Hero Adjustments
From the Designers
We believe that damage-oriented heroes should play the main role of dealing damage on the battlefield, while Tank heroes need more defense. Therefore, we have reduced the value of defensive equipment to balance the value difference with offensive equipment, and increased the growth of defense attributes for Tank heroes, hoping that their adjustments will have a relatively minimal impact.
We also noticed that some heroes were overly reliant on purple Buffs. In this patch, we have reduced the Buff rewards for Mana or Energy usage, as well as the Mana or Energy cost for some heroes.
Finally, we have adjusted some heroes who were too popular in high-Rank or top-level matches and buffed some unpopular heroes.
New & Revamped Heroes
Revamped Heroes: Shadowbringer - Helcurt
Hero Feature: A hunter that strikes from the shadows.
We have kept Helcurt's stinger stacks and sight range reduction as they are his core skills and made optimizations for the revamp.
We also plan to completely redesign his passive to allow him to prepare quickly before being spotted, so he can deal deadly damage the moment he enters the enemy's line of sight.
Helcurt's model and VFXs will also be updated, and we'll be making adjustments to his model and special effects.
Passive - Shadow of Styx
Helcurt remains in Prowler state, gains Movement Speed, and continuously regenerates HP until spotted by the enemy team. He gains extra Movement and Attack Speed briefly upon being spotted. Any enemy hero killed by Helcurt will unleash a dark fog that Conceals Helcurt.
Skill 1 - Hidden Terror
When Helcurt is in Prowler state, the skill terrifies enemy heroes hit and quickly reduces its own cooldown.
Removed the enhanced effects during his Ultimate.
Skill 2 - Deadly Stinger
Gains Deadly Stinger over time while in Prowler state.
No longer slows enemies hit.
Ultimate - Dark Night Falls
Slightly reduced the sight range reduction on the enemy and the effect duration.
Removed the Attack Speed Boost effect.
Hero Adjustments
Heroes that are having major changes include: Chip (↑), Masha (~), Harith (↑), Julian (↑), Ling (↑), Hayabusa (↑), Lolita (↑), Jawhead (~), Lunox (↑), Joy (↓).
Chip (↑)
Chip's mechanics are unique, and the difficulty of mastering him exceeded our expectations. Some of his skills also lacked a satisfying experience. As a result, we have optimized the following aspects to help Chip players have a better experience when playing solo.
Increased base Defense to match the adjustments to defensive equipment.
Attributes (↑)
Physical Defense Growth: 4.2 >> 7.2
Magic Defense Growth: 2.5 >> 4
Passive (↑)
HP Regen: 300 +15% of Lost HP >> 300+45% of Lost HP
Skill 1 (↑)
Hovercraft Ramming Damage: 150-300 +5% of target's Max HP >> 180-330 +6% of target's Max HP
Reduced the foreswing of enhanced basic attacks by 50%.
Skill 2 (↑)
Cooldown: 15-10s >> 13-10s
Ultimate (↓)
Cooldown: 60-50s >> 70-50s
Special Skill (↑)
Cooldown: 40s >> 20s (unaffected by CD Reduction)
Others Removed Chip's Camera Overlay Feature
When teammates approach the Connecting Portal placed by Chip, a camera overlay will appear on the screen. This feature has some issues and may cause lag for the player in certain situations. Therefore, we have decided to temporarily remove this feature from his skill set (including Ultimate and Special Skill). We will optimize this feature and bring it back in a future update.
Masha (~)
We're happy to see Masha getting more usage after the previous adjustments. We've also found that she's too weak in the early and mid game. Masha is forced to play defensively against most other heroes on the EXP lane until level 4, and then relies on hero kills to grow enough to take down the enemy's squishy heroes in the late game. To remedy this, we want to try to increase her laning potential for a more streamlined early and mid game, while slightly nerfing her late game burst potential.
Skill 1 (~)
Passive Base Damage: Physical Damage equal to 1-2% >> 2% of Max HP
Active Base Damage: Physical Damage equal to 3-6% >> 2-4% of Max HP
Active Damage Bonus: 3% Extra Physical Attack >> 2% Extra Physical Attack
Ultimate (~)
Base Damage: 200-500 >> 400-600
Damage Bonus: 200% of Total Physical Attack >> 220% Extra Physical Attack
Harith (↑)
Significantly improved the smoothness of his skill combos, while slightly reducing his damage for balance.
Skill 1 (↑)
Reduced the foreswing time of Skill 1 by 40%.
Base Damage: 236-376 +84% of Total Magic Power >> 224-344 +80% of Total Magic Power
Explosion Damage: 590-940 +210% of Total Magic Power >> 560-860 +200% of Total Magic Power
Skill 2 (~)
Harith's shield is now generated before the dash, but no longer receives an increased shield value based on the number of nearby enemy heroes.
Ling (↑)
Ling is weak in the early and mid game and can't get instant kills in the late game, so we adjusted the damage ratio of his skills and his Basic Attack, which hopefully will help him deal more damage in the early game but reduce his sustained damage in the late game. Now, Ling needs offensive and Crit equipment more, and given his Attack Speed is less rewarding, so we have reset his recommended builds.
Also reduced the Energy Cost of some skills to match the purple Buff adjustment.
Attributes (↓)
Attack Speed: 80% >> 40%
Passive (↑)
Crit Chance Gained: 1.5 Times >> 1.6 Times
Skill 1 (↑)
Crit Chance Provided: 2.5%-10% >> 2.5%-12.5%
Skill 2 (↑)
Damage: 250-350 +33% Total Physical Attack >> 300-400 +50% Total Physical Attack
Energy Cost: 40 >> 35
Using this skill on the wall doesn't cost Energy.
Skill 2's normal version and the version used from walls now share a cooldown.
Removed Effect: Recovers HP upon hitting enemies.
Removed Effect: Crit Damage slows enemies more when he cast the skill on the wall.
Julian (↑)
We want to speed up Julian's jungling and combat before Lv.3, while allowing him to be more flexible with his Basic Attacks between skills and reducing the damage of his enhanced Basic Attacks in the late game.
Passive (↑)
Casting the enhanced skill makes his Basic Attacks deal more damage for 5s >> Casting any skills enhances his Basic Attacks for 2s, the effect duration can stack.
Enhanced Basic Attack's Magic Power Bonus: 120% >> 100%
Hayabusa (↑)
We removed the Ultimate's Energy cost to match the purple Buff adjustments. We also improved Hayabusa's skill combo experience and his Jungling speed in the early game; now his Energy no longer limits the casting of his Ultimate, and he can also cast Retribution during his Ultimate to deal enough damage or attack the Lord or Turtle.
Skill 1 (↑)
Base Damage: 190-260 >> 200-260
Ultimate (↑)
Energy Cost: 15 >> 0
Retribution can now be used while casting Ultimate.
Saber (~)
Currently, the distance that Skill 2 moves is a bit too far, which makes it difficult and awkward to follow up with an enhanced Basic Attack. So we want to improve that and make it more fluent.
We're going to reduce the distance traveled with Skill 2 while balancing this nerf with other changes.
Skill 2 (~)
Dash Distance: 4 Units >> 3 Units
Enhanced Basic Attack Distance: 1.8 >> 2.5
Cooldown: 12s >> 7s
Improved the visuals of enhanced Basic Attacks.
Ultimate (↑)
Range: 4.9 >> 5.5
Lolita (↑)
Lolita's passive shield took too long to stack and was not very useful in fast-paced battles. We improved the passive effects to match her other skills.
Increased base Defense to match the adjustments to defensive equipment.
Attributes (↑)
Physical Defense Growth: 3.7 >> 6.7
Magic Defense Growth: 2.5 >> 4
Passive (↑)
New Effect: Now Lolita grants herself and nearby allies 1 extra stack of shield after casting skills.
Shield of Each Stack: 50 +10* Hero Level >> 80 +16* Hero Level +60% of Total Magic Power
Max Shield Stacks: 6 >> 3
Passive Trigger Interval: 2.5s >> 5s
Skill 1 (↑)
Mana Cost: 70-120 >> 70-95
Skill 2 (~)
Cooldown: 17.5-15s >> 15-12.5s
Shield Base Value: 1500-3000 >> 1000-2000
Jawhead (~)
Jawhead is currently active in Exp Lane, Jungle, and Roaming, and his passive only benefits himself. Considering that Jawhead's Basic Attack is a large part of his overall damage, we want to improve Jawhead's ability to help the team without affecting his overall damage.
Passive (~)
Effect of Each Stack of Mecha Suppression: Increases the amount of Basic Attack damage Jawhead deals to the target by 8% >> Increases the amount of all damage dealt to the target by 1% (applies to allies)
Skill 2 (~)
Shield: 250-600 +180% of Total Physical Attack >> 375-1000 +100% of Total Physical Attack
Gloo (↑)
Gloo has been on the bench for quite some time. While he shines in the early and mid game, Gloo struggles to deal with back line enemies in the late game (generally, Gloo has to pull their carry back to his allies to have a chance). So we want to increase Gloo's ability to kill enemies solo and survive in the team fights.
Increased base Defense to match the adjustments to defensive equipment.
Attributes (↑)
Physical Defense Growth: 4.2 >> 7.2
Magic Defense Growth: 2.5 >> 4
Skill 1 (↑)
Effect Change: Touching the Goo restores 3% of Max HP to Gloo >> Touching the Goo restores 6% of Max HP to Gloo if it explodes and hits an enemy hero
Mana Cost: 40-60 >> 25-50
Ultimate (↑)
Damage when Attached: 120 +50% of Total Magic Power >> 30-90 +50% of Total Magic Power +3% of Total HP

