September Patch Notes are here

Don't get me wrong here, most of these changes are completely justified...

Party Characters being allowed to fill their legendary meters with Shared Vanquishes is wonderful. With their lower damage compared to their default counter parts, they aren't always able to land the final blow on their enemy. With Shared Vanquishes charging their meters, they'll probably feel like actual legendary characters now.

Arcane Lotus receiving some buffs is great. It was just too situational to be very useful before. You took an effective finishing/escape tool and replaced it with a mediocre method of healing allies, and you couldn't even see how much health they had. With more speed, the ability to see the health of your allies, and a small self heal, I think we might just see players use it much more.

Lil' Drake having his weapon recoil increased is very good. Well, for the Plants. Not the Zombies. He was a little too accurate before, making it easy to continue landing hits from any distance, keeping the enemies alight on fire until they fall. With more recoil, he won't be as effective for medium to long range.

Alien Flower wasn't really on par with the other Sunflowers in terms of damage output. With a higher clip size and more damage for her spore attack, She'll be significantly more effective on defense, and when trying to make an escape.

Electro Brainz and Toxic Brainz were always a bit too effective with their long range beams. With a higher amount of recoil to their beams, they won't be as effective at a distance, which is great, seeing as how Super Brainz is supposed to be a melee class.

Others, I'm a slight bit confused on...

Sure, a decrease to the cooldown of the Armored Heal Station is something, to say the least, but it still won't make up for its extremely slow heal rate. I'm still going to cringe every time I see a Scientist whip this thing out. If it had a significantly faster heal rate, this might mean something, but right now, it hardly keeps the Scientist or his friends up and in the fight.

I feel that the S.H.R.Imp was intended to be more of a ranged Imp, with his weapons firing lasers instead of projectiles. With more recoil and an increase to his bullet spread inside the reticle, they're kinda taking away what he's supposed to be good at.

I've always hated the Petrified Cactus, and it's great to see her get a significant nerf in clip size and damage, but she still lacks range. She's still a variant of the Plant Team's sniper class, guys, why are her projectiles so slow?

And then, there's... A buff to Nec'Rose.

Sure, a little bit more damage may seem non-threatening, but I think this might just make Nec'Rose overpowered... Or more overpowered than she already is.

With the special function of jinxing enemies with her charged up shot, Nec'Rose makes her enemies take 75% more damage from all attacks than normal. The developers claim that this it to help her in fights where she doesn't manage to jinx her target, but... She has splash damage, so there's no real worry about missing the enemy with a charged shot up close when you can just aim for their feet and hit them that way.

This is a massive buff of about three damage per shot on a jinxed opponent. She's capable of landing hits of 11 now, and 13's with the damage upgrade. Now, not only does she have a large clip size, but she also now packs a massive amount of damage when enemies are jinxed.

The only reason I can see a good Nec'Rose player not jinxing their opponent is when the target is being healed by a Scientist, as healing removes the jinx debuff.

Long story short, Most of these changes are good, but I feel Nec'Rose did not need such a massive buff.

(THANK YOU FOR BUFFING PARTY CHARACTERS)
