Get ready to lock and load as Michelle is dropping soon! Michelle is a quick-fire striker that uses a heavy machine gun to lay down suppressing fire on the battlefield killing everyone that stands in her way.
Skill Overview:
Reload (A)
Reloads your machine gun to restore ammo. Reload is automatically used when ammo runs out.
Gun Emplacement (Q)
Places her machine gun on the ground, becoming immobile but granting the following effects.
Anti-tank Mine (W)
Places an anti-tank mine at the current location lasting 30 seconds. Mines gain charges every 18 seconds with a max of 3 charges. The mine explodes when an enemy Hyper steps on it, doing damage and slowing enemies.
First Aid (E)
Holds still to perform first aid. Removes harmful effects and restores health over time.
Uranium Rounds (R)
Loads heavy Uranium Rounds for the machine gun granting unlimited ammo and an attack buff.
Using Michelle’s Skills Effectively:
Michelle is a tough one. You are going to get your biggest damage bonus when using Gun Emplacement but will also lose the ability to get out of trouble quickly as you cannot move. That’s why you will want to make sure to have your Anti-Tank Mines placed in front of you or behind so you can make a quick getaway and have them snare your enemy if possible.First Aidis on a short cooldown so should be used frequently for the extra sustain on your Hyper. This will allow Michelle to stay in lane longer than other Hypers. Also don’t forget her ability to keep Hypers zoned out away from your turret and base, especially using Uranium Rounds during particularly nasty fights. They call it suppressive fire for a reason!
Michelle is a striker, and as with most strikers she is going to benefit hugely from the increase in crit damage. Stacking atk power and crit is going to be the quickest way to success on Michelle. Since you get the biggest damage bonus when you use the Emplaced Gun, anything that feeds that flow is going to help. Many players also enjoy taking the ESP Assault Rifle for the extra range and speed which is not a bad choice. Ultimately it’s up to you on whether you want to hit harder or attack faster. Fury of the WIld is another option that will further increase your attack speed, so keep that in mind. Build smart, Hypers.
Not sure what to build? As always, you can hop into our Discord to discuss itemization with other players.
You can blast into the battlefield with Michelle for a mere 15,000 GP or use a Hyper Coupon, which you can earn by leveling up and playing games.
Remember: Lock and Load soldier!

v3.6 Patch Notes
Hey Hypers,
We are excited to introduce a few new changes in the v3.6 patch notes. See below for the full details:
Game Changes
Delta Station Beta
A new map called (Beta) Station will temporarily be added. Since this (Delta Station) beta map is still in its developmental stage, it will only be available when queued for a Regular match. Players will have a 50/50 chance of getting the new (Beta) Station map or the regular Delta Station match. Dragon Refuge will only be available through AI and Custom matches.
We have made the following changes:
New Map:
Old Map:
We want you to give us your feedback on the map change and patch. We’ll have a forum thread up where you can do just that, located HERE for Steam and HERE for the Nexon Forums.
Dev Note: After analyzing the play patterns of Dragon’s Refuge, we found that the static attack pattern from the front was a major pain point for players. We have taken the information we gathered from Dragon's Refuge and combined it with Delta Station to make a new map, Beta Station. In order to make the last portion of the match more dynamic we made changes to Delta Station’s base area. You should now expect attacks on your final turret to come from above, below, left and right.
Match Penalties
Skin Previews
Surrender System
Added a Surrender System that lets the players surrender the match when it is difficult to win the match due to allied player disconnecting.
Gold Acquisition Change
In order to give more advantages to the Hypers who participate in active hunting and battles we are adjusting rules for gold acquisition.
Cube System Changes
We understand that the previous cube system was a large pain point for many players. We have taken your feedback about the system and made some huge changes that we believe will alleviate many of your concerns.
The Cube System has now been adjusted so that you can create the samples you want using your Bits in the new Synthesis system.
Select the skin that you wish to create samples for:
Select how many of the samples you would like:
The samples are then created and added to your inventory:
Hyper Balance Changes
Victoria
Divine Blessing -
Sinner's Prayer -
Blessed Heal -
Redemption -
Dev Note: Currently, Victoria has the highest victory rate out of all the Hypers. This is because her skill efficiency is too high compared to other Hypers. Therefore, her overall skill cooldowns have been raised and her healing reduced.
Signal
Regular Attack -
Plasma Repeater -
Target Scan -
Evasive Action -
Dev Note: Signal is a Hyper that has some of the most stable DPS and sustains high firepower in any phase of a match. In fact, when looking at all factors relating to damage, victory rate, KDA and others they are significantly higher than for other Strikers. Therefore, we decreased Signal's overall skill options and values.
Pinky
Cootie Beam -
Boo-boo Ball -
Dev Note: Pinky is a support who helps her allies greatly by using various skills. However, currently she is stronger than we intended during laning phases and in group fights. Therefore, we decreased some of Pinky's attack skill damage.
Yuna
Plasma Cutter -
Dev Note: Yuna is excellent in both combat and jungling due to the 'Plasma Cutter' skill's lasting effect even when having equipped tanky builds. As a result, we have slightly lowered the value of 'Plasma Cutter'.
Jack
Dice Roller -
Roll the Bones -
Dev Note: Currently, Jack is one of the lowest picked Strikers. Since we want Jack to be a more considered pick, we added a new option to the skill ‘Dice Roller' and upgraded some of his equipment. Additionally, we fixed the error where the Attack Speed wasn't being properly applied when the dice number was 6.
Tooth and Tops
Spearfishing -
Twice as Loud -
Dev Note: Currently, Tooth and Tops has the highest death count average of all the Hypers.
We have adjusted his skills so that he can better withstand the enemy's firepower. We have also upgraded his equipment so that he can use 'Double Crush' without being interrupted.
Equipment Balance Changes

