Pokémon Unite received an update just before Christmas. The patch doesn’t bring any new content, but offers many balancing changes. Several characters like Duraludon and Sableye are nerfed, whereas some are buffed; the patch also changes the game version to 1.8.1.4.
Duraludon received the biggest nerf. Its cooldown for Dragon Pulse is increased to nine seconds and additional damage from damage markers is reduced by 25%. Its minimum time between uses for Dragon Tail is increased to 2.5 seconds, and its Revolving Ruin’s shield effect also saw a reduction of 15%.
