2.1.40 PATCH NOTES

From the Designers

In this patch, we continue to optimize the experience for Roaming heroes, including some less-used ones and various Roaming Blessings. We hope every Roaming hero can show their unique strengths. Good luck ranking up on the battlefield!

New & Revamped Heroes

Hero Feature: Adaptable cloud warrior with multiple combat styles.

Sora can use his Ultimate to switch between Tank and Assassin styles. After ascending, dealing damage to heroes grants Cloudstep stacks that unlock different Ultimate effects.

Tank Style: Physical Attack converts to Max HP proportionally.

Assassin Style: Converts a portion of Max HP into Physical Attack.

Sora strikes twice, dealing Physical Damage, then lunges forward and follows up with a straight punch.

Tank Style: Cannot move freely during the skill. Stuns the target when lunging forward.

Assassin Style: Can move freely during the skill. Deals 2 additional strikes and extends the range of the lunge.

Sora leaps forward, stops when hitting an enemy hero or reaching max range to deal Physical Damage and slow the enemy.

Tank Style: The leap knocks enemies Airborne and knocks them back to the landing point. Landing at max range also knocks nearby enemies Airborne.

Assassin Style: The leap passes through the enemy hero and deals large AOE Damage and slows the enemies when reaching max range, and can be cast again within a short duration on hit.

When fully stacked, swipe right to ascend into Tank Style. And after a brief delay, deals Physical Damage to all nearby enemies and pulls them in with a spinning vortex.

When fully stacked, swipe left to ascend into Assassin style. Gains a brief bonus Movement Speed and becomes untargetable, then continuously deals Physical Damage to all nearby enemies.

Stormbind (Tank Style Ultimate): Sora leaps and strikes the target area 5 times, stunning enemies. He can move freely during this skill.

Heaven's Wrath (Assassin Style Ultimate): Sora leaps and strikes the target area 15 times. He can move freely during this skill.

Hero Adjustments

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

Heroes with major changes in this patch: Zhuxin (~), Leomord (↑), Angela (~), Lolita (↑), and Zilong (↑).

[Freya] (↑)

Freya's combat effectiveness was relatively weak without her Ultimate. To improve balance while preserving her highlight performance during Ultimate, we've reduced its cooldown.

[Ultimate] (↑)

Cooldown: 54-46s (Starts on cast) >> 34-26s (Starts after cast)

Gain 50% damage reduction while diving down.

Slightly increased the speed when diving down.

[Zhuxin] (~)

Reduced Zhuxin's excessive sustained control capabilities, but increased her damage.

[Passive] (↓)

Mana Regen from Each Crimson Butterfly: 5% >> 3%

Mana Regen Interval: 0.25s >> 0.33s

[Skill 2] (~)

Base Damage: 33-88 (+28% Total Magic Power) >> 45-95 (+30% Total Magic Power) (Magic Power Bonus increased to 60% against minions)

Base Smash Damage: 300-800 >> 200-300 (+10%-15% of the captured target's Max HP) (Can now capture Tigreal and throw him onto Layla, dealing damage to Layla based on Tigreal's Max HP)

Soul Snare Stacking Interval: 0.25s >> 0.33s

New Effect: After successfully knocking enemy heroes airborne, the target cannot be marked with Soul Snare again for 4s. During this time, this skill deals 15%-25% increased damage to that target.

Mana Cost Adjustment: Applying Soul Snare to enemy heroes costs 120-150 Mana >> Activating Skill 2 costs 90 Mana every 0.33s

[Ultimate] (↑)

Soul Snare Stacking Interval: 1s >> 0.5s

[Leomord] (↑)

Leomord's Passive relied on enemies being at low health to be effective, which didn't align with our design expectations. We want Leomord to take the initiative by gaining Oath Keeper energy through combat to deal Crit Damage while recovering HP for sustainability, making him a knight capable of charging into battle.

We've also increased Skill 1's damage against creeps to improve Leomord's jungle clearing efficiency.

To balance this, we've removed the shield granted in skill 1.

[Passive] (Revamped)

Leomord's Basic Attacks and skills gain 25 Oath Keeper energy for each target damaged. When the energy reaches 100, his next Basic Attack deals 200% Crit Damage and recovers 100 (+10*Hero Level) (+15% Extra Max HP) HP.

Leomord's Basic Attacks cannot normally Crit, and every 1% Crit Chance is converted to 1% Crit Damage.

Mounted State: Each Oath Keeper energy gain is increased by 200%.

[Skill 1] (～)

Removed the effect of gaining a shield.

New Effect: Damage against creeps increases to 200%.

[Angela] (~)

Increased the duration of Angela's Ultimate when attached to allies and the cast frequency of Skill 1. Additionally, the cooldown now runs while attached.

