Aulus, Charge!

Adjustments applied to Contract Transform, Contract Soul Steal, Contract Explosion, Contract Chase Fate.

Contract Transform Contract Soul Steal Contract Explosion Contract Chase Fate

All Documented Modifications (5)

Designer Note

There was a huge gap between Aldous's damage capabilities in the early and late games, and he could be difficult to counter at full build. In this adjustment, we optimized his Skill 1 so he could gain stacks and hit the target more easily, and the calculation formula of the shield from his Passive to make it less dependent on his enhanced Basic Attacks. On the other hand, we slightly nerfed his Skill 2 and Ultimate so opposing players could counter him more easily.
