  • Oct 18, 2019

 

 Vainglory Update 4.8 is coming to with a fresh round of tweaks to some of your favorite heroes. While some of the changes are small, they should all be impactful and help to up your game! We’ve included notes with some of the changes to help you understand our reasoning. Check out the balance changes coming for Update 4.8 below!

 

HEROES

 

ADAGIO

GIFT OF FIRE (A)

  • Burst Heal Health Ratio
    • 9% → 10%

ARDAN

VANGUARD (A)

  • Barrier Health Ratio
    • 30% → 35%

GAUNTLET (C)

  • Cooldown
    • 120 / 110 / 100 → 120 / 105 / 90

CAINE

TRIPLE TAP (A)

  • Slow Strength
    • 25% / 30% / 35% / 40% / 50% → 30% / 35% / 40% / 45% / 60%

CHURNWALKER

STATS

  • Base Movement Speed
    • 3.5 → 3.7

Celeste is having difficulty finding her footing after the last nerfs. We still want to solidify her role as a zoning mage, so we are going to bump up the damage on her primary tools.

CELESTE

HELIOGENESIS (A)

  • Impact Damage
    • 60 / 105 / 150 / 195 / 240 → 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260
  • Supernova Damage
    • 80 / 140 / 200 / 260 / 320 → 80 / 145 / 210 / 275 / 340

SOLAR STORM (A)

  • Lead Star Crystal Ratio
    • 80% → 90%
  • Trailing Star Crystal Ratio
    • 15% → 20%

Flicker has not seen much play in the past few patches. We’re hoping that these changes bring him more in line with the other Captains and allows him to sneak around the map more easily.

FLICKER

WILLOW WHISPER (PERK)

  • Movement Speed Bonus
    • 1.5 → 2.0

FAIRY DUST (B)

  • Slow Strength
    • 35% / 40% / 45% / 50% / 60% → 40% / 45% / 50% / 55% / 65%

MOONCLOAK (C)

  • Cooldown
    • 120 / 100 / 80 → 110 / 90 / 70

Ishtar is still proving to be a powerful force to be reckoned with. We are adjusting the cooldown on her Shadow Razor since it is her primary ability but also giving a greater incentive to overdrive her Blade Whirl by decreasing the damage at early levels.

ISHTAR

SHADOW RAZOR (A)

  • Cooldown
    • 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 / 7 → 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 9

BLADE WHIRL (B)

  • Damage
    • 60 / 105 / 150 / 195 / 240 → 45 / 90 / 135 / 180 / 270 

LANCE

GYTHIAN WALL (B)

  • Stun Duration
    • 0.6s / 0.7s / 0.8s / 0.9s / 1.2s
  • Max Stun Duration
    • 1.4s → 1.6s

LYRA

PRINCIPLE ARCANUM (PERK)

  • Heavy Attack Slow Health Ratio
    • 0.04% → 0.05%

IMPERIAL SIGIL (A)

  • Heal Over Time Health Ratio
    • 11% → 13%

PHINN

QUIBBLE (A)

  • Slow / Stun Duration
    • 0.9s → 1.1s

YLVA

CHARGE SHOT (A)

  • Bonus Damage Adjusted
    • 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 → 60 / 120 / 180 / 240 / 360

 

Thats all the changes coming in 4.8 ! Keep your eyes peeled for the 4.8 Update notes coming soon!

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%

  • Basic Attack Weapon Power Ratio
    • 60% (x2) → 55% (x2)
  • Bonus Vampirism
    • 10% / 15% / 20% → 5% / 10% / 15%

 

JOULE

HEAVY PLATING (PERK)

  • Frontal Damage Reduction
    • 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

ISHTAR: THE ANCIENT EVIL

After thousands of years locked away, Ishtar emerges, an ancient evil here to destroy the enemy…much to her delight. Ishtar summons her Blades at will,  and manipulates them to do her bidding.  This blade wielding battle mage uses her basic attacks, and those of her Blades to dominate the battlefield, leaving only destruction in her wake. Unleash the ancient power within when the update drops!

 

HERO ABILITIES

 

 

DEMONIC DECREE (PERK)

Ishtar’s basic attacks deal crystal damage and scale with her overall crystal power.

If Ishtar performs a basic attack in the presence of a Blade, it will also perform a basic attack dealing bonus CP damage.

 SHADOW RAZOR (A)

Ishtar fires a Blade in a straight line that travels toward the target location, dealing damage to all enemies that it passes through. All existing nearby Blades are commanded to dash towards the target location.

 

BLADE WHIRL (B)

Passive: Gains attack speed per level.

Active: Ishtar and all of her Blades perform a spinning slash, dealing damage in an area around them and slowing enemies hit. Landing Blade Whirl gives Ishtar a movement speed boost.

 

ASCENSION (Ultimate)

Ishtar destroys all existing Blades before creating four new ones near her. Afterwards she becomes empowered, gaining a new basic attack as well as additional lifesteal and movement speed.