To balance, we've reduced the Movement Speed boost of the Passive and increased the cooldown of the Ultimate.

[Passive] (↓)

Movement Speed Boost per Stack: 7.5% >> 5%

[Skill 1] (↑)

Cooldown: 7s >> 8s

New Effect: When attached, this skill's cooldown is reduced by 50%.

[Ultimate] (～)

Cooldown: 20s >> 60s

Attaching State Duration: 12s >> 20s

Shield Duration: 6s >> the shield remains until detached

Adjusted the cooldown mechanics to start immediately after casting the Ultimate.

[Rafaela] (↑)

Increased Rafaela's healing and speed-up effects as a Support.

[Skill 2] (↑)

Magic Bonus on the Additional Healing for Self and the Most Injured Allied Hero: 45% >> 65%

The Movement Speed bonus increases by 1% for every 20 Magic Power >> The Movement Speed bonus increases by 1% for every 10 Magic Power

[Ultimate] (↑)

Cooldown: 42-34s >> 38-30s

[Estes] (↑)

Enhanced Estes's sustained healing and the ability to protect fragile heroes.

[Skill 1] (↑)

Sustained Healing: 250-400 (+ 60% Total Magic Power) >> 360-585 (+ 90% Total Magic Power)

Duration of Hybrid Defense Increase: 3s >> 5s

Mana Cost: 110-210 >> 60-120

[Ultimate] (↑)

Enhanced Moonlight Immersion doubles the Hybrid Defense increase.

Optimized the skill description.

[Lolita] (↑)

Increased the frequency of Lolita's shield in the mid and late game, and increased the damage and slow effect of her Ultimate.

To balance this, we've reduced the shield effect granted to allies.

[Passive] (～)

Removed the effect where the shield is periodically granted to nearby allied heroes. Shield can still be granted to nearby allied heroes when using skills.

Shield Frequency: Every 6s >> Every 6-3s (scales with the Noumenon Blast level)

[Skill 1] (↑)

Cooldown: Fixed at 10s >> 10-8s

Base Damage: 300-550 >> 400-650

[Ultimate] (↑)

Slow Effect: 50% >> 60%

Base Damage: 500-900 >> 600-1200

New Passive: Each level-up reduces the interval of the shield granted by the Noumenon Energy Core by 1s.

[Tigreal] (↑)

Slightly increased the hero's ability to secure kills and Ultimate damage.

[Skill 2] (↑)

Charge Speed: 6 >> 8

[Ultimate] (↑)

Base Damage: 270-430 >> 600-1000

[Johnson] (↑)

Adjusted Johnson's Damage Bonus. Damage dealt directly by his wrench and car form now scales with Physical Defense to improve damage output for defense-build Johnson.

The Sustained Damage dealt by the electrified zones left behind by Skill 2 and the Ultimate's explosion continues to scale with Magic Power.

[Ultimate] (↑)

Explosion Damage Bonus Upon Hitting Enemies: 160%-240% Total Magic Power >> 240%-360% Total Physical Defense

New Effect: Each target can be damaged only once.

[Hayabusa] (↓)

Hayabusa's Skill 2 allowed him to reach the backline too easily. For balance, we've reduced its distance. To compensate, we've also increased his skill cast frequency.

[Skill 2] (↓)

Reduced Hayabusa's and his phantoms' travel distance by 20%.

Cooldown: 20-16s >> 16-14s

[Ultimate] (↑)

Cooldown: 50s >> 40s

[Lylia] (↑)

Due to Lylia's Skill 2 short casting range and Gloom's small area of effect after devouring Shadow Energy, she has struggled in the current meta.

Therefore, we've increased the cast range of her Skills 1 and 2, and increased the area of effect after Gloom devours Shadow Energy.

[Skill 1] (↑)

Cast Range: 7 >> 7.5

[Skill 2] (↑)

Range: 5 >> 5.5

Area of Effect After Gloom Devours Shadow Energy: 5 >> 5.5

[Nana] (~)

Adjusted Nana's skill damage distribution by increasing Skill 1 (damage skill) and decreasing Skill 2 (control skill).

Adjusted Zetian's damage curve and Mana Cost to improve her late-game damage output.

Mana Cost: 70-120 >> 50-75

Aurora was slightly underperforming among Mages. Therefore, we've enhanced her overall ability scaling.

[Skill 2] (↑)

New Effect: Gain 0.06s additional freezing time for every 100 Magic Power.

[Barats] (↑)

The payoff for landing Barats' Ultimate was low, while missing it was too punishing. Therefore, we've made some adjustments to improve this.

[Ultimate] (↑)

New Effect: If the Ultimate misses, its cooldown will be reduced by 50%.

