PvP Patch Version: 4.4 Competitive
ISO-patched (USA ver.) MD5 Checksum: b3008e3e7b4c183c9d1eb1380231fa4d

High-Level Overview (PvP Patch v4.4 Competitive)

  • 🤩Alma and Valmafra join the fight!
    • This hefty update adds Alma Beoulve and Valmafra Lenande to the uniques roster, replacing Ovelia and Balthier respectively!
    • Alma – A glorified Cleric, uses her supportive Holy Magicks to provide powerful status effects to allies and also has access to some high-level White Magicks. With her base 87 Faith and innate Arcane Defense, Defense Boost, and Charm immunity, Alma is ready to provide aid and comfort on the battlefield.
    • Valmafra – A Witch of the Coven, has learned the trades of White, Black, Time, Mystic Arts, and Ja-Magicks and selected Anima abilities (previously exclusive to monsters) and is likened to that of both a Red Mage and Elementalist. With her Magicks using a blend of all 5 skill sets, she can cast damaging magicks quickly thanks to her innate Swiftness.
    • Both of these new characters will be available in both Standard and Rendezvous formats.

  • 🔼Quality of Life and Practice Mode
    • The Starter format (the competitive/slot 3 save) has been renamed to Standard to follow other naming conventions used in other competitive games and to set the tone that this is the main competitive format; it is still the Esports-driven format you have come to expect!
    • Araguay Woods is the new home of Practice Mode – where all 8 encounters (depending on how you enter Araguay Woods) are a team of 5 led by a unique character each, tailored similarly to popular and niche setups from Standard. This is the perfect place to practice and test your new squad offline before venturing out into Melee! You might even come across a rare 5 unique character team encounter…
    • You can now rename your unique characters at the Warriors Guild!
    • Iaido and Unholy Sacrifice now properly show their damage/status in the damage preview.
    • Night-time conditions no longer penalize Bows and Crossbow attacks.
    • Improved AI behaviors, such as better decision-making with casting Protect/Shell.

  • 👤Base Stats and Gender Equality Updates
    • The base HP, MP, PA, and MA of all generic squires in all Tactics League formats have been increased to improve their stat spread transition to other jobs.
    • Almost all generic jobs have also received a slight increase in their MA/PA, resulting in better viability of male magical or female physical setups with the total stat spread being no more than 2 points between either gender; you can play any job on any gender and they all can now perform well!

  • ⭐Ability Updates
    • Meliadoul’s Unyielding Blade has been renamed to Unyielding Strike and now works with any weapon!
    • All 8-range abilities have been reduced to 6 – Dispose, Shockwave, and Kiku-ichimonji. This change is to promote engagement.
    • New Ja-Magicks and further additions to Wind, Water, and Earth abilities: Aeroja, Waterja, and Quake!
    • Ninja’s Throw is no longer evadable and can inflict status effects with bombs and shurikens.
    • Fixed the unarmed attack calculation and buffed the damage potential via Brawler.
    • New Reaction/Support/Movement abilities: CT Boost, Critical: Flee, Replenish, Monkey Grip, Nimble, and Dexterity!
    • Shirahadori has returned but has been reworked – it no longer affects normal attacks, but it now sets the hit rate of unevadable physical abilities to 60%.
    • MANY improvements to underutilized abilities, such as Magick Counter now being able to trigger off of unique magic abilities, Bravery Boost and Faith Boost being guaranteed to trigger, and Lifefont and Manafont now being stackable.

  • 🗡Equipment Updates
    • A plethora of new weapons have been added: Apocalypse, Caladbolg, Tiny Bee, Zanmato, Kunai, Thief’s Knife, Zephyr Pole, Crown Scepter, Nirvana, and Flametongue!
    • Many existing weapons have received updates to improve their viability, such as Nagnarok functioning like Ribbon but with positive status immunities included, or all Poles now scaling with the greater of your PA or MA * WeaponPower.
    • Ringmail (clothing) and Peytral (heavy armor) are new additions that provide Initial: Protect/Shell as options; this greatly expands on gear-sourced selections, especially for jobs that need it!
    • New additional gear as well, such as Chaos Helm and Cursed Garb.
    • All “Boosts” or “Halves” element equipment that previously affected Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Wind now affect all elements, except Holy and Dark.
    • New accessories to deck out your team, such as the guaranteed weapon cast/status effect with Chantage, increase your Bravery over time with the Bravely Armlet, and some evasiveness while gaining +1 Speed with the Elven Cloak. Also, look out for several reworked or improvements to existing accessories.

  • 💤Status Effect Updates
    • Protect & Shell:
      • All equipment that provides Equip: Protect/Shell now all provide Initial: Protect/Shell, meaning that gear provides Protect/Shell in a duration the same way Kiyomori or Barrier does.
      • This also means that gear-sourced Protect/Shell is now interactable with abilities or attacks; such as War Cry, Harmony, and Giant’s Axe.
      • The duration of Protect/Shell has been increased.
      • Protect/Shell now persists while KO’d so you can return to the fight with it intact (but they are still on a duration).
    • Veil (formerly Invulnerable) – Renamed to fit the theme better and it now has a status pop-up when it has expired from Steadfast Ring.
    • Invisible – Doubles your evasion rates while active (until you take an action or get hit) and NPCs can now target you but at a lower priority to do so.
    • Atheist, Sleep, and Charm have had their status durations reduced to lessen the duration they have over a single game, but they are still impactful and worthwhile to inflict.

  • 📝Addressing Community Feedback
    • This update’s long-term goals are: to further expand theorycrafting, improve game or match resolution in competitions, and improve many underutilized abilities/jobs/gear.
    • The Protect/Shell changes are from feedback about the typical desire to need always gear-slot Protect/Shell. The <Initial> change, increased uptime, and persistence on death are all about improving these vital buffs as a whole. Additionally, Ringmail and Peytral (alongside Lordly Robe) provide all jobs access to gear-sourced Protect/Shell so you can further your theorycrafting without making sacrifices.
    • Addressing revivals or chain-resurrection: The potency of Ramza’s Encourage, Martial Art’s Revive, and Summon’s Faerie have all seen a slight reduction to create a margin of error to reduce chain-resurrection and to demote the push for draw games. Phoenix Down has also been reduced to 3 in Standard, but now restores 20% of your maximum HP to compensate. Reraise’s spell speed has been reduced slightly to incentive pushing towards bestowing the reraise status but with more counter-plays.
    • Bardsong’s Life Anthem has received a slight potency reduction to reduce total healing done in situations where you get back-to-back casts.
    • Forbidden Dance and Nameless Song’s hit rate increased significantly, though Forbidden Dance is slower now but more consistent. Nameless is also more consistent and can grant Protect, Shell, Haste, and Regen in one go, but has a slower charge time.
    • With changes to incentivize weapon attacking and the reworked Chantage accessory, evasiveness will play a more important role in the future.
