Here is the new ANA partner award chart that goes into effect tomorrow, May 23:
When comparing this against the old award chart, I would say roundtrip award pricing is increasing about 10–20% across the board for long haul international routes in business class.
The devaluation looks to be targeting the high value business class sweet spot redemption Virgin Atlantic/ANA has been known to offer.

Given the popularity of this partner award redemption, this devaluation is going to hurt no matter what. ANA business class flying East Coast USA <> Japan takes the biggest hit here for sure.
