Aut Patch Rollout: How the Nuclear Star Release Fits the Latest Roadmap
By James H. Sterling
Universe Studio frequently balances newly added kits over consecutive weekly patches. Internal data collected across thousands of 1v1 ranked matches revealed that Nuclear Star's guard-break hitboxes had slightly wider active radii than intended, allowing users to clip opponents standing behind defensive structures.
Subsequent AUT patch updates adjusted the active hurtboxes on Stellar Pulse, bringing startup frames into closer alignment with standard light attacks. The studio confirmed on its official developmental board that future balance adjustments will focus on tick damage scaling rather than removing the kit's core cancel properties. This ensures the Stand remains viable in competitive play without invalidating close-quarters duelists.
