The recent patch for Under Night In-Birth 2 [Sys:celes] has sparked significant controversy among players, particularly due to a surge in buffs that heightened an already high damage output. Responding to community concerns, director Kamone Serizawa engaged directly with fans to clarify the patch’s intentions.

The new version 1.35 seeks to remedy these issues, introducing vital changes. Each character’s health has been increased to prevent matches from ending too quickly. Additionally, damage scaling has been implemented for specific scenarios, like punishing whiffed throws and moves executed immediately after jumping, to better balance risk and reward.

Moreover, the update enhances defensive play by increasing GRD gain while blocking, aiming to elevate defensive tactics alongside offense. These adjustments reflect a commitment to refining gameplay and addressing player feedback. While the community awaits the full impact of these changes, the patch promises an exciting evolution for the competitive landscape.
