• Mandy rework
  The projectile-speed increase from Mandy's old In My Sights Star Power is added to her base kit while Focused. Caramelize is reworked into an aimable, ammo-consuming shot whose 2-second slow is stronger at close range; its Buffie gives Mandy a proportional speed boost. Cookie Crumbs is now aimable and consumes ammo, and its Buffie refunds 50% of its cooldown when it hits a Brawler through a wall.

The Hypercharge Buffie doubles attack bells from 1/2/3/4 to 2/4/6/8, with each dealing 65% damage.
• Berry rework
  Friendship Is Great's Buffie drops an ice-cream puddle under each healed ally. Secret Formula replaces and reworks Healthy Additives into an ammo-consuming extra scoop with a longer-lasting puddle that grows when main attacks land in it; its Buffie makes those attacks bounce onward. Floor Is Fine's Buffie gives allies standing on Berry's ice cream 20% faster reload. Sticky Toppings is reworked so the initial main-attack impact slows enemies by 10% for 1 second, and its Buffie gives Berry 10% movement speed when his melted ice cream slows enemies.
