Advance Server Patch: Kaja, Ruby, Zhuxin, Ling Buffed

Key takeaways

• Revamped Kaja gets a major QoL buff: smoother Skill 2, faster lasso follow-up, and extended flight when hitting allies.
• Zhuxin passive mana restore buffed 4%→5%; Ruby Skill 1 scaling up — both underused heroes get meaningful improvements.
• Suyou, Leomord, Claude, Odette, and Masha all nerfed — early-game burst and sustain toned down across the board.
• Aurora early cooldowns cut (S1: 6s→5s, S2: 12s→10s); Ling gets lower energy cost + shorter S2 CD for better early game.
• Aulus damage shifted to flat level-scaling vs low-HP targets + longer S2 dash — better at finishing off enemies.

Hero changes

• 
  Suyou↓Nerf

  Skill 2 (both tap and hold versions) base damage reduced, weakening early-to-mid game burst and snowball pressure.

• 
  Kalea↔Adjust

  Enhanced basic attack base damage reduced in early game, but now gains extra damage scaling with hero level, shifting power from early aggression to late game.

• 
  Leomord↓Nerf

  Skill 1 bonus damage to creeps reduced from 60% to 40% (slower jungle clear); ultimate's hybrid defense bonus lowered in mid-to-late game (less tanky during dive).

• 
  Claude↓Nerf

  Skill 2 (Battle Mirror Image) cooldown increased, limiting repositioning, poking, escaping, and ultimate setups.

• 
  Zhuxin↑Buff

  Passive mana restore per Crimson Butterfly increased from 4% to 5%, improving mana sustain and rotation uptime.

• 
  Ruby↑Buff

  Skill 1 physical attack scaling increased on both slice and shockwave, improving poke, wave clear, and trading in lane and team fights.

• 
  Odette↓Nerf

  Movement speed during ultimate (Swan Song) slowed down — stronger slow applied — making her easier to catch and reposition against. Minor QoL: timing between two ultimate casts optimized to prevent accidental cancellation.

• 
  Masha↓Nerf

  HP recovery (feral regen) reduced; skill 2 cooldown increased and crit bug fixed; HP-overrecovery bug fixed; extra damage scaling shifted from target max HP to extra physical attack.

• 
  Kaja↑Buff

  Revamped Kaja: Skill 2 cooldown shortened and animations optimized for smoother control; turn speed limit reduced post-soar; cooldown now scales down at higher levels; hitting an ally extends flight duration. Ultimate lasso now follows Kaja faster for more responsive catches.

• 
  Aurora↑Buff

  Skill 1 cooldown reduced from 6s to 5s and Skill 2 cooldown from 12s to 10s in early-to-mid game, enabling more frequent poking and wave clear early on.

• 
  Ling↑Buff

  Basic attack speed increased for faster jungle clear; Skill 2 cooldown shortened and energy cost reduced, enabling more active early-game rotations and plays.

• 
  Cici↑Buff

  Passive stacks decay more slowly — loss interval increased from every 0.3s to every 0.5s — making it easier to maintain stacks during extended fights.

• 
  Aulus↔Adjust

  Enhanced basic attack damage shifted from target max HP scaling to a flat damage component scaling with hero level, improving finishing of low-HP targets. Skill 2 dash distance also increased for better chase.

• 
  Cecilion↑Buff

  (Mythical Honor battlefield) Passive max mana increase and mana regen per skill hit raised from 10 to 12, improving late-game scaling.
