Patch 2.1.30

Hilda's late-game minion clearing efficiency and durability are low, and she relies on Bushes to trigger her passive effect, leaving her with average performance in the Exp Lane. So this time we redesigned Hilda's passive skill, changing the enhanced Basic Attack originally obtained from Skill 1 to entering a Bush, improving her Exp Lane presence and minion clearing efficiency. Meanwhile, Skill 1 has been redesigned to grant a shield and speed boost, reducing her dependence on bushes. We've also optimized the control experience of Basic Attacks after Skill 2, improving passive stacking efficiency and combo smoothness. To balance this, we've reduced how much the Passive Wilderness Mark reduces Physical & Magic Defense.

Xavier relies on continuously hitting enemies with Skills 1 and 2 to enhance and enter the Transcendence state for stronger damage output. This doesn't align with our design expectations. Therefore, we've increased the width of all skills, changed Stage I to a permanent passive, and removed the original Stage II effect, allowing Xavier to enter the Transcendence state more quickly. To balance this change, we've reduced the duration of Skill 2's immobilization.

As a tank-roaming hero, Minotaur's ability to provide healing and buffs to his team far exceeds his own survivability as a tank. We want his combat ability to better match his character. We've revamped the original Enraged Regen effect that enhanced Skill 2 as Minotaur's new passive to improve his durability in combat. We've also added Slow Effects to the first 2 hits of his Ultimate to improve the hit rate of the final hit's Airborne effect. For balance, we have reduced Minotaur's ability to provide healing and buffs to allies, though he remains a unique tank with the ability to heal teammates.

Atlas's Skill 2 and Ultimate lack clear range indicators in actual combat to determine whether they can hit enemies. So we've adjusted the ranges of his passive Frigid Breath, Skill 2's stun, and the Ultimate's first-stage slow effect to be completely consistent. Players can now use the visual effect circle of Frigid Breath as a range indicator for other skills, improving overall skill hit rate. Additionally, the Physical & Magic Defense boost from Atlas's Passive cannot scale with his economic growth, so we've adjusted its numerical structure to scale based on his Extra HP. To balance this change, we've slightly reduced the stun duration after Atlas returns to Mecha in Skill 2.

Increased Martis's damage in the mid-to-late game.

We aim to slightly raise Balmond's control ceiling in high-level matches.

Enhanced his mobility and the controls of his Ultimate.

Optimized Skill 2's Mana Cost and the controls of the Ultimate to make HP support for allies more timely.

Thamuz currently takes too long to scale, making him unable to fulfill the Fighter/Tank role until he has three or more equipment items. To address this, we've increased his early game survivability.

As a late-game Marksman, Layla's farming speed was greatly affected by the decrease in Gold from Minions. Therefore, we've slightly increased her damage in the mid to late game.
