Buffs

[Zeppetta]

[Eliminate Failures] 

  • Ground Skill charge distance greatly increased.
  • Fixed an issue where opponents hit by the first hit of her Aerial Skill could retaliate with their Ultimate.

[Ravi]

Ability

[Instant Awakening] 

  • Increases Basic Attack damage for 3 s upon hitting an opponent with your Skill.

Nerf

[Jack O’]

We are dialing down his Ultimate’s damage which had become too strong.”

[Octavia]

We are nerfing her high pick/win rate Ability to tone down her Ultimate’s up time.”

Skill

[My Turn!]

Adjust

[Bug Fisxes]

  • Fixed an issue where using Aoi’s Skill would deactivate nearby Red’s stealth
  • Fixed an issue where [Relentless Lightning] and [Prudent Beam] enchantments would not activate when Maya had the [Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop!] Ability equipped
