General/Other Official Patch Notes for Bane Announced by Ed Boon!

[Sami]

The official patch notes for Bane have been released by Ed Boon from NRS! All upgrades are listed below in textual form and in the image included below. Thanks and credits to Sami for giving us the heads-up. Official source is from Ed Boon's Twitter account which can be accessed with a click at the bottom of the post. Bane players, if you felt your struggles in some match-ups were very uphill, perhaps these upgrades will give you a "boost" - no pun intended.

• Venom Boosts now reduce the damage he takes when hit.
  • Level 1: 5% reduction
  • Level 2: 15% reduction
  • Level 3: 30% reduction

• Infinite Crisis Combo
  • Much safer when blocked
  • Now hits the shorter characters too

• Venom Uppercut
  • Can now be "meter burned" even if it's blocked or misses

no charge cancel thank the gods
that venom reduction will be scary when used right

 

[LAGalactico]

The Infinite Crisis string and MB Venom Uppercut buffs are cool but damage reduction while traited is absolutely retarded, like insane damage output wasn't enough. Yikes.

Many thanks, Sami. This is up on the front page now.

Hurruh I made it!

Bane laughs in the face of interactables now. I sometimes charge through an interactable if I think they are gonna do it. Now I take 30% less in the trade. Superman got you in the corner for massive damage? lol no i'm activating level 3 venom and cutting that shit by 30%.

God damn, Bane is going to be borderline broken. Where the fuck are the ares buffs

 

[Compbros]

I've always said he could use the damage reduction during venom as the amount of damage he takes during cooldown is ridiculous.

 

[NoobHunter420]

wtf? I recently started messing around with bane. this will makes him a strong contender l0l
bane top 1?

 

[187x]

good buffs but he didn't need them. LOW tier my ass

 

[Prinz]

NRS loves Bane, that's a fact. Waiting for those Ares buffs.

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

Yup...going to check Bane out now.

God damn, Bane is going to be borderline broken. Where the fuck are the ares buffs

not even close.

 

[STB Shujinkydink]

This is fucking ridiculous this character was already good to begin with. The rest of the cast better be getting one hell of a buff

 

[BaronVonRupert]

Gruff Bundy.

 

[Sami]

Raven next please. She needs it. All of it. Even the stuff she really doesn't.

 

[Nonameformedude]

Now the real question is..is this actually just a taste, are we seriously getting more???
