Patch 1.7.44
Season 26 Released December 20, 2022Patch 1.7.44 - Revamp Milestone
Official update released December 20, 2022. Key highlights: Revamped Hero: Hanabi , the Scarlet Flower New Season: Season 27 New Event: M4 Pass New Equipment: Swift Crossbow.
Adjustments applied to Ninjutsu Petal Barrage, Ninjutsu Equinox, Ninjutsu Soul Scroll, Forbidden Jutsu Higanbana.
We're hoping that Natan can be more of a fast-attacking Marksman that deals Magic Damage. Since Natan now benefits more from Magic and Attack Effect equipment, we've also updated up his build recommendations.
Layla has upgraded her equipment against complex battle environments. She can now more frequently attack enemies from afar, but the lighter equipment has also lowered her damage slightly.
Even though Moskov can extend his range by penetrating targets, he's still at more risk than other Marksmen in mid and late teamfights, so we're increasing his attack range. We've also updated his build recommendations.
We're making the following adiustments to Yi Sun-shin to increase both his skill cap and early-game performance.
Clint's Ultimate was mostly just used to trigger his passive, so we widened the projectile's hitbox to make it easier to land. At the same time, we extended it's bombardment range to work better with his passive.
Zhask should benefit greatly from the new equipment, as a Mage that relies on summoned unit's and their Basic Attacks, so we're adjusting him in other areas to balance.
We are making Silvanna's Ultimate easier to land in high ranks and reducing its frequency to balance. We're also changing her Skill 2's damage type to match the new equipment.
Adjustments applied to Transcendence, Infinite Extension, Mystic Field, Dawning Light.
We want to optimize Gloo's gameplay so we are shifting Gloo's damage towards his Skill 1.
We want Minotaur to use his Ultimate more often, so we have increased his Rage gain.
Adjustments applied to Swallow's Path, Crossbow of Tang.
In the current patch, Karrie's gameplay is very restricted with little room for error. Therefore. we're decreasing her cooldowns to make her more viable.
Miya has been blessed by the moon Goddess with a new function on her passive.
Brody has powerful early-game and burst abilities, but his sustained damage isn't so great in the mid and late game. We're now making it slightly higher.
The new equipment made Claude too powerful, so we're slightly nerfing the Attack Effect bonus of his skills.
Slightly reduced Kimmy's power in the early and mid game because the new Glowing Wand was working too well on her.
The new equipment made Sun too powerful, so we're slightly nerfing his burst potential.
Mathilda is overpowered in high-ranked and professional play, so we're slightly nerfing her abilities while boosting her burst damage on single targets in teamfights.
Carmilla's Ultimate currently provides too much utility to her team, so we are making it easier for her enemies to break links.
Slightly reduced Joy's early game survivability
