Omega Strikers Update 2.1 Live Alongside Patch Notes
Odyssey Interactive has released a new Omega Strikers update alongside patch
Odyssey Interactive has released a new Omega Strikers update alongside patch notes that reveal and detail everything the update does. Most notably, the update adds two new characters, twins named Vyce and Octavia. In addition to this there is a new asher, a new map, new gear, and much more. And like most updates, this one requires a download.
How big the file size of the update is, we don't know. This information has not been disclosed, but the patch notes are extensive and the update contains new content so the file size could be on the meatier side. Speaking of patch notes, you can check out the complete and official patch notes for the update right below:
SYSTEM CHANGES
CHARACTERS
[NEW] Vyce is an explosive long-range Striker who uses an electrified guitar to deal heavy damage and warp across the field. She can drop thunderbolts from the sky to stun enemies from a distance, launch chain lightning attacks, and emit a MASSIVE shockwave that sends enemies flying. With Vyce, it's all about finding the perfect moment to warp into your enemies and start melting their faces with a ripping guitar solo.
[NEW] Octavia is a speedy but fragile Striker who excels at controlling the core and evading enemy attacks with her pair of psychically-controlled speakers. Her entire playstyle is built around Flow State, which grants her a scaling speed boost that refreshes its duration whenever she hits something. To become a true virtuoso with Octavia, you'll need quick reflexes and a focused mind in order to continually extend your Flow State for as long as possible.
Asher's kit was too oppressive at keeping the Core forward, which made it very frustrating for opponents when trying to counter her core control. We're removing her passive shield barrier and moving that to the duration of her PRIMARY ability cast only. If she casts PRIMARY on her side of the field, her barrier will be larger and unbreakable. We think these changes, along with a defensive buff to her SECONDARY, will improve her tank-like playstyle. All of these changes should improve counterplay against opposing Asher forwards, but we'll be keeping a close eye on how she performs as a Goalie as well. Does that fit the criteria for a "mini-rework"? You tell me!
