Projectile Fighter Lethal League Gets New Content and Balance Patch

LethalLeagueSMALL

The folks at Reptile Games recently pushed out a new patch for their non-traditional fighting title, Lethal League. If this is your first time hearing about the game, think of it as the most intense round of Rose Ball that you’ve ever played.

The patch brought several new additions to the game including a new character, Dice, who brandishes a ping pong paddle to lay waste to his opponents. While the paddle may not seem quite so cool as the weapons Candy Man or Latch bring to the field, the patch notes claim that the new fighter can “deflect and give a spin to almost anything at any speed,” which could stand to add even more chaos to an already hectic game. The game also received a new mode, a new stage, and some new music to keep things interesting.

Of course, there were plenty of balance tweaks added with this update and you can find those below.

Patch Notes

This update adds a new character to the Lethal roster, Dice, the cunning ping pong player. Dice wields an average ping pong paddle with such immense force and control that he’s able to deflect and give a spin to almost anything at any speed.

And there’s more! All characters can now use expressions, like NICE or BRING IT. Added to that is a character unique animation. A new mode has been added called ‘Strikers’, give it a spin by switching the ‘Free For All’ tab and see what that is all about. Another reason to start ballin’ again is the raised XP level, going up to 33 now with new palettes and a special ball as reward.
