  • Fixed an issue where Bayonetta’s animations would not play correctly when switching weapons immediately after using the “Crow Within (J*long press)” with the “Scarborough Fair” and “Love is Blue” weapons.
  • Fixed a bug that caused “Black Pearl Rain (Rotate L stick + S*)” for Infernal Demon “Kraken” to trigger “Wink Slave” with abnormally high attack power.
