Post-launch plans
Hotta confirmed a ~6-week patch cadence, with the first patch focused on a new Cosmos-element character and a co-op Anomaly raid. PS5 trophy support arrives in patch 1.1.
What we're watching
The 1.0 meta is built around Frost Freeze and Volt Hyper comps; the next two patches look poised to introduce a Cosmos reaction comp that could shake up the tier list.
