1We will continue optimizing the experience for roaming tank heroes. In previous patches, we increased the Gold income for roaming heroes. In upcoming patches, we will enhance certain tank heroes' Gold efficiency and optimize their equipment.
I. Hero Adjustments
21
~AdjustedA female warrior who infuses weapons with the Power of Einherjar for sustained combat. In this revamp design for Freya, we aim to resolve the following issues and make optimizations: 1- We've noticed that Freya has to cast her Skill 2 to increase Attack Speed when jungling or clearing minions, which leaves her unprepared for sudden teamfights, so we aim to lower the cast condition for her Skill 2. 2- Freya's dominance in the early to mid-game was too powerful. Once she gained momentum, enemies found it difficult to counter her. Therefore, we will reduce the Attack Speed provided by her passive, making certain Attack Speed equipment more beneficial for Freya. 3- Gave her Ultimate the capability to enter teamfights. This should allow her to quickly enter the Valkyrie state and enter combat when allies initiate teamfights.
Power of EinherjarPassive~ AdjustedPower of Einherjar: Freya can store up to 6 Sacred Orbs. Each Basic Attack grants 1 Sacred Orb, and they gradually recover when out of combat. Consuming 1 Sacred Orb grants Freya 100% Attack Speed Bonus for her next Basic Attack.
Leap of FaithS1~ AdjustedValkyrie Shieldbind: Freya leaps to the target area and strikes the ground with her shield, gaining a shield and dealing Physical Damage to enemies within and knocking them airborne.
Valkyrie SlashS2~ AdjustedValkyrie Slash: Freya charges forward and slashes, dealing Physical Damage. This skill has no base cooldown but consumes 2 Sacred Orbs per cast.
Valkyrie DescentUlt~ AdjustedValkyrie Descent: Freya selects a target area and dives down, dealing Physical Damage and slowing enemies along the path and at the landing point. Upon landing, Freya enters the Valkyrie state, during which her Basic Attacks deal increased damage, recover HP, and deal splash damage.
↑BuffHilda's late-game minion clearing efficiency and durability are low, and she relies on Bushes to trigger her passive effect, leaving her with average performance in the Exp Lane. So this time we redesigned Hilda's passive skill, changing the enhanced Basic Attack originally obtainedSkill 1→entering a Bush, improving her Exp Lane presence and minion clearing efficiency. Meanwhile, Skill 1 has been redesigned to grant a shield and speed boost, reducing her dependence on bushes. We've also optimized the control experience of Basic Attacks after Skill 2, improving passive stacking efficiency and combo smoothness. To balance this, we've reduced how much the Passive Wilderness Mark reduces Physical & Magic Defense
Blessing of WildernessPassive~ AdjustedNote: When entering a Bush, Hilda enhances her next Basic Attack to deal 140 (+ 70% Total Physical Attack) (+ 9*hero level) Physical Damage and slow the target by 40% for 3s. Enemies behind the target take 70 (+50% Total Physical Attack) (+ 7*hero level) Physical Damage. After using this enhanced Basic Attack, it enters a 6s cooldown.
Pursuit Speed of Enhanced Basic Attack10→13+3
Each stack reduces the target's Physical Defense and Magic Defense by4%→3%−1%
Combat RitualS1~ AdjustedNote: Hilda activates the runic power of her giant axe, increasing her Movement Speed by 60% and gaining a shield equal to 10-20% of her Max HP for 3s.
Art of HuntingS2↑ BuffedNote: Reduced the foreswing of Skill 2's third attack by 33%.
Power of WildnessUlt↑ BuffedNote: Optimized the Ultimate's pursuit range and increased its hit rate after locking on.
↑BuffXavier relies on continuously hitting enemies with Skills 1 and 2 to enhance and enter the Transcendence state for stronger damage output. This doesn't align with our design expectations. Therefore, we've increased the width of all skills, changed Stage I to a permanent passive, and removed the original Stage II effect, allowing Xavier to enter the Transcendence state more quickly. To balance this change, we've reduced the duration of Skill 2's immobilization.
TranscendencePassive~ AdjustedNote: When Xavier hits an enemy hero with his skills, he gains 50% Movement Speed that decays over 1.2s. Each enemy hero hit by Xavier's skills generates one Energy charge. Upon reaching three charges, his next skill cast will enter the Transcendence state.
Infinite ExtensionS1↑ BuffedSkill Width in Normal State0.6→0.9+0.3
Mana Cost50-75→30-55
Mystic FieldS2~ AdjustedImmobilizing Time1.2s→0.8s−0.4s

