Pursuer & Finisher For the Moskov revamp, we optimized his Ultimate to give him new possibilities while also nerfed his other skills by reducing their power. In addition, we redesigned Moskov's look, bringing him back to his best form.

Spear of Quiescence

liquipedia ↗

Skill 1&2 Cooldown Reduction for every Basic Attack: 0.8s → 0.5s Slightly reduced the foreswing time of his Basic Attack for a smoother control experience.

Abyss Walker

liquipedia ↗

Attack Speed Boost: 1.15-1.5x → 1.15-1.35x

Spear of Destruction

liquipedia ↗

When Spear of Destruction hits an enemy hero, it creates a shadow behind them and refreshes the cooldown of Abyss Walker. You can use the Ultimate again to cast Abyss Walker from the shadow's location (shares the same cooldown as the normal skill). The flying speed of Spear of Destruction is slightly increased. The spear becomes wider the longer the flight time. Longest Slow Duration: 5s → 3s Base Damage: 600-800 → 340-500. Penetrate Damage is now down to 1.1x Base Damage

Masha hero Revamped

Adjustments applied to Ancient Strength, Wild Power, Howl Shock, Life Recovery.

Ancient Strength Wild Power Howl Shock Life Recovery

All Documented Modifications (5)

Designer Note

As the only hero with 3 HP bars, Masha lacks the appropriate skills and strength when facing other heroes. We're making her more aggressive by differentiating her 3 HP bars and making each skill cast count, while allowing her to enter and exit the fight at will under certain conditions. In the meantime, players will have to be more careful with the timing of each skill cast (especially with only one HP bar left) as she has lost some of her durability advantages. We're also adding the Jungle as her secondary position and changing her default Battle Setup. (Masha needs equipment to provide extra Attack Speed and HP Regen rather than Defense.)

Ancient Strength

liquipedia ↗

Removed Effect: Attack Speed increases with HP loss. New Effect: She can't gain Defense from equipment or Emblems. Every 1 Defense she gains is converted into 0.25 Physical Attack. When losing the 1st HP bar, gains extra Lifesteal → extra Base Hybrid Defense, Healing Received and Resilience. When losing the 2nd HP bar, gains extra Lifesteal and Resilience → extra Base Hybrid Defense, Healing Received and full Control Immunity. Adjusted how Masha recovers HP at the fountain. Now you don't need to press any buttons to fully recover all her HP bars.

Wild Power

liquipedia ↗

Use Again to Stop Casting → One-Time Cast Revamped Effect: Masha consumes 25% of an HP bar to cast it, gaining Attack Speed and Movement Speed and enhancing her Basic Attack for 4s. Her Enhanced Basic Attack deals extra damage based on the target's Max HP and restores her HP. Continuously hitting heroes or Creeps reduces the cooldown of her 1st skill.

Howl Shock

liquipedia ↗

Removed Effect: Disarm. Requirements: No Cost → 10% of an HP Bar The projectiles now hit all enemies in the target area and can no longer be blocked by enemy heroes.

Life Recovery

liquipedia ↗

Removed Effect: Control Immunity and Damage Reduction after charging. New Effect: Slightly knocks back enemies around the target; disarms and slows the target for 2s. Requirements: 50% of Current HP → 40% of an HP Bar Damage Adjustments: Percentage of Masha's Extra Max HP → Percentage of the Target's Current HP

Adjustments applied to Warmonger, Demonic Grip, Meteoric Sword, Eternal Evil.

Warmonger

Demonic Grip

Meteoric Sword

Eternal Evil

All Documented Modifications (5)

Designer Note

Experimental Adjustments: Argus's current gameplay is a bit too bland. His Ultimate seems to be both offensive and defensive, but in fact, it's difficult to achieve the desired effect. The Curse Damage of Meteoric Sword constitutes a lot of his strength, but it doesn't match his style of spamming Basic Attack. So we decided to redesign Argus's skill set and combat experience. As well as his early to mid game laning ability.

Warmonger

liquipedia ↗

HP Regen: 65 + 40% Total Physical Attack → 200 + 10% Total Physical Attack Extra Physical Damage: 155 + 100% Total Physical Attack → 200 + 100% Total Physical Attack New Effect: Extra Attack ignores 40% of the target's Physical Defense. The Skill Recharge logic of the Malice Energy has been adjusted from recharging based on the damage dealt, to recharging every second and on every Basic Attack (critical hit grants extra recharge).

Demonic Grip

liquipedia ↗

Slightly reduced the charge distance when using the skill again. Increased the charge speed when using the skill again.

Meteoric Sword

liquipedia ↗

Base Damage: 300-400 + 40% Total Physical Attack → 300-400 + 100% Total Physical Attack New Effect: The Meteoric Sword damage now counts as Basic Attack damage and can trigger Attack Effect. New Effect: The Meteoric Sword's attack interval now shortens as the Attack Speed increases. New Effect: Argus' Basic Attack against a cursed target will grant double Malice Energy charging speed. Curse no longer deals damage.

Eternal Evil

liquipedia ↗

New Effect: Argus passively increases the charging speed of the Malice Energy. Removed Effect: Argus permanently gains 10-30 Physical Attack.

Joy's enemy can now interrupt her Skill 2 with CCs. Joy should now look for the right time to enter the fight. But she still has options if her Skill 2 is interrupted.

Meow, Rhythm of Joy!

We want to emphasize Roger's tactical significance and performance, as most of the time he just dominates the game in the wolf form when the team is leading in Gold. So, we've balanced the difference in damage output between his human and the wolf forms. Roger's human form is now stronger at lowering enemies' HP while his wolf form is stronger at finishing them off.

Full Moon Curse

liquipedia ↗

Revamped Passive: In human form, Roger's Basic Attack and skills deal additional damage equal to 5% of the target's current HP; in wolf form, Roger's Basic Attack and skills deal additional damage equal to 5% of the target's lost HP. This effect can only deal up to 60 additional damage against Creeps.
