It might not seem like it, but Omega Strikers is a highly competitive title with a ton of depth, which is why the recent 2.3 patch is a big one for the community. Why? Because it brings a new character, Finii.
The developers at Odyssey Interactive didn't forget about previous Strikers, also making some much-needed balance changes to spice up the experience for long-time players.
The Omega Strikers 2.3 patch is a hefty one, so let's get straight to it and see everything it brings to the game.
Omega Strikers 2.3 patch notes
First, let's talk about system changes.
System changes
Maps and modes
High Tea Hijinx
A brand-new mode. It features four new maps, Strikers will battle it out in insane new environments in a first-to-3 frantic showdown.
The four maps are:
- Flipped

- About Face
All Strikers on the map will have their own Hijinx buff which will grant the following:
- 125 Move Speed
- 75 Power
- 30 Ability Haste

Note: the maps are larger so the size isn't particularly apparent but missiles and movement abilities cover relatively less distance
- Increased in-game experience gain.
