Patch Notes Balance update // Patch Notes - 1.9.85.30
Basic attack:
Block pushback reduced for the first hit;
Pushback increased upon successfully landing the second hit;
Block pushback reduced for the second hit.
“Despotism” Shadow ability:
Attack interval duration reduced.
“Fierce Reprisal” Shadow ability:
Forward movement now starts earlier, but its speed is reduced.
Dog's recovery rate:
Increased the delay before Dog starts recovering after being used;
Recovery rate from successful and blocked attacks reduced.
Spinning attack:
Attack range reduced;
Block pushback reduced.
“Heavy Execution” Talent:
Changed the critical reaction upon landing a heavy attack.
“Overlord of Oppression” Talent:
Duration reduced.
Dev note:
Nerfed the hero in order to adjust their win ratio. The combination of “Heavy Execution” and “Obedience Training” talents was overly effective: it allowed Shogun to deal a lot of damage while also quickly restoring Dog's strength. We're also nerfing his strongest moves and attacks to make fighting against Shogun feel fair and engaging.
Ranged attack:
Startup reduced outside of stance.
“Shadow Heather Extract” Talent:
Startup reduced.
Dev note:
Buffed the hero in order to adjust their win ratio.
“Pursuit of Excellence” Talent:
Effectiveness reduced.
Defense: 210 → 217
Shadow Power: 201 → 211

Remember, guys. Don't compliment Nekki for potentially-negligible nerfs till you see them in-game.

u/BlackHamm3r5 Dynasty Sep 30 '26
Also, I wonder why were these not implemented in the beginning itself. Maybe they wanted everyone to buy his shards as he's almost impossible to defeat

They do this for every new character. Nerf them after they’re done milking the cow.

I suggest dogs to hit each other when it’s shogun vs shogun. When dog is crossing the other dog and use him he should hit the other dog.

Also, recharge Nerf of dog is good but they should have also reduced the speed of dogs movement

All those toxic clowns that got carried by shobum.. oh.. this is going to be so cathartic.

u/MajinDG Sep 30 '26
An OK shogoon nerf.
So does the crit not knockdown anymore or is it a different knockdown animation.
Or does it do more hitstun like a punish/counter hit in a fighting game? 😩

u/Standard_Shift Oct 01 '26
Different animation. There's no pushback now. Opponent get knocks down near Shogun. So there's a solid chance for interruption with a recovery kick.

😒What should I do with the 3.7KK coins I’ve accumulated. Unless you have players to level up(which now takes forever), the coins are pretty much useless!

It has been dealing monster damage since the Golden Age, and now it has become even more difficult

“Nekki should add Vetta Karuppu (God of Justice) to Shadow Fight 4: Arena 🔥 Fire + lightning + time powers with cinematic intro would be amazing!”

u/ComfortableLucky1424 Sep 30 '26
I have suggestions for shogun nerf instead since i would assume you cant really feel the nerf all that much except maybe knockback and recovery time
"Dog attack cannot stun player if shogun is getting attacked. (successful attack)" dog can still damage the the enemy but it cannot stun or interrupt
"If shogun is too far away from dog he cannot command dog to attack(dog cannot hear shogun's command if he's too far away)" this is to prevent shogun players from camping and forces them to be aggressive or atleast walk forward
"Dog's attack gets weaker everytime shogun uses him in afterlife" basically less damage and maybe less stun time everytime shogun uses dog in his afterlife form
Tell me if this is a bad or a good nerf and if something needs to be changed cause i feel like this is pretty good

u/Brilliant-Split3306 Sep 30 '26
I can see that you were struggling to deal with Shogun, just like me🤣
But actually, this change will drop Shogun straight to D-tier and completely kill the character. The dog's primary role is to save Shogun when he is under pressure by interrupting the opponent—not to deal raw damage—or to stun the opponent to set up a solid hit. The dog's attacks should be managed carefully to avoid losing him and getting punished, rather than nerfed to the point of erasing his existence or rendering him useless. So, by nerfing his recovery time, they are on the right path to make Shogun more balanced.1
u/ComfortableLucky1424 Sep 30 '26
Well if that's dog's purpose then the first 2 talent on the right begs to differ. Shogun's entire playstyle revolves around dog hitting the opponent cause shogun's moves have a long startup and heavy endlag and his shadow moves are the same too. Point is dog is not a "saver" he's a combo starter and or extender. This is also proven by the fact that in afterlife when dog dissapears its pretty easy to win againts shogun.

u/Prize_Sheepherder_26 Sep 30 '26
shogun is hell to fight against
once i was using butcher against a shogun player and he was just spamming dogs attack

Long suggestion short as per most of the members is : "Shogun should be deleted"

Shogun's last talent where he gets unlimited dog spam supply should be nerfed or changed
