Clan Fight System
Clan Fight is a new game mode that allows clans to compete
against each other every week! Check it out by clicking on the Clan
Fight Info button underneath Epoch Battle on the Arena menu.
Like Epoch Battle, Clan Fight only occurs at certain preset times.
The next Clan Fight will be on 2/16 from 19:00 to 20:00 Server Time. To participate, register your team from the Clan Fight screen after the
event has started. Teams that register will be automatically matched up
with each other.
Update: All players who participate in Clan Fight will now gain
an extra Clan Coin after their first match, regardless of whether they
win or lose! Japanese text remaining in the Clan Fight system should be
fixed now, but there are still some messages that do not linebreak
properly. We will fix the linebreaks when next we can.
Clan Fight Details: - Clan Fight teams consist of 5 to 10 clan members. Up to 2 teams from the same clan may enter.
- Clan Fight matches have a maximum Commando cost limit of 3000, and
a minimum per-robot cost limit of 500. In other words, the entire cost
of your Commando cannot exceed 3000, and each robot in your Commando
must cost at least 500.
- Teams whose numbers of members differ by 3 or more will not be
matched against each other. If enough players from one team disconnect
to create a member number difference of 3 or more after the matching has
been decided but before the match begins, the team with fewer members
will receive a stat boost.
- After a Clan Fight match, each member of the winning team will receive
2 Clan Coins.
About Clan Coins:Clan Coins can be traded in for fabulous prizes, including a
selection of brand new parts! To trade in your Clan Coins, talk to Kuten
Jikun Long near the Clan Counter.

would not properly work or deploy in conjunction with Nicole Malice's
MODE CHANGE, or in which the effect would no longer activate, has been
fixed.
- Bug in which several male characters count as female characters
for the purpose of Dispatch Request Success Rate calculation has been
fixed.
- Bug in which unusual animations would display when using Regina Winberrl AM8 has been fixed.
- Bug in which unusual animations would occur when using Regina Winberrl LG5's THORN BIND has been fixed.

- Bugs in which the sizes of the models of Sylvia V, Fia V, and
Regina Winberrl V would change in size to be smaller have been fixed.
- We are currently aware of a bug in which Purchase History UC
values will sometimes appear as negative, and Rt values will sometimes
appear as UC. We plan to fix this bug at some time in the future, but
because the fix will take some time, we cannot yet say when it will be
fixed. If you notice a strange UC value in your Purchase History, please
ignore it for now.

Planned Balance AdjustmentsIn response to the large volume of feedback that we regularly receive
from our players, we are planning a number of important balance
adjustments for
2/28. Based on said feedback, as well as our own
observations, we believe the following problems to be among the top
causes of imbalance and player frustration:
1. Damage reducing/negating buffs may be
applied repeatedly, allowing buffed robots to remain effectively
invincible for an extended period of time, attacking enemies without any
fear of retaliation.
2. When hit repeatedly with certain types of melee attacks,
robots without the proper defense mechanisms can be put into so-called
"stun lock", becoming unable to counter attack until they are destroyed.
3. Melee attacks with large, long lasting hitboxes can be used to
block enemy projectiles, effectively allowing the melee attacker to
both attack and defend at the same time.
In order to ease the player frustration described above, we plan on implementing the following sorts of changes:
1. A cooldown time will be added for receiving
damage reducing/negating buffs, so that robots will be unable to
continue attacking indefinitely while being repeatedly buffed.
2. Attacks that are known to cause "stun lock" will be changed so
that, when hit multiple times, the target will not necessarily be
stunned after every hit.
3. Melee attack hitboxes that block projectiles will be changed
so that they only weaken the projectiles, rather than completely
blocking them.
The above descriptions describe our planned balance adjustments, but
because we are still working out the details, please understand that
things may change before they are implemented.
Again, the balance adjustments are scheduled for 2/28.We hope that the coming balance adjustments will help make CosmicBreak
more enjoyable for all. Thank you for your understanding and
cooperation.
