Balance update Punk and Prowler

Prowler is staying the same but Punk is getting a damage bump! So happy, Sable buff is guaranteed now

I think this is exactly what he needs cause he wasn’t hitting the 4.5 damage target

I pulled a 7* Sable on my last Titan and went to bed in the fetal position while sucking on my thumb ...

Im going to laugh if they leave Sable as is.
Yeah sure, she *totally* has 4/5 damage 🙃

Nemesis_17

They made the right move this time around, unlike last month *has conveniently timed coughing attack where serpent is mentioned*

Finally some actual rebalancing, especially after the Serpent fiasco.

One thing I would have changed with Prowler is that his heavy inflicts plasma against mutants, since a lot of mutants are either immune or punish incinerate, but otherwise he's great.

I honestly don't think he needed much so this is more than enough. Honestly just them extending the rupture duration a bit would be huge.

I think he could occasionally hit that 4.5, especially in a longer fight like they mentioned. He genuinely can slap but he needs to be able to do that easier and more consistently

Same. I guess they don't want to make him too powerful against mutants

Guaranteed? Whoa slow down. We’re not out of the woods yet. We all thought Serpent would get adjusted.

I have a 7* and he’s insanely utility packed and very fun but his damage just falls apart in shorter fights. I think this is exactly what he needed yeah

If Punk is getting a damage tune up and Sable isn’t, I’d actually be shocked af. There’s no way she isn’t

Serpent was given the 5/5 defender stat from the start, so there was a chance he’d be left alone as broken as he is. Sable doesn’t hit any target in any capacity, so the Punk announcement definitely gives me a lot of hope lol

I'm going to just help set expectations right now. Champions in the game have targets set by the devs. In here, they said punk was hitting the targets they set for long fights and fell short on targets set for shorter to medium fights. Because he fell short, they decided to make a change.

They also seemed happy with where Serpent landed with the targets they set so they deemed no change necessary.

We do not know what targets they have set for Sable. For all we know, they could be happy with how Sable is performing based on the targets they set. Hopefully that isn't the case. However, even if she does get tuned up, I don't imagine most of the community would really care for her still since she probably will still keep a high-skill cap to utilize. I imagine the change would be focused a lot more cashing in on damage when utilized properly, than being a QOL change to her loops. Not to say that both couldn't happen, but it is something to be aware of.

Let’s goo! I was so happy when he was released but equally as disappointed when I saw his damage output.

I’ll stay a little cautious but I don’t believe sable is anywhere near the 4/5 damage stat assigned to her by the team. I also assume her usage is in the lowest end of the game while Punk had a lot of fans that regularly used him

And thank you for tagging me whenever Psycho man is brought up. In the Fantastic four animated series Psycho man wanted to enslave the F4 into his "Fear police"
Well, you're officially a member of the Fear Police, the first and probably last member
Keep it up!

Speaking of SPunk, I’m wondering how they’re planning to buff his damage. Perhaps give him some Fury passives? Increase rupture potency/duration? Faster ramp up?

Well someone's gotta remind em. I think they forgot what a tune-up really is.

Y'all discussing bout sable but is there any hope for nega. She is perfect with a little damage tune up

I don't think nega is getting any tune up ( although I would like her to )

as KT1 said she's a comfort champ that you can bring anywhere and be sure that she'll do what you brought her for without needing to do anything fancy

for SABLE though, I just want this to be in her balance update

As an attacker NOBODY SANE uses her in any meaningful content in any meaningful capacity. She's not getting used outside the testing people do when they first get her in ROL against Winter soldier and in LOL against Red Hulk.

also if they didn't tune up ironheart I don't think nega is getting any

I do like ironheart and wished she got that refresh or pause added but she's not that bad as some people make her out to be

Rank 2 VS Rank 2

don't know why I'm taking crit fail on light attacks but if you do MM combos and don't dex too much you can do this

She gets armors on light attacks that’s why you’re crit failing

Whenever any Ability fails to trigger by chance ,she inflict crit failure. Ironheart lights have 30% chance to grant armor (70% chance to fail), so domino will crit fail her it's not about aar immunity.

He is objectively better than he was, he just needed a way to cycle out of his block stance more efficiently which I still think they should include
