''From The Designers, '' In this patch, we're optimizing Thamuz, Irithel, and some of the other less popular heroes to help them stage a more dazzling performance on the battlefield. We're also rolling out a series of balance adjustments based on the recent MPL statistics in different regions. We hope you all have a great time in this new version! ==I. New Hero== A fighter/mage with a variety of skill combinations but no Ultimate. With the arrival of the last member of the Forsaken Light quad, the gallery for the four heroes has also unlocked. A permanent avatar border is granted once you collect Yin, Melissa, Xavier, and Julian. Passive - After casting two different skills, Julian enhances his third skill. He can upgrade each of his skills to Lv.5. Skill 1 Scythe Julian hurls a flying scythe in the target direction, dealing damage to enemies along the way and slowing them. Enhanced Scythe Julian hurls enhanced scythes in the target direction, dealing damage to enemies along the way and slowing them. Upon hitting a non-minion enemy, the scythes will continue to fly at a lower speed, dealing continuous damage to nearby enemies. Skill 2 Sword Julian summons a flying sword and dashes in the target direction, dealing damage to enemies along the way. Enhanced Sword Julian summons a large number of flying swords and dashes in the target direction, dealing damage to enemies along the way. Julian will briefly disappear and become invincible. After a short delay, he'll reappear at the farthest end. Skill 3 Chain Julian casts chains at the target location, dealing damage to enemies hit after a short delay and immobilizing them. Enhanced Chain Julian casts chains at the target location, dealing continuous damage to enemies in the area and slowing them. Enemies that are still in the area at the end of the skill duration will take extra damage and be knocked airborne. }} ==II. Hero Adjustments== Heroes with major adjustments in this patch include: Irithel, Thamuz, Akai, Floryn, and Kimmy. ====== Irithel's bolts will pack an extra punch with her new Passive, allowing her to deal serious damage even when her Ultimate is down. Passive - Number of Bolts on Each Basic Attack: 3 → 2 Bolt's Damage: 35% Physical Attack → 55% Physical Attack Irithel's skills no longer cost Mana. She accumulates energy while moving and will shoot an extra bolt on her next Basic Attack when her energy is full. Skill 1 - Strafe Damage: 450-650 + 60% Physical Attack → 330-530 + 60% Physical Attack Ultimate - Heavy Crossbow New Effect: When the Ultimate is active, the preparation time of the extra bolt from her Passive is significantly shortened. Lowered the damage of the enhanced bolts so Irithel's overall damage during her Ultimate is basically unchanged: 180 + 85%-105% Physical Attack → 120 + 60%-80% Physical Attack }} ====== To keep Thamuz from fizzling out in the new meta, we're stoking his fire with enhanced Basic Attacks and a buffed Ultimate. Passive - New Effect: When Thamuz is holding his Scythes, his Basic Attack has a chance to conjure a burst of Lava Energy beneath the target. Eruption Delay: 2s → 0.7s Thamuz's attacks no longer apply Scorch to enemies hit. Skill 1 - Molten Scythes New Effect: Thamuz can cast the skill again to retrieve the Scythes. The Scythes no longer stop upon hitting minions. Ultimate - Cauterant Inferno Attack Speed Boost: 1.22-1.44 Times → 1.3-1.6 Times New effect: '''Thamuz gains 500-1500 extra Max HP for the duration and recovers the same amount of HP. On-Hit Regen: 2%-3% Max HP → 1.5%-2.5% Max HP Slightly reduced the Ultimate's area to align it with the visual effects. Other Recommend builds optimized. }} ====== We're optimizing Akai's skill casting experience to make it easier for him to launch his entire combo, but also slightly lowering his damage in the early game. Passive - Damage: 50 + 5% Max HP → 25 + 5% Max HP Shield: 50 + 5% Max HP → 25 + 5% Max HP Skill 1 - Headbutt Casting distance slightly increased. Casting time slightly reduced. Speed of the extra roll after hitting an enemy slightly increased. Skill 2 - Body Slam Casting time slightly reduced. Backswing slightly reduced. Ultimate - Heavy Spin Cooldown: 40-32s → 45-37s Casting time slightly reduced. Now the skill can only be interrupted by suppression and morph effects. }} ====== Hoping to see more battlefields blessed with her presence, we're helping Floryn come into full bloom with an all-around boost on her damage and HP regen. Skill 1 - Damage's Magic Power Bonus: 150% → 180% Ultimate - Bloom HP Regen's Magic Power Bonus: 