Awakened Maria buff
We already updated her profile, so if you want to see her skills in a more fancy way, check it out instead of reading it below.
Gargantua - Passive
Her base passive hasn't changed and only level 5 was adjusted.
Before:
Maria permanently gains 20% CRIT DMG when an ally uses the portal (up to 100%). When Maria's HP falls below 20%, she teleports back to her ship.
After:
CRIT DMG +100%. When Maria's HP falls below 70% and 40%, she teleports back to her ship.
Dimensional Warfare - Special
Before:
Distorts the space in front of her, dealing damage to the closest enemy and around him. The attack stuns one Defender or Striker within range for 3 seconds. Deals bonus damage equal to 20% of the target's max HP (bosses excluded) to the stunned target.
Level 5: Damaged targets have one non-permanent buff dispelled and the stun duration is increased to 6 seconds.
After:
Distorts the space in front of her, dealing damage to the closest enemy and around him. The attack stuns damaged enemies and reduces their healing received by 100% for 4 seconds (bosses excluded). Deals bonus damage equal to 20% of the target's max HP (bosses excluded) to the stunned target.
Level 5: Damaged targets have one non-permanent buff dispelled and the stun and health recovery reduction duration are increased to 8 seconds.
Gauntlet changes
characters receive a penalty per ban level now, similar to ships. The penalty is equal to:
-10% Skill Haste, -10% ASPD, -10% Damage Dealt, and +10% Damage Taken on ban level 1,
the penalty increases by 5% with each ban level; so on ban level 2 it's -15% to ASPD, Skill Haste, and Damage Dealt to all and +15% Damage Taken,
banned characters also can't use their Leader skills anymore,
the number of upped characters per week has been increased to 4,
changed the matching mechanism to make it fairer.
Those changes are for now applied to the KR server and we don't know when SEA or Global will get them.
MDL
The recent Damage Formula changes affected the Max Damage Limit also. Before the changes, the damage exceeding the MDL was lowered by 80%, but in reality, the number is closer to 96% now. So instead of reverting that change, the developers simply adjusted the description of MDL in the game.
