Massive experimental patch went online brought by massive effort of our community members Astrogear and k1las! Heroes, items, pets, neutrals and bosses were updated. And additionally to it Armor and Magic Armor returned to the game. Like the previous experimental patch this one will be temporary to collect your feedback and make more adjustments on the way. For now we don't have exact duration,…
Hey, Chosen Ones. This time we've decided to check some changes to balance that come from the times of open beta. In this patch we are switching Resistance and Mitigation to act as Magic and Regular Armor like it was before the patch 0.9.0. There are arguments for and against those changes, therefore we decided to give it a try but not fully commit to it yet. For now they will still look like R…

Whether you coded late into the night, moderated forums, created content, hosted tournaments, or simply logged in to pla…
Patch 1.1.5.0 brings minor balance changes and several QoL improvements. Gameplay Items · Grimoire · Resistance penetration: 35% -> 45%. · Shieldbreaker · Resistance penetration: 40% -> 50%. Both items seem underwhelming and at the same time both should help against heroes stacking resistance. Quality of life · An option to increase cursor size added to options. · Item build editor screen impro…
With the 1.1.4.0 patch starting power was changed to 100. While the intention was to keep every bonuses acquired during the match the same, unfortunately item bonus to attack damage was overlooked. That resulted in severe damage reduction for attack damage heroes. With this minor balance patch the goal is to pull attack damage heroes back to their previous level. Gameplay Items · Dark Bargain ·…

For patch 1.1.3.0 we focused on improvements for Captain's mode, bringing back Scrim matchmaking mode and fixing bugs. Gameplay · Eye of Tempra : cooldown increased: 45 → 90s. Eye of Tempra is one of the best items in the game (if not the best), allowing players both to engage and disengage a fight with no counter to it. Its low cooldown (with combination of cooldown reduction it granted) allow…