Exclusive Effect (Stage 5) -

Liu kicks his way into battle!
Hey Hypers,
Everyone’s favorite Martial Artist superstar is joining the fight for the Hyper Universe! Liu is a fast moving, hard hitting flurry of kicks and punches and is sure to shake things up when he drops into Hyper Universe.
Skill Overview:
Nunchuk Rush (A)
A swing of his Nunchuks 3 times at your enemy, doing increased damage on the last hit.
Rabbit Sweep (Q)
A low kick to do damage to enemies within range and down them.
Flowing Kick (W)
A leap forward with a powerful kick that does damage to all Hypers in his path. If Hypers have been hit with Master’s Challenge then they will also be stunned for a short duration.
Master’s Challenge (E)
Provokes enemies within 1200 units granting him an attack and defense buff against those Hypers as well as lowering the attack of the affected Hypers.
Dragon Flip (R)
A kickflip that will damage and stun enemies hit by it followed by a second flip that will launch and damage any enemy in range. This skill can be cancelled into Flowing Kick.
Using Liu’s Skills Effectively
Liu is a quick attack assassin through and through. He gets into a situation quickly and annihilates a target and then gets out. You will want to use Master’s Challenge before charging in whenever possible as all enemies hit by it suffer doing 50% less damage to Liu for the duration. Closing the gap on opponents is easy with Flowing Kick. This will let you close the gap and do damage to everyone hit. Once in close you can immediately use Dragon Flip which will reset the cooldown of Flowing Kick to be used again for extra damage or a quick escape. You can follow it up with Rabbit Sweep if they are still alive and buy yourself time to lay down some auto attack and Nunchuk Rush damage.
As with many Assassins Liu benefits greatly from an increased crit and crit damage build. You want to focus on big, powerful, high damage hits. Items like the Dragon’s Bane and Assassin’s Katar will do wonders for you. Also keep in mind that you may have to hunt down low health Hypers from time to time and the Katar will do increased damage to those stragglers. As always, many of the unique items add both damage and utility to his build, so get out there and experiment!
Not sure what to build? As always, you can hop into our Discord to discuss itemization with other players.
You can hop into the battlefield with Liu for a mere 15,000 GP or use a Hyper Coupon, which you can earn by leveling up and playing games.
Remember: WA-TAAAAAH!
