Fixes and Optimizations
Heroes
- Black Cat: Fixed a rare issue where landing a grapple with Turn of Fortune could bypass restrictions, allowing both Claw Whip and Phantom Pursuit from Fortune's Favor to trigger simultaneously. This has been rebalanced.
Blood Hunt
- Moon Knight: Fixed a bug in Blood Hunt mode where the Full Moon Spin Enhancement Gear Extended Effect displayed incorrect Cooldown Reduction limits and miscalculated its Rating score. This has been corrected.