 

TALENTS

INDOMITABLE (Rare)

Ishtar gains a stack of Indomitable on each hero kill or assist and loses one on death. Each stack grants bonus armor, shield and vampirism. (up to 10 stacks.)

 

PINNED AND NEEDLES (Epic)

Ishtar’s Blade Whirl (B) now will root targets and deal increased damage.

 

RELENTLESS (Legendary)

Every time a Blade is summoned, Ishtar gains additional attack speed for 10 seconds (up to 20 stacks).

 

 

SKINS

 

‘ONI’ KENSEI (LEGENDARY)

Stepping out of your nightmares and onto the Rise, Oni Kensei joins the fight. Whether this fearsome ogre god is here to protect or destroy, he can be all yours for purchase at launch!

 

‘GENIE’ FLICKER (EPIC)

Your wish is his command! Our favorite Bleeko’s has a magical new look with this fun and colorful skin. Just a rub of the lantern and, poof!  Genie Flicker  will be available for purchase in the local souq when the update drops!

 

‘ORCHID’ ISHTAR (RARE)

There cannot be dark without a little light, even for the demon blade herself. Both beautiful and terrifying all at once, Orchid Ishtar is in full bloom in 4.6 and yours for direct purchase at launch. Don’t miss it!

 

 

FEATURE UPDATES

NEW BLITZ MINI MODE – BLITZ: RELOADED!

 

The fast paced and frenzied havoc of Vainglory’s Blitz Mode has been a long time favorite, and while our Brawl modes are a shorter format than standard matches, we’re kicking it up a notch. Introducing Blitz: Reloaded (beta)!

Blitz: Reloaded still holds the main objective of being the first team to reach 15 points, but in this revamped version, you’ll have faster out-of-combat regen, shorter cooldowns, higher starting levels and more. There’s even an extra shop by each team’s second turret to save a little time. Why, you ask? Because time is of the essence in new mini mode Blitz: Reloaded, which ends in two minutes instead of five! That’s right, two minutes of all out fun is headed your way! This new fun mode will be in beta during update 4.6 while we gather your feedback and polish it up. So brush up on your Brawl skills and get ready for the ultimate turbo takedowns with Blitz: Reloaded in update 4.6!

UPDATE 4.6 Hero & Item Balance Changes

  • Aug 16, 2019

 

 Vainglory Update 4.6 is coming to you with a little something for everyone in changes to  heroes, items and talents. We’ve included notes with some of the changes to help you understand the logic behind the changes. Check out the balance changes coming for Update 4.6 below!

 

5V5 META

The Vain Crystal defenses were meant to discourage  backdooring the enemy base, but were so powerful that they sometimes dissuaded meaningful pushes unless the team had blackclaw or all team members present. We’re lowering the damage a bit so that it becomes a bit easier to close out games.

 

VAIN CRYSTAL

HALCYON MISSILES

  • Max Health Damage 
    • 7.5% → 4% per shot
  • Slow Strength
    • 75% → 60%

HEROES

 

We’re giving a helping hand to captain Adagio and a small boost to his carry path as well with this little change.

ADAGIO

AGENT OF WRATH (B)

  • Empowered Attacks Granted
    • 4 / 4 / 4 / 4 / 6 → 6 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 8

The last round of changes heavily nerfed Anka’s killing potential to the point where she couldn’t really assassinate her targets. We’re restoring some of the damage to her Dance of Blades so she can still strike fear into the hearts of carries.

ANKA

SHIMMER BLADES (A)

  • The ability icon after landing Shimmer Blade on a target is now green for easier visibility.

DANCE OF BLADES (B)

  • Multi-hit Damage Reduction
    • 33% → 50%
  • Crystal Power Damage Ratio
    • 50% → 45%

A small change to make Baron less energy starved at early levels and make it easier for players to go towards his CP path.

BARON

GENERAL

  • Base Energy
    • 270 → 320

PORCUPINE MORTAR

  • Energy Cost Decreased
    • 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 → 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 

BLACKFEATHER

ROSE OFFENSIVE (C)

  • Focus Cost
    • 60 / 40 / 20 → 45 / 30 / 15

Late game Catherine with cooldown items became an unkillable front line for the team. This should make her shield a little more manageable to take down while giving a different incentive to overdrive it.

CATHERINE

STORMGUARD (B)

  • Shield Duration 
    • 4s / 4s / 4s / 4s / 5s → 4s / 4s / 4s / 4s / 4s
  • Damage Reflection Amplification
    • 0% / 5% / 10% / 15% / 25% → 0% / 5% / 10% / 15% / 30%

We’re highlighting Celeste’s role as an awesome zoning mage so we’re upping the reward for landing her supernovas. 

CELESTE

HELIOGENESIS (A)

  • Nova Damage Crystal Power Ratio
    • 160% → 175%

FORTRESS

Truth of the Tooth (A)

  • Allied Speed Boost Range
    • 12.0 → 14.0

GRUMPJAW

LIVING ARMOR (PERK)

  • Damage Reduction Per Stack
    • 7% → 8%

A small quality of life change to help Idris keep up with the global movement speed changes.

