No balance changes today guys, just a PS4 bug fix and a change to allow further balancing.

No objections to giving the rose more health? I think the lotus healing covered that. Normally I agree with your post but that’s a bit much. I get it for all the Rose mains out there but that’s ridiculous. More ammunition?! You’re creating a monster. The game will be full of roses and people will simply stop playing. People will switch teams just to be Rose allllllll the time. This would literally kill the game.
You're forgetting; all the Rose variant's current maximum health of 110 is not enough to survive in a solo ops session against a large group of enemies. Arcane Lotus can only go so far, but not far enough. A health increase for all variants is needed to help them survive a very tight situation in ops mode. You think this would kill the game? No, absolutely not.
Party Rose's ammunition count of 18 is just too weak. Her damage output per shot is not enough to do heavy damage to a 200HP character (All-Star, Super Brainz etc.). She needs a permanent ammunition increase to compensate. 20 instead of 18 is ideal.
Rose does not need a buff. Two CC abilities, and an invuln ability combined with her floaty jumping makes her survivable enough. She is also able to very consistently deal damage once she gets the homing upgrade.
If you don't use her abilities intelligently or don't take advantage of her awesome jumps then yes Rose is underpowered... but as a wizard class she should not be the best at straight up fights. Also the game is not balanced around Ops, look at monsters like the Vamp flower.
Agree, as pirates, rose jumping and dancing is really frustrating, somehow rose has weird target box.You can't get damage when shot her cloth. You have to hit her head or center of her body so it's like hitting a thin jumping stick that constantly moving all the time, it's very hard to hit.
Then you think, hmm, let me smack her face with super brains, oppss, she changed me to goat...mbeekk mbeekk... or let me imp punt/sprint tackle her, opss, she time snare me before that....then smack me while running away. If she got surrounded/ambush by scientist, she goes invincible and runs off to plants crowd for help. She can use this to finish you off as well and fly you high to the sky (DING....)!!
Her charged attack and homing upgrade are nasty. She will play hide and seek then come out with a charged attack then finish you off with homing rapid fire very quickly.
Rose is a support character but a smart and skillful rose is very dangerous and hard to kill. She is OP character under a player who knows how to use her strength and minimize her weakness.
