While Tracer's damage has landed in an effective spot following recent adjustments, reducing Recall's cooldown allows her to disengage more frequently.
Impulsive - Power
- Pulse Bomb Damage decreased to 70% reduced (Down from 60% reduced).
This change is aimed at reducing the effectiveness of Tracer's Recall oriented Pulse Bomb build. We'll be continuing to keep an eye on this build, particularly on Temportal, for future changes to increase its counterplay.

Tracer's base kit enables her to have a very powerful Weapon Power build with little Power support, so we're moving power out of her base kit and more into her powers. We're also improving Tracer's Recall oriented builds by letting her double up on Recall effects with Temportal.
- Minor Perk cost reduced by 10%.
- Major Perk cost reduced by 7%.
- Distance increased to 100 meters.
Tracer's chrono-accelerator is accelerating her chrono more than ever before.

Chronal Dash – Minor Perk
- Blink distance increased by 20%.
Flashback – Major Perk
- Removed.
Blink Packs – Major Perk

Tracer’s smaller projectile size has reduced her consistency against mobile targets. Restoring the global projectile size and slightly lowering damage improves reliability while keeping her overall lethality in check.
