve improved or modified the bonus that some Status Conditions offer while capturing Temtem.
  • Burnt 1.25x ⇒ 1.4x
  • Poisoned 1.25x ⇒ 1.4x
  • Exhausted 1.1x ⇒ 1.3x
  • Seized 1.1x ⇒ 1.3x
  • Cold 1.2x ⇒ 1.3x
  • Trapped 1.2x ⇒ 1.3x
  • Alerted 0.8x ⇒ 1x
  • Evading 0.5x ⇒ 0.8x
  • Asleep, Frozen, Vigorized and Doomed have not been changed.

Competitive

We’re sticking with the Highlighted Changes following your positive feedback on it! Remember that these changes will still appear under their respective categories lower down below.

HIGHLIGHTED CHANGES

• Phantom Whiplash
  • Type: Mental
  • Damage: 135
  • STA: 22
  • Hold: 2
  • Priority: High
  • Attack Category: Special
  • Target: One Target

The other star addition alongside Straw Shield. The mental type has long been in need of a more impactful priority technique than Energy Manipulation. We believe that 2 hold is the right fit for this technique as mental tems, despite being fragile, have access to or synergize with sleep control moves.

• Tireless
  • ATK Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
  • New effect: The damage this Temtem receives from OX is reduced by 50%.

Tireless has been too strong for too long, and it finally takes a hit from the nerf hammer. This trait has been a big part of the meta for a while now, but we wanted to avoid gutting it entirely. It has a new effect to compensate for the loss of direct power, and we hope it will be in a healthier spot going forward.

• Welcomer
  • Previous effect: Once per battle, when an ally enters the battlefield, the ally gets evading for 1 turn.
  • New effect: Once per battle, when the Temtem has spent 1 turn on the battlefield, the ally gets evading for 1 turn.

The popularity of this trait has dropped at the end of the patch but we still think it has a very strong impact, as it didn’t need any kind of set-up. It was a trait that can be frustrating to deal with. To avoid these snowball situations from the lead, we’re going to make the trait have a prep turn and make its focus and gameplay more skillful.

• #153 – Maoala
  • Zen Meditation is removed from its movepool.
  • Once per battle, after 2 consecutive turns in battle, rivals get asleep for 2 ⇒ 1 turns.

The combo of Hypnotist plus Zen Meditation in the same turn is excessive. We think that with this trait design we should break this combo and have the other temtem provide the set-up, rather than Maoala doing it all in one.

However, we feel that the effect of putting opponents to sleep for two turns is excessive, as it forces you to reposition if you don’t want to lose the entire tempo of the game, so we have also decided to nerf this aspect of the trait for the time being. We know it’s a very aggressive nerf, so we’ll keep a close eye on Maoala during the patch in case its trait needs another turn of the screw.

Temtem

• #004 – [Mental] Chromeon
  • [NEW] Phantom Whiplash has been added to its movepool.

• #008 – Platox
  • SPATK has been increased 76 ⇒ 81.
  • Resistant has been removed from its traits.
  • [NEW] Toxifier has been added to its traits.
  • Resilient has been removed from its traits.
  • Toxic Farewell has been added to its traits.

• #015 – Magmut
  • [NEW] Trample has been added to its movepool.
  • We are giving Magmut some love this patch. This Temtem has usually used a “clunky” set in competitive battles, with multiple slots used on buffing itself offensively and defensively and then (most of the time) two offensive techniques. We created Trample to smooth out its gameplan by combining offensive buffing and damage in one technique. We also wanted to make sure we didn’t give preference to physical or special sets, so we had it work, regardless of your build.

• #028 – Skunch
  • ATK reduced from 71 ⇒ 68

• #038 – Capyre
  • Resilient has been removed from its traits.
  • [NEW] Ignite Protection has been added to its traits.

• #040 – Azuroc
  • ATK has been increased 58 ⇒ 68.
  • DEF has been increased 69 ⇒ 75.
  • SPDEF has been increased 62 ⇒ 67.
  • Major Slash has been added to its movepool as a TC.
  • [NEW] Crystal Tail has been added to its movepool.

• #041 – Zenoreth
  • [NEW] Crystal Tail has been added to its movepool.

• #043 – Aohi
  • [NEW] Phantom Whiplash has been added to its movepool.

• #056 – Myx
  • [NEW] Phantom Whiplash has been added to its movepool.

• #057 – Raize
  • Fiery Heist has been added to its movepool.
  • Furor has been removed from its traits.
  • [NEW] Ignite Protection has been added to its traits.

• #085 – Mushook
  • ATK has been increased 80 ⇒ 84

• #108 – Goolder
  • Slime has been added to its movepool.
  • Strong Liver has been removed from its traits.
  • Infectious has been added to its traits.
  • Strong Liver Goolder has always been an example of a Temtem that’s working against itself. Healing off of toxic techniques instead of taking damage is a great effect in a vacuum, but not when the damage gets halved by your resistance to Toxic before being converted to HP. We saw this patch as an opportunity to give Goolder a trait that it can use more effectively, and chose the new Infectious as that replacement. Combined with poison ticks from Toxic Ink, we expect Infectious Goolder to be a very strong niche pick against Temtem that want to play passively and defensively.

