To enable Hanzo to attack the Turtle and Lord with his Ultimate, we've improved his Ultimate's sustainability in the mid-to-late game. New Energy Regen Mechanic in Hanekage Form: He gains a small amount of Energy when attacking a hero, the Turtle, or the Lord.
We have also increased the Max Energy of Hanzo's Ultimate by 10 times, and proportionally increased his current Energy consumption and Energy Regen.

Basic Attacks against heroes, the Turtle, and the Lord grant 45 Energy. Hitting multiple units with a Basic Attack only grants Energy once.
We're glad to see Leomord riding into battle again, but his early-game jungle control was too difficult to counter. Therefore, we've reduced Skill 1's extra damage against creeps.
Phoveus is strong in the early and mid game but struggles in the late game. We have increased his late-game potential.

New Battlefield Effects
Battlefield Effect Test
New battlefield effects are available again! Visuals related to this gameplay are in testing and do not represent final quality. We will continue to optimize gameplay, values, and visuals. We hope you'll try them out and share your feedback with us. We'll keep communicating with you through [Layla's Workshop].
We tested Omni-Sentries and Fire Turtle in the last patch. We expect to roll out the following battlefield effects around 01/04.
Battlefield effect details are as follows:
1- Concealing Mist: Upon death, the Lithowanderer creates a mist instead of spawning a Stone Roamer. This mist drifts from the River to the enemy Jungle, granting vision of a small area. Allied heroes inside the mist become Concealed.
2- Concealment Time: Upon defeating the Turtle or Lord, all heroes gain the Concealment Time for 1 minute. During this period, heroes become Concealed after being out of combat for 5s.
