The Combat Overhaul

Patch Notes:

The Clutch Claw Rework:

- All blademaster weapons have had their clutch claw attacks overhauled.

Now, instead of being used solely for tenderising, the attacks only do a fraction of the tenderising damage they used to (around 16 to 20 percent) meaning you'll have to pull off 5 or 6 seperate attacks in order to tenderise.

To compensate, every clutch claw attack has been greatly enhanced with better MVs and element/status scaling, and now deal mounting damage as an alternative to tenderising.

- Weapons that had multi-hitting finishers that drained a sh*t ton of sharpness now have single hit finishers with buffed MV's.

Weapon Rebalance:

- All blademaster weapons now have increased element and status scaling to promote build variety.

- Gunlance, Lance, Hunting Horn and Insect Glaive have had various MV buffs to make them more on par with the rest of the roster

(and to make aerial IG good lol). Gunlance clutch claw attack now does KO damage!

- Greatsword's non-charged attacks have recieved buffs to MV's and element/status scaling to diversify gameplay and equipment use.

- Switch Axe  has recieved a full overhaul. Sword attacks now use up much more guage (esepcially in amped state), but have slightly buffed MV's and much stronger

element and status scaling, making amped sword a dps powerhouse. Axe attacks will now be used much more often, so MV's for the axe have been buffed across the board.

To balance out the sword, axe attacks no longer charge the guage as fast. Overall switching is very frequent now and the weapon is much more proactive, focusing

on both modes rather than just the sword exclusively.

Mantle Rework:

- Mantles have been totally overhauled, now having much more potent effects, at the cost of being active more much less time. To balance this out, mantles also have

much shorter cooldowns.
