Other things that seem fixed but aren't mentioned in the patch notes
While they only mention that they fixed the issue with critical hits doing less damage than normal ones when fighting enemies below recommended power, it seems that crit also got better overall.
Whether they silently adjusted the damage formula, we don't know yet and we will retest the CRIT vs ATK again for all characters just to be sure.
What is next?
We are currently testing all the characters to see if the bugs are actually fixed, but it seems the majority of them now work as intended and we removed the bugged tags from characters fixed in this patch.
But here's what we confirmed is still bugged:
Noise - she is still self-healing like crazy and can't be killed unless she takes a suicide bot in her face,
Snow White - while you can't use her Burst repeatedly anymore, on some occasions her Burst will skip the charging phase and deal damage instantly,
Soline - she is still the best PVPer in the game, sadly her moral compass is screwed and she sometimes kills her allies too.
Tier list
We are freezing the tier list for the next 72h till we are able to retest everything - a lot had changed with the crit being fixed/changed alone. Also, ignore both the bugged and non-bugged ratings as the number of bug fixes will change everything.
For example, Vesti was both fixed and buffed and she actually deals decent damage now, so she isn't D tier character for sure. Similar thing with Julia - the ammo refresh bug being fixed means she has an easier time stacking her last shot passive (especially when you pair her with Privaty) and with crit being better her damage output is much better.
We will release the new tier list as soon as possible!