Mana Cost: 65-90 >> 35-60
Natan (~)
Reduced the Mana Cost of some skills and simplified the cooldown mechanism of Natan's Ultimate.
Skill 1 (↑)
Mana Cost: 65-95 >> 50-75
Skill 2 (↑)
Mana Cost: 80-120 >> 60-85
Ultimate (↓)
Ending the Ultimate early no longer refunds part of the cooldown, instead ending the Ultimate puts it on cooldown.
Cooldown: 34-26s >> 24-16s
Karrie (↓)
Karrie has been on a hot streak. We want to nerf her mobility to make her less competitive.
Skill 2 (↓)
Cooldown: 4.5-2.5s >> 4.5-3.5s
Ultimate (~)
Fixed an issue where the second lightwheel of each Basic Attack was not affected by Attack Speed.
Ratio of Basic Attack Damage and Basic Attack Special Effect from each Lightwheel: 50%-70% >> 50%-66%
Minotaur (↓)
Minotaur needs to cool down a bit after his recent overpowering performance.
Increased base Defense to match the adjustments to defensive equipment.
Attributes (↑)
Physical Defense Growth: 4 >> 5.5
Skill 2 (↓)
Basic Regen: 260-360 +100% of Total Magic Power >> 220 -320+60% of Total Magic Power
HP Regen of Enraged state: Recovers HP equal to 200% of Basic Attack Damage taken >> Recovers HP equal to 100% of Basic Attack(by enemy heroes) Damage taken
Ultimate (↓)
First 2 Smashes' Slow Effect: 70% >> 40%
Mathilda (↓)
When Mathilda casts her Ultimate and flies around enemy heroes, she can retreat or attack at any time, making it difficult for enemies to counter. We want to keep her offensive ability while making her harder to use.
Skill 2 (↓)
Base Shield: 500-1000 >> 350-800
Ultimate (↓)
Cooldown: 40s >> 65s
New Effect: Hitting an enemy hero during her Ultimate's 2nd-stage sprint reduces the skill's cooldown by 40%.
Joy (↓)
Joy can cast her Ultimate after getting enough Beat Energy, and the control immunity makes it difficult for enemy heroes to counter it. We want to remove the control immunity, making Joy players to be more cautious when entering a fight. Her Ultimate damage will also be increased for balance.
Ultimate (↓)
Gains Control Immunity >> Slow Immunity
New Effect: The damage doesn't decrease now.
Damage Per Hit: 135-235 +50% of Total Magic Power >> 120-200 +40% of Total Magic Damage
Lunox (↑)
Lunox's passive now gives her great Magic Penetration, but also leaves her without Spell Vamp. We want to make the attribute conversation less extreme, and also increase her early game damage and the mobility of her Ultimate in Order form.
Reduced the Mana Cost of some skills to match the purple Buff adjustment.
Passive (~)
Conversion Ratio Between Magic Penetration and Spell Vamp: 100% >> 50%
Skill 1 - Power of Order (↑)

