Combat Mechanics

  • Lyca - Keeper of Glades
Fixed the description error of the Nova Fall skill to make sure it aligns with the skill's actual effects.
  • Thoran - The Fallen King
Optimized the description of his Resurrection skill. The actual effect remained consistent with the original.
  • Shakir - Furious Howl
Optimized the landing tile selection logic of his Ravaging Claws Ultimate during auto-cast. Shakir no longer lands on top of an enemy before being pushed aside in a fixed direction.
  • Talene - Resurging Flame
Fixed the issue where the Divine Conflagration Ultimate would not properly benefit from her Ultimate Power attribute.
Optimized the target tile selection logic of her Divine Conflagration Ultimate during the Dream Realm battle against Skyclops. After the adjustment, Talene will be able to eliminate the Skyclops' summons more efficiently.
Optimized Talene's preview animation in her display interface.
  • Ludovic - Wreathed Eternalist
Optimized the target tile selection logic when repositioning the everbloom field with the Ethereal Blooms skill. The field now prioritizes covering the weakest ally while covering as many enemies and allies as possible.
  • Satrana - Ember Enchantress
Fixed the issue where her "Ignite Passions" skill would sometimes fail to ignite enemies who can revive, such as Thoran.
  • Granny Dahnie - Forest Guardian
Fixed the issue where her Haste would reduce the control duration of her Threshold of Jade Ultimate's on enemies.
  • Viperian - Shadow Serpent
Fixed the issue where Viperian would burn more HP than usual when creating Darkvipers with the Spiritual Viper Ultimate due to certain Battle Drills mechanics.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue where Power values would appear abnormally high in certain modes after entering some modes, such as Trial of Abyss. After this fix, Power may seem lower than before in some modes, but this is only a display adjustment, actual stats remained unchanged.
  • Fixed the incorrect order in which some recruitment results are shown. This fix does not affect actual recruitment results.

Honor Duel Adjustments

  • Increased the strength of some Epic Equipment. Please check in-game descriptions for details.
  • Using an Artifact that benefits only a specific hero will boost that hero's chances of appearing in the store.
