Revamped Heroes
Karina
Karina was revamped, strengthening her agility by buffing her passive, and changing her 1st and Ultimate Skill.
- Passive (Shadow Combo) – Extra damage will be dealt to a target when they are hit 3 times. Triggering shadow combo at hero targets reduces the cooldown of Karina’s Skill 1 and Skill 2.
- Skill 1 (Dance of Blades) – Karina keeps flourishing her twin blades to defend against all basic attacks as she increases her movement speed. She launches a spinning slash when hit by a close range basic attack, or throws a shadowblade at the attacker when hit by long-range. During the Dance of Blades state, Karina’s next basic attack will be enhanced, with which she can charge at the target and slow them down. This state ends when the enhanced basic attack or Shadow Assault is cast.
- Ultimate (Shadow Assault) – This skill locks on to and charges at the target as before. but can now also summon a Shadowform that lingers behind it. Use skill again to quickly return to the Shadowform’s location. This skill also adds a Shadow Mark on enemies hit by her Shadow Assault, and its cooldown is reset when a target with a Shadow Mark dies.
Alpha
- Passive (Beta, Advance!) – Each time Alpha uses a skill, he summons Beta to attack and mark the target, Beta will launch 3 laser strikes upon reaching 2 marks. Each of Beta’s first two laser strikes deals an amount of True Damage and briefly reduces the target’s movement speed, and the final one is an AOE attack that deals true damage.
- Skill 2 (Force Swing) – After charging the skill for a while, He strikes forward in a fan-shaped area, dealing physical damage. Each hit restores health points. Beta then strafes the enemies within the area, dealing physical damage.
- Ultimate (Alpha Charger!) – Alpha commands Beta to smash down at a set location, dealing physical damage and inflicting stun. At the same time, Alpha flies over to the area and deals physical damage to targets in his path, knocking them airborne toward his destination, and then smashing down to deal physical damage and slow them. After alpha smashes down, Beta launches 5 AoE strikes upon the target area, each dealing physical damage.
Minotaur
Minotaur now has new art assets that firs the image of this furious Minotaur better.
- Passive (Rage Mode) – All his skill’s cooldown now reset whenever he enters the rage state.
- Skill 2 (Motivation Roar) – Minotaur enhances his basic attacks for 5 seconds each time the skill is cast.
Sun
Sun has a new blink skill that allows him to confuse the enemy and escape from battle. Instantaneous Move’s damage is also increased.
- Skill 1 (Endless Variety) – Sun hurls his Golden staff in a designated direction, dealing damage along its path and slowing them. Upon hitting heroes or creeps, it transforms into a doppelganger that pursues the enemy.
- Skill 2 (Swift Exchange) – Sun hurls his staff in a designated direction, dealing damage to enemies along its path and slowing them. Sun will create a doppelganger to confuse the enemies, while he enters stealth and sends himself and his staff flying. When it reaches the destination, he catches it and reappears. Hitting an enemy hero on its path will end its fight and make Sun appear.
- Skill 3 (Instantaneous Move) – Sun and his Doppelgangers launch an instantaneous attack against a designated enemy, dealing damage to the target and enemies behind it. Doppelgangers that are made by skill 1 and skill 2 will use this skill when Sun uses it. His doppelgangers are now smarter and they now inherit Sun’s current HP and show an HP bar identical to Sun’s.