IDRIS

CHAKRAM (B)

  • Projectile Speed
    • 17.0 → 19.0

Joule proved to be a bit too strong after the recent batch of changes so we’re reverting the damage buff from before. We still want her to maintain her identity as an incredibly durable fighter but we’re toning her damage back down.

JOULE

Thunder Strike (B)

  • Weapon Power Damage Ratio
    • 220% → 200%

Leo is still proving to be too strong so we went ahead and lowered the damage on Crushing Strike even further.

LEO

CRUSHING STRIKE (A)

  • Weapon Power Damage Ratio
    • 300% → 280%
  • Base Damage
    • 90 / 180 / 270 / 360 / 540 → 80 / 160 / 240 / 320 / 480

Miho’s damage against Unguarded targets made her monstrously powerful in the late game. These changes should curb that slightly while also giving her more incentive to use her Shingetsu outside of just applying stacks of Keen Eye.

MIHO

KEEN EYE (PERK)

  • Damage amplification against Unguarded targets
    • 20% → 15%

SHINGETSU (B)

  • Weapon Power Damage Ratio
    • 30% → 45%
  • Crystal Power Damage Ratio
    • 70% → 90%

TSUKUYOMI (C)

  • Cooldown Increased
    • 60 / 50 / 40 → 80 / 70 / 60

OZO

CARNIE LUCK (PERK)

  • Healing Amplification
    • 10% – 25% → 15% – 30% (Levels 1-12)

Petal has been out of the meta for a while, so we’re giving her some time in the sun. This change is geared towards making her a more utility oriented carry and making it easier to keep her munions alive at all times.

PETAL

GENERAL

  • Petal’s Munions can no longer be marked with Miho’s Keen Eye

BRAMBLEBOOM SEEDS (A)

  • Pet Health Crystal Power Ratio
    • 65% → 70%
  • Pet Defense Crystal Power Ratio
    • 5% → 10%
  • Energy Cost
    • 60 → 40 

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION (C)

  • Heal Crystal Power Ratio
    • 60% → 75%

We’re leaning into Phinn’s role as the captain you want to huddle around for safety by increasing the amount of fortified life that he provides.

PHINN

POLITE COMPANY (B)

  • Fortified Health Scaling
    • 4% → 5% of Phinn’s bonus health
    • 15% → 18% of Phinn’s bonus armor and shield

Rona is a berserker that has a hard time… well, berserking. We’re making it so that Red Mist now is unstoppable and making it so that the correct play is to run away when you see her angry.

RONA

RED MIST (C)

  • Cooldown Increased
    • 6s → 10s at all ranks 
  • Rona is now immune from movement impairing effects while spinning
  • Self Slow Increased
    • 10% → 15%
  • Fortified Life Per Second Decreased
    • 100 / 200 / 300 → 50 / 100 / 150

Tiger’s Bridge into Divine Fist combo was nearly guaranteed, making his laning phase very powerful. This should make his combo more unreliable at lower levels as well as make players choose which overdrive they want to take first.

SAN FENG

TIGER’S BRIDGE (A)

  • Stun Duration
    • 1.2s / 1.2s / 1.2s / 1.2s / 1.2s → 0.8s / 0.9s / 1.0s / 1.1s / 1.2s

SAW is receiving some small quality of life changes that should make playing him feel smoother overall.

SAW

SPIN UP (PERK)

  • Movement speed reduction per stack
    • 0.12 → 0.10

SUPPRESSING FIRE (B)

  • Ability can now be canceled by pressing the (B) button again

MAD CANNON (C)

  • Crystal Power Damage Ratio
    • 140% → 150%

SILVERNAIL

CAUSTIC BLESSING (B)

  • No longer deals reduced damage to minions

This change fixes a bug that was being abused that stopped heroes from walking towards Tony if they hit recall. 

TONY

TRASH TALK (B)

  • Bug fix – Players can no longer use recall while taunted

 

ITEMS

BOOTS

 

Boots have become an item that too frequently saves people from bad positioning, both during team fights and in the laning phase. We’re hitting the sprint active on the following boots.

 

SPRINT BOOTS

  • Sprint Speed Boost
    • 3.0 → 2.0
  • Sprint Duration
    • 3s → 2s

 

TRAVEL BOOTS

  • Sprint Speed Boost
    • 3.0 → 2.0
  • Sprint Duration
    • 3s → 2s

 

JOURNEY BOOTS

  • Sprint Speed Boost
    • 3.0 → 2.0
  • Sprint Duration
    • 3s → 2s
  • Cooldown Reset
    • 15s → 30s

 

PIERCING

 

Armor piercing has been too strong on weapon items and tension bow specifically, which makes building armor feel less rewarding. We’re decreasing the overall pierce that the weapon tree has while also making Bonesaw a much better option in longer engagements. 

