Patch 7.40c is out now and you can check out the patch notes here.

As a reminder, the Monster Hunter event ends February 6, 2026, after which you'll no longer be able to earn progress or craft items. Today's update also adds new Universal Material packs for purchase, providing an alternative way to get materials and finish crafting any remaining items before the event ends.

In addition, we've addressed the following issues:

  • Fixed Blood Grenade bonus health not being updated when stack count changes

  • Fixed Helm of the Dominator and Helm of the Overlord granting experience to Lone Druid's Spirit Bear, instead of Lone Druid

  • Fixed Helm of the Overlord not granting bounty and experience for dominating creeps

  • Fixed Illusion Rune not disjointing projectiles upon activating

  • Fixed physical lifesteal working when attacking a unit with an all-damage barrier

  • Fixed Quick Buy sometimes not removing queued items when recipes are combined

  • Fixed Smoke of Deceit being castable from the stash

  • Fixed Anti-Mage with Shard and Magebane's Mirror Facet instantly killing Spectre when using Counterspell while walking on a Spectral Dagger path targeted at another unit.

  • Fixed Arc Warden's Tempest Double being able to pick talents

  • Fixed Bounty Hunter unable to target Spirit Bear with Friendly Shadow

  • Fixed Brewmaster's level 25 talent not applying to brewlings

  • Fixed Clinkz's Infernal Shred ignoring more armor than intended

  • Fixed Doom not getting Ancient Prowler Shaman's Petrify ability when devouring the neutral

  • Fixed Largo's Encore sometimes not refreshing an existing buff on yourself or the target

  • Fixed Morphling not losing the bonus damage from unused stones when replicating back from Earth Spirit

  • Fixed Morphling perpetually spawning Monkey King's Wukong's Command soldiers when replicating Monkey King with Aghanim's Scepter

  • Fixed Medusa being able to get infinite health when purchasing a heart while Lifestealer has infested medusa and then using Shadow Demon's Disseminate with the Promulgate Facet targeting Medusa

  • Fixed Spectre Arcana's idle and idle rare animations
