- Katars operate under the same counter rules seen in spears (ie. a stab input will counter a Katar’s slash and stab attack)

- When inputting Jab, players wielding Katars will headbutt instead of a standard weapon jab
- Slash, stab, and overhead attacks of the Katars will not cause the opponent to flinch when you successfully land a hit
Highland Sword
- Adjusted attack damage for the following attack types:
- Slash: 60 → 50
- Heavy Slash: 80 → 70
- Overhead: 85 → 70

- Overhead windup: 0.45 → 0.475
- Heavy Overhead windup: 0.60 → 0.625
- Stab windup: 0.40 → 0.425
Javelin
- Tightened turn cap to be more in line with other adjustments seen in spears
Lance

Dodging

Horses

- Added takedown score for killing an enemy horse
- Improved horse collisions in relation to constructible

- Fixed an issue where slash attacks would desync on slower weapons after blocking an attack while not making any movement or mouse inputs
- Further adjustments to the parry box to prevent jump stabs from being too oppressive.
- Further improvements were made to projectile hit accuracy on impact with a player.
- Removed an exploit where hitting the environment with a special attack would reset the attack delay.
- Decreased spawn invulnerability time for arena mode and initial spawn after warm-up
- Made the hanging chandelier hitbox slightly smaller