• #115 – Oceara
  • Water blade is removed from its movepool.
  • Aqua bullet hell has been added to its movepool.

• #144 – Vulffy
  • DEF has been increased 55 ⇒ 58.

• #153 – Maoala
  • Zen Meditation is removed from its movepool.

• #156 – Vental
  • [NEW] Phantom Whiplash has been added to its movepool.

• #157 – Chimurian
  • Crystal Plume Gatling is now learned at level 90.

• #158 – Arachnyte
  • Overclock has been added to its movepool.

  • Damage: 120
  • STA cost: 14
  • Hold: 4
  • Priority: Low
  • If any enemy Tem is knocked out, it applies +3 ATK/ +3 SPATK to the caster.

• Trample+
  • Synergy with Melee.
  • The synergy to Trample changes the nature of its attack from Special ⇒ Physical.
  • Everything else stays the same.

• Bamboozle
  • Hold turns have been reduced 1 ⇒ 0.
  • New effect: After using this technique for the first time in battle, it will have hold 1  for the rest of the match.
  • This technique has historically been a nightmare for us, in balance. We didn’t like how it made battles play out at 0-hold, but nerfing to 1-hold seemed to be too much. With no middle ground between 1 and 0, we had a difficult time figuring out how to change Bamboozle. We were able to get this effect working, and hope it brings Bamboozle back without it being overwhelming.

• Rush
  • Hold turns have been reduced 1 ⇒ 0.

• Tesla Prison
  • STA cost raised from 14 ⇒ 19.

• Serbatiyo’s Wrath
  • SPATK stat stage change increased from SPATK +1 to SPATK +2.
  • STA Cost  from 30 ⇒ 35.

• Aqua Stone
  • Damage has been increased 80 ⇒ 105

• Aqua Stone+
  • Damage has been increased 104 ⇒ 135

Traits

• Resilient
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New Effect: Once per battle, when knocked-out due to technique damage, prevents getting knocked-out, gets Doom for 1 turn and SPD+3.

• Digi-protection
  • Added effect: Ally’s damage taken by Digital techniques is also reduced by 30%.
  • The whole description now reads as follows: When an ally is damaged by a Digital technique, damage is reduced by 30%. When the Temtem is damaged by a Digital technique, damage is reduced by 75%.

• Toxifier [New]
  • When attacking with a Physical Toxic technique, the Temtem uses its SPATK instead and increases its damage by 10%.

• Ignite Protection [New]
  • Once per battle, when the Temtem is attacked, the attacker receives 2 turns of Burn.

• Gotta Go Fast
  • From now on, Gotta Go Fast only works with techniques with more than 0 Hold.

• Tireless
  • ATK Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
  • New effect: The damage this Temtem receives from OX is reduced by 50%.
  • Tireless has been too strong for too long, and it finally takes a hit from the nerf hammer. This trait has been a big part of the meta for a while now, but we wanted to avoid gutting it entirely. It has a new effect to compensate for the loss of direct power, and we hope it will be in a healthier spot going forward.

• Infectious
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: All healing is negated while the Temtem is in the battlefield.
  • This trait has been weak for a long time, simply because it was far too niche to ever be worth considering. We’ve changed the effect into something less narrow, and we see it being an option to counter strategies that rely a lot on healing, but still niche enough to not see use as a generic trait, which is a place we’re okay with it occupying.

• Welcomer
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: Once per battle, when the Temtem has spent 1 turn on the battlefield, the ally gets evading for 1 turn.

• Bully
  • Damage multiplier has been increased 25% ⇒ 30%

• Mucous
  • Freeze has been added to the list of Status Conditions this trait has immunity to.

• Parrier
  • Damage reduction has been increased 20% ⇒ 25%. 

• Water Synthetize
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: When attacked with a water technique, instead of receiving damage restores HP by 125% of that damage.

• Protostar
  • Doom turns have been increased 5 ⇒ 6 turns.

• Supernova
  • Doom turns have been increased 5 ⇒ 6 turns.

• Hypnotist
  • Asleep turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 1 turn.

Gears

• Straw Shield
  • Now available outside of Tamer’s Paradise. Please note: These changes affect both the DraftArena and the Evershifting Tower versions of the Gear.
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: Prevents 50% of the damage from the first super-effective technique received.
  • Can be purchased from the Gear shop at Tucma.
  • Straw Shield is one of the new additions that we think will have the biggest impact on the format. We believe this gear can finally give some temtems with x4 weaknesses the space they need (yes, this gear only protects against x4 attacks). We will be keeping a close eye on the performance of this gear and how it performs for its potential users.
  • IMPORTANT NOTICE: As of 1.6, Straw Shield cannot be equipped on competitive squads due to a bug. This will be fixed in 1.6.1

• Matcha
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: Prevents the Cold Status Condition and, upon resting, removes the Frozen Status Condition and restores 40% of max STA.

• Slingshot
