HEROES


 

BAPTISTE

BAD MOJO (A)

  • Projectile Speed
    • 14.0 → 17.0
  • Range is now increased from 7 → 8 on Overdrive

Even with the hotfix, the Demon Queen is still proving to be too powerful for other heroes to handle. We’re hitting some of her solo damage as well as decreasing the power spike that she gains when she has four Living Blades out.

ISHTAR

DEMONIC DECREE (PERK)

  • Basic Attack Crystal Power Ratio
    • 40% → 35%
  • NEW: Crystal Power Ratio on Living Blade’s Basic Attack
    • 40% → 30%
  • NEW: Same Target Damage Scaling
    • 50% → 25%

SHADOW RAZOR (A)

  • NEW: Same Target Damage Scaling
    • 50% → 25%

BLADE WHIRL (B)

  • NEW: Same Target Damage Scaling
    • 50% → 25%

ASCENSION (C)

    • 70s / 60s / 50s → 85s / 75s / 65s
  • Basic Attack Crystal Power Ratio
    • 25% (x2) → 20% (x2)
  • Basic Attack Weapon Power Ratio
    • 60% (x2) → 55% (x2)
  • Bonus Vampirism
    • 10% / 15% / 20% → 5% / 10% / 15%

 


JOULE

HEAVY PLATING (PERK)

    • 35% → 30%

KINETIC

TRACER SHOTS (PERK)

  • Tracer Shot Stack Duration
    • 7.0s → 8.0s
  • Weapon Power Damage Ratio
    • 6.25% → 7.0%

PLASMA DRIVER (A)

  • Energy Cost
    • 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 → 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 35

These changes focus on improving Koshka’s skirmish hit-and-run playstyle and make it easier for her to jump into a group of enemies without taking too much damage.

KOSHKA

BLOODRUSH (PERK)

  • Speed Boost Duration
    • 2s → 2.5s

TWIRLY DEATH (B)

  • Barrier Duration
    • 1s → 2s
  • Barrier Generated Per Hero Hit
    • 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 95 → 25 / 45 / 65 / 85 / 125

LANCE

PARTISAN’S TECHNIQUE (PERK)

  • Stamina regen per second
    • 20 → 25

Leo’s still proving to be a menace. We’re reverting his base stats back to bruiser territory while also lowering the damage on his Lion’s Might – Jet Cyclone so now he has to choose between high crowd control or damage.

LEO

STATS

  • Armor Base and Scaling
    • 35 -100 → 30 – 85
  • Shield Base and Scaling
    • 25 – 75 → 20 – 60 

LION’S MIGHT – JET CYCLONE (C)

  • Weapon Power Damage Ratio
    • 350% → 150%

LION’S MIGHT – CRUSHING STRIKE (C)

  • Damage Amplification
    • 15% / 15% / 15% → 10% / 15% / 20%

A big limiting factor for Phinn is running out of energy in team fights. We’re lowering the cost of his abilities as well as boosting his base energy so that he won’t feel as pressured to build energy items early on.

PHINN

STATS

  • Base Maximum Energy
    • 220 → 270
  • Maximum Energy Per Level
    • 20 → 25

QUIBBLE (A)

  • Energy Cost
    • 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 → 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60

FORCED ACCORD (C)

  • Energy Cost
    • 100 / 100 / 100 → 60 / 60 / 60

The movement speed increase to heroes has not been kind to Reim. We’re speeding up the travel time of his Winter Spire as well as a few small buffs to make him a more competitive pick.

REIM

FROSTGUARD (PERK)

  • Fortified Life Duration
    • 2s → 2.5s
  • Fortified Life Generation vs Heroes
    • 10% → 15%

WINTER SPIRE (A)

  • Travel Time Reduced
    • 0.8s → 0.5s

VALKYRIE (C)

  • Center Crystal Power Ratio
    • 160% → 180%
  • Edge Crystal Power Ratio
    • 80% → 90%

REZA

SCORCHER (A)

  • Crystal Power Damage Ratio
    • 40% → 50%

NETHERFORM DETONATOR (C)

  • Fortified Life Gain
    • 0 / 0 / 0 → 50 / 100 / 150

Warhawk’s long range basic attack and relative safety has made him incredibly powerful in the laning phase. We’re lowering his unavoidable damage as well as making his abilities be less available to trigger his perk. 

WARHAWK

MK-II ANNABELLE (PERK)

  • Base Damage
    • 10 + 10 per hero level → 5 + 5 per hero level
  • Crystal Power Damage Ratio
    • 100% → 70%

ROCKET RIDE (A)

  • Cooldown 
    • 10s / 9.5s / 9.0s / 8.5s / 7.0s → 12s / 11.5s / 11s / 10.5s / 9s

VACUUM GRENADE (B)

  • Cooldown 
    • 16s / 15s / 14s / 13s / 11s → 20s / 19s / 18s / 17s / 15s

ITEMS


Spellfire has become too integral to any end game mage build since it offers so much damage, and the mortal wounds become an afterthought. We’re trying to push it back towards being a situational pick if you need to counter healing as opposed to a ‘must-buy’.

SPELLFIRE

  • DoT Crystal Power Ratio
    • 90% → 50%
  • Total Cost
    • 3000 → 2700

TALENTS


Miho’s Shunpo talent offers far too much mobility for the amount of damage that it deals. We’re decreasing the damage even when the talent is maxed as the trade off.

MIHO

SHUNPO (LEGENDARY)

  • Damage Modifier
    • 100% + 10% per level → 50% + 10% per level
