1.50.1 Minor Update

Hello, StormStrikers!This is GM Maximus.

We’d like to share the details of the 1.50.1 Update (2025.10.02).

Developer’s Comment

Ahead of the Queen of the Storm – Next Stage 16 Tournament,we’ve implemented a minor balance update based on the feedback you’ve shared during the past weeks.

Since this is right before the tournament, only selective adjustments have been made to avoid major changes in the current gameplay environment.We’ll make sure to actively reflect your suggestions in future updates.

New Character Test Ended

The balance test for Yuna the Crying Maid has ended.

Character Balance

Comment

We want Maximus to be able to catch melee enemies more effectively in extended fights.

Shifu

• Dragon Kick damage increased 100 → 125

• Cloud Step cooldown reduced 4s → 3s

Comment

We aim for Shifu to move more nimbly during prolonged fights, while slightly compensating for previous damage adjustments.

Eveleen

• Key Slot Changes

  • Exotic Matter → additionally available in E slot

  • Accretion Disc → additionally available in E slot

Comment

Since using Exotic Matter and Accretion Disc separately was difficult,

we’re shifting toward a structure where they can be used together.

Lightning

• Spiral Stinger travel distance reduced 1150 → 1000

• Spiral Stinger camera rotation removed

• Spiral Stinger camera lock removed

• Shooting Star startup delay increased

Comment

We’ve slightly adjusted Lightning’s movement for better handling and to allow opponents some room to respond.

Narae

• Divine Energy toggle → changed to hold function

Comment

For convenience, we plan to add toggle ON/OFF features to some character skills in the future.

Other Bug Fixes & Improvements
