Bandai Namco is rolling out a new update to the popular fighting game, Dragon Ball FighterZ. The full patch notes detail the balance changes to characters and bug fixes for specific game modes. This is the same patch update that will take steps to fix the online disconnection issue.
On the official Bandai Namco Facebook page, the patch notes for Dragon Ball FighterZ documents how certain bug fixes during training mode and the battle tutorial are being fixed. However, the biggest changes that fans want to know about are the character balances.
Not every character received a balance fix, but Android 21 and Hit received the most attention, with two changes each. Check out the entire patch notes for Dragon Ball FighterZ below.
