## Patch Notes

### Champion Edition Patch

* 11 new songs added
* Key mapping options and inclusion of arrow format are added to consoles.
* Notification reminding players in level editor for "Simple" and "Difficult" beatmaps must be filled.
* Photosensitivity message is added before game starts.
* By avoiding the inversion effect occurring to the playable character, the player can block the God of Rock's special attack.
* The God of Rock's ULTRA now has its damage reduced.
* Lyn's AI mechanics are now adjusted to reduce the difficulty.
* Inversion of the effect from Edith's ULTRA attack is nulled when blocking.
* Durations from Lyn's Half-Cycle Moon and Kosmic Uprising abilities are lowered to 2.5 seconds.
* Rosetta's meter gate now goes faster, but will decrease if one of her special moves is initiated.
* Ziggy's stun effect against opponents has its duration increased, but "garbage notes" that are captured by the opponent lessens it.
* "When a difficulty downgrade occurs, the penalty for the player who caused the downgrade has been increased. This is to discourage players from deliberately playing poorly in early parts of the song." (Joscelyn Willett)

## Trivia

* *God of Rock* is Modus Games' April release, alongside *Teslagrad 2* (April 19) and *Afterimage* (April 25).
* On the character subpage from the official website, the game's rating is mistakenly E10+, instead of the T rating.