 

TENSION BOW

  • Armor Pierce Decreased
    • 45% → 30%

 

BONESAW

  • Armor Pierce Decreased
    • 30% → 20%
  • Max Stacks Increased

MIHO: THE SWIFT SWORD

Meet Miho, a fleet footed hyper carry with a razor sharp sword! Miho is a master of duels who zips around the battlefield picking off enemies. With careful use of her Keen Eye perk, enemies are Unguarded and all of her damage is amplified for a short period of time enabling her to quickly take them out. Follow the way of the sword with Miho when the update drops!

 

HERO ABILITIES

 

 

KEEN EYE (PERK)

Instead of energy, Miho uses Focus for her abilities. Miho’s abilities apply Keen Eye stacks to enemy heroes. Once her stacks are applied, Miho’s next basic attack or Reizan causes them to become Unguarded, stunning and damaging enemies and granting Miho a barrier.

 

REIZAN (A)

Miho teleports, dealing damage to all enemies that she passes through and around the area that she appears. 

Overdrive: This ability is refreshed whenever any enemy becomes Unguarded.

 

SHINGETSU (B)

Miho performs a quick, long range slash that deals damage to all enemies in a line. This ability can be recast immediately until she is out of Focus.

NOTE: To cancel Shingetsu , use the red C ability button (shown below).

 

TSUKUYOMI (Ultimate)

After a brief channel, Miho fires a crescent wave of energy from her blade that deals damage to every target that it passes through. Tsukuyomi will also destroy  enemy projectiles that it passes through and applies Keen Eye stacks to every enemy it hits.

 

TALENTS

DEATH BLOW (Rare)

Enemies can no longer become Unguarded but the burst of damage is much greater.

ECLIPSE (Epic)

Tsukuyomi heals allies it passes through and deals increased damage.

SHUNPO (Legendary)

Reizan now can store three charges and deals significantly more damage.

 

SKINS

 

‘POSEIDON’ LANCE (LEGENDARY)

Rising from the watery depths of the deep blue sea, Poseidon Lance makes his way on to The Rise in a tidal wave of glory. The King of the Sea will be at your service and available for purchase at launch!

 

‘WU XING FOREST’ KESTREL (EPIC)

From the quiet peace of the Greenwood, everyone’s favorite archer emerges with a lush new skin. Wu Xing Forest Kestrel  will be available for purchase when the update drops!

 

‘TWILIGHT’ MIHO (RARE)

She’s fast, fierce and flawless. As the day closes and gives way to night, Twilight Miho comes out to play.  Yours for direct purchase at launch,  don’t let the sun set on your chance to get this magical Miho skin!

UPDATE 4.5 Hero & Item Balance Changes

  • Vainglory
  • |
  • Jul 12, 2019

 

 Vainglory Update 4.5 comes with some new tweaks to help your gameplay shine this Summer along with some notes to help you understand the why’s. Check out the balance changes coming for Update 4.5 below!

HEROES

When it comes to choosing her engages, Anka had a little too much freedom in team fights. These changes will dial back that window and make it a bit harder for her to straight up assassinate a full health target.

ANKA

GYTHIAN PROMISE (PERK)

  • Missing Health Damage
    • 19% + 1% per hero level → 20% at all levels

SHIMMER BLADE (A)

  • Blink Available Duration
    • 3.0s → 2.5s

DANCE OF BLADES (B)

  • Multi-hit Damage Reduction
    • 50% → 33%

Blackfeather hasn’t seen a lot of success in recent days. These changes should help him get into back the fight and stay there assuming that he is, uhhhh ‘On Point’ about landing his B Ability.

BLACKFEATHER

FEINT OF HEART (A)

  • Base Damage
    • 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 → 60 / 105 / 150 / 195 / 240

ON POINT (B)

  • Barrier Strength
    • 125 / 175 / 225 / 275 / 325 → 125 / 200 / 275 / 350 / 425

Caine is still a touch too strong. With that in mind, these changes should curb Caine’s lane harassment and make it harder for him to execute targets in the late game.

CAINE

TRIPLE TAP (A)

  • Slow Strength
    • 30% / 35% / 40% / 45% / 65% → 25% / 30% / 35% / 40% / 50%

LAST RITES (C)

  • Explosion Damage
    • 225 / 300 / 375 → 125 / 200 / 275
  • Execution Threshold
    • 15% / 20% / 25% → 15% / 17.5% / 20%

Celeste traditionally had one of the lowest cooldowns and highest damage output of any mage in the game. Now she’ll have to be a little more mindful about her Heliogenesis placement, so play smart!

CELESTE

HELIOGENESIS (A)

  • Cooldown
    • 2.8s / 2.4s / 2.0s / 1.6s / 1.2s → 2.8s / 2.6s / 2.4s / 2.2s / 1.8s
  • Star Duration
    • 8s → 10s

SOLAR STORM (C)

  • Lead Star Crystal Ratio
    • 100% → 80%
  • Trailing Star Crystal Ratio
    • 20% → 15%

The disparity between the damage Joule sustains on the back versus the front was massive, so we gave her a bit of a bump to her base stats. We also turned her Thunder Strike into weapon damage so she can take advantage of piercing & Breaking Point a bit better.

