🛠️ Hero Fixes & Optimizations
This patch focuses heavily on bug fixes for specific hero team-up interactions and visual alignment issues.
⚔️ Angela
- Graphic issues resolved: fixed a visual glitch where Angela's graphics would render awkwardly if defeated while using the Odin's Unacknowledged Team-Up Ability. The Queen of Hel is officially looking heavenly once again!
🧙♂️ Doctor Strange
- Shield surge balance: fixed an unintended mechanic where using the Psionic Vortex Team-Up Ability allowed Doctor Strange to instantly restore his Shield of the Seraphim back to max value while its enhanced effect was active. The mystic arts have returned to perfect balance!
🔍 Other Bug Fixes & Quality-of-Life Updates
- Mystic video glitch: fixed a bug that prevented the showcase video for the Scarlet Witch & Doctor Strange Team-Up from playing properly in the menu.
- Cloak & Dagger (Crisp Canvas): ironed out jagged texture rendering on the "Sunset Shores" chroma variant of the Coastal Couple skin set.
- Scarlet Witch (Chaotic Choreography): resolved an offset issue in the visual effects placement when Scarlet Witch activates her Floral Tide emote.
