Hero Feature: A Magic-Damage Marksman who can shoot while moving continuously and excels at initiating teamfights by landing skills.

Aerial Dominance

liquipedia ↗

Kimmy can move and aim in different directions when using her Spray Gun, but cannot lock on to a specific enemy. Kimmy's Spray Gun attack deals Magic Damage. Hitting enemy heroes restores Starlium. At max Starlium, Kimmy's Basic Attacks are enhanced to deal more damage and pierce through targets.

Anti-Grav Thruster

liquipedia ↗

Kimmy uses her jetpack to take flight, passing through terrain and gaining Movement Speed boost. During the flight, she fires Chemical Bolts at nearby enemies, dealing Magic Damage and slowing them.

Starlium Beam

liquipedia ↗

Kimmy fires a Starlium Beam in the target direction, dealing Magic Damage and immobilizing enemies in its path.

Traction Pulse

liquipedia ↗

Kimmy charges and fires a Traction Pulse in a target direction. Upon hitting an enemy or reaching its max range, the Traction Pulse explodes, deals Magic Damage to nearby enemies, and creates a force field that slows down enemies within. After a short delay, the field contracts, pulling all enemies to its center.

Hero Feature: A Tank who can split into multiple spirit-like creatures; after stacking its skill, it can attach to an enemy hero and transfer damage to the host.

Stick, Stick

liquipedia ↗

Enemies gain a stack of Sticky each time they're hit by Gloo's skills, decreasing their Movement Speed. Each stack of Sticky on an enemy reduces their damage dealt to Gloo.

Slam, Slam

liquipedia ↗

Gloo reaches out and slams the ground, dealing damage and leaving a Goo behind. After a while, the Goo explodes, dealing damage and immobilizing enemies in the area. If Gloo touches the Goo, the Goo will explode early and reset the cooldown. (Hitting enemies with the explosion restores HP to Gloo.)

Pass, Pass

liquipedia ↗

Gloo deals damage and briefly immobilizes enemies in a fan-shaped area in front of it, then splits into multiple Goos that deal continuous damage to enemies they touch. If this skill hits a Goo, Gloo will charge over to it, dragging enemies in its path for a distance.

Grab, Grab

liquipedia ↗

Gloo can attach itself to an enemy hero with max Sticky stacks and immediately restore a large amount of HP. During this time, Gloo's Basic Attacks are converted to deal Magic Damage to the host. While attached, Gloo also transfers a portion of the damage it takes to the host.

Yi Sun-shin hero Buff

Adjustments applied to Heavenly Vow, Traceless, Blood Floods, Mountain Shocker.

Heavenly Vow

Traceless

Blood Floods

Mountain Shocker

All Documented Modifications (5)

Designer Note

As an Assassin, Yi Sun-shin's playstyle doesn't quite match his intended role. His ability to secure kills in the early-to-mid game has been relatively weak, forcing him to rely on fast resource farming to gain an economic lead and take over the match. We aim to enhance his burst damage potential, and therefore we've completely redesigned his Ultimate. We've also optimized the control experience of all his other skills.

Heavenly Vow

liquipedia ↗

New Effect: Added an Enhanced Basic Attack indicator. Yi Sun-shin can now see whether his next Basic Attack will be a glaive attack or an arrow attack. New Effect: Reduced the backswing of the second Enhanced Basic Attack from Weapon Mastery. Removed Effect: Obtaining Turtle Ships from the Base.

Traceless

liquipedia ↗

Fixed an issue where the skill wasn't granting Slow Immunity as intended.

Blood Floods

liquipedia ↗

Arrow damage no longer decays with each target hit. Self Slow Effect while holding to shoot an arrow: 20% → 5% Significantly reduced arrow shooting backswing.

Mountain Shocker

liquipedia ↗

Yi Sun-shin summons a turtle ship and gains sight of the whole map. During this time, Yi Sun-shin gains extra Movement Speed Bonus. When cast again, Yi Sun-shin commands the turtle ship to ram toward a target location, stunning enemy heroes in the area. Then he commands the naval fleet to launch 3 waves of cannon shots on the area, dealing Physical Damage and slowing the enemies. New Effect: Immediately triggers Weapon Mastery after casting Ultimate. Removed Effect: Increased Enhanced Basic Attack Damage from Ultimate upgrades.