Damage: 200-400 +80% Magic Power >> 350-600 +140% Magic Power

We believe that damage-oriented heroes should play the main role of dealing damage on the battlefield, while Tank heroes need more defense.

Bug Fixes
Removed the Basic Attack button's feature to switch targets by tapping in different directions.
Fixed an issue where the Closest Target in Controls wouldn't take effect on skills.
Fixed the incorrect skill filter ranges during smart casting:
a. Fixed an issue where some target-locking skills couldn't pursue enemies, e.g. Eudora's Ultimate.
b. Fixed an issue where some AOE skills couldn't correctly filter the furthest enemy, e.g. Pharsa's Ultimate.
c. Fixed an issue where some AOE skills' filter ranges were too long, e.g. Ixia's Skill 1.
d. Fixed an issue where some target-locking skills' pursue ranges were too long, e.g. Lunox's Skill 1.
Fixed an issue where the Sky Piercer could be triggered by damage that wasn't dealt to heroes.
Fixed an issue where the actual duration of Lunox's Ultimate (Order) was different than what was stated.
Fixed an issue where the area affected by Belerick's Ultimate didn't match its effect.
Fixed an issue where the Spell Vamp ratios of Lunox's Cosmic Fission and her Ultimate (Chaos) differed from the descriptions.

Fighter - Brave Smite (↓): Now takes effect when the hero deals skill damage to the enemy hero. Dealing skill damage recovers 4% >> 5% of Max HP.
Assassin - Killing Spree (~): Now killing an enemy hero will instantly recover 10% of Max HP >>15% Lost HP.

