2.1.20

We will continue optimizing the experience for roaming tank heroes. In previous patches, we

increased the Gold income for roaming heroes. In upcoming patches, we will enhance certain tank heroes' Gold efficiency and optimize their equipment.

New Effect: After successfully knocking enemy heroes airborne, the target cannot be marked with Soul Snare again for 4s.

Roaming Badang has crowded out most control-type tank roamers, so we've reduced his durability and burst damage to address this.

Meanwhile, we've enhanced Skill 1 to compensate for Exp Lane Badang's underperformance.

Experimental Adjustments: Hilda's late-game minion clearing efficiency and durability are low, and she relies on Bushes to trigger her passive effect, leaving her with average performance in the Exp Lane.

We've also optimized the control experience of Basic Attacks after Skill 2, improving passive stacking efficiency and combo smoothness.

To balance this, we've reduced how much the Passive Wilderness Mark reduces Physical & Magic Defense.

When entering a Bush, Hilda enhances her next Basic Attack to deal 160 (+100% Total Physical Attack) (+8* Hero Level) Physical Damage and slow the target by 40% for 3 seconds. Enemies behind the target take 90 (+100% Total Physical Attack) (+6* Hero Level) Physical Damage. After using this enhanced Basic Attack, it enters a 6-second cooldown.

Hilda activates the runic power of her giant axe, increasing her Movement Speed by 60% and gaining a shield equal to 10-20% of her Max HP for 6 seconds.

Reduced the foreswing of Skill 2's third attack by 33%.

Experimental Adjustments: Xavier relied on continuously hitting enemies with Skills 1 and 2 to enhance and enter the Transcendence state for stronger damage output. This doesn't align with our design expectations.

Therefore, we've increased the width of all skills, changed Stage I to a permanent passive, and removed the original Stage I effect, allowing Xavier to enter the Transcendence state more quickly.

To balance this change, we've reduced the Movement Speed boost from skill hits and the

immobilize effect of Skill 2.

When Xavier hits an enemy hero with his skills, he gains 40% Movement Speed that decays over 1.2 seconds. Each enemy hero hit by Xavier's skills generates one Energy charge. Upon reaching three charges, his next skill cast will enter the Transcendence state.

Experimental Adjustments: As a tank-roaming hero, Minotaur's ability to provide healing and buffs to his team far exceeds his own survivability as a tank. We want his combat ability to better match his character. We've revamped the original Enraged Regen effect that enhanced Skill 2 as Minotaur's new passive to improve his durability in combat.

We've also added Slow Effects to the first 2 hits of his Ultimate to improve the hit rate of the final hit's Airborne effect.

For balance, we have reduced Minotaur's ability to provide healing and buffs to allies, though he remains a unique tank with the ability to heal teammates.

Minotaur motivates for 3s after using the skill. When Enraged, the Regen effect is doubled.

[Motivation]: Recover HP equal to 10% of damage taken from enemy heroes (+ 0.5%* Hero Level).

Enraged: Remove previous Enraged effects. Now Minotaur recovers himself and all surrounding allies.

Experimental Adjustments: Atlas's Skill 2 and Ultimate lack clear range indicators in battle for hitting enemies. So we've unified the ranges of his Passive Frigid Breath, Skill 2's stun, and the Ultimate's firstage slow effect to be consistent. Players can now use the visual effect circle of Frigid Breath as a range indicator for other skills, improving overall skill hit rate.

Additionally, the Physical & Magic Defense boost from Atlas's Passive cannot scale with his economic growth, so we've adjusted its numerical structure to scale based on his total HP.

To balance this change, we've slightly reduced the stun duration after Atlas returns to Mecha in Skill 2 and the Passive's frozen effect duration.

Thank you for your patience. We have optimized the controls of Benedetta's Swordout Slash by shortening the detection time for entering the Swordout state when holding the Basic Attack button, allowing Benedetta to enter the state more quickly.

Additionally, after dealing damage 3 times with Basic Attacks or skills, Benedetta's Sword Intent gauge falls slightly short of being full, affecting the controls of her Swordout Slash combos. Therefore, we've increased the amount of Sword Intent gained from dealing damage.

Slightly increased Sword Intent gained after dealing damage with Basic Attacks and skills. Now requires only 3 hits from Basic Attacks or skills to fully charge Blade Intent.

Shortened the detection time for entering the Swordout state when holding the Basic Attack button to improve state transition speed.

Further increased Alice's laning ability.

Slightly reduced Passive's damage.

Optimized the controls of Ultimate to make HP support for allies more timely.

Removed the foreswing.

Increased Chip's Gold efficiency, so that he can withstand more damage in team fights.

Based on ongoing evaluations, some of the previous adjustments have been reverted.

Based on ongoing evaluations, some of the previous adjustments have been reverted.

Equipment Adjustments: Dominance Ice (~), Black Ice Shield (~), Twilight Armor (~), and Guardian Helmet (↑)

For each enemy hero within 5 units, Physical & Magic Defense is increased by 8, up to 40.

[Unique Passive - Arctic Cold] (Removed)

For each enemy hero within 5 units, Physical & Magic Defense is increased by 4, up to 20.

Moved the Attack Speed reduction effect from Dominance Ice to Twilight Armor and removed

Twilight Armor's excess damage reduction effect.

[Unique Passive - Twilight] (Removed)

Renamed to "Twilight"

Taking damage will reduce the Attack Speed of the attacker to 80% of normal for 1s.

Removed in-combat HP Regen effect.

Upon taking more than 500 damage in a single instance, the excess damage beyond that amount is reduced by (20 + 0.2% Max HP)%.

Fixed an issue where the revamped Freya's Skill 1 airborne range was smaller than the indicator.
