''From The Designers, '' After the equipment and Penetration adjustments in the latest version, many heroes' damage in the early to mid game has been significantly increased. Therefore, we have adjusted some equipment and heroes accordingly. We'll also keep an eye on the heroes who have yet to be adjusted but also benefit from the Penetration adjustments. In addition, we also adjusted some other heroes who didn't meet or exceeded our expectations. Magic Chess Season 6 is coming to an end. Season 7 - Superheroes Return will arrive soon! New hero's exclusive mode Natan's War will also be available in this version. Let's enjoy his special charm! ==I. New Heroes== Will be available on July 23rd (Server Time). Launch week 30% OFF. The savior who travels through time and space, and a magic Marksman who can inflict damage to enemies within a specific area. Passive - Each time Natan's skills hit an enemy, he gains a stack of "Entanglement" that provides additional Attack Speed and Movement Speed. Skill 1 - Superposition Natan shoots a dense mass of energy in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies along its path. Skill 2 - Interference! Natan launches a gravitational attractor in the designated direction. The attractor explodes upon reaching the end, knocking back nearby enemies and dealing damage to them. Ultimate - Entropy? Natan summons a Reverse-Clone at a target location. It inherits some of his attack attributes and copies all of Natan's movements and attacks reversely. Natan can use the skill multiple times to dash towards his Reverse-Clone. }} ==II. Hero Adjustments== ====== We noticed that Karina could be especially powerful on some rare occasions but was too weak most of the time. Therefore, we nerfed her ability to sustain damage (with Passive) and slightly strengthened her single burst ability (with Skill 2), hoping that these adjustments could make her more balanced in different matches. We'll continue to observe the effects of these adjustments. Passive - Extra damage dealt based on enemy's HP lost: 13% → 11% Skill 1 - Dance of Blades Movement Speed Boost: 35-50% → 45% (for all levels) Skill 2 - Dance of Death Damage: 305-430 + 115% Magic Power → 375-600 + 125% Magic Power }} ====== Stacked Basic Attacks provided Paquito with an extremely powerful close combat ability, so we changed how his attacks are stacked, making sure his enemy can better counter him when Paquito's skills are all in cooldown. To balance out the adjustment, we made it easier to trigger enhanced attacks, ensuring that Paquito can be best prepared for combat before he enters the battlefield. Passive - Now Basic Attacks can't build stacks, but Paquito can build stacks by using a skill without hitting any target. Max Stacks: 4 → 3 Ultimate Stacks: 2 → 1 Skill 2 - Jab Cooldown: 6-4.5s → 7-5s Base Damage: 200-500 + 120% Physical Attack → 150-450 + 150% Physical Attack Enhanced Damage: Changed according to the same ratio as Base Damage. }} ====== We noticed that the battlefield changes limited Phoveus' power, so we have made some adjustments to help him deal more damage. Skill 1 - Cooldown: 3.5s → 2.5s Ultimate - Demonic Force Base Damage: 440-680 → 660-980 Magic Power Bonus: 150% → 180% }} ====== In hopes that this pair could have better performance on their own rather than only assist in other heroes' attacks, so we slightly strengthened their combat ability on single targets and nerfed their support ability. Attribute Base HP: 2325 → 2425 Passive - HP inherited by Kupa: 1300 + 80% Popol's HP → 1300 + 70% Popol's HP Skill 2 - Kupa, Help! Extra Physical Attack Bonus for Shield: 120% → 160% In the Alpha Wolf Form, knock enemies airborn for: 0.6s → 0.4s Skill 3 - Popol's Surprise Trap Charging Time: 18-12s → 22-16s }} ====== Minotaur now saves more rage due to his frustration at his lack of power. Passive - Increased Rage regenerated from hitting non-hero units with skills. Ultimate - Minoan Fury Increased Rage regenerated by 10%. }} ====== Sun summoned his Doppelgangers too frequently after the previous adjustments. Skill 1 - Cooldown: 10-7s → 10s Ratio of Attributes inherited by the Doppleganger: 50% → 40%-55% }} ====== As the most strengthened hero in the last update, Lunox' Passive seemed too efficient. Passive - Magic Penetration converted from every 1% of Cooldown: 1.5% → 0.8% Defense converted from every 1% of Cooldown: 2 → 1.2 }} ====== We slightly reduced Luo Yi's burst ability in the early game, but increased the functionality of her Ultimate in the early game and her burst ability in the late game. Passive - Reaction Damage: 400 + 15 Hero Level → 365 + 20Hero Level Ultimate - Diversion Cooldown: 65-55s → 55-45s Max Range: 18-28 → 20-28 }} ====== Passive - Max Stacks of Magic Defense Reduction: 15 → 10 }} ====== Ultimate - Shield: 500-900 + 150% Magic Power → 400-800 + 120% Magic Power Immobilizing Effect Duration: 0.5s → 0.3s }} ====== Passive - Enhanced Basic Attacks' Base Damage: 160 → 200 Skill 1 - Soul Bloom Base Damage: 460-660 → 435-685 Magic Power Bonus for Damage: 70% → 100% Decay Ratio of Damage dealt to the same target: 35-45% → 35% (for all levels) }} ====== Skill 2 - Cooldown: 7s → 6s Ultimate - Lethal Counter Cooldown: 32-24s → 28-18s }} ====== Attributes Base HP: 2649 → 2569 Base Physical Defense: 20 → 18 ====== Skill 1 - Base Damage: 40-100 → 25-100 }} ====== Ultimate - Increased HP after enhancing Nightmaric Spawn: 500-2500 → 1000-3000 }} ====== As a Tank, Tigreal's Skill 1 even had a longer area of effect than that of some Mages who use Mana, so we made some adjustments accordingly. Skill 1 - Reduced its area of effect. }} ====== Ultimate - HP Regen per second when split apart: 4-5% → 3-3.5% }} ==III.

Battlefield Adjustments== ===Equipment=== New Rule: Now equipment can be sold at its original price within the first 15s of the game. ======== ======== We limited some main equipment with Penetration effects to balance Penetration Bonuses provided by the adjustments to damage calculation mechanism.