JOULE

STATS

  • Armor (Levels 1 – 12)
    • 25 – 75 → 35 – 100
  • Shield (Levels 1 – 12)
    • 20 – 55 → 25 – 75 

THUNDER STRIKE

  • Base damage is now weapon instead of crystal
  • Weapon Power Ratio
    • 200% → 220%

Kestrel hasn’t been as much of a favorite these days when compared to other carries. These changes should strengthen her weapon path and grant her a little more safety in teamfights.

KESTREL

GLIMMER SHOT (A)

  • Basic Attack Weapon Ratio
    • 105% / 110% / 115% / 120% / 125% → 110% / 115% / 120% / 125% / 135% 

ACTIVE CAMO (B)

  • Base Stealth Duration
    • 1.0s → 1.2s

KRUL

Despite the changes last patch, Krul still just isn’t as scary as he needs to be, so we’re strengthening his early game a bit and making it easier for him to stalk his foes in the jungle. 

SHADOWS EMPOWER ME (PERK)

  • Brush Charge Time
    • 1.0s → 0.7s

SPECTRAL SMITE (B)

  • Damage Per Stack
    • 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 90 → 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 / 100
  • Heal Per Stack
    • 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 40 → 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 50

LEO

Leo’s buffs from the last patch, though well intended,  were causing him to do a liiiiiitttle too much damage when combined with the empowerment from Lion’s Might. These changes should make him much more reasonable, leveling out his burst, especially when it comes to the late game.

CRUSHING STRIKE (A)

  • Weapon Ratio
    • 320% → 300%

LION’S MIGHT (C)

  • Empowerment Bonus
    • 10% / 25% / 40% → 15% at all levels
  • Lion’s Might: Crushing Strike Bleed Weapon Ratio
    • 100% → 50%
  • Lion’s Might: Crushing Strike Bleed Duration
    • 4s → 3s

MALENE

A lot of Malene’s damage comes from her basic attacks which are essentially unavoidable, so we decided to shift some of that power into other parts of her kit for the greater good.

MASKED BALL (PERK)

  • Basic Attack Crystal Power Ratio
    • 60% → 50%

LIGHT RIBBONS (A1)

  • Crystal Power Ratio
    • 100% → 110%

SHADOW TENDRILS (A2)

  • Crystal Power Ratio
    • 60% → 65%

ENCHANTED TRANSFORMATION (C)

  • Dark Form Empowerment Crystal Power Ratio
    • 80% → 50%
  • Dark Form Empowerment Base Damage
    • 40 / 80 / 120 / 160 → 30 / 60 / 90 / 120

SAMUEL

Samuel has been one of the top mages for a little while now. We like to keep things interesting and fresh around here, so this should bring him more in line with other mid laners.

MALICE AND VERDICT (A)

  • Crystal Ratio
    • 100% → 90%
  • Empowered Crystal Ratio
    • 110% → 100%

SILVERNAIL

Silvernail has fallen out of favor in the carry lineup, so we wanted to bump him back up a bit. This should give the grizzled hunter a needed boost to his crossbow.

DOUBLE SHOT (PERK)

  • Base Reload Time
    • 4.5s → 4.0

SKAARF

The general movement speed changes have made it a little difficult for Skaarf to find his place in the meta. These changes should help him land his core ability a little easier.

SPITFIRE (A)

  • Projectile Speed
    • 12.5 → 14.5
  • Crystal Power Ratio
    • 90% → 110%

GOOP (B)

  • Unignited Slow Strength
    • 30% → 40%
  • Ignited Slow Strength
    • 15% → 20%

TAKA

Triple Tyrants Monocle + Tension Bow Taka has been running amok at higher tiers. His House Kamuha perk was giving a lot of bonus damage to players who decided to stack crit and gave him the ability to outduel just about anyone. This should take him back down a notch and make things more reasonable.

HOUSE KAMUHA (PERK)

  • Damage from Mortal Strikes can no longer crit
  • Movement Speed Bonus
    • 2.0 → 1.7

VOX

Crystal Vox’s resonance bounces during the laning phase makes it a little too easy to harass the enemy laner and translates into massive AoE damage during team fights. This will tone down his crystal path a bit while redistributing some of his power into weapon builds.

JULIA’S SONG (PERK)

  • Resonance Crystal Ratio
    • 85% → 70%

SONIC ZOOM (A)

  • Basic Attack Damage on Overdrive
    • 50% → 70%

WARHAWK

Warhawk’s bravado just wasn’t enough to stand up to the villains in the last patch so we’re giving him a helping hand. This should make it easier for him to land an empowered basic attack after Rocket Ride as well as giving his ultimate more distinctive usage depending on his build path.

