Killer Instinct – Upcoming Balance Update Buffs Jago, Nerfs Glacius, and More
Iron Galaxy announced that Killer Instinct’s base version will go free to play when the 10th Anniversary Update drops, with the new Anniversary Edition containing all content. That’s not all, as several balance changes are on the way, making this the first big balance pass since Version 3.9.13 went live in August 2018.
The patch has been created with the help of the game’s “strongest and smartest players” and includes several buffs to Jago, who gets faster backward and forward move speed. Jumping Heavy Punch’s hitbox and active time have also decreased, while Tiger’s Fury has seen several adjustments. Glacius has received several nerfs, including reduced pushback on block from Light, Medium and Heavy versions of Cold Shoulder.
There’s also a fix for a bug causing projectiles to not receive the first-hit double damage bonus. Check out some of the patch notes below and full notes here. Characters like Sabrewulf, TJ Combo Kan-Ra, Hisako, Shadow Jago and more remain unchanged, so keep that in mind. It was to avoid making “risky changes just for the sake of making changes” since the developer believes they’re still “capable and strong” without them.
Killer Instinct is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Stay tuned for more details on the 10th Anniversary Update and its release date in the coming weeks.
