General

General

  • Base HP reduced by 10 for all heroes
  • HP per boon reduced by 3


  • Guardians scaling resistance from +75%->-50% over 12 minutes to +50%->-50% (takes more damage early)
  • Medium neutrals initial spawn time reduced from 6 minutes to 5 minutes
  • Breakables spawn time increased from 2 minutes to 3 minutes


  • Shrines are now invulnerable until one pair of Base Guardians are destroyed
  • Backdoor removal linger duration reduced from 20s to 14s


  • Knockup durations are now affected by debuff reduction


  • Removed two jump pads from around the middle of the map that point to outwards (to the left and right respectively)
  • Sliding no longer resets sprint speed


  • Stamina Regeneration is reduced by 25% for 5s after using a Wall Jump. This does not trigger when out of combat or when mantling soon after.


  • Bullet Velocity now stacks additively rather than diminishingly


  • Medic trooper heal duration increased from 2s to 4s (same overall heal amount)
  • When receiving multiple of the Medic trooper orb the duration will now be added ontop rather than stacking directly (so picking up 4 in a row will give the regen over 16s instead of over 4s, overall heal is the same just slower)
  • Medic Trooper heal increased from 12% missing hp to 13%


  • Fixed Parry FX not always matching state


  • Base Guardian Bullet Resistance increased from 10% to 20%
  • Shrine Bullet Resistance increased from 10% to 20%
  • Tier 2 Bullet Resistance increased from 25% to 35%


  • Midboss now starts spawned at the beginning of the game


  • Total Damage Reduction debuffs now stack diminishingly rather than additively ( Inhibitor, Fire Scarabs, etc)


  • Movespeed diminish point increased from 11 to 12 (very slightly less aggressive diminishing scaling)


  • Weapon Investment Bonus now has a 6.4k line, changed from 4.8k/7.2k/9.6k/16k to 4.8k/6.4k/8k/11.2k/16k with bonuses from 46/55/70/85 to 46/54/62/74/86
  • Vitality Investment Bonus now has a 6.4k line, changed from 4.8k/7.2k/9.6k/16k to 4.8k/6.4k/8k/11.2k/16k with bonuses from 38/42/46/50 to 38/42/46/50 (final two tiers shifted up by +4)
  • Spirit Investment Bonus now has a 6.4k line, changed from 4.8k/7.2k/9.6k/16k to 4.8k/6.4k/8k/11.2k/16k with bonuses from 38/48/57/66 to 38/45/52/59/66


  • Fixed various item barrier durations not scaling with duration increases
  • Walkers will interrupt a rocket barrage during the 1s windup if stomp becomes an option.
  • Fixed a bug where walkers were spinning while lasering.
  • Smoothed zipline grabbing to fix some jitter
  • Added ropes to zipline binding (so if a player rebinds zipline to something other than SPACE it will also apply to mounting/dismounting ropes)
  • Removed delay on ziplines when using alternative key binds



Soul Urn

  • We are experimenting with an alternate set of Urn mechanics. Please give us your thoughts on this after you've played with it some.


Primary Rules:

  • To pickup the Urn, rather than standing in place to channel, you now light or heavy melee the Urn to pick it up.
  • The Urn is now always dropped off on top of the bridge on the middle of the map.
  • Once dropped off, the Urn will go into a "Depositing" phase for a set amount of time, depending on which team the urn favors (3s/5s/10s for Favored/Neutral/Unfavored).
  • While in the Depositing phase, the enemy team can Heavy Melee the urn to have their team claim it and cause it to switch sides. This adds +1.25s to that team's timer.
  • If the urn is Favored or Unfavored (in a comeback state), then the Favored team will get +50% Bullet and Spirit Resist in a 60m radius around the urn while it is being carried, dropped or deposited.


Other Details:

  • After 35s (aggregate time held per team), the carrier will start taking 5% Max HP damage per second (previously was 45s and 0.15% Max HP damage).
  • Urn damage is lethal
  • Like before, when the Urn is fumbled, it will wait 13s if there is a player within 25m. However afterwards, with this new version, it can no longer be picked up anymore and will very quickly run back to its spawn position.
  • No longer silences you while carrying. You are still disarmed and movement silenced.
  • No longer grants +30% Bullet and Spirit Resist while carrying it
  • Area around deposting the urn is revealed (urn runner is also revealed as usual)
  • The rules for Favored/Unfavored remain the same (+15% soul difference for the first urn at 10:00, +10% for all future urns)
  • Souls are all instant after the deposit is complete
  • All rewards are the same. The last person to contest the urn gets the +3 Golden Idol buffs, falling back to the original carrier if nobody contested it.