MK-II ANNABELLE (PERK)

  • Basic Attack Range Bonus
    • 2.0 → 4.0

ROCKET RIDE (A)

  • Cooldown
    • 12s / 11.5s / 11s / 10.5s / 9s → 10s / 9.5s / 9s / 8.5s / 7s
  • Energy Cost
    • 45 / 55 / 65 / 75 / 85 → 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50
  • Base Damage
    • 75 / 125 / 175 / 225 / 325 → 95 / 145 / 195 / 245 / 345
  • Crystal Ratio
    • 110% → 125%

VACUUM GRENADE (B)

  • Energy Cost
    • 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 → 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60
  • Stun Duration
    • 0.3s → 0.5s
  • Overdrive Stun Bonus
    • 0.6s → 1.0s

MIGHTIEST BARRAGE (C)

  • Weapon Ratio on Impact
    • 80% → 200%
  • Crystal Ratio on Impact
    • 100% → 70%
  • Crystal Ratio on Burn
    • 70% → 100%
  • Slow Strength
    • 15% / 25% / 35% → 25% / 35% / 45%
  • Burn Damage Per Second
    • 140 + 60 per level → 180 + 60 per level

 

 

ITEMS

CELESTIAL SHROUD

We’re giving Celestial Shroud an easier build path that also helps players by letting them hold onto a reflex block during the mid game. The item’s final state is still passive, but now you have a block while you’re building!

  • Now builds from Reflex Block + Kinetic Shield
  • New stats
    • +300 Health
    • +95 Shield

REFLEX BLOCK

The cooldown for Reflex Block was too high, making it difficult to have it available enough during important teamfights.

  • Active cooldown
    • 120s → 90s

AEGIS

  • Active cooldown
    • 60s → 45s

 

Thats all the changes coming in 4.5 ! Keep your eyes open for the 4.5 Update notes coming soon!

THE MIGHTY WARHAWK

Warhawk is a mighty mobile mage that uses his Rocket Launcher to deal damage and maneuver deftly around the battlefield. He excels at controlling large areas using  his Vacuum Grenade and Mightiest Barrage and can easily get himself out of trouble if enemies don’t CC him down. Get ready to zone the enemy and rule the map with this tiny but mighty Bleekos badboy.

 

HERO ABILITIES

MK-II ANNABELLE (PERK)

After casting an ability, Warhawk’s next basic attack has increased range and deals bonus CP damage.

ROCKET RIDE (A)

Warhawk fires a rocket that deals damage in a small AoE on impact. The blast from the gun is so powerful that the kickback sends Warhawk backwards at the same time.

VACUUM GRENADE (B)

Warhawk throws a grenade to a target location. Upon reactivation (or when it times out), it will detonate and pull enemy heroes towards the center, stunning those caught in the blast.

 

MIGHTIEST BARRAGE (Ultimate)

Warhawk takes aim and selects up to three locations before firing a missile to each marked spot, dealing damage on impact and scorching the ground. Enemy heroes standing in scorched areas take damage over time and are slowed.

TALENTS

 

HEALING BOMB (Rare)

Vacuum Grenade now also provides a substantial heal to allies in the blast radius.

 

ROCKETEER (Epic)

Rocket Ride’s knockback is greatly increased and deals increased damage.

SUPER MEGA BARRAGE (Legendary)

Mightiest Barrage can now target five locations. The impact damage is decreased but the burn is drastically increased.

UPDATE 4.4 Hero & Item Balance Changes

  • Vainglory
  • |
  • Jun 15, 2019

 

Just in time for Summer, Vainglory Update 4.4 brings some needed tune-up’s and tone-down’s (Caine *cough, cough*) with it to help you kick off the season right. Check out the balance changes coming for Update 4.4 below!

HEROES

While this may look like a small change, it has a big impact on Alpha’s overall power. Stay at max stacks to see a big jump in overall damage.

ALPHA

CORE CHARGE

  • Max Core Overload Stacks
    • 3 → 4

 

As players became accustomed to Caine’s playstyle, his win rate started to climb dramatically. We’ve adjusted his power level to be more reasonable and his Once More should be a lot less available for players who don’t invest in cooldown.

CAINE

PEACEMAKER (PERK)

  • Bonus Basic Attack Damage
    • 115% → 110%
  • Reloading Speed Boost
    • 2.0 → 1.3

TRIPLE TAP (A)

  • Weapon Ratio
    • 125% → 115%
  • Range
    • 9.5 → 8.0

ONCE MORE (B)

  • Cooldown Reduction on Basic Attack
    • 1.5s → 1.0s

 

Catherine’s shield tends to be come down very quickly as games progress, especially in 5v5. These changes should make it a little easier for her to stay in the fight and get stacks safely in the early game.

CATHERINE

STATS

  • Base Armor
    • 30 → 35
  • Armor Per Level
    • 5 → 5.91
  • Shield Per Level
    • 3.6 → 4.6

MERCILESS PURSUIT (A)

  • Cooldown
    • 16/15/14/13/12 → 14/13/12/11/10

STORMGUARD (B)

  • Cooldown
    • 8.0 / 7.5 / 7.0 / 6.5 / 6.0 → 10 / 9.5 / 9.0 / 8.5 / 8.0
  • Base Duration
    • 3s → 4s
  • Shield Duration Reduction Per Proc
    • 0.4s → 0.2s

 

Inara’s team movement speed boost gave her amazing utility in coordinated play but felt lacking everywhere else. These changes give her abilities more significant overdrive incentives and allow players to choose to lean more heavily into damage or utility.

