2.2.08

Hero Feature: A Marksman who fights alongside Kupa and uses traps to control the battlefield. With this revamp, we aim to address the following issues and improve Popol and Kupa's overall gameplay experience:

1. Popol and Kupa previously lacked mobility and had limited skill combo potential. To address this, we've enhanced their coordinated attacks and enabled Popol to ride Kupa to pursue enemies or retreat.

2. Previously, Popol had to fight without his companion for too long after Kupa was defeated. To address this, we've enhanced Kupa's scaling and HP Regen.

3. We've enhanced the traps' area denial and utility, enabling them to reduce enemies' Physical Defense. We've also increased the maximum number of traps that can be active at the same time.

1. Kupa's HP scales with Popol's level, and it inherits Popol's other attributes and equipment effects.

2. Kupa continuously recovers HP while out of combat. If Kupa falls, Popol can pray to bring Kupa back to the battlefield.

3. Popol and Kupa both gain Attack Speed and Movement Speed when attacking the same target.

4. Kupa deals extra damage to creeps.

1. Popol throws a spear at the target enemy, dealing damage, and commands Kupa to lunge at the target and bite them, greatly slowing them.

2. In Alpha Wolf Form, Kupa strikes the target area, knocking nearby enemies airborne and dealing increased damage.

1. Popol calls Kupa back, immediately removing all control effects from Kupa and gaining a shield.

2. He can then ride Kupa to move rapidly, during which Kupa continuously recovers HP.

3. In Alpha Wolf Form, Popol gains a stronger shield, and Kupa recovers to full HP while mounted.

1. Popol sets a trap at the target location that immobilizes the enemy who steps on it and reduces their Physical Defense. It then explodes and creates a frost zone that slows enemies within.

2. Popol can gain multiple traps and have up to 4 active traps on the battlefield at the same time.

1. Popol and Kupa enter the Enraged state for 9s, further increasing the Attack Speed and Movement Speed granted by their Passive.

2. Kupa immediately recovers to full HP and transforms into Alpha Wolf Form, gaining extra Max HP and enhancing his other skills.

Increased the hero's early-to-mid-game damage.

Volley ShotS1↑ Buffed

Updated Bruno and Kadita's display animations.

Slightly increased the hero's early-to-mid-game damage against high-HP units, and the speed of killing the EXP Crab in the early game.

Yo-Yo BlitzS1↑ Buffed

Hayabusa performed better than expected following last week's buffs, so we've slightly reduced the damage of his Skill 1. We want his gameplay to focus more on combining Skills 1 and 2, with his Ultimate serving as a follow-up. Since his Ultimate alone should not be enough to threaten backline heroes, we've reduced its attack damage.

Ninjutsu: Phantom ShurikenS1↓ Nerfed

Based on the results of last week's adjustments, the current buffs were not enough to address Kalea's performance issues. We've therefore increased the damage of her Skill 3.

Improved Karrie's combat ability during her Ultimate, and adjusted Skill 1 to focus more on slowing enemies and forcing them to reposition in the late game.

Spinning LightwheelS1↓ Nerfed

Speedy LightwheelUlt↑ Buffed

Based on last week's adjustments, Lukas's performance has slightly exceeded our expectations, so we've decided to revert some of the buffs.

Flash ComboS1↑ Buffed

Experience Optimization: Following last week's addition of a fan-shaped hitbox to Skill 1 in Human Form at 0 stacks, we've extended its indicator to better reflect its actual range.

To help Masha sustain herself in mid-to-late game team fights instead of relying on full-burst builds for one-for-one trades, we've adjusted her HP Growth and Ultimate bonus. We've also improved Skill 1's late-game lane clearing efficiency and increased the base damage of her Passive.

Ancient StrengthPassive~ Adjusted

Extra Physical Attack + 0.2 × Hero Level)%

Wild PowerS1↑ Buffed

New Effect: Deals 0%-50% extra damage to minions (scales with skill level).

ThunderclapUlt~ Adjusted

Optimized Skill 1's description.

Fixed an issue where Nana's Skill 2 sometimes dealt abnormal damage.

Reverted some adjustments made from the previous patch.

Hunt of BoneUlt↓ Nerfed

Sun's performance drop was greater than expected, as last week's adjustments affected his non-Roaming roles too heavily. To address this, we've increased his damage and improved his Doppelganger's survivability without enhancing his mobility. Since the Doppelganger now inherits 100% of Sun's attributes, the increased Attack Speed and Physical Attack will naturally improve the HP Regen provided by his Passive. Therefore, we have not made any further adjustments to his Passive's HP Regen.