Ashing

Burst Fireball

Searing Torrent

Vengeance Flame

All Documented Modifications (5)

Designer Note

Valir's Ultimate currently has two drastically different effects: increasing damage and removing debuffs. We've streamlined this by removing the damage-increasing effect while strengthening his Passive Damage instead. We've also improved the control experience of Skill 1 and enhanced its lane-clearing/combat ability in the mid-to-late game.

Ashing

liquipedia ↗

Ablaze Damage Duration: 4s → 3s Sustained Damage per Second: 0.6% of target's Max HP → (1 + 0.2% of Magic Power)% of target's Max HP Detonation Damage: 6% of target's Max HP → (5 + 1% of Magic Power)% of target's Max HP

Leomord hero Buff

Adjustments applied to Phantom Steed.

Phantom Steed

All Documented Modifications (2)

Designer Note

While Leomord's core gameplay revolves around fighting alongside Barbiel, we've noticed that players often struggle to fully utilize his mounted form during the fast-paced battles of the mid-to-late game. To enhance the combat experience of the mounted-form Leomord, we've significantly increased his power while mounted and reduced the Ultimate cooldown for this duration. We've also increased Barbiel's running speed toward Leomord, allowing him to mount up and dominate the battlefield more quickly. To balance these buffs, we've shortened his mounted form's Duration and reduced Barbiel's Damage when knocking back enemies.

Phantom Steed

Hybrid Defense Increase: 30-90 → 30-110 Barbiel Movement Speed: 6 → 9 Movement Speed: 60 → 70 Cooldown: 35-25s → 30-20s Burst Speed Boost: 30% → 50% Duration: 15s → 10s Base Damage: 350-550 (+ 100% of Total Physical Attack) → 100-300 (+ 40% of Total Physical Attack)

Adjustments applied to Mystic Favor, Mystic Projectile, Mystic Injunction, Mystic Gush.

Mystic Favor

Mystic Projectile

Mystic Injunction

Mystic Gush

All Documented Modifications (5)

Designer Note

As Gord is a Mage, we want players to focus on stacking his Passive through skills. Therefore, we've removed the Basic Attack's ability to stack and trigger the Passive. We've increased Skill 2's attack frequency and number of hits, as well as widened the Ultimate's range. We've also added an exclusive aiming indicator for Skill 1 to help players better predict and land shots more precisely, allowing them to better utilize Gord's advantages as a long-range, high-damage Mage and dominate the battlefield. To balance these changes, we've reduced Skill 2's damage.

Mystic Favor

liquipedia ↗

Removed the Basic Attack's ability to stack and trigger the Passive.

Mystic Projectile

liquipedia ↗

Added a camera shift feature that provides an expanded view when taking aim. Added an exclusive aiming indicator that clearly displays the projectile trajectory and maximum range.

Mystic Injunction

Number of Casts: 13 → 16 Cast Interval: 0.3s → 0.25s Base Damage: 55-105 (+ 16% of Total Magic Power) → 30-80 (+ 14% of Total Magic Power)

Mystic Gush

liquipedia ↗

Ultimate Width: 0.6 → 0.8 Added a camera shift feature that provides an expanded view when taking aim. Optimized Ultimate casting logic. Now when auto-casting, the Ultimate will prioritize targeting heroes hit by Skill 1 or Skill 2.

Superposition

All Documented Modifications (4)

Designer Note

We aim to optimize Natan's Basic Attack output experience. Now, he can follow up with Basic Attacks more quickly after using skills and maintain his Passive stacks more easily during extended fights. To balance these changes, we've slightly reduced his Base Attack and Passive's base duration.

Theory of Everything

liquipedia ↗

New Effect: Natan's Basic Attack hits will refresh the duration of the passive [Entanglement) effect (without changing the number of Passive stacks). Entanglement Effect Base Duration: 5s → 2.5s

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.

Synchro Fission

Chrono Dash

All Documented Modifications (3)

Designer Note

Increased the speed of Synchro Fission's first phase (while keeping the explosion unchanged and still occurring after the first phase) to better align with the animation. Additionally, we've fixed an issue where the skill would sometimes deal no damage. However, this makes it easier to hit targets with Skill 1, so we've decided to reduce its damage. We've observed that Harith is already quite strong in the current patch, so we're reducing the Shield value of Skill 2 in the late game.

Synchro Fission
