Chaos Zero Nightmare February Balance Update – All Buffs and Nerfs

After the overwhelming performances of certain characters in the first season of Galactic Disaster, a wave of buffs and nerfs have come to many characters in the game, with some having massive changes to their skill kits and some only getting minor number changes. 

Here are all the important buffs and nerfs for characters players need to know for the Chaos Zero Nightmare February Balance Patch:

Mechanics Reworks

Among the characters buffs and nerfs changes coming to the update patch, several major gameplay mechanics will experience changes:

Character Reworks

Among the characters getting their skill kit buffed and nerfed during this update patch, 2 of them experience the most amount of changes, with their skill kits being entirely reworked. These characters are Tressa and Cassius.

Character	Changes	Change Effect
Tressa	Overview	Tressa’s performance during the 1st season of Galactic disaster was too overwhelming, with her gameplay mechanics threatening the overall balance of the game, therefore, she has experienced a massive change in playstyle. The philosophy behind her playstyle changes is to limit the amount of daggers she can create with healing and instead increase the damage output of her individual shadow dagger cards damage output instead. Additionally, she will now be able to create advanced shadow daggers at 0 cost and alternate between using normal shadow daggers and advanced shadow daggers to deal damage to enemies.
	Shadow Dagger & Advance Shadow Daggers	– Shadow Daggers now deal more damage.- Advance Shadow Daggers now cost 0 and deal more damage based on Agony stacks.
	Shadow Reload	– Massive changes to Epiphany Effects: Remove create shadow daggers upon healing epiphany effect.- New Epiphanies that can create advanced shadow daggers.
	Vital Attack	– Reduce cost and now apply more Agony stacks on enemies.
	Cursed Gouge	– Now immediately activates the Agony effect on enemies.

Overall, these changes completely shut down Tressa’s infinite dagger creation effect and makes her deal less Agony damage to enemies overall. However, it opens up a brand new playstyle for Tressa and still helps her remain a top DPS character in the game.

Character	Changes	Change Effect
Cassius	Overview	Cassius doesn’t get much of a change compared to Cassius, with only changes to his ability to heal and apply Morale Reduction to enemies, helping him to sustain the team better. Crucially, his most important card epiphany has been nerfed with it having the unique tag, making it impossible for players to create multiple quest cards, so players should pay attention to this.
	Overall Mechanic Change	– Improve healing amounts.- Added Maximum cap on certain damage increase effects.
	Dice Trick	– Added Morale Reduction Effects on enemies when Quest is completed.- Epiphany 5 now has a Unique Tag.

Cassius’ changes doesn’t affect his playstyle too much but does massively reduce his own damage output potential, making it harder to use him overall.

Characters Adjustments

Finally, for the February balance adjustment patch, a large number of characters will be receiving adjustments in their skill kit, effects and overall stats to help optimize their playstyle and more.

The first important adjustment is that Supporter class characters will receive changes to their healing effects, helping to boost their abilities to sustain the team better overall.

Character	Changes	Change Effect
Cassius	Healing Improvements	Cassius doesn’t get much of a change compared to Cassius, with only changes to his ability to heal and apply Morale Reduction to enemies, helping him to sustain the team better.
Nia	Healing Improvements	Nia’s Decibels and Elasticity effects have received massive improvements, allowing her to heal allies better.
Rei	Healing Improvements	Rei can now heal with her basic attack cards and has received an overall buff in healing values in all of her cards.
Orlea	Skill Kit and Healing Improvements	Orlea’s chances to create creatures have been improved. Additionally, her damage, healing amount and shield amount stats have all been improved.

Secondly, the majority of sub DPS and main DPS characters in the game have received massive improvements to their overall skill kits and abilities, with a lot of them receiving important buffs to their damaging cards’ value and effects:
