Heroes with major changes in this patch: Karrie (↑), Lukas (↑), and Sun (~).
↓NerfMystic GushUlt↓ Nerfed
↑BuffWe've noticed that Hayabusa's pick rate is relatively low. To improve his performance in the jungle, we've increased his Skill 1 damage. However, to maintain balance, we've reduced the damage dealt by his Ultimate when it consumes Shadow Marks to offset this increase.
Ninjutsu: Phantom ShurikenS1↑ BuffedDamage220-280 (+ 75% Extra Physical Attack)→220-320 (+75%-90% Extra Physical Attack)
Ougi: Shadow KillUlt↓ NerfedExtra Damage With Shadow Mark90-150 (+40%-60% Extra Physical Attack)→90-120 (+ 40%-50% Extra Physical Attack)
~AdjustedHylos's previous passive effects were underwhelming, so we've adjusted them to make his growth attributes more consistent.
Thickened BloodPassive~ AdjustedRemoved Effect: Hylos gains 1.5 extra Max HP for every 1 extra Max Mana gained from equipment or emblems.
New Effect: Hylos gains 1 extra Max Mana for every 2.5 Extra HP gained.
↑BuffWe've noticed that Kalea underperforms in the hands of average players but performs strongly for experienced players, while her damage output is lower than that of other Fighter Roamers. To improve her effectiveness for average players, we've increased her damage.
WavebreakerS1↑ BuffedBase Damage200-350→200-450
Cooldown4s→3.5s−0.5s
Tsunami SlamUlt~ AdjustedDamage Bonus80% Physical Attack→6% Max HP
↑BuffOptimized the clarity and trigger mechanics of some of Karrie's skills.
Spinning LightwheelS1~ AdjustedOptimized the sphere's visual effects and collision detection frequency, making it easier for both allies and enemies to tell whether Skill 1 will hit them.
Phantom StepS2↑ BuffedNow detects nearby enemy heroes throughout the dash. If no enemy heroes are detected, it detects creeps and minions at the end of the dash.
↑BuffLukas was slightly weak in the Exp Lane but too strong as a jungler. To make him stronger in the Exp Lane while preserving his jungler playstyle, we've made some adjustments to him.
Attributes↑ Buffed

Unleash the BeastUlt↓ NerfedUnleash the BeastUlt's Resolve RegenUnleash the BeastUlt's Attribute Increase
↑BuffTo improve her weak early-to-mid game performance as a Marksman, we've increased her Attack Speed Growth and allowed Turrets to trigger her Passive to speed up her early-game stacking. We've also changed the Ultimate's on-hit bonus from Attack Speed to a shield to enhance her survivability.
Attribute↑ Buffed
Attack Speed Growth1%→2%+1%
Return to BonePassive↑ BuffedNew Effect: Obsidia also gains 2 Bone Energy when her Basic Attacks hit a Turret.
Hunt of BoneUlt~ AdjustedRemoved Effect: Gains 30% Attack Speed after hitting an enemy.
New Effect: Gains a shield after hitting an enemy.
Shield: 250-550 (+ 35 per Bone Shard)
↑BuffBased on player feedback, we've decided to revert all previous damage reductions to Odette. For balance, some of her mechanic adjustments have been retained.
Swan SongUlt↑ BuffedRemoved the second cast. Can now move freely while the Ultimate is active, but Movement Speed is reduced by 40%.
~AdjustedWe've noticed that the large differences in the value of different equipment builds have led to the rise of an unintended Roam build for Sun. To address this, we've adjusted Sun to reduce the effectiveness of his Roam build without affecting his performance in other lanes.
Simian GodPassive↓ NerfedHP Regen25% of Doppelganger's Physical Attack→12% of Doppelganger's Physical Attack

B. Survival Mode
8Revamped Survival Mode
Two weeks ago, we launched the revamped Survival Mode and received a lot of feedback. Players expressed nostalgia for and appreciation of certain mechanics from the original Survival Mode. Based on your feedback, we have decided to make the following changes:
Brought back the zone mechanic from the original Survival Mode as the Annihilation Tide. As the match progresses, the Annihilation Tide will gradually shrink toward a high-level area. Players inside the Annihilation Tide will take continuous damage.
When only one team remains on the battlefield, an evacuation zone appears beneath a randomly selected surviving hero, allowing all team members to evacuate before time runs out.
Each piece of high-level equipment equipped increases the carrier's size by 10%.
Added a display for the number of surviving players during matches to help players better assess the situation.
Adjusted the downed state to make it closer to the original Survival Mode.
Added a timeline to help players clearly see what will happen next.
Players now directly enter the hero selection screen after successful matchmaking to reduce unnecessary waiting time.
All the above adjustments are now live on the Advanced Server. Give them a try and share your feedback!
