Quality of Life Improvements

Kunigami Rework Overview
Kunigami’s rework introduces powerful new Flow mechanics, synergistic animations, and improved utility. These changes are designed to make Kunigami a more viable offensive unit with cinematic impact moments.
Heroic Clash – Dark Horse (New Flow Variant)
When activated during Flow near a teammate or enemy, this ability now steals the ball from the nearest player. This gives Kunigami a strong presence in close-quarter skirmishes.
Justice Header – Chemical Reaction (Auto-Goal Variant)
If Kunigami activates Justice Header inside the enemy goal box and Isagi is nearby, the move will now trigger a cutscene that automatically scores a goal.
Additional Adjustments
- Lefty Shot has been buffed for stronger utility.
- Heroic Clash has increased hitbox size and lingering duration for better ball coverage.
- Justice Header will still activate even when holding the ball, but with 60 percent reduced power.