INARA

DANCE OF LEAVES

  • Damage
    • 80/140/200/260/320 → 80/140/200/260/480

BANISHING KICK

  • Damage
    • 60/90/120/150/180 → 60/120/180/240/360

NATURE’S WRATH

  • Move Speed Duration
    • 10 → 7/8/9

 

Krul has been struggling for the last few updates, so we wanted to show him some love. This change should help him get to max stacks faster,  where he is most effective.

KRUL

FROM HELL’S HEART

  • Now applies 2/3/4 stacks of Weakness based on level

 

Some players seem to have been struggling with Leo during his debut due to his his low defensive stats and telegraphed abilities. These changes are targeted towards making him last a little longer in fights while also making his abilities feel more rewarding to hit.

LEO

STATS

  • Base Health
    • 702 → 830
  • Health Per Level
    • 148 → 160
  • Base Armor
    • 30 → 35
  • Base Shield
    • 20 → 25
  • Shield Per Level
    • 3.6 → 4.6
  • Base Weapon Power
    • 80 → 95
  • Weapon Power Per Level
    • 8.0 → 9.0

CRUSHING STRIKE (A)

  • Damage Overdrive Bonus
    • 90/160/230/300/370 → 90/180/270/360/540
  • Weapon Ratio
    • 280% → 320%

LION’S FURY (C)

  • Base Damage
    • 200 / 300 / 400 → 250 / 375 / 500

 

Just a little quality-of-life change that helps Munions keep up with Petal when she uses trampoline or gets a speed boost!

PETAL

MUNIONS

  • Movement Speed
    • 5.0 → 6.0

 

As hero movement speed increased, Rona struggled to stick to her enemies while in the middle of her Whirlwind. This should make it a little easier for her to chase.

RONA

WHIRLWIND

  • Self Slow
    • 20% → 10%
  • Fortified Life Gain
    • 100 / 150 / 200 → 100 / 200 / 300

 

ITEMS

Atlas Pauldron was a niche item that specifically stopped attack speed carries that didn’t rely on their abilities. This created unclear gameplay as it was much more effective against heroes like Ringo while being fairly useless against heroes like Caine or Joule. With these changes Atlas Pauldron should be a solid purchase for any Captain when facing against a weapon power threat.

ATLAS PAULDRON

  • Attack Speed Debuff
    • 65% → 50%
  • Debuff now also reduces outgoing weapon damage by 30%

 

 

Thats all the changes coming in 4.4 ! Keep your eyes open for the 4.4 Update notes coming soon!

XI. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

THE PROPERTIES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUPER EVIL DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHICH MIGHT APPLY TO THE PROPERTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE, AND ANY WARRANTIES AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR QUALITY OF ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE PROPERTIES. SUPER EVIL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PROPERTIES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE PROPERTIES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELECTING THE PROPERTIES TO ACHIEVE YOUR INTENDED RESULTS, AND FOR THE INSTALLATION OF, USE OF, AND RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE PROPERTIES.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, the forgoing disclaimer may, in whole or in part, not apply to you.

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SUPER EVIL FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES AND COSTS (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE OR RESULT FROM YOUR USE OR MISUSE OF THE PROPERTIES, OR ANY VIOLATION BY YOU OF ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. Super Evil reserves the right, at its own expense and in its sole and absolute discretion, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with Super Evil in asserting any available defenses.

XIII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL Super Evil BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOOD WILL, OR LOST PROFITS), OR ANY DAMAGES FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES) ARISING FROM YOUR USE OR MISUSE OF THE PROPERTIES, EVEN IF Super Evil KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL Super Evil BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF ANY AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO Super Evil FOR GAME-RELATED TRANSACTIONS, IF ANY, DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE TIME YOUR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the liability of Super Evil shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

XIV. EQUITABLE REMEDIES

You hereby acknowledge and agree that Super Evil would suffer irreparable harm if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Consequently, in addition to such monetary and other relief as may be recoverable at law, you agree that Super Evil shall be entitled to specific performance or other injunctive relief, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, as remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Additionally, in the event any legal or administrative action or proceeding is brought by either party in connection with this Agreement and consistent with Section XV below, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party all the costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party as the result of the action or proceeding.

XV. NEGOTIATIONS, BINDING ARBITRATION AND GOVERNING LAW

A. Negotiations. Disputes can be expensive and time consuming for both parties. In an effort to accelerate resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute or claim related to this Agreement (“Claim”), you and Super Evil agree to first attempt to informally negotiate any Claim for at least thirty (30) days (except those Claims expressly excluded in Section XV.F below). Super Evil will send its notice to the address it has on file to the extent that you have provided additional contact information to Super Evil (e.g. by participating in a promotion or survey, or contacting a customer services representative). Otherwise, Super Evil will send its notice to the email address associated with your Account. You will send your notice to Super Evil Mega Corp 400 1st Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401, Attn: Legal Department. Please note that this informal resolution procedure does not suspend any statutory limitation periods applicable to the bringing of a Claim.

