The ult represents Caustic’s highest moment of power his enemies have no way of countering it. Even with Ring 6 now slowly closing over 100 seconds, we were worried about the effect that a single Caustic ult could have in the late game. Damage is uncapped at the top here, but really that’s very theoretical.Īt the same time, we wanted to be mindful specifically of Caustic’s impact in late game circles at the highest level. Instead of going up by one every tick, we’re increasing it by one every other tick. This time we decided to let the damage scale a little more slowly. When you can sit in gas and take a syringe or two and be fine, gas is not a scary enough deterrent. We’re now convinced the nerf that dropped his gas damage to a flat 5 damage went too far.
Bumped Horizon gravity lift-up speed to a happy medium between 9.1 and Legacy update launch values.Reduced the slow after the initial Black Hole pull.We explored a few ways to deal with this but ended up going for the most straight-forward answer: you get enemy outlines as long as they stay inside the ring of fire. Secondly, his ultimate often didn’t give his team an advantage sure, you may catch enemies within it, but the flames made it impossible for you to step inside, and you couldn’t see the enemies you trapped either because the flames were in the way. While we doubled the duration, the damage per second remains the same. We doubled the duration so you can now place one at a door and be reasonably sure no one’s coming through that door for a little while. While meant as a persistent area denial tool, it currently does not last long enough to seriously inconvenience an enemy. The first opportunity we identified was his tactical.
We identified two opportunities to help him that weren’t just “give him more damage.” We believe Apex is a gun game first and foremost and therefore want to make sure we don’t put too much damage into character abilities. Grenadier Passive can be toggled on and off to throw ordnance normallyįuse continues to struggle.Knuckle Cluster Tactical explosion duration increased by 100%.
We’ve heard his voice a lot in movies, TV series, and mostly in the gaming world. The African character, Seer, is voiced by Ike Amadi, who is also African. Let’s talk about character a little more before his abilities. But let’s face it, both Jhin and Seer look very cool. I also think that he kind of looks and acts like Jhin from League of Legends. His soft and, at the same time, sharp movements give the character an artist’s aura. Seer, which is in the Recon category, drew attention even after his announcement.
