Shadow Fight 4: Arena patch notes 1.9.40.100: All improvements and adjustments

The developer has improved the jump/roll cancel system so that it does not provide some players with an unfair advantage. Since they were gaining positional advantage by cancelling their jump/roll animations, this advantage is being removed with this update. The character will return to the initial point of the jump or roll animation after canceling it.

Furthermore, the opportunity window for canceling jumps and rolls has been shortened. Now, such moves will be less effective and significantly tougher to perform.

The patch notes 1.9.40.100 show two hero buffs, two hero nerfs, and a hero adjustment.
