Patch Notes Overview: Prodigies vs Talented Learners
This update focuses on rebalancing and refreshing the gameplay of Rin and Isagi with new mechanics and animations.
Rin Itoshi Rework
Rin’s kit now revolves around a Rage Meter that builds over time and through actions.
Destroyer Mode (C Key): Activates automatically when the Rage Meter hits 100% while you have the ball. Lasts 8 seconds, granting a 10% increase to speed and shot power.
Opposite Direction (C Key Secondary): Rin’s original dribbling skill, now accessible during Destroyer Mode.
Destructive Charge (V Key Off Ball): Charge speed is increased if the Rage Meter is above 50%.
Curve Shot (B Key): This skill makes a return with new visual effects. It becomes more powerful if used when the Rage Meter is at 75% or higher.
Awakening Rin: Features a new cutscene and includes a secret variant with two unique Awakening skills.
NEL Isagi Rework
Isagi’s new playstyle is based on an Adaptation Meter, which fills strategically when he is off the ball.
Adaptation Meter: Fills after 30 seconds of being off the ball. Getting tackled or ankle-broken adds 3 seconds to the meter.
Omnivision (V Key Mode): Activates when the Adaptation Meter is full. For 8 seconds, Isagi gains increased speed and the Metavision passive ability.
Blindspot (V Key Secondary): After Omnivision ends, this skill becomes available. It allows Isagi to run into an opponent’s blindside, stunning them and potentially stealing the ball.
Lefty Shot (C Key On Ball): A new left-footed shot with adjustable height. It’s stronger when used with 75% or more Adaptation.
Direct Shot (Off Ball): Functions as a direct volley shot, also gaining power at 75% Adaptation.
Dashes (B Key): Isagi has two types: a 2-charge Offensive Dash (on-ball) and a long-range Defensive Dash (off-ball). Both are enhanced when Adaptation is above 50%.
Awakening Isagi: Includes a new cutscene and a secret variant.
New Flow: Demon King
A new World Class rarity Flow has been added.
Effects: Grants a +20% boost to volley power, a +10% boost to shot power, a slight speed increase, and a longer tackle range.
Rivals Reaction System
When NEL Rin and NEL Isagi face each other in a match, a special clash cutscene can trigger.
Mechanic: It’s a 50/50 chance for either player to win the ball, with the loser being ankle-broken. This mechanic has a cooldown that lasts for the entire match.
New Bundles & Cosmetics
The update adds several new items to the shop:
Character Bundles: Isagi Bundle and Rin Bundle.
Emote: “My Finest Clown” emote.
Goal Effect: Metavision Goal Effect.
Player Cards: Rin vs Isagi player cards.
Cosmetic: Chibi Head Rin.
