- Cooldown increased from 7 to 8 seconds.
Concussive Blast provides Pharah with both mobility and displacement. Increasing its cooldown reduces how often she can reposition herself and disrupt enemy movement.
- Now pulls enemies in after a short delay instead of pushing them out.
- Temporarily slows non-tank enemies.
Pharah’s Concussive Blast is a piece of utility that is normally difficult to use. Providing it with a very clear utility, in this case slowing non-tank enemies, allows Concussive Blast to be used aggressively more often.

Pharah has had 3 distinct viable options for most of her Stadium lifetime, so we're doing a lighter touch here by reworking a couple of her least picked Powers and Items.
Concussive Force – Minor Perk
- Damage reduced from 50 to 30.
Rocket Salvo – Major Perk
- Damage reduced per rocket from 40 to 30.
Pharah’s recent damage‑focused perks have improved her kill potential, but their combined consistency has pushed her burst damage too high and are being reduced.
- Bonus movement speed reduced from 40% to 30%.
- Pharah can now move while using Barrage.
- Explosion damage reduced from 30 to 25.
- Removed.
- Added.
- Concussive Blast deals up to 50 explosion damage.
Drift Thrusters’ functionality has been added to Pharah’s Barrage, allowing limited movement during the ultimate to reduce friction when using it. Barrage damage has been slightly reduced to offset the added flexibility.
- Removed.
- Has increased self-knockback.
- The more Pharah knocks herself back with her Rocket Launcher, the faster she moves.
- No longer deals damage to Pharah.
Pharah knew she couldn't compete with a beloved cat in a jetpack so she decided to ground herself as well.
Sky Spy – Major Perk
- Removed.
Rocket Salvo – Major Perk
- After using a movement ability, the next primary fire shoots two spiraling mini-rockets, each dealing 40 damage.
