Fighter Heroes Just Got Better

Key takeaways

• Roaming blessing nerf: solo farm penalty for roamers extended from 5 to 8 minutes — stay with your team early.
• Paquito gains strong minion damage scaling & damage reduction on enhanced skills — better laner now.
• Saber reworked for sustained damage: orbiting swords reduce skill cooldowns; less burst from items.
• Dire Hit now triggers from skills too, making it viable on skill-based roamers.
• Balmond's defense shred moved to Skill 2 (spin), making it easier to stack in extended fights.

Hero changes

• 
  Paquito↑Buff

  Enhanced skills now deal extra damage to minions (10–40% scaling with level) for better wave clear. Movement speed boost duration reduced (1.8s → 1.2s). Enhanced skills now grant a level-scaling damage reduction for 1.2s. Old 85% physical attack penalty on normal punches removed.

• 
  Marcel↔Adjust

  Base physical/magic defense and HP increased, but growth stats reduced (tankier early, falls off late). Basic attacks can now crit and partially benefit from attack speed; no longer reduce skill 1 cooldown. Gains high out-of-combat HP regen. Skill 1 immobilize removed; slow increased from 20% to 60% with higher damage scaling off defenses. Ultimate reverted: frozen enemies are untargetable again.

• 
  Saber↔Adjust

  Base HP, HP growth, and physical defense growth increased. Skill 1 base damage adjusted up but physical attack scaling reduced; costs less mana; orbiting swords now reduce skill 1 & 2 cooldowns on hit, but skill 1 has longer cooldown and shorter duration. Ultimate base damage increased at higher levels; physical attack scaling reduced, shifting away from pure one-shot burst.

• 
  Chou↑Buff

  Basic attack range slightly increased. Skill 1 back swing removed so basic attacks can be used immediately after cast. Ultimate cooldown slightly longer early but shorter at max level; late-game damage higher; second phase knockback distance shorter to keep enemies closer for follow-up.

• 
  Balmond↔Adjust

  Passive now heals on kills/assists but healing is lower. Skill 1 physical defense reduction removed and moved to skill 2 (each spin hit reduces enemy physical defense). Skill 2 movement speed boost no longer fades for better chase. Spin damage no longer stacks on repeated hits and can no longer crit.

• 
  Belerick↑Buff

  Skill 1 activation delay reduced from 1 second to 0.8 seconds, giving enemies less time to dodge.

• 
  Freya↓Nerf

  Ultimate HP regen from basic attacks reduced significantly in early game (from 40 down to 10 at base), making her easier to fight early-to-mid game.

• 
  Harley↓Nerf

  Skill 1 damage per card reduced at higher levels (210 → 190), lowering mid-game burst damage.

• 
  Hilda↔Adjust

  Base physical attack and skill 2 damage reduced (weaker early burst), but physical attack growth increased and skill 1 shield becomes stronger at higher levels (more durable late game).

• 
  Carmilla↑Buff

  Skill 1 damage significantly increased especially in early game. Passive adjusted: slightly less defense early but more later.

• 
  Minotaur↑Buff

  Skill 1 base damage increased. Enhanced basic attack deals more damage including during rage state, making him more threatening in fights.

• 
  Khufra↔Adjust

  Skill 1 deals less damage to heroes (especially early) but more damage to minions for better wave clear. Skill 2 cooldown greatly reduced for more frequent healing/sustain.

• 
  Lolita↔Adjust

  Skill 1 cooldown significantly reduced for more frequent engages. Skill 2 reflected projectile damage reduced from 100% to 50% reflection.

• 
  Atlas↑Buff

  Skill 1 cooldown is now a flat 4.5 seconds at all levels, allowing more frequent use especially early game.

Item changes

• Dire Hit↔Adjust

  Trigger condition expanded: extra damage can now activate from both basic attacks and skills, not basic attacks only. Benefits skill-based roamers.
