Rosalina & Luma Balance Changes

Losing Luma near the ledge is far too cheap, so Rosalina gets a way to call it back. Star Bits, a strong disruption tool, comes out later.

Balance Philosophy

Each mid-tier character receives a buff and a nerf: shave off the most unfair part of the kit while lessening the character's biggest weakness.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Down special (Luma Shot)

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    When Luma is knocked offstage, down special can call Luma back as long as it is still within the detection radius.
    Current issue
    Luma being hit off near the ledge causes Rosalina to lose it too easily.

  2. Side special (Star Bits)

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Start up increased to frame 12.
    Current issue
    It is a strong disruption tool, especially given its range.
