After per week of terrorizing Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero gamers by way of his infinite bag of health-restoring Senzu beans, Yajirobe may have his stats evaluated in an upcoming steadiness patch, Bandai Namco confirmed. That implies an all-but-certain nerf for the cowardly samurai at the moment dominating in ranked matches.
The Dragon Ball account on X (previously referred to as Twitter) introduced an replace for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will arrive close to the tip of October. Right here’s what it contains:
• Enchancment of a problem the place some controls change into unresponsive throughout on-line matches when traditional controls are chosen
• Adjustment of issue ranges when enjoying sure phases in Episode Battle on decrease issue settings
