Increased Mana Cost and reduced the damage in the early and mid game.

Crimson ButterfliesPassive↑ Buffed

Lantern FlareS2↓ Nerfed

Gloo has been on the bench for quite some time. While he shines in the early and mid game, Gloo struggles to deal with back line enemies in the late game (generally, Gloo has to pull their carry back to his allies to have a chance). So we want to increase Gloo's ability to kill enemies solo.

Grab, GrabUlt↑ Buffed

With Control Immunity when she has her last HP bar removed, Masha can be easily controlled constantly, which doesn't feel great. In addition, her high HP cost makes it difficult for her to prepare for late game team fights. To remedy this, we're reverting some of the changes to her base stats.

Ancient StrengthPassive↑ Buffed

New: When depleted, each HP bar blocks one instance of damage and removes CC effects for Masha.

Wild PowerS1↑ Buffed

Howl ShockS2↑ Buffed

ThunderclapUlt↑ Buffed

We'll continue to monitor how the damage boost and CC removal affect performance on the Advanced Server and make adjustments as needed.

Ha, Electrifying Beats!Ult↓ Nerfed

While being able to use Defiant Sword without cost from walls has improved Ling's control experience, casting Defiant Sword twice in a row gives the opponent no room to react.

Defiant SwordS2↓ Nerfed

Defiant SwordS2's normal version and the version used from walls now share a cooldown.

We want to speed up Julian's jungling and combat before Lv. 3 while allowing him to be more flexible with his basic attack between skills.

Smith's LegacyPassive↑ Buffed

Currently, the distance that Charge moves is a bit too far, which makes it difficult and awkward to follow up with an enhanced basic attack. So we want to improve that and make it more fluent.

We're going to reduce the distance travelled with Charge while balancing this nerf with other changes.

ChargeS2~ Adjusted

Improved the visuals of enhanced basic attacks.

Triple SweepUlt↑ Buffed

Improved the smoothness of casting follow-on skills.

Synchro FissionS1↑ Buffed

Reduced the backswing time of Skill 1 by 40%.

Chrono DashS2~ Adjusted

Harith's shield is now generated before the dash, but no longer receives an increased shield value based on the number of nearby enemy heroes.

Improved the smoothness of casting follow-on skills.

Sand WalkPassive↑ Buffed

Reduced the backswing of enhanced basic attacks by 50%.

Improved the smoothness of casting follow-on skills.

Fission WaveUlt↑ Buffed

Reduced the backswing time of the Ultimate's first stage by 50%.

Our previous adjustments severely affected Ruby players with low Emblem levels in the early game. So we've decided to retain some of Ruby's Spell Vamp.

Let's Dance!Passive↑ Buffed

With our previous adjustments, Melissa was able to deal damage to enemy heroes from afar with bonus attacks against Muddles, simply by attacking without a target. And there's nothing the enemy can do about it.

Eyes on You!S2↓ Nerfed

Only basic attacks that have a target will trigger bonus attacks against Muddles, meaning basic attacks that don't have a target will no longer trigger this effect.

Reduced the Mana Cost of some skills and simplified the cooldown mechanism of Entropy? to match the purple buff adjustments.

SuperpositionS1↑ Buffed

Interference!S2↑ Buffed

Entropy?Ult↓ Nerfed

Ending the Ultimate early no longer refunds part of the cooldown, instead ending the Ultimate puts it on cooldown.

Reduced the Mana Cost of some skills to match the purple Buff adjustment.

Ring of PunishmentS2↑ Buffed

Reduced the Mana Cost of some skills to match the purple Buff adjustment.

Ionic EdgeS1↑ Buffed

Transcendent WardS2↑ Buffed

We want more sustained damage heroes that don't rely on basic attack to be able to use the new War Cry talent, but we also don't want some heroes to trigger its effects too quickly (like Hanabi and Kimmy. So we're changing its activation requirements.

You will now need to land 3 consecutive separate Basic Attack hits (multi-damage attacks now only count as 1 attack) or skill damage dealt on enemy heroes to activate War Cry.