Battlefield Adjustments
Creeps
Thunder Fenrir (↓)
Some heroes need to rely less on purple Buffs, so we reduced the Buff effects and the Mana or Energy Cost for some heroes.
Creep Reward
Mana Cost: 60% >> 40%
Energy Cost: 25% >> 20%
Scavenger Crabs
Our goal: "Much easier, much more fun"!
In the previous patch, to increase the strategic significance of Scavenger Crabs, we lowered the difficulty of killing them, increased their drop rewards, and changed the way to get the drop reward. After that, we received a lot of feedback suggesting that having to pick up the drops after killing them greatly affects the laning pace, so we made adjustments accordingly. Now, you will get the full reward immediately after killing a Scavenger Crab, but remember: getting that last hit is more important!
Lane Assignments
We adjusted some default lanes for heroes to match actual lane selection in Ranked matches, but we also noticed some specific lane selections made by top-level players. We'll keep an eye on the data and consider making more adjustments in the future.
Controls: Close Pursuit
Increased the pursuit distance of this feature. Melee heroes: 0.7 >> 1.1; Ranged heroes: 0.5 >> 0.8.
Other
Optimized the performance when heroes use invincibility skills.
Added exclusive equipment Resonating Heart for Carmilla, which cancels Broken Heart's ban on Moonlit Waltz once purchased.
Adjusted the categorization of special equipment for throw interactions (Allow Throw, Throw Forbidden, Broken Heart, and Resonating Heart). Now you can find them in Equipment - Movement.
Optimized the blocking mechanism. It's now much less likely to get stuck.
Improved some heroes' default Battle Setup.
Optimized the Basic Attack Precision Lock-on setting by adding a "Lock Target" option. When this option is enabled and you drag to aim your Basic Attack, subsequent skills and Basic Attacks will be prioritized on the locked target.

Game Modes
Magic Chess v446.1
From the Designers
Welcome to the new Season, Blessings Return!
In the previous patch, we received a lot of feedback from players about the Magic Crystals' randomization mechanism. We realized that this rule was too complicated, so we optimized it for this patch: Now, at least one of the random Magic Crystals will be related to your highest Synergy.
Blessings Return is a season with a lot of adjustments. We are bringing back the Blessing system, as well as introducing a new Dawn Commander, a new Synergy, and a new hero!
We have brought back the popular Blessing system to enhance your gameplay experience.
When you star up a hero, you have a chance to increase each of their Synergies by 1, giving them a Physical Attack and Magic Power boost.
Now, it's easier to get double 6-Synergy. Have fun with that!
New Dawn Commander, Zilong arrives! This new Commander has only one skill. Instead of making three skills, we want to make only one skill for him to show its depth and surprise in performance. Let's get into the Chessboard with the Great Dragon Spear!
New Synergy, Inferno Fiend is available with 4 new heroes and lots of adjustments. Check them out in the match!
For more details, please check the full Magic Chess patch notes.
Season Settlement
Dear Player, Magic Chess S16 "Magic Crystal: Runes" will end on 04/26/2024 at 00:00:00 server time. You'll receive rewards based on your rank.
The matching system will be closed for two hours for the reward settlement, and after that, on 04/26/2024 at 02:00:00 (server time), a new season - S17 "Blessings Return" will officially begin.
Pass & Theme Draw Update
The new Magic Chess Pass is just around the corner, featuring Angela's new theme skin, a beach-themed chessboard, and more!
The Magic Chess Theme Draw Astro Playroom is about to start! It's time to fight in space itself!
Magic Chess Theme Draw, Wings of the Lightborn, will return from 05/22/2024 at 00:00:00 (Server Time) for a limited time. Take this chance to get Dawn Commander skin, Fanny "Lightborn - Ranger", and Exclusive Chessboard: Cloud Sanctuary.
With the new Pass, we've temporarily removed the Pass Point boost that comes with spending Diamonds.
Recommended Lineup Update
We have also updated the strategy content included in each recommended lineup, such as hero positioning, Magic Crystal selection, and Rune recommendations, to match the current patch's gameplay.
To improve the experience of using recommended lineups in the match, we have added additional prompts, such as whether the heroes on the Chessboard are part of the current recommended lineup, positioning suggestions for heroes in the lineup when they are deployed, and Rune selection advice. We hope you find these helpful!
You can access the recommended lineup page by tapping the bottom-right button on the Main Interface or the lineup button on the top-right during matches. Go ahead and give it a try!
Brawl v264.1
In this patch, we added a new skill for Turrets to prevent the advantaged side from making an early push, and greatly increased the attack growth of minions so that fewer matches end up being too long. We've also made some balance changes based on current hero performance.
Since the Roam Blessing significantly reduces the amount of Gold and Exp earned in the first 8 minutes, which is not compatible with the fast pace of Brawl, we have temporarily disabled the Roam Blessing in Brawl matches.

Vexana (↓) DMG Taken +20% >> Cooldown +10%
