WILD HEARTS Patch Rebalances Claw Blade, Buffs Karakuri Katana and Bow

The patch also adjusts Talismans that drop from Murakumo and Volatile Murakumo, granting them skills other than Wind Boost.

A new update is available for Omega Force’s WILD HEARTS, bringing much-needed adjustments to the Claw Blade. Some of these include the Wingblade Spin Slash no longer decreasing the gauge if your claw is stuck in a Kemono. Gauge consumption from Wingblade Crescent Slash is also reduced.

While the Wingblade Crescent Slash’s power is less, it does gain invincibility frames on start-up (if the claw is lodged on a Kemono, of course). The Bow has also received some much-needed buffs, like recovering Karakuri Thread with resonance after executing a basic Karakuri combo. Dodging with the ranged weapon also consumes less stamina.

Karakuri Katana users can also celebrate since it now generates more Karakuri Thread than before. Finally, those fighting Murakumo or its Volatile version and only getting Wind Boost with their Talismans, they’ll now have other skills. Check out the full patch notes below.

Another content update is coming to WILD HEARTS on April 20th. It features a new Deeply Volatile Kemono, Deathhaze Gloombeak, and Serial Hunts, survival mode-style hunts that require defeating numerous Kemono.
