Hero Adjustments
I. Akos Hu
1. Adjusted the effect of [Roar: Blast] to:
Akos unleashes a shockwave in the aimed direction.
· Charging the skill can deal more damage and inflict [Terror] on enemies.
2. Adjusted the effect of Ultimate [Feral Frenzy] to:
Akos roars like a tiger and knocks back nearby enemies. The tiger offers new attack ways that last for 22 sec in Solo, 25 sec in Duos and Trios modes.
· During the ultimate, tap Jump to launch tiger leap, then tap horizontal strike after landing to [Pounce]. Hold horizontal strike to charge a [Pounce], increasing damage and recovering Health or Armor. Gain a damage reduction during tiger leap and pounce.
· Repeated tiger leaps increase jump speed and enhance the Focus and attack of [Pounce].
· Non-Focus strike or Grappling Hook cannot interrupt tiger leap.
· Horizontal and vertical Strikes are enhanced as Tiger-Claw strikes during a Scale Rush or tiger leap.
· Can be used under attack.
· After casting the Ultimate, tap Ultimate to lunge forward, knocking enemies down to the ground and restoring some Health or Armor. Can be used twice.
3. Increased the damage multiplier of Ultimate [Feral Frenzy]'s 2nd-stage move against enemies with transformation traits from 0.1 to 2.0, with a recovery multiplier 1.6.
3. [Feral Frenzy: Lockdown] Tiger-Claw Scale Rush after climbing the banner can be charged. Hits knock enemies airborne with damage multiplier 2.5.
4. Skill [Roar: Terror] removed.
5. Ultimate [Feral Frenzy: Grab] removed.
//Dev Notes: Akos Hu's unique tiger leap and pounce mechanics had decent pressure and offense but lacked burst potential. We've added charged pounce to his lunging moves from [Feral Frenzy] and merged them with [Feral Frenzy: Grab], keeping the 2nd-stage and tap pounce performance from [Feral Frenzy: Grab] to boost his burst and flexibility.
The effect to knock enemies airborne of skill [Roar: Blast] after charging was difficult to initiate/continue combos in certain combat situations. We've changed the hit effect to the control effect [Terror], keeping the long stagger from tap releases for more stable hit effects and stronger initiative in Duos/Trios modes.
II. Wuchen
Adjusted Ultimate [Tai Chi Teleport: Blade Storm]:
1. Adjusted the blade storm effect after Ultimate hits enemies: Overall blade storm timing remains unchanged, but mid-sized spirit blades that could interrupt White Focus moves are changed to small spirit blades that cannot interrupt any actions. Large spirit blade count remains unchanged with damage changed from 2.1 to 1.6.
2. Slightly increased strike detection intervals for Sword Arrays when Ultimate misses enemies.
3. Increased Ultimate release interval from 6 sec to 8 sec.
4. Ultimate activation refreshes skill cooldown and grants new move [Spirit Blades·True Edge]
· Wuchen manipulates Qi to create 5 Spirit Blades, lasting for 60 sec.
· Tap Skill again to shoot the blades. Spirit Blades can clash with melee weapon attacks without reducing weapon durability.
· Hold Skill to charge Spirit Blades. Charged shots enhance stagger based on charge time and can interrupt Blue Focus moves.
· Can be used under attack.
//Dev Notes: Wuchen's [Tai Chi Teleport: Blade Storm] spirit blade pressure was too strong, while complete misses had poor returns. Missing left Wuchen without effective means to counter enemy Ultimates.
To fix this, we reduced the rewards from hitting and removed mid-sized spirit blades. As compensation for these changes, we're giving Wuchen a more powerful derived skill during his [Blade Storm] Ultimate.
We hope this change enhances interactivity between Wuchen's Ultimate and skills and creates more exchanges between Wuchen and enemies. For example, Wuchen can use his Spirit Blade to disrupt enemies attempting to evade Blade Storm, or charge Spirit Blades to stagger enemies, making it easier to land Blade Storm.
III. Tessa
Optimized Ultimates [Enchant] and [Enchant: Group Prey]:
1. Reduced Rage consumption at Ultimate release from 60% to 45%. If Ultimate hits, consume additional 15%.
2. Tessa gains [Foxfire] for 3 sec after her Ultimate hits a single enemy, for 4 sec if hits multiple enemies.
//Dev Notes: Tessa's whiff punishment was too severe. This change should reduce vulnerability windows after missing Ultimates for better experience while adding [Foxfire] to give Tessa combat advantages and enhanced survivability after successful hits. This helps her avoid getting overwhelmed by multiple enemies.
IV. Inor Wan
1. Slightly reduced startup frames for Thunder Lord ground Vertical Strikes; adjusted the ground Vertical Strike damage multiplier from 2.0 to 1.7.
2. Increased [Lightning Execution] damage multiplier from 3.3 to 3.6.
3. As Thunder Lord, after hitting enemies with [Thunder Mark] through ground or airborne Vertical Strikes, without jumping, dodging or other interrupting actions, automatically chains into [Lightning Execution] after a short time.
