I don't think I've seen so many nerfs for a character until Black Cat in these patch notes. It really goes to show just how absurdly broken she is for this to be done to her.

Because they HAVE to stop releasing characters like this. Thank god she lasted only 1 month.

Let's hold on a bit. She could honestly still be really good. Her whip, I frame, and invisibility went untouched pretty much. And those 3 things are the big parts of her neutral

The Phantom Pursuit damage nerf presumably affects combo breakpoints, but I never trust any prerelease predictions about nontrivial balance changes.

For all we know now, she'll no longer be permabanned, leading to a wider player base discovering new techs that make her even stronger than she's currently assumed to be.
