MONTHLY BAN AND ERRATA UPDATE 12/03/2024
UVS Games Game Design Team
Happy December, fighters! This year ends with a short article, featuring a single entry in our Ban & Errata list.
Card Errata Update
Neito Monoma
Neito Monoma
Old:
Response [Once per game]: After your attack deals damage, gain all abilities on your rival's character for the rest of the game. This ability cannot be canceled.
New:
Response [Once per game]: After your attack deals damage, gain all Blitz, Enhance, Form, and Response abilities printed on your rival's character for the rest of the game. This ability cannot be canceled.
Monoma was our first modern attempt at a character copying the opposing character, but he was written under our old design philosophy where we weren’t experimenting with new ideas quite so rapidly. We’re using a lot less blanket ideas when possible. Monoma questions come up quite a lot from both players and in our internal discussions when developing new projects. The change to his character at this time is primarily to limit his interactions as the Retro pool grows ever wider. We considered limiting him to non-Continuous abilities, but chose instead to point out the specific types of abilities he will be able to emulate moving forward. This also prevents current situations like the “Immortal Monoma” in the Reiner Braun, Warrior matchup, since the ability allowing Neito to return to full health is Reiner’s continuous ability that causes Reiner Braun's transformation.
