Not in the official balance log

Two changes are live in the game but missing from The Balance Log, the journal published by Gamer Robot: the Lightning [C] (Sky Judgement) hitbox decreased by 20%, and the Venom Bow [TAP] cooldown increased by 1 second.

Until late August 2026 the Blox Fruits Wiki page only linked to that log and noted the Lightning nerf. The full list was copied there between August 30 and September 21, 2026, and this page follows it.