B. Binding Arbitration. If the parties fail to resolve a Claim through negotiations, within such thirty (30)-day period, either you or Super Evil may elect to have the Claim (except as otherwise provided in Section XV.F) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”) that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and under the terms set forth in this Agreement. Both the AAA Rules and the AAA Consumer Rules can be found at the AAA website, www.adr.org. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section XV.B and either the AAA Rules or the AAA Consumer Rules, the terms in this Section XV.B will control and prevail.

Except as otherwise set forth in Section XV.F, you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and Super Evil will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) you and Super Evil may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision is final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.

BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND Super Evil ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

C. Arbitration Fees. If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim, we will pay all costs charged by the AAA Rules for initiating the arbitration. Your share of all other fees and costs of the arbitration, including your share of arbitrator compensation, will be charged pursuant to the AAA Rules, and where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. Where your share of the costs is deemed to be excessive by the arbitrator, Super Evil will pay all arbitration fees and expenses.

D. Location. The arbitration will take place in your hometown area if you so notify Super Evil in your notice of arbitration or within ten (10) days following receipt of Super Evil’ arbitration notice. In the absence of a notice to conduct the arbitration in your hometown area, the arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, California, unless the parties agree to video, phone and/or internet connection appearances. Any Claim not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction in San Mateo, California, United States of America, and you and Super Evil agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

E. Limitations. You and Super Evil agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between Super Evil and you individually. YOU AND Super Evil AGREE THAT (A) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (C) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER.

F. Exceptions to Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Super Evil agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Claims seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Super Evil’ intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such courts’ jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.

G. Governing Law. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the United States of America and the law of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Other laws may apply if you choose to access the Game from outside of the United States. In such an event, those local laws shall affect this Agreement only to the extent necessary in that jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be interpreted to give maximum effect to the terms and conditions in this Agreement. You are responsible for compliance with all local laws if and to the extent local laws are applicable. The New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act of 1993 (the “Act”) may apply to the Game if you access the Game from, and are a resident of, New Zealand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Act applies then you may have other rights or remedies as set out in the Act which may apply in addition to or instead of those set out in this Agreement.

H. Severability. You and Super Evil agree that if any portion this Section XV is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section XV.F), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section XV.F is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Super Evil will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section XV.F found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and you and Super Evil agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

XVI. TERMINATION

This Agreement (and all subsequent modifications, if any) shall remain effective until terminated. Both you and Super Evil may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or for no reason. Termination by Super Evil will be effective upon notice to you, termination or deletion of your Account, or its decision to permanently discontinue offering and/or supporting the Game, which it may do at any time in its sole discretion. You may terminate this Agreement at any time simply by not using the Site or the Game. If, however, you wish to terminate your Account, you must affirmatively do so by notifying Super Evil at support@superevilmegacorp.com as stated above. Upon termination of this Agreement, your right to use the Properties shall immediately cease.

XVII. MISCELLANEOUS

A. Assignment. Super Evil may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign the Agreement without Super Evil’s prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment by you shall be null and void.

F. No Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Super Evil as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Site or the Game.

G. No Waiver. Super Evil’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by Super Evil of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.

H. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices given by you or required under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to: Super Evil Mega Corp at 400 1st Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401.

I. Reform and Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If, however, it is determined that such provision cannot be reformed, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

J. Section Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or have any other legal effect.

K. Survival. The provisions of Sections IV, VI.A, IX, XI-XV, and XVII shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

III. INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE PRACTICES

A. What Basic Information Does Super Evil Collect?

We typically collect personal information that you provide to us on a voluntary basis, and you may visit areas on the Site without choosing to do so. However, in order to use certain parts of the Site and/or log-on to play the Game, you will be required to create an account by providing us your email address and selecting a unique username and password (an “Account”). In the course of maintaining your Account, you might also be asked to participate in online surveys about the Game, or in other Game-related promotional contests, participation in which is entirely voluntary. You might also desire to contact our customer support team via the “Support” tab found on the Site. In participating in such promotional activities or in contacting customer support, you might be requested to provide additional information beyond your email address, including your name, full address and phone number. In operating the Site or otherwise offering the Game, we might also request other information from you, including hardware specs, software performance metrics, game experience, and other demographic information that might be associated with your personal information, such as your gender, hobbies, occupation, platform preferences, and other game ownership information.

When you download and use our Services, we automatically collect information on the type of operating system, device you use.

We send you push notifications from time-to-time in order to update you about any events or promotions that we may be running. If you no longer wish to receive these types of communications, you may turn them off at the device level. To ensure you receive proper notifications, we will need to collect certain information about your device such as operating system and user identification information.

We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our Mobile Software on your phone. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personally identifiable information you submit within the mobile application.

Please note that in utilizing certain areas of the Site (e.g. purchasing merchandise) or the Game (e.g. purchasing in-game currency), you will be requested to provide additional information in order to complete a purchase, such as your name, full address, phone number, internet protocol address (for fraud tracking purposes) and Our shopping cart is hosted by our e-commerce solutions provider.
