Tracked numbers for Winter Soldier
NERF
Season 10 - Sep 2026
Slower voltage charge and a weaker slow
- Increase time required for a single charge of Tainted VoltageE from 5s to 6s.
- Reduce the slow effect applied upon Tainted Voltage hitting an enemy from 35% to 25%.
- When selecting the Team-Up with Elsa Bloodstone, Enhanced Effect: Reduce Bonus Health generated by Ceaseless ChargePassive from 70 to 55 while the Team-Up is active.
Tainted Voltage now takes 6s per charge instead of 5s and slows by 25% instead of 35%, so enemies he tags get away more easily.

Winter Soldier's Wasted Wipeout: Resolved a bug where Winter Soldier's Ultimate ability would unexpectedly reset when hitting a feigning-death Thor (during the Ragnarok Rebirth Team-Up). Bucky's bionic arm is back to respecting the God of Thunder's theatrical naps.
