I. New Hero

New Hero: Dori - Shepherd of Smiles

New

Meet the cheerful troupe floor captain of the Whimsical Wonders, a Nature Spirit born with the ability to sense emotions and a Mage who wields a banner as her weapon.

[Hero Feature]: Dori waves her banner to conjure magic rings of different sizes, protecting her troupe and, above all, everyone's smile.

Passive: Merry Mark

Dori's skills apply a mark to the target. Hitting a marked enemy with a skill again deals extra damage.

Dori gains Movement Speed each time she casts a skill.

Skill 1: Timid Courage

Dori deals damage to nearby enemies, knocks them back, and gains a shield.

Skill 2: Banner Twirl

Dori deals damage to enemies within a ring area and slows them.

Skill 3: Starlit Parade

Dori deals damage and stuns enemies within a ring area.

II. Hero Adjustments

The following skins have been temporarily disabled: Hayabusa "Shura" and X.Borg "Tesla Maniac".

The following uses (↑) (↓) (~) to indicate Buff, Nerf, Adjustment, and Changes.

Heroes with major changes in this patch: Argus (↓), Aulus (↓), and Lukas (~).

Alpha

Buff

Slightly increased Beta's laser damage of Alpha's Passive.

Beta, Advance!Passive↑ Buffed

Laser Damage~~50 (+50% Total Physical Attack) (+ 8* Hero Level)~~→60 (+50% Total Physical Attack) (+8* Hero Level)

Argus

Nerf

Argus was stronger than intended overall. After considering player feedback, we've decided to retain the changes to his mechanics from this update and only fine-tune the scaling of certain values.

To match this update, we've also adjusted Argus's recommended builds.

Since Demonic Slash already strikes twice, it does not benefit from the additional 2x Crit Damage bonus. It can still trigger other critical-hit effects, including those from Berserker's Fury and Windtalker.

WarmongerPassive

Optimized the skill description.

Meteoric SwordS2~ Adjusted

Effect Adjustment: Slightly reduced the stun duration.

Removed Effect: Meteoric Sword cannot Crit.

New Effect: Damage now scales with Crit Chance and Crit Damage at 40% effectiveness.

Atlas

Buff

Reverted some of the nerfs to Atlas's Movement Speed.

Perfect MatchS2↑ Buffed

Movement Speed Boost~~25%~~→30%+5%

Aulus

Nerf

Last week's buffs to Aulus's scaling, crowd control, and HP Regen made him too strong. We're reverting some of these changes this week.

Fighting SpiritPassive↓ Nerfed

Enhanced Basic Attack's HP Regen (Per Hit)~~50 (+ 25% Total Physical Attack)~~→30 (+ 15% Total Physical Attack)

Enhanced Basic Attack's Damage~~175 (+20* Hero Level)~~→115 (+ 15* Hero Level)

Cleaving AxeUlt↓ Nerfed

Removed the slow effect added last week.

Edith

Buff

OnwardS2↑ Buffed

New Effect: Edith can now pass through walls when ejecting herself from Phylax.

Hanzo

Nerf

Tanky Hanzo builds' sustainability and HP Regen still deviated from our intended design. We've slightly reduced his HP Regen from skills.

Ninjutsu: Demon FeastS1↓ Nerfed

HP Regen When Targeting the Turtle, Lord, or Enemy Heroes~~200-500 (+ 80% Total Physical Attack)~~→150-450 (+ 80% Total Physical Attack)

Hirara

Adjusted

We're reverting Hirara's adjustments for now, as we need more time to evaluate the hero's performance.

Kaja

Buff

Slightly increased Kaja's HP Regen.

Ring of OrderS1↑ Buffed

Cooldown7s→5.5s−1.5s

Kaja now gains additional HP Regen equal to 45% of his Total Magic Power.

Kalea

Nerf

After weeks of adjustments, Kalea has become a solid Fighter-Support, but her power was slightly higher than expected, so we've slightly reduced her HP Regen.

Surge of LifePassive↓ Nerfed

HP Regen~~40 (+12% Max HP) (+ 80% Total Magic Power)~~→12% Max HP (+80% Total Magic Power)

Karina

Nerf

Reverted some of the changes to Karina's Enhanced Basic Attack damage made in the previous patch.

Dance of BladesS1↓ Nerfed

Enhanced Basic Attack Damage~~180-330 (+ 65% Total Magic Power)~~→180-330 (+ 60% Total Magic Power)

Lukas

Adjusted

After several weeks of adjustments, Lukas's performance has met our expectations. To further improve his experience across different lanes, we've made a slight adjustment to his Skill 1.

Flash ComboS1~ Adjusted

Pulverize Base Damage~~280-550~~→280-580

Spin Damage~~100-200~~→80-180

HP Regen~~5% of Max HP~~→9% of Max HP

Marcel

Nerf

Marcel's Ultimate has grown slightly too strong due to its interactions with more skills. We've decided to keep its effects but slightly reduce his skill casting frequency.

Framed MomentS1↓ Nerfed

Cooldown~~12.5-10s~~→15-12s

Tracking ShotS2↓ Nerfed

Cooldown~~12.5-10s~~→15-12s

Golden HourUlt↓ Nerfed

Cooldown~~74-62s~~→90-66s

Melissa

Nerf

Muddles, summoned by Melissa's Skill 2, was dealing too much Basic Attack damage, so we've reduced its damage transfer ratio and the rate at which it inherits Attack Effects.

Eyes on You!S2↓ Nerfed

Muddles's Damage Transfer~~60%~~→55%−5%

Attack Effect Inheritance Ratio~~80%~~→55% (now matches the Basic Attack damage transfer ratio)

Paquito

Nerf

To prevent Paquito from snowballing too quickly and zoning enemies out of lane, we've slightly reduced his early-to-mid-game burst damage.

Enhanced Skill 2↓ Nerfed

Base Damage~~350-750~~→300-800

Damage Bonus~~230% Total Physical Attack~~→210% Total Physical Attack

TracelessS1↑ Buffed

Cooldown~~13-10s~~→12-9s

Equipment Adjustments

Thunder Belt

Nerf

We've noticed that some Assassins were benefiting too much from Thunder Belt, so we've added the Assassin role to the item's role restrictions.

Effect Adjustment~~50% Effect for Marksman/Mage~~→50% Effect for Marksman/Mage/Assassin

Battlefield Hero Adjustments

Team Bounty

Gold Deficit Required to Gain Bonus Gold from Enemy Hero Kills~~2,000~~→1,500