New Effect: If the Ultimate hits, Detona immediately gains max stacks of Big Guy.

Effect Change: 60% cooldown refund when the cast is canceled >> 50% cooldown refund when the cast is canceled

Removed Effect: Detona gains Big Guy stacks upon respawn.

HP Bonus of the Additional Damage: 1.8% Total HP >> 5% Total HP

[Ultimate] (↑)

Cooldown: 17-13s >> 15-12s

[Grock] (↓)

Removed Effect: Gains Control Immunity while casting skills.

New Effect: The skill cannot be interrupted.

[Ultimate] (↑)

New Effect: Gains Control Immunity while charging.

[Gatotkaca] (↓)

[Ultimate] (↑)

[Skill 1] (↓)

Base Damage: 60-120 >> 60-100

No longer deals additional damage to minions and creeps.

[Harith] (↓)

Harith has been crowding out other Marksmen in the Gold Lane. To address this, his mid to late game damage has been reduced, while his survivability has been increased to adjust his power curve.

[Skill 2] (↓)

Enhanced Basic Attack Damage Bonus: 90% Total Physical Attack (+90% Total Magic Power) >> 100% Total Physical Attack (+60% Total Magic Power)

Shield: 120-270 (+100% Total Magic Power) >> 120-270 (+120% Total Magic Power) (up to 3 stacks).

Enhanced Basic Attacks only deal 50-100 and normal Basic Attack damage to Turrets.

Mythic Battlefield

Changed to [Mythical Honor Battlefield]. Mythic Battlefield's exclusive stat adjustments now only take effect after reaching Mythical Honor.

We've noticed that in high-rank matches, more Fighters are taking the Gold Lane, severely limiting the viability of Marksmen. Therefore, we've made Mythic Honor Battlefield adjustments to address this.

Extra Gold: 30% >> 40%

HP: 7300 >> 8200

HP: 7900 >> 9000

Equipment Adjustments

Different types of Roaming heroes have different playstyles, so we've reworked how some Roaming Blessings gain extra Gold and EXP.

As match time increases, Gold from minions and creeps rises, while vision reveals and damage opportunities for roamers decrease in the late game. Therefore, we've adjusted the reward values for Roaming heroes' different actions to balance the Gold income of different Roaming styles.

[All Blessings] (↑)

Gold Gained from Vision Reveal: 30 >> 30 (+ 1*Hero Level)

EXP Gained from Vision Reveal: 30 in first 2 min, 60 after 2 min >> 25 + (5 * Hero Level)

Gold Gained Every 5s After 8 Min: 9 >> 10; EXP Gained Every 5s After 8 Min: 18 >> 20

[Conceal] & [Dire Hit] (~)

No longer gains income from minions and creeps killed by nearby allies.

New Effect: Gain (30 + 2 * Hero Level) Gold and (20 + 8 * Hero Level) EXP after dealing damage to enemy heroes. Cooldown: 15s.

[Encourage] & [Favor] (↓)

Income from Minions and Creeps Killed by Nearby Allies: 40% >> 35%

[Encourage] (~)

Grants nearby allied heroes 20 Hybrid Defense.

[Demon Hunter Sword] (↑)

Enhanced hero's sustainability provided by the three-piece Attack Speed equipment set.

[Attributes] (↓)

Removed 8% Lifesteal.

[Unique Passive - Devour] (Rework)

Basic Attacks grant 2% Lifesteal >> Each Basic Attack recovers (20+4*Hero Level) HP, and counts as an Attack Effect

[Rose Gold Meteor] (~)

Adjusted the equipment scaling to make it easier to reach the max Hybrid Defense from equipment. Removed the dependency on Lifesteal from Basic Attacks to improve flexibility, and slightly reduced Physical Attack for balance.

[Attributes] (↓)

Physical Attack: 40 >> 30

[Unique Passive - Dragon Scale] (↑)

Every 1% Lifesteal increases Hybrid Defense by 1 >> Every 4 extra Physical Attack increases Hybrid Defense by 1

[Unique Passive - Lifeline] (↑)

This effect now requires taking damage from enemy heroes to trigger.

[Queen's Wings] (↑)

Optimized Queen's Wings' Passive - Demonize. This effect now requires taking damage from enemy heroes to trigger.

Battle Spells

[Ice Retribution] (↓)

Slightly reduced Ice Retribution's control and kiting potential.

Movement Speed Stolen: 70 (+ 2 * Hero Level) >> 50 (+ 2 * Hero Level)

[Vengeance] (↓)

We found that some offensive Fighters using Vengeance posed too great a threat to the backline, so we've reduced its damage to the attacker.

Damage: 35% of damage taken (before reduction) >> 25% of damage taken (before reduction)
