Angela

Beast

• Agile Tumble now properly causes Beast to be invulnerable to damage while moving.
  

Black Bolt
It has been a couple weeks since Black Bolt was released, and we've received a lot of feedback and metric data on how he could be improved.
We've made substantial changes to many Powers and Talents as detailed below:

• Various powers have had their animation timings shortened for more responsive canceling windows, and damage has been adjusted accordingly.
• Power Progression unlock level adjustments:
  
  • Quasi-Sonic Barrier - moved from lvl 18 to lvl 21
  • Regal Mandate - moved from lvl 21 to lvl 24
  • Master Blow - added at level 28
    
• The out-of-combat Charge decay rate has been greatly decreased.
• Killing Word - now deals a 2s irresistible stun.
• Quasi-sonic Explosion - now requires and spends 50% Charge to activate. Deals 4% more damage per 10 Charge spent. Cooldown reduced to 4s. Now has the Ranged keyword and maps from Quasi-sonic Surge instead of Quasi-sonic Blast.
• Regal Mandate - no longer restores Charge and instead reduces cooldown by 6s if 200 Charge can be spent. Keyword changed from Generator to Discharge. This power now animates faster.
• Close Combat - now restores Charge on hit as a Basic power.
• Quasi-Sonic Torrent - default cooldown reduced from 12s to 8s. No longer restores Charge and instead reduces cooldown by 6s if 200 Charge can be spent.
• Terrigen Echo - Charge gain increased to 50%, cooldown increased to 8s.
• Terrigen Breath - Charge gain increased to 20%, cooldown reduced to 4s.
• Quasi-sonic Infusion Talent - removed cooldown increase for Killing Word.
• Inhuman Shockwave - added Melee keyword.
• Swooping Strikes - added Movement keyword.
• Split the Sky Vulnerability duration increased to 8s.
• Cosmic Confluence Talent - The Cosmic Confluence hotspot is now summoned with Split the Sky instead of replacing Quasi-Sonic Geyser. Melee buff removed. Hotspot duration increased to 8s.
• Master Blow is now a permanent power in the Scion of Attilan tree. It has been modified to move Black Bolt to the target before the punch begins. By default, it is a 20s cooldown, non-Signature power with affix "Spend 200 Charge if available to execute targets". This means Black Bolt can now use both Master Blow and Killing Word in the same build.
• Master Blow Talent - now transform Master Blow into a 30s cooldown Signature Power with the Always Brutal affix. Additionally, Killing Word loses its Signature status and is instead a lower damage 20s CD power.
• True Attunement Talent - no longer constantly generates Charge while in combat. Instead, if Charge drops below 50 while in combat, gain 15% Charge per second for 3s (8s cooldown). Also grants health regeneration on Melee hit and a Critical Hit Chance bonus on Ranged hit.
  

Bug Fixes:

• Fury of Attilan Talent’s version of Terrigen Breath now consistently refreshes the cooldown of Regal Mandate instead of sometimes failing.
• Inhuman Constitution now grants Black Bolt additional maximum health.
• Scepter of the Kree Empire (slot 1 unique) now correctly references "Generator" instead of "Charge" Powers.
• Quasi-Sonic Geyser no longer has a cooldown and can be cast even if one already exists in the world (it is replaced), which should prevent situations in which it needs to be activated several times before successfully firing.
  

Blade
Bug Fixes:

• Blade's Killing Strokes should no longer fail to animate on occasion when using the 3rd activation.
  

Captain America
Bug Fixes:

• Shield Bounce will no longer cause Shield Throw to go on cooldown.
  

Colossus
Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where Call Kurt could sometimes fail to summon Kurt after the initial power.
  

Daredevil
Bug Fixes:

• Stamina and Combo Points now clearly states that the Radar Ping effect only occurs once every four seconds. This was always intended, but was not displayed anywhere.

Bug Fixes:

• Deadpool’s Hulk Hand Arrow was playing a voice over effect on activation much more frequently than intended, which has been corrected.
  

Elektra
Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where Marked For Death would reset cooldowns using a power that consumed the mark while Relentless Assassin is active.
  

Emma Frost
Bug Fixes:

• The True Queen should now properly display the current damage bonus conversion from Defense Rating.
  

Green Goblin
Bug Fixes:

• Carpet Bomb will no longer stop Spirit from regenerating for the duration of the power.

• Taskmaster and Hawkeye's Poison Gas Bombs are now limited to 2 simultaneous areas, and the visual 'burnt' decal below the gas bomb has been removed. These types of powers adversely affect performance and will continue to be reigned in over time.
  

Hulk

• Fixed an issue where Hulk Smash! Would not be treated as a cooldown power while the Hulk Smash! Talent was active. It will also properly display a cooldown tooltip while that talent is active.