Dawning LightUlt~ AdjustedSkill Width in Normal State2.2→3.0+0.8
Skill Width in Transcendence State3.8→3.0−0.8
↑BuffAs a tank-roaming hero, Minotaur's ability to provide healing and buffs to his team far exceeds his own survivability as a tank. We want his combat ability to better match his character. We've revamped the original Enraged Regen effect that enhanced Skill 2 as Minotaur's new passive to improve his durability in combat. We've also added Slow Effects to the first 2 hits of his Ultimate to improve the hit rate of the final hit's Airborne effect. For balance, we have reduced Minotaur's ability to provide healing and buffs to allies, though he remains a unique tank with the ability to heal teammates.
Rage IncarnatePassive~ AdjustedNote: Minotaur motivates for 3s after using the skill. When Enraged, the Regen effect is doubled.
[Motivation]: Recover HP equal to 5% of damage taken from enemy heroes (+ 1%*hero level).
Motivation RoarS2~ AdjustedHealing RangeMinotaur recovers himself and all surrounding allies→Minotaur recovers himself and the ally with the lowest HP nearby
Additional Lost HP Recovery5%→8%+3%
Enraged: Remove previous Enraged effects. Now Minotaur recovers himself and all surrounding allies
Minoan FuryUlt~ AdjustedSlow Effect40%→60%+20%
Airborne Duration1s→0.8s−0.2s
↑BuffAtlas's Skill 2 and Ultimate lack clear range indicators in actual combat to determine whether they can hit enemies. So we've adjusted the ranges of his passive Frigid Breath, Skill 2's stun, and the Ultimate's first-stage slow effect to be completely consistent. Players can now use the visual effect circle of Frigid Breath as a range indicator for other skills, improving overall skill hit rate. Additionally, the Physical & Magic Defense boostAtlas's Passive cannot scale with his economic growth, so we've adjusted its numerical structure→scale based on his Extra HP. To balance this change, we've slightly reduced the stun duration after Atlas returns to Mecha in Skill 2
Frigid BreathPassive↑ BuffedFrigid Breath Range2→3+1
Physical & Magic Defense Boost16-30→20+0.5% Extra HP
Perfect MatchS2~ AdjustedDamage and Stun Range after Atlas Returns to Mecha2.5→3+0.5
Stun Duration after Atlas Returns to Mecha1s→0.8s−0.2s
Fatal LinksUlt↓ NerfedSlow Range of the First Stage3.5→3−0.5
↑BuffWhen Benedetta's skills hit consecutively, her Sword Intent accumulates quickly to full. However, holding the Basic Attack button to enter the Swordout state may affect the control experience of skill-combo transitions into Swordout Slash. Therefore, we've shortened the detection time for entering the Swordout state when holding the Basic Attack button, allowing Benedetta to enter the state more quickly and improving control fluidity and responsiveness. Additionally, after dealing damage 3 times with Basic Attacks or skills, Benedetta's Sword Intent gauge falls slightly short of being full, affecting the controls of her Swordout Slash combos. Therefore, we've increased the amount of Sword Intent gaineddealing damage. It now only takes 3 hits from Basic Attacks or skills→fully charge her Sword Intent. We've also fixed an issue where Benedetta would continue charging Swordout Slash after being interrupted by control effects, which could cause her to cast it unintentionally once the control effect ended
Elapsed DaytimePassive↑ BuffedSword Intent Gained from Dealing Damage30→34 The detection time for entering the Swordout state when holding the Basic Attack button has been reduced by 40%
Note: When Benedetta is interrupted by control effects while charging Swordout Slash, the charge state will be interrupted, and her current Sword Intent will be retained. After the control effect ends, she needs to hold down Basic Attack again to enter the charge state. When Benedetta is in Swordout state and gets controlled while Sword Intent decays, her Swordout state will be interrupted and restored to full Sword Intent. After the control effect ends, she needs to hold down Basic Attack again to enter the charge state.
↑BuffIncreased Martis's damage in the mid-to-late game.

↑BuffThamuz currently takes too long to scale, making him unable to fulfill the Fighter/Tank role until he has three or more equipment items. To address this, we've increased his early game survivability.

Extra Max HP Bonus30%-50% Extra Max HP→50% Extra Max HP
↑BuffAs a late-game Marksman, Layla's farming speed was greatly affected by the decrease in Gold from Minions. Therefore, we've slightly increased her damage in the mid to late game.
Attribute↑ Buffed
Physical Attack Growth8.5→10+1.5
~AdjustedChang'e's tower pushing efficiency in the early-mid game is too high compared to other Mages, so we reduced her enhanced Basic Attack Damage and balanced it by reducing Skill 1's mid-late game cooldown.

VengeanceS2↓ NerfedBase Damage135-335→135-285
↓NerfCici's Delight stacks decay gradually when not dealing damage, granting her Movement Speed and Spell Vamp boost most of the time, making it difficult for enemies to counter. Therefore, we have increased the decay speed.

Chaos Clash - Gameplay Introduction
1Welcome to Chaos Clash! This is a fast
paced, unpredictable 18-player elimination mode (6 teams of 3).
The battle is split into multiple rounds where teams are paired up to fight. A team loses a round when all its heroes are killed. The losing team's HP will be deducted, and they are eliminated once the team's HP reaches 0.
When there's an odd number of surviving teams, a random team will sit out the round.
Before each round begins, you can customize your build by selecting a suitable Chaos Fragment (a global buff, such as increased Attack Speed or Cooldown Reduction).
