Dear Ballers, Thank you for enjoying < 3on3 FreeStyle >.
This is our 4th DEV NOTE to introduce you more details and behind stories regarding our Update Patch on 12/22, 2021.
Our Newly announced PG position character "Ayla" is a younger sister of "Nadia", who you are already familiar with. Aren't you curious about her story after watching the trailer video? Then, take a Look!
Ayla's Background Story
Ayla is a girl from a well-to-do family who has been taught "elite basketball" since childhood. She is currently an employee of the "COMMANDER Sports Agency" and is looking for talented people hidden in the streets. Meanwhile, she happened to get to know Nadia's street baller friends, which is her older sister. Ayla had a sense of rivalry with her older sister, and she now offers her friends a new way to get their lost court back.
Ayla's In-game Characteristics
"Blood is Thicker than Water." The common with her sister, Nadia
Like Nadia, she has an Offense/Defense conversion skill.
She can use the "Face Guard" skill that she learned with Nadia from a young age.
The standard of a point guard with a good Offense/Defense balance: "Commander" Ayla
Offense Style: As a pick-and-roll handler, she is strong in passing and breaking through the screen.
Defense Style: Has agile movements and intercepting skills.
As we mentioned earlier in our 3rd DEV NOTE, we finally made a large-scale correction to the skill that was judged to be underutilized. Also, the character "Walker"'s stat increase balance patch was also made for more fair competing environment.
Skill Adjustments: Upgraded Skill
The success rate of [Diving Catch], [Sliding Catch] skills have been increased. Through this, we expect that the competition for loose ball of PG position characters will become more intense.
The skill activation distance and success rate of [Floater], [Running Floater] skills have been increased. In addition, the skill has been changed to increase the activation distance according to the “Long Distance Layup” stat. We look forward to adding various play patterns with more attack options utilizing powerful floaters.
We adjusted Logic of [Screen] skill to motivate more use of various teamwork strategies. [Screen] skill range has been adjusted to expand according to the balance stat of the character using the skill, and the shooting success rate of the opponent around the friendly screen has been greatly reduced. It is expected that various pattern studies and tactics using [Screen] skill will be conducted through this and teamwork will be the key to win in the future matches.
Character Adjustment: Upgraded "Walker"
Even if he have the 5-star skill [Shot Fake], he can use "Freestyle Jump Shot".
Walker's "Long Distance Layup" and "Jump Shot Block" stats have been increased.
In the future, adjustments to skills and characters that are judged to be underutilized will continue to be made. Through this, we 3on3 FreeStyle Developers will strive to introduce various skills, freestyles, and tactics to the court.
You can check out the details of the adjustments through [Characters] > [Balance Patch] button on the below in the game.
Contrary to our intention, various Freestyle skills are not used in the existing Freestyle skill activation method, and the offense tactics are dependent on a certain Freestyle skills. We < 3on3 FreeStyle > Developers concluded that this would lead to a simplification of the gameplay. Thus, with this update patch, the activation method of the Freestyle skills will be changed to the following:
"Change of Freestyle skill activation method" to avoid relying on specific freestyles
Each Freestyle skill has a set number of uses, so you can only use a Freestyle skill a set number of times in a match.
The set number of skills per match will increase according to the level of the freestyle skill.
“Freestyle Skill” slots open to encourage the use of various Freestyle skills
Freestyle slots have been opened from 6 to 9 additional slots.
The number of opened Freestyle slots are affected by the level of User's account level.
Due to this change in the Freestyle skill Activation method, we expect that there will be more play using character's unique skills and utilizing teamwork than before. Even after this update, we promise to keep improving our game by focusing on the "fun" aspect of gameplay.
That's it for our 4th Dev Note. We wish you enjoy our new changes in the game. Also, we sincerely hope that everyone stay healthy and that all ballers have an enjoyable experience with 3on3 Freestyle. Thank you!