//Dev Notes: Thunder Lord executions no longer require follow-up inputs to complete execution animations. This makes executions easier.
V. Lannie
The following adjustments have been made to Ultimate [Tricky Bounce: Leap]:
1. Adjusted Trick Ball damage reduction at charge and release from 70% to 30%.
2. After releasing Trick Ball, if the ball is over 40 meters from Lannie, finisher moves will release at the current position without teleporting to the ball location. If within 40 meters, the effect remains unchanged.
VI. Cyra
1. Adjusted damage multipliers of level 1 and 2 pursuit beams from 1.5/2.5 to 1.3/2.3.
VII. Feria Shen
1. Adjusted the delay of Bronze Mech auto-repair from 3.5 sec to 5 sec and repair rate from 90 per sec to 60 per sec.
VIII. Temulch
Adjusted Ultimate [Storm Prison] to only allow Aerial Rush when equipped with melee weapons.
//Dev Notes: This adjustment prevents unnecessary interference when players use ranged weapons in sandstorms.
IX. Other Adjustments
Optimized cooldown times for certain skills in Duos/Trios modes:
1. Reduced the cooldown time of Takeda Nobutada's [Mythic Grab: Takedown] from 20 sec to 18 sec.
2. Reduced the cooldown time of Hadi's [Mechanical Arm] from 20 sec to 18 sec.
3. Reduced the cooldown time of Lyam Liu's [Magnet Attract] from 21 sec to 20 sec.
Souljade Adjustments
1. [Sap] and [Ripple Step & Phantom Step] adjusted from Epic to Legendary
Out-of-Game Adjustments
I. The Herald's Trial Ranked Team Restrictions Optimized
Removed rank difference restrictions when players at Solar I and below team up in Ranked Mode (Duos/Trios).
//Dev Notes: We want new and returning players to team up more freely in Ranked Mode. We'll continue monitoring impacts on the ranked environment and adjust as needed
II. Free Training
1. Hero combat training added for Temulch, Kylin Zhang, Cyra, and Lannie
III. Profile Background Optimization
Optimized the interaction of profile background equip screen and improved the visual effects of [Crimson Sky] and [Crimson Sky·Shatter] backgrounds from Champion Fight Point rewards. Equipping profile backgrounds now also replaces the overall background of the profile screen.
IV. Voice Pack Adjustments
1. [Purple Fairy Voice Pack], [Wukong Voice Pack], [Yang Jian Voice Pack], [Yueshan·Frontier General Voice Pack], [Kurumi·Envoy to Tang Voice Pack], and [Matari·Sogdian Dancer Voice Pack] are now available for all Outfits.
V. Fairyland Penglai Hero Adjustments
① Optimized Lannie's idle animations.
Rift Traversal Adjustments
I. New Rift Traversal Equipment
The hidden fist blades strike like a rainbow, shattering the sky with a single blow. The Fistblades is now a part of Rift Traversal!
New Celestia Fistblades: Septus
· Arcane: Septus Slash
Consume 5% of your Max Health with each strike that lands, applying Vulnerable to increase the target's hit damage taken by 1.5% for 3 sec. Stacks up to 7 times. While below 50% Health, this effect does not consume Health. Enemies with 7 [Vulnerable] stacks gain the Internal Injury debuff for 3 sec, taking damage if they dodge. If they do not dodge, a giant energy fist will crush them to the ground. Restores 15% Armor upon hitting an enemy.
New Legendary and Extreme Fistblades: Fistblades·Windclaw
· Extreme: Cloud Weaver·Borrow Force
Alters the 2nd stage of the Fistblades' charged Horizontal Strikes. If performed after a perfect dodge during Wild Sweep, it becomes a Golden Focus Strike.
New Legendary and Extreme Fistblades: Fistblades·Wild Cutter
· Extreme: Mistwalker
Greatly reduces Wild Sweep's Stamina cost and slightly increases its max charge duration. Each Wild Sweep grants 3.3% Attack bonus for 2.2 sec, up to 6 stacks.
Fistblades Rubrics:
· Tempest Kick: Alters Fistblades' 2nd-stage charged Vertical Strikes.
· Sky Punch: Alters Fistblades' crouching Vertical Strikes.
II. Out-of-Game Adjustments

Showdown Adjustments
I. Combat Adjustments
1. Optimized crosshair display and audio cues of the Bow martial skill [Void Destroyer] during 2nd-stage charges.
2. [Agnivat] Adjustments:
① Optimized the timing of [Agnivat]'s [Omni Core] summon and the cues for when [Agnivat] switches to her bow
② Added background music when [Agnivat] summons [Omni Core] and uses [Solar Ice Fall]
③ Increased damage multipliers for [Agnivat]'s [Omni Core], [Solar Ice Fall], and Dual Blades sprint move.
④ Adjusted [Agnivat] AI on Nightscream difficulty

① Reduced stagger from [Huanyue]'s tornado bullets in Stage I and adjusted bullet spawn timing
