- All versions of Martial Arts Storm Kick now have a 5% greater chance to cause a Critical Hit in all cases.
- FX for Controller and Mastermind Glue Arrow should persist after the initial target’s demise now (the Defender version already had this property.)
- Dual Blades / Vengeful Strike: Synched this power’s floating numbers to better fit with when the character hits the target.
- Trick Arrow powers should no longer cause weapon redraw issues with Archery (Blaster or Defender) or Mastermind Ninja bow powers.
Tailor / Custom Weapons
- The Custom Rularuu claws should now be unlockable
- Bowstring on Talsorian bow should now stay attached to the bow
