T XingTian Default Icon New God: Xing Tian - The Relentless

T XingTian Default Card

Icons XingTian Passive Smouldering Rage (Passive)

Xing Tian gains stacks of Smouldering Rage each time he hits an enemy with an ability (max 12 stacks). For each stack of Rage Xing Tian has, he gains HP5 (+3). Stacks last 18s.

Icons XingTian A01 Furious Roar

Xing Tian shouts from his chest with great force, dealing 70/100/130/160/190 (+60% of his Magical Power) and reducing their Basic Attack damage by 30/35/40/45/50 for 1.5/2/2.5/3/3.5. Enemies take % of max Health as damage over time (+2.5% per second) as well. Cost: 55/60/65/70/75. Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11s.

Icons XingTian A02 Hook Slam

Xing Tian first launches an attack with his axe, knocking the opponents into the air before slamming them into the ground and rooting them for 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2s. Axe Damage: 30/50/70/90/110 (+25% of his Magical Power). Slam Damage: 60/100/140/180/220 (+45% of his Magical Power). Cost: 70/75/80/85/90. Cooldown: 18s.

Icons XingTian A03 Sky-Cutting Axe

Xing Tian leaps forward dealing 65/85/105/125/145 (+30% of his Magical Power) damage to enemies when he lands and may leap again within 2s. While in the air, Xing Tian has increased protections (10/20/30/40/50), which are refreshed if he connects with a target. Using another ability during this time cancels the additional leap. Cost: 65/75/85/95/105. Cooldown: 14s.

Icons XingTian A04 Whirlwind of Rage and Steel

Xing Tian spins his axe three times in succession, dealing 50/75/100/125/150 (+50% of his Magical Power) per swing and sweeping up his enemies before throwing them. Cost: 100. Cooldown: 100/95/90/85/80s.

Items

Blink 01 Blink

  • Fixed issue with camera momentarily getting stuck if blinking into a Janus Portal.

BluestonePendant T1 Bluestone Pendant

Bluestone Pendant was an item that offered Mana sustain instead of Health sustain. Unfortunately over the course of balancing it was either too potent or lackluster. This patch we are shifting the item away from a sustain focus. Instead, it will now augment ability damage users by providing a damage over time on enemies hit by abilities. The goal is to have a meaningful choice between waveclear and aggression, or sustain and defences for Physical users.

  • This item has been reworked.
  • +20 Physical Power, +100 Mana. Passive: Enemies hit by your damaging abilities take an additional 30 Physical damage over 2s (max 2 stacks).

  • Cost reduced from 2250 to 2200.

RunicShield T3 Runic Shield

  • Cost reduced from 2300 to 2250.

MailofRenewal T3 Mail of Renewal

Mail of Renewal is an interesting item that exists to help players persist during and after a fight. We have increased its overall effectiveness while making sure we kept the high end potential of this item from going out of control by making it refresh instead of stack in place. This should make the item more attractive overall.

  • Increased Cooldown Reduction from 10% to 15%.
  • Increased healing from Passive from 10% to 20%.
  • Passive now also activates on Objective Kills (Fire Giant, Gold Fury, Juggernaut, etc.).
  • No longer stacks. Upon a successful trigger it will refresh the current duration.

Creeping Curse Rank3 b Weakening Curse

100% healing reduction is a potent stat to have on an active. It's existance has limited the usefulness of gods with healing abilities, as well as trivializing items like Divine Ruin, Brawler's Beatstick and gods with anti-healing abilities. By removing some of the healing reduction from this item, gods with healing abilities should have a little more breathing room but can still be shut down through itemization and counter picks.

  • Reduced healing reduction from 100% to 65%.

HideoftheUrchin T3 Hide of the Urchin

  • Decreased cost from 2500 to 2400.

Gameplay

  • Fixed Banished players getting stuck on top of Medusa statues if created underneath them.

