official patch notes
Jun 30, 2026
Developer Note

Developer Note
Stop swinging around mindlessly, and focus on setting up your team. Vendetta’s Whirlwind Dash now pulls enemies in, leaving them an easy target for teammates. On top of that enemies will have to think twice about dumping cooldowns and bullets into Warding Stance now that it can reflect projectiles. Oh, and one more thing… don't tell your enemies, but Sundering Blade now hits behind Vendetta as well as in front.

Baptiste
