↑BuffExperimental Adjustment: The interaction between Skill 1 and Skill 2 for greater mobility proved less efficient. So we simplified the skill set by retaining the original flexible Skill 1.
[Skill 1] (Revamped)
Freya leaps to the target area, dealing Physical Damage and knocking enemies Airborne while gaining shield (no longer need to cast skill 1 to enhance Skill 2).
Valkyrie SlashS2↑ BuffedIncreased damage range.
Valkyrie DescentUlt↑ BuffedBasic Damage Increase30-60→30-90
~AdjustedBased on ongoing evaluations, some of last week's adjustments have been reverted.
Added effective range indicators for Skill 2 after connecting with enemies.
Optimized the Ultimate auto-targeting logic.
Puppet-on-a-StringS2↑ BuffedWe've added an effective range indicator circle after Skill 2 hits enemies to help players make
judgments and ensure the connection won't accidentally disconnect.
HeartguardUlt↑ BuffedThe reduction to the Ultimate's shield bonus from Total Magic Power has been reverted.
Optimized the auto-targeting logic for direct Ultimate casts. The Ultimate will now auto-target the allied hero with the lowest HP percentage if that allied hero has taken or dealt damage within the last 3 seconds. This avoids the skill from attaching to allies who are out of combat or recalling.
Manual targeting is not affected by this change.
↓NerfWe're happy to see Hilda back on the battlefield, but her enhanced Basic Attack strength is a bit too high, so we've made necessary adjustments.
At the same time, we've adjusted the Shield gainedSkill 1→scale with level to balance early and late game strength
To balance this change, we've increased the pursuit speed of enhanced Basic Attack to improve laning suppression and minion clearing efficiency.

↓NerfDue to Xavier's Skills 1 and 2 increased width, making the Mystic Field easier to trigger, his
performance slightly exceeded our expectations, so we've slightly reduced the immobilize time.
Mystic FieldS2↓ NerfedImmobilizing Time1.2s→0.8s−0.4s
↑BuffWe want to reduce Aldous's scaling time and encourage greater participation in mid-game
teamfights.

Soul Steal Cap650→600−50
New Effect: Gain 5 stacks of Soul Steal when nearby enemy heroes die.

high-level CC.

Battlefield & System Adjustments
1Battlefield & System Adjustments Overview
#Battlefield Adjustments
We've noticed that allied heroes sometimes accidentally kill creeps and steal buffs when helping Junglers. And we aim to reduce the likelihood of such occurrences.
New Mechanism: In the early game, when buff creeps in the allied Jungle Area die, as long as there's a nearby allied hero with Retribution who has dealt damage to the creep recently, the buff will be given to the nearest allied hero with Retribution, even if the creep was killed by a non-Jungler hero.
Equipment Adjustments
9Roaming Boots
After several patches of Gold adjustments, the average economy of the roaming position now
significantly exceeds other lanes. We will make a small adjustment to bring it back down, and it will still be higher than before.
To ensure Roaming Boots are used as intended, we've added some restrictions that prevent non-roaming heroes from purchasing them.
Unique Passive - Thriving
Gold and EXP gained every 5s: reduced by 25% in the first & minutes of the match, reduced by 33% after 8 minutes.
Unique Passive - Devotion
Gold Gained from Single Vision Reveal25-30→20 (removed duration-based income when vision revealed)
Gold Gaining Timingwhen the enemy disappears from vision→when revealing the enemy's position
New Effect: In the first 5 minutes of the game, heroes with Roaming Boots only receive 50% income when clearing minions alone.
Others
After 2 minutes of the game, Roaming Boots can no longer be purchased (switching Roaming Blessing has a 15s protection period).
Dominance Ice
We aim to enhance this equipment's versatility, allowing tank players to choose this equipment against all heroes to reduce enemy healing effectiveness, rather than targeting only Attack Speed based heroes.
Attributes~ Adjusted
Max HP250→0−250
Physical Defense55→40−15
Magic Defense0→40+40
[Unique Passive - Arctic Cold] (Removed)
[Unique Passive - Frost Shield] (New)
For each enemy hero within 5 units, Physical & Magic Defense is increased by 8, up to 40.
Antique Cuirass
After the Dominance Ice revamp, Attack Speed-based heroes have lacked suitable defense equipment to counter. To address this, we've adjusted Antique Cuirass to be more versatile.
Unique Passive - Deter~ Adjusted
Trigger ConditionHit by enemy skills→Hit by enemy skills and Basic Attacks
Physical Damage Reduction Per Stack6%→5%−1%
Dreadnaught Armor
Unique Passive - Deter~ Adjusted
