PvP-exclusive balance adjustments have also been made. These do not affect solo or co-op play. Some of the adjustments include decreasing the power of two-handed attacks and heavy running attacks, as well as decreasing the effectiveness of certain types of spells and skills.
The update also includes general balancing tweaks for weapons, talismans, and spells, including adding an invincibility window when resurrecting in the coliseum and increasing range and speed of certain attacks.
Finally, the update also fixes several bugs, including those that prevented certain status effects and attack types from being taken into account for certain weapons. Full patch notes can be found on the official Elden Ring website.
