In this patch, we aim to balance creep-clearing speeds across Junglers to reduce significant disparities
Due to Airborne now being affected by the new Resilience's effect, we will make adjustments to heroes whose combo relies on Airborne to minimize the impact, while providing other compensatory buffs to heroes whose core feature is Airborne but doesn't affect their combo.
↑BuffIncreased her damage in the mid and late game.
Phoenix StrikeS1↑ Buffed
Phoenix DescentS2↑ BuffedReduced Mana Cost and optimized Skill 2 casting experience.

Removed the backswing.
Fury of the PhoenixUlt↑ BuffedOptimized X.Borg's team fight performance in mid and late game and increased the effectiveness of his perfect Ultimate.
Fury of the PhoenixUlt↑ BuffedNew Effect: Firaga Supplies touched during Ultimate will not be absorbed. When Ultimate ends, all nearby Firaga Supplies will be absorbed immediately.
Slightly reduced Lukas's early game mobility and Ultimate cast frequency.
Celestial ArmamentPassive↓ NerfedPhoenix DescentS2↓ NerfedFury of the PhoenixUlt↑ BuffedHayabusa's combo reward is disproportionately high compared to its difficulty, making him an almost insurmountable threat to back-row heroes in high-rank matches. His marks should test the player's skill more while offering greater rewards.
Celestial ArmamentPassive↓ NerfedHayabusa can now only apply one stack of Shadow Mark each time.
Fury of the PhoenixUlt~ AdjustedPhoenix StrikeS1↑ BuffedPhoenix DescentS2↑ BuffedPaquito's cooldowns in the late game felt too long when his skills missed, so we've reduced his late-game skill cooldowns accordingly.
Phoenix StrikeS1↑ BuffedPhoenix DescentS2↑ BuffedFury of the PhoenixUlt↑ BuffedAfter dealing damage 3 times with Basic Attacks or skills, Benedetta's Sword Intent gauge falls slightly short of being full, affecting the feel of her Enhanced Basic Attack combos. Therefore, we've increased the amount of Sword Intent gained from dealing damage.
Celestial ArmamentPassive↑ BuffedSlightly increased Sword Intent gained after dealing damage with Basic Attacks and skills. Now requires only 3 hits from Basic Attacks or skills to fully charge Blade Intent.
Yu Zhong's HP recovery from his Passive was inefficient due to his flight path in the current patch.
We've optimized his flight path and speed to improve his HP recovery efficiency.
Celestial ArmamentPassive↑ BuffedOptimized the efficiency of lost HP recovery.
Fury of the PhoenixUlt↑ BuffedNew Effect: Increases Max HP while recovering an equal amount of HP.
Reverted the Base Damage increase of Ultimate.
After last week's optimization, Gord's Skill 1 performance exceeded our expectations, so we're reverting some of the changes.
Phoenix StrikeS1↓ NerfedReverted the decrease of foreswing time.
Due to the new Resilience's effect affecting Airborne, enemies can escape more easily after being knocked airborne. We're adding a Slow Effect to compensate for this change.
[Ultimate] (1)
New Effect: Slows hit targets by 40% for 1.5s.
The new Resilience's effect has affected Vale's combo of Skill 2 into Ultimate. We'll compensate by increasing the Airborne Duration of his Skill 2.
Phoenix DescentS2↑ BuffedThe new Resilience's effect on Airborne has impacted Khufra's combo (Skill 1 into Ultimate). To compensate, we've reduced the backswing of his Skill 1.
Phoenix StrikeS1↑ BuffedReduced the backswing time by 60% when hitting heroes.
As Atlas's core mechanic relies on Airborne, he has been impacted by the new Resilience's effect. To compensate, we're improving his Passive's trigger speed.

Fury of the PhoenixUlt↓ NerfedThe 2025 New Battlefield Effects are here! We've upgraded the visual effects and made other adjustments: adding a cooldown to the Free Roaming devices and significantly expanding the current's coverage in Rushing Torrent. We'll continue to optimize both visual effects and gaming experience.
Due to special testing requirements, this feature will only be available to selected players.
The battlefield effect rules are as follows:
The battlefield effect is now available in both Classic and Ranked matches. The effect for each match is random.
After matchmaking is successful, you'll be notified of the battlefield effect for the current match. During hero selection, tap the small icon to view the effect description.
The battlefield effect will activate immediately when the match starts and remain active until the end of the match.
The Battlefield Effects tested in this patch are as follows:
Boulder Shatter: Multiple obstacles on the map become thinned or broken, making them easier to pass through. Heroes without movement skills can now move more freely.
Danger at Every Turn: Existing bushes on the map are extended and new ones are added, providing more opportunities for ambush.
Free Roaming: Two rapid movement devices have been added near the Base, enabling quick returns to lanes or flanking enemies during Base defense.
Rushing Torrent: The River's speed-up effect now extends into parts of the Jungle Area. When the Turtle/Lord is alive, the river will permanently flow toward their location, making it easier for heroes to participate in contests for the neutral map objectives.
To balance creep-clearing speeds across Junglers, we've increased the damage ratio of Blessed Jungling Boots while making individual adjustments to heroes with particularly fast or slow creep-clearing speeds (see Hero Adjustments section for details).
Base Damage per Second: 25 > 40 (damage is increased by 100% for non-Marksman heroes)
Base HP of Molten Fiend, Thunder Fenrir, Fire Beetle, Horned Lizard, and Lava Golem increased by 13%.
New Effect: Junglers take 15% less damage in the allied Jungle Area.
As Emblems are a crucial part of the battle experience, we have made balance adjustments based on their recent statistics and performance. We hope these changes will encourage more diverse Emblem choices.
We aim to enhance Fighters' sustained combat capability.
Hybrid Defense: 6 > 8
Banned Hero This Week: Ling
Max Stacks: 8 > 6
Cooldown: 8s > 10s
