Bandai Namco released the latest update of Dragon Ball FighterZ earlier this week. Version 1.38 sees major changes to both character balance and universal system mechanics.
The new balance patch is DBFZ’s first in over a year and comes nearly seven months after the game received a long-awaited rollback netcode update on February 28. The patch was handled by Bandai Namco and the developer Arc System Works in a team effort.
Version 1.38 focuses on increasing player options and game speed by buffing character damage and pressure sequences, and decreasing the effectiveness of over-centralizing mechanics. Other changes include buffs to anti-air attacks, invincible super moves, and the speed of normal attacks.
Overview of Changes
Z Assist (C Type)
C Type assists received a universal nerf by having their cooldown time increased. The move retains its ability to generate huge advantages and mixup opportunities but will no longer be the highly abusable tactic it has been in previous patches.
Sparking Blast
Players can now Super Dash or perform Special Moves out of any Special Move while Sparking Blast’s effect is active. This change boosts the overall power level of all characters and allows players to have greatly increased freedom of expression when attacking or juggling their opponent.
Anti Air Attacks
Certain invincible moves that could only be stopped with crouching heavy attacks now have increased vulnerability to anti-air attacks, increasing player options for dealing with approaching opponents.
Super Moves
The invincibility of Super Moves for each character starts faster, giving them increased utility.
Special Moves
Light, medium, and heavy variations of Special Moves now count as separate attacks towards the Z combo limit. This change gives players enhanced freedom of expression in their combo routes.
Normal Moves
Many normal attacks are now faster and remain active for a longer period of time. Some characters received new attack extensions or the ability to extend attacks even after missing the opponent.