40% → 70% }} ====== Kimmy's getting some extra help transforming energy with a new, optimized casting experience that allows her to seamlessly transition between her two attack modes. Skill 1 - Now you can hold the Skill 1 button to continuously shoot Chemical Bolts in the target direction and release the button to stop the attack. When Kimmy's energy runs out, her Basic Attack will revert to normal Spray Gun attacks. You need to accumulate energy and release and hold the button again to shoot Chemical Bolts. }} ====== We're infusing more power into Nana's boomerang to help her hold her ground in the mid lane. Skill 1 - Damage: 220-345 + 110% Magic Power → 245-370 + 120% Magic Power }} ====== Passive - Fixed an issue where dead Diggie could trigger the effects of Cursed Helmet and Battle Spells. Ultimate - Time Journey Base Shield: 600-900 → 650-1000 }} ====== We expect to see Pharsa's sustained damage soar into new highs as we enhance her Spiritual Unity with Verri. Passive - Cooldown: 10s → 8s }} ====== Cecilion's been overshadowing other mages with his superb damage and sustainability, so we're cutting away some of his innate defensive power. Attributes Base HP: 2516 → 2456 Base Physical Defense: 20 → 18 ====== We're looking forward to a more electrifying performance from Edith in team fights as we infuse the Primal Warden with an even greater Primal Wrath. Ultimate - Ranged Basic Attack's Base Damage: 15-45 → 35-65 }} ====== We're infusing more power into Lapu-Lapu's heavy sword to help the Bravest Fighter burst down his enemies in battle. Ultimate - First Two Attacks' Damage: 280-440 → 300-480 Third Attack's Damage: 420-660 → 450-720 }} ====== We're lowering the mana cost of Alice's Ultimate to boost her performance in extended battles. Ultimate - Mana Cost: 50-90 → 40-80 }} ====== We're giving a slight boost to Natan's sustained damage during his Ultimate by increasing his Reverse-Clone's inherited attributes. Ultimate - Reverse Clone's Attribute Inheritance Ratio: 30-35% → 35-40% }} ====== Bruno's laning performance is getting a slight assist with increased damage from his Powerball. Skill 1 - Base Damage: 120-320 → 145-320 }} ====== We're further curbing Beatrix's lethal arsenal to give other heroes a chance to strike back before getting shot down. Passive - Physical Attack Bonus: 360-535% → 350-525% Ultimate - Renner's Apathy and Wesker's Elation Cooldown: 24-18s → 32-24s }} ====== Belerick's Deadly Thorns are getting some much needed pruning to trim back his baseline power and early game advantage. Lane Recommended Lanes: EXP Lane/Jungle → EXP Lane/Roaming Passive - Deadly Thorns Damage: 95 + (5 × Hero Level) + 1.5% Max HP → 55 + (5 x Hero Level) + 1.8% Max HP }} ====== Quite a few heroes have hit a wall when facing Grock in the battlefield. We're eroding some of this stone-cold advantage by rolling back his durability and burst potential. Passive - Extra Physical Defense for Each Point of Physical Attack: 0.6 → 0.5 Ultimate - Wild Charge Initial Damage: 300-500 + 50% Physical Attack → 360-600 + 75% Physical Attack Extra Damage: 600-1000 + 150% Physical Attack → 360-600 + 90% Physical Attack }} ====== Baxia's been dominating the Jungle in the new meta. We're putting the brakes on his damage and mid-to-late game durability while still revving him on with early initiation power. Attribute HP Growth: 228 → 193 Ultimate - Base Damage: 40-60 → 40-50 }} ====== A simple buff to help the Duke of Shards stand out among his fellow assassins. Passive - Enhanced Basic Attack's Damage: 70 + 80% Magic Power → 85 + 90% Magic Power }} ====== Skill 1 - Saber can now cast this skill during dashes. }} ====== We're glad to see that more and more players have mastered Wanwan since the last optimization, but she may have been rising too much in power. We're slightly nerfing her damage to address this. Ultimate - Physical Attack Bonus: 40% → 35% }} ====== We're cutting down the control power of Lylia's Skill 1 so she'll have to aim more carefully when spamming her Shadow Eneray. Skill 1 - Slow Effect: 40% → 30% }} ====== We're reducing Karina's early game damage, especially when she's taking the tankier route. Her late game damage with Magic Power builds is basically unchanged. Passive - Lost HP-Based Damage: 7 (+2% Magic Power )% → 5 (+2.5% Magic Power)% }} ====== Valentina's loomed large over higher play, so we're cutting down her early game power to give the overshadowed heroes more play time on the battlefield. Passive - Extra EXP: 15-50 → 8-50 Skill 2 - Arcane Shade Cooldown: 10s → 12s }} ==III.