God Changes

T AoKuang Default Icon Ao Kuang

Ao Kuang was seeing very positive performances at the highest levels of play, but struggled in the hands of less experienced players. One of the biggest strengths at higher level play was the low Cooldown nature of Wild Storm. We have shifted some of the power away from this skill in favor of increasing the strength of Dragon Call. The goal is to balance out Ao Kuang over the multiple skill ranges he was being played at.

  • Icons AoKuang A02 Dragon Call
  • Increased base damage from 30/45/60/75/90 to 35/50/65/80/95 per Dragon.
  • Icons AoKuang A03 Wild Storm
  • Reduced Magical Power Scaling from 50% to 40%.
  • Increased Cooldown from 5s to 7s.

T Cabrakan Default Icon Cabrakan

  • General
  • Fixed missing shields at Victory screen.
  • Fixed a Basic Attack animation issue after attacking with Seismic Crush.

T ChangE Default Icon Chang'e

  • General
  • Fixed mute not applying when using skins that have the Rabbit speak.

T Fenrir Default Icon Fenrir

  • Icons Fenrir A03 Brutalize
  • Fixed ability not working on targets being pulled by Khepri.

T GuanYu Default Icon Guan Yu

Guan Yu is a Warrior who excels around being in a fight, shredding Protections, healing his team and dashing through targets. We wanted to reward him more for doing these things. His Passive will now also build stacks on dealing damage to enemy gods and the Cooldown on his dash was reduced. He should now be able to assist his team with more powerful heals and use his lower Cooldown to be in better positions.

  • Icons GuanYu Passive Painless
  • Guan Yu now builds stacks upon dealing damage to an enemy god, as well as receiving damage
  • Icons GuanYu A03 Warrior's Will
  • Increased Slow from 20% to 30%.
  • Reduced Cooldown from 14s to 12s.

T Hercules Default Icon Hercules

  • Icons Hercules A02 Earthbreaker
  • Fixed inaccuracies with ground targeter causing targets to not get knocked up.

T HouYi Default Icon Hou Yi

  • Icons HouYi A01 Ricochet
  • Improved highlighting accuracy.

T Janus Default Icon Janus

  • Icons Janus A02 Unstable Vortex
  • Improved highlighting accuracy.

T Khepri Default Icon Khepri

Khepri was brought much more into line with the recent changes, but we still saw him over-performing. By increasing the Mana cost of Rising Dawn increasing the Cooldown on Solar Flare, when you choose to save teammates will become a more impactful choice.

  • Icons Khepri A02 Rising Dawn
  • Increased Mana cost from 40 to 50/55/60/65/70.
  • Icons Khepri A03 Solar Flare
  • Increased Cooldown from 15s to 18s.

T Kumbhakarna Default Icon Kumbhakarna

Poor Kumbhakarna was underperforming across the board so we looked at some key aspects of hit kit. We brought up the damage and root duration of Groggy Strike as it was a very long channel for not much payoff. In a previous patch we split the damage from Epic Uppercut so that he could deal some more upfront damage but it reduced the Area of Effect damage of the landing. We like the split, but want to bring back some of the reward for hitting players with the landing of the Ultimate.

  • Icons Kumbhakarna A02 Groggy Strike
  • Increased base damage 50/90/130/170/210 to 70/120/170/220/270.
  • Increased Root duration from 1.5s to 2s.
  • Icons Kumbhakarna A04 Epic Uppercut
  • Increased landing damage from 225/300/375/450/525 to 250/350/450/550/650.

T Medusa Default Icon Medusa

  • Icons Medusa A02 Acid Spray
  • Updated the spray fx to be more accurate.

T Mercury Default Icon Mercury

  • Icons Mercury Passive Fastest God Alive
  • Increased additional power from 25% to 30% of his movement speed from items.

T Nox Default Icon Nox

  • General
  • Nox cannot be pulled from Khepri after she's used Shadow Lock on a target.

T Ravana Default Icon Ravana

  • Icons Ravana A03 10-Hand Shadow Fist
  • Increased Health Return from 15/20/30/45/65 to 15/30/45/60/75.

T Ymir Default Icon Ymir

  • Icons Ymir A01 Ice Wall
  • Fixed ranks 2 and 3 being 1s shorter than stated.
