Hero Changes

The update will make adjustments to the abilities of some heroes that stand out from the crowd. Let's look at each change in more detail.

Several changes have been made to the hero skill set.

• Passive — the duration of the shield has been increased compared to previous versions. Akai can now mark enemies with 1 and 2 active skills, and deals additional damage to marked enemies with his basic attacks.
• First Skill - After a short delay, Akai dashes in the indicated direction, dealing damage to enemies in his path and knocking the first enemy hero hit into the air. After that, it can roll in the same direction once. If no enemy heroes are hit, he will move forward a short distance.
• Second skill - The hero swings his arms and slams his body on the ground, dealing damage and slowing enemies in the area.

Hilda

Hilda clearly lacked power in the late game. The developers have adjusted the skill damage to balance her strength and make her stronger in the end.

• First Skill - Reduced base damage.
• Second skill - damage increase, reload time change.
• Ultimate - Previously, Hilda received a permanent charge for each kill or assist (up to 8 times). The character's skills and basic attack now mark the target on hit (up to 6 stacks). Increased the base and additional damage of the ability.

To help this original tank shine, Groku has had some skills reworked. The hero will be able to resist enemies with physical attacks even better, but will also be more resistant to magical attacks.

It is now easier for this original tank to freeze enemies, but for a shorter duration. Now the heroes afflicted Ice Breath, will have reduced attack speed. It will also slow their movement speed for 3 seconds, after which they will be frozen for 0,5 seconds.

In this update, Johnson will be able to stand alone in the experience lane as well as best fighters.

• Passive - after death, the hero summons an angry Nightmare Spawn.

Baksy

Now this tank can be a great initiator, especially in the early game, as the damage of his second skill has been increased. The cooldown speed of this ability has also been slightly increased.

Hylos

Hylos is really strong in the early game, so his strength carries over into the late game.

Skill 2

• Base Damage: 120-270 >> 100-300

Dynamic Attributes

These changes are aimed at satisfying more players who have different levels of play. Due to the special mechanics of the skills of some heroes, it becomes difficult to find ideal values ​​for them. That is why they will change depending on the rank and other indicators:

• The number of heroes with dynamic attribute values ​​will not exceed 10. Character balancing is a priority, and this approach will only be taken when optimization proves ineffective.
• Changes will be made in accordance with the use of the hero at the Mythic rank.
• Only base attributes will be affected.
• Each hero can have only one dynamic attribute.
• The effect only works in ranked games. It is determined by the highest rank of the participants in the lobby.

In update 1.6.60, the above approach will be tested on Alice by boosting her mana regen at low game level. Due to the lack of higher ranked players on the test server, mana regeneration has only been adjusted on ranks. Warrior (+150%) и Elite (+100%).

• Rank "Warrior": Mana regeneration increased by 150%.
• Elite rank: Mana regeneration increased by 100%.

• bloody retribution - will give even more health regeneration, and will also allow you to deal more damage.
• torpor - The damage and movement speed of enemies affected by the spell will be reduced by 25% for 3 seconds.
• Sprint - Bonus movement speed no longer decreases over time.

Equipment items

Also, changes have affected some items of equipment that players often use in various builds. Next, we will analyze each of them in more detail.

Twilight Armor

The updated defensive item will give heroes even more protection. It will now provide 1200 additional health points, as well as 20 points of physical protection. The unique passive effect from the item has also been changed (every 1,5 seconds, the next attack will deal additional magic damage to the enemy).

This item has been nerfed slightly and will now only grant 30 Physical Defense.
