Carmilla
Carmilla hero Buff

Adjustments applied to Vampire Pact, Crimson Flower, Bloodbath.

All Documented Modifications (4)
Designer Note
We noticed that Carmilla's Skill had too much variance in the number of hits it could land. To address this, we've increased its circling speed and the number of Crimson Flowers to make the skill's performance more consistent. To balance the overall power of the adjusted Skill 1, we've reduced the effect of each individual hit. We've also optimized Carmilla's Passive and Skill 2 to help her adapt to more team compositions and combat scenarios. We hope these adjustments will make Carmilla a more viable pick.
Cooldown on the Same Hero: 5s → 3s. Now you can stack effects even in 1v1 combat.
Number of Crimson Flowers: 2 → 3 Removed the circling speed increase mechanic. Flowers now circle at the increased speed default. Damage: 100-200 + 50% Magic Power → 65-130 + 30% Magic Power Slow Effect: 10% → 6%, Cap: 50% → 30% HP Regen: 75-150 + 35% Magic Power → 45-90 + 21% Magic Power
The Movement Speed now decays more slowly and will only start decaying after 2.5s.
Role: Support, Tank

Yve
Yve hero Buff

Adjustments applied to Galactic Power, Void Blast, Void Crystal, Real World Manipulation.

All Documented Modifications (5)
Designer Note
We aim to give Yve an effective passive skill while enhancing her sustained damage output when her Ultimate is unavailable. This should enable her with some self-protection capability. This change will greatly increase Skill 1's tap damage output, so we've reduced Skill 2's damage for balance and to make each skill's function more distinct.
Yve gains a stack of shield when dealing damage to enemy heroes with her skills. The shield can stack up to 3 times and lasts for 3s.
Cooldown: 5s-2.5s → 3s-1.5s Mana Cost: 65-90 → 40-65 Damage: 350-600 + 150% Magic Power → 290-540 + 120% Magic Power
Second Stage Damage: 105-180 + 20% Magic Power → 50-125 + 10% Magic Power Mana Cost: 100-150 → 80-130
Removed the Shield Effect when activating the Ultimate. Number of Attacks: 15 → 20 Slow Effect When Swipe: 50% → 60% New Effect: Increase camera height when casting the Ultimate.
