Season 2 · Oct 2 · Patch Notes

NEWFight History

Every fight now has a full report on sushidrew.com/fishfight: who won, damage and healing per player, the big moments, and what everyone earned.

NEWTop Healer

The end screen now gives the best healer a shoutout next to the MVP.

NEWPlayer search

Searching for a player on the website now suggests names as you type.

NEWCard packs can start fights

Bits packs and gifted-sub packs now roll for a fight on every card, just like a normal catch.

Faster results

Rewards were taking so long with big parties that XP sometimes never showed on the end screen.

• Rewards with 12 players: 39.6 s⇒2.4 s
• Spoils screen: 3.4 s⇒2.6 s
• NovaToken roulette now closes 2.4 s after the winner shows
• Rewards still loading show "..." instead of a guess

Join timer

With stream delay, viewers only had about 10 seconds to type !fight.

• Join window: 15 s⇒25 s

Tougher fish

Launch night was too easy. Parties of 8 to 12 cleared almost everything and climbed the ladder in one night.

• Fish health: +10%
• Damage to fish before their stagger break: -15%
• Damage to fish while staggered: -20%
• 1-star fish now swing twice against 9+ players (second swing at half damage)
• Escort fish can now be up to 1 rung above your catch

Ladder rungs 10 to 19

The higher rungs now get meaner as you climb.

• Each rung adds +6% chance to hit twice, +1% crit chance, +3% ability damage, and harder crits

White Mage

Fish hit harder in big parties, but heals did not grow with them, so healers fell behind.

• Healing per player past 4: +0%⇒+7% (+56% at 12 players)

Black Mage

Black Mage did far more damage than every other job. Still the top damage dealer, just by less.

• Basic spell damage: -15%

Weedle

• Poison Sting: 2⇒4 poison

Bunby

• Heli Swoop damage: x1.35⇒x1.6

Dracky

• Bang damage: x1.1⇒x1.3
• Frizz damage: x1.9⇒x2.25

Koopa Troopa

Shell Bounce with a Bokoblin in the same fight was wiping full parties.

• Shell Bounce damage: x0.7⇒x0.6

Shoal Day

Shoal Day was not adding a fish to 1-star fights, and it was too easy when it did.

• Fish in 1-star fights: 2⇒3
• Fish health: -38%⇒-20%

Sharper Teeth

• Fish crit chance: +22%⇒+30%
• Fish crit damage: x1.5⇒x2.0

Fast Water

It only sped up attacks. Now it lives up to its name.

• Fish abilities are now 25% faster too

Salvage Tide

• Your borrowed relic now shows its picture and name on your card when the fight starts

All items

Items felt too weak. Every item works off a share of your stats, so it hits the same at level 1 and level 30.

Blue Shell

• Damage per shell: 7%⇒15% of max health

Poison Mushroom

• Poison: about 7%⇒about 45% of max health over 14 s

Bob-omb

The explosion now plays before your health drops, so you see what hit you.

• Damage: 35%⇒40% of max health
• Lowest health it can leave you at: 60%⇒50%

Mushroom

• Max health bonus: +20%⇒+30%

Fire Flower

• Fireball damage: 70%⇒90% of your attack

Power Star

• Invincibility: 6 s⇒9 s

Lagging Tail

• Slow: 10 s⇒14 s

Blooper

• Blurred aim: 5⇒8 attacks

Fewer fights, more weight

Fights were happening so often that players leveled way faster than planned.

• Catches that start a fight: 30%⇒20%
• XP per fight: x4⇒x2
• Magicite per win: 0-2⇒0-1
• Fight coins for a 1-star win: 2⇒1

Items

• Catches that find an item: 10%⇒4%
• No new item is caught while 3 are already waiting

Short Line

Leveling up now clearly moves your catches up the ladder.

• Reach above your level: 4⇒5 rungs
• Reach below your level: 8⇒4 rungs

Fixed

• Fire Flower, Blue Shell and Power Star did nothing in fights
• XP was sometimes missing from the end screen
• Relics like the Lurker's Ring could not be equipped on the website
• Lurker's Ring skipped viewers who were watching but not chatting
• Lurker's Ring could give 0 fight coins (now at least 1)
• The fisher's name disappeared during catch reveals
• The old 2D fishing scene flashed behind the forest
• !fish worked while the stream was offline

Help us tune

These are the big changes. Tell us in chat how they feel.

• Difficulty: are fights too easy, too hard, or right?
• Lurker's Ring: wear it, stay quiet, and check you get seated
• Items: watch for the Bob-omb blast, Blue Shell and Poison Mushroom
• Short Line: do your catches feel close to your level?
• Team makeup: parties without a White Mage or a Warrior wipe far more often
