1.9.66

Optimized Skill 1 effect and slightly reduced mid-game damage.

Aerial DominancePassive↓ Nerfed

Anti-Grav ThrusterS1↑ Buffed

New Effect: Immune to Slow Effect while the skill is active.

New Effect: Slows hit targets by 50% for 0.5s.

Last week's energy reduction for Hanzo after activating his Ultimate significantly lowered his strength. If his Skill 2 in Hanekage form misses enemy heroes, Hanzo's ability to pursue targets will be greatly weakened.

However, we believe this adjustment is reasonable as it enhances the enemy's counterplay. Therefore, we will provide compensation in other aspects.

Ninjutsu: Demon FeastS1↑ Buffed

Further increased Hanzo's effectiveness against the Turtle/Lord in Human form during the mid-to-late game.

As a sniper, Lesley should have a longer attack range than other Marksmen, so we want her to be compatible with the "Malefic Gun".

Due to the previous increase in the Crit Chance buff of Windtalker, Lesley can now achieve 100% Crit Chance through Berserker's Fury + Windtalker Fatal talent combination. Therefore, we've removed the Crit Chance bonus from her Ultimate and further increased her Crit Damage instead.

Lethal ShotPassive↑ Buffed

New Effect: Each 1% of Physical Penetration converts to 1% Crit Damage.

Ultimate SnipeUlt↓ Nerfed

Removed the effect of gaining Crit Chance.

We've found that in the current patch, Clint lacks both early-game dominance and late-game damage output.

Therefore, we've enhanced his early-to-mid game laning dominance. We've also reduced his late-game single-shot burst damage but increased his overall damage output over a short period.

Double ShotPassive↑ Buffed

Grenade BombardmentUlt↑ Buffed

As a Mage who serves as a core damage dealer in the late-game, Cecilion's power spike arrived a bit too early. We will be reducing his damage output during the mid-game.

Bat ImpactS1↓ Nerfed

Gatotkaca has shown overwhelming dominance as both an Exp Laner and a Roaming hero. While maintaining his ability to counter heroes relying on Physical damage, we're reducing his mid-to-late game Magic Defense.

Slightly increased early-game Jungling speed and reduced late-game skill downtime.

Piercing StrikeS1↑ Buffed

Energy EruptionUlt↑ Buffed

Reduced Jawhead's skill downtime in the mid-to-late game.

Smart MissilesS1↑ Buffed

We aim to optimize Natan's laning experience. Now, he can follow up with Basic Attacks more quickly after using skills and maintain his passive stacks more easily during extended fights.

Theory of EverythingPassive↑ Buffed

New Effect: Natan's Basic Attack hits will resh the duration of the passive [Entanglement) effect (without changing the number of Passive stacks).

SuperpositionS1↑ Buffed

Removed backswing.

Interference!S2↑ Buffed

Removed backswing.

Currently, Lolita is still a very strong counter pick. We aim to enhance her versatility without changing her overall strength.

Noumenon Energy CorePassive~ Adjusted

Removed the automatic trigger of the Passive Shield effect every 6 seconds.

Noumenon Energy CorePassiveShield triggered by using skills20+2.5% of Total HP + 20% of Magic Power→30 + 5% of Total HP + 40% of Magic Power

Power ChargeS1↑ Buffed

Guardian's ReflectionS2↓ Nerfed

Experimental Adjustments: We want Gord to stack his Passive more through skill hits. To achieve this, we've shortened the cast intervals of Skill 2, and increased the width of the Ultimate's casting range. For balance, we've increased the threshold for triggering 1 stack of the Passive and reduced the Base Damage of Skill 2.

Mystic FavorPassive↓ Nerfed

Mystic ProjectileS1↑ Buffed

Added a targeting indicator.

Mystic InjunctionS2↑ Buffed

Mystic GushUlt↑ Buffed

Mystic GushUltWidth0.6→0.8+0.2

We've optimized the consumption logic of Inspire's Basic Attack enhancement opportunities. Now, the enhancement opportunities decrease correctly based on the actual number of Basic Attacks (for example, the bounce damage of Hanabi's Basic Attack no longer consumes Basic Attack enhancement opportunities).

For balance, we've slightly reduced the number of Basic Attack enhancement opportunities provided by Inspire. Additionally, we've expanded Inspire's effect from ignoring Physical Defense to ignoring Hybrid Defense, in order to better accommodate heroes that rely on Magic Damage.

We've modified this equipment's attributes to make it more suitable for most heroes. (Since Hylos is quite strong in the current patch, we won't provide compensation for him at this time. We'll monitor how this change affects Hylos and consider adjustments in the future if necessary.)
