  Patch Notes: 1.10.3

  Patch Notes 1.10.3 Gameplay & Balance Toucan Fruit Vortex pull radius: 700 → 560 uu (−20%). Fruit Vortex projectile speed: 2,000 → 1,600 uu/s (−20%). Fruit Vortex cooldown: 18 → 20 seconds (+2 seconds). Targets that complete their pull can no longer be pulled again by the same Fruit Vortex. Reduced Fruit Vortex hit SFX volume. Bat Primary Attack damage: 14 → 16. Blood Harvest cooldown: 3 → 5 seconds. Blood Harvest base damage: 20 → 8. Bonus damage from 1–5 Bite stacks: 12 / 24 / 36 / 48 / 60 → 8 / 21 / 39 / 62 / 90. Reduced the knockback velocity Bat suffers when Swarm is parried by 55%. Bat Swarm can now be parried once by each opposing player per activation. Repeat parries from the same player no longer block later Swarm pulses. Magpie Intervening players no longer stop Swooping Season from reaching its locked target. Terrain and other world geometry still block the attack. A parried Swooping Season now consumes the current cast and opens its normal 3-second recast window without refreshing Primary Attack. Wing of the Hill Score for securing a hill: 100 → 50. Score for holding a hill: 50 → 25 every 5 seconds. Squawkstreak progress for securing a hill: 100 → 50. Squawkstreak progress for holding a hill: 25 → 10 every 5 seconds. Improvements Bat Bite feedback Bitten players now see a BITTEN debuff displaying their active Bite stacks. Added a crosshatched health-bar preview showing how much damage Blood Harvest would currently inflict without making that Health appear already lost. Added miniature bats that circle bitten players, with one bat appearing for each active Bite stack. Bitten players now hear victim-only randomized bat calls. Each active stack adds another audio layer with progressively higher pitch. Swarm now displays a CANCEL prompt once it can be ended early. Maps and modes Avatar now works in public matchmaking and can appear in eligible map-and-mode votes. Improved Avatar collision, water post-processing, performance and egg spawn locations.

  Patch 1.10.0 - 3 New Birds, 2 New Maps, Prestige, 50% off sale & more!

  New Features New Birds Bat, Toucan, and Magpie are now available from Level 1. Bat — Skirmisher Passive — Ceiling Cling & Echolocation (Interact) Cling to the underside of suitable surfaces. Bat becomes camouflaged after 1.5 seconds and can begin naturally regenerating health after remaining safely clung for 2 seconds. Clinging automatically emits Echolocation, revealing up to four enemies caught by the wave for 5 seconds. Echolocation enters a 15-second cooldown after Bat leaves the ceiling. Bite (Primary) A rapid 14-damage close-range bite with a 0.22-second cooldown. Fire five ordinary Bites before entering a 0.73-second reload. Successful Bite and Bat Swarm hits apply up to five Bite stacks to each enemy. Bite stacks begin decaying after 5 seconds without another hit, losing one stack per second. Blood Harvest (Q) Consumes Bite stacks from every marked enemy, regardless of distance. Requires at least one enemy carrying Bat's Bite stacks. Deals 25 unparryable damage plus 12 damage per consumed stack and heals Bat for 2 health per stack consumed from damaged enemies. Damage is increased by 50% when at least two enemies are harvested. At five Bite stacks, executes enemies whose Health would be at or below 10% after Blood Harvest's normal damage. Cooldown: 3 seconds. Bat Swarm (RMB) Transform into a damaging swarm for up to 4.5 seconds. Deals 12 damage every 0.5 seconds within a 500-unit radius. Swarm hits apply Bite stacks and restore health equal to 50% of damage dealt. Grants 10% additional movement speed. Can be cancelled after the first second by pressing RMB again. Cooldown: 18 seconds. Toucan — Controller Passive — Ripe for Picking The first successful Fruit Vortex pull or Toucarang hit marks an enemy as Ripe for 5 seconds. Toucan's next damaging Primary consumes Ripe for 15 bonus damage and generates no heat. Ripe refreshes instead of stacking, and each Toucan maintains their own marks. Heat Peck (Primary) Hold Primary to unleash a peck attack with three dam...

  Patch Notes: 1.8.21

  Gameplay & Balance Owl Stalker (RMB) Fixed valid grounded destinations being rejected because the supporting floor counted as an obstruction. Improved unsafe open-air blinks by searching back along the full blink route for the nearest valid destination. Fixed canceled or failed casts inheriting success state or desynchronizing the cooldown. Cooldown now applies only after a confirmed teleport. Eagle Talon Dive (RMB) Fixed both Eagles being unable to use primary attacks during an Eagle-versus-Eagle grapple. Fixed attacks queued before an ordinary Talon grab still landing during the carry. Carriers and victims now remain correctly attack-locked outside Eagle mirror grapples. Improvements Combat UI Added a unique bird-themed heat and resource reticle around the central aiming dot for every public bird. Reticles now visualize heat buildup, overheat and vent timing, reward states, Seagull’s Frenzy state, and Shoebill’s heavy-attack readiness using per-bird fill styles. Replaced the legacy lower heat-bar presentation with the new centered reticles. Updated confirmed kill UI/HUD. Bug Fixes Combat & Gameplay Fixed attack damage varying with server frame rate, including burst sequences and scheduled multi-hit effects. Fixed lag-compensated hits on Pigeon’s held primary fire attack, sometimes having damage erased when rollback state was restored. Fixed peck-style primary attacks sometimes being silently rejected by a second fire-rate check. Fixed primary attacks continuing or landing after death, daze, stun, movement lock, or an ordinary Talon Dive grab. Fixed movement-speed slows being applied inconsistently between their initial momentum reduction and sustained speed cap, including Seagull’s Mob Squawk under network prediction. Fixed the local player retaining the previous bird’s collision size after respawning or switching birds. Found an issue? Please report it through the in-game feedback tools or the Birds of War community channels.
