High King Valkin changes[]
Lead By Example only allows Dwarf allies to make a follow up attack. Before the update all allies made a follow up attack. His Epic adds this mechanics again.- Valkin's Epic attack now does 2x damage and adds
Haste to all dwarf allies. A Haste buff for all allies, and a DEF buff have been removed. - Valkin's Epic Passive has been changed from
Epic Dwarven High King to Epic Lead By Example which allows all allies to make a follow up attack when Valkin attacks. The change basically removed the +25% ATK und DEF boost for allies, and +50% ATK und DEF boost for dwarf allies.
Emperor Zulkodd changes[]
- Infernal Inferno base damage has been increased.
- Incite Doom base damage has been increased.
- Diabolical Fervor now only needs one allied demon to work. Prior to the update two allied demons were needed.
- Lord of the Pit now is triggered by the death of an allied Demon OR Fire Hero (the Fire ally part has been added.)
Shieldmaiden Astrid changes[]
- Added the Honorbound tag.
- Removed the Tank tag. Astrid is now just a Warrior.
- Boomerang Shield is now a ranged physical attack on all enemies with a 100% chance to apply Off-Balance on all enemies hit. Cooldown has been reduced from 6 to 4.
- Embarrassing Jab is now Crippling Advance - A melee physical attack on target with a 100% chance to Paralyze on hit. Ability starts powered and has a cooldown of 3.
- Derision is now Impaling Barrage - 3 armour-piercing melee physical attacks on target enemy. If an enemy is killed by this ability, Astrid gains Haste
- Astrid no longer has Demon Hunter, Cloth Guardian and Choking Provoke passives.
- She now has the Honorbound trait.
- She now has Phalanx Formation which gives allies 5% defence for each Warrior or Honorbound hero on the team.
- She now has Valkyrie Valor which, if there is a Legendary Fire Warrior on the team ( Emperor Zulkodd or Archon) Astrid becomes fast and warrior and honorbound allies start the dungeon with an Aegis Shield.
- Just a Scratch has been modified so it adds non-expiring stacks that raise Astrid's damage by 20% and has a max of 10 stacks.
Other changes[]
- Ethereal is no longer a "sprit armor". That is, it no longer provides a permanent 25% Damage Reduction from Physical attacks (like Armored), and is no longer affected by Bauble's Overclocked and other synergies for Armored heroes. Instead, it gives a 20% damage reduction from all attacks. It still prevents health dropping below 1 on the first turn.
- all Spirits have now the Ethereal trait (including Shade)
- The 'Bushido' trait is now called Honorbound. It functions no differently.
- Text added to clarify that Agnon's Graniteform is meant to remove/prevent buffs.
