[Developer's Comments]

This is the continuation of ongoing improvements across the cast. We want to stay away from mechanics that prevent player actions or favors inaction. However, we didn't target Throws with these changes, so every Hero still has a way to deplete a low stamina opponent if the opportunity presents itself. As for the other exceptions, we will monitor their performance and adjust in the future if needed.

**KHATUN:**

- Khatun can now follow a successful Deflect with Frightful Kick by pressing Guardbreak.

- Ultimate Authority Hit Recovery has been reduced from 700 to 600ms to leave Khatun frame advantaged on hit.

- Relentless Peace Hit Recovery has been reduced from 1700 to 1600ms to leave Khatun frame neutral on hit.

[Developer's Comments]

We want to address some of the main concerns Khatuns face without over-compensating and making the Hero too strong.

First - Kathun will now be able to Frightful Kick from Deflect. This will give players a clear option against chain attacks with uninterruptible stance.

Second - Ultimate Authority now ends with Khatun in frame advantage, allowing them to continue their offense after landing it. As for Restless Peace, it is now frame neutral (it used to leave Khatun at a disadvantage).

With these changes, Khatuns should still think about which outcome they want without feeling too penalized for it.

**PIRATE:**

- Cavalier Dance now only has 166ms parry window.

- The new parry window is from 400ms to 566ms (instead of 400 to 600)

- Note that the LAST frame before the hit was removed. Not the first one.

- Walk the Plank now only has 166ms parry window.

- The new parry window is from 566ms to 733ms (instead of 566 to 766)

- Note that the LAST frame before the hit was removed. Not the first one.

[Developer's Comments]

At the highest level, Cavalier Dance & Walk the Plank are not effective at opening the opponent's guard, as players can react to them (and their feints) earlier than expected. The goal behind this change is to test if this approach can resolve the issue. By removing the last frame of parry, it should make it an even playing field for players of all levels.

If this change does not work, we will look at other avenues, such as polishing or reworking the animation.

**SHAOLIN:**

- Sun Sweep no longer chains on Miss.

- Sun
