NERF
Season 10 - Sep 2026
Weaker at range, ultimate costs more
- Red Room RifleLMB Damage Falloff: Adjust maximum Damage Falloff at 40m from 75% to 65%.
- Increase the energy cost of Assassin's FocusQ (Ultimate Ability) from 2800 to 3100.
The rifle now keeps 65% of its damage at 40m instead of 75%, and Assassin's Focus costs 3100 energy instead of 2800. Long-range picks take longer and the ultimate comes around less often.
BUFF
Season 9 - Jul 2026
Damage Scaling Improvements
Red Room RifleLMB damage increased from 40 to 45 with max damage falloff adjusted from 80% at 40m to 75% at 40m, and Electro-plasma BlastRMB increased from 40 (no charge) - 60 (full charge) to 50 - 70.
Consistent damage boost across all weapon modes improves mid-range effectiveness.
BUFF
Season 2 - Apr 2025
Direct Shooting After Abilities
Black Widow can now directly shoot after releasing the second kick of Edge DancerE and after using Electro-Plasma Explosion.
New shooting windows after abilities increase offensive pressure and extend combo potential.
REWORK
Season 1.5 - Feb 2025
Magazine and Ultimate Ability Adjustments
Red Room RifleLMB magazine increased from 8 to 15, and Electro-Plasma Explosion slow reduced from 80% to 55% but applies 15% Vulnerability effect to hit enemies for 4 seconds.
Magazine sustains offense longer; Vulnerability multiplies team damage despite lower slow.

Ability Speed and Range Improvements
Edge DancerE range increased from 3-meter radius to 5-meter radius, Fleet Foot recovery reduced from 12s to 4s, and Electro-Plasma Explosion charge time reduced from 1s to 0.6s.
