 * Added new FX to indicate the hit area of the cone part of this ability.
 * This affects all skins.
 * Decreased the height of the animation of this ability while keeping the timings the same.

Assault
“''The New Assault map has brought a beautiful art set to Asgard, but we saw a lot of feedback about the new gameplay mechanics. The Vital orbs create a lot of fun moments and promote aggressive gameplay, but the amount of impact they had on a match was too high. We are decreased the amount of Health and Mana they restore as well as drastically slowing down their respawn timer to ensure that the way you play your god is still the primary key to victory.''”
 * Decreased potion restoration from 15% instant Health and Mana heal to 10%.
 * Increased potion respawn time from 1min to 2min.

Ichaival T3.png Ichaival
“''The updated Hunter bridge items from T2 to T3 had some exciting results. Hunters have more build variety than ever and are also feeling more impactful at earlier stages in the game. We did see one break case where Hunters could rush Ichaival and then win their lane handily. We are increasing it's cost to slow this strategy down and help make sure build diversity stays strong at all parts of the game.''”
 * Increased Cost from 2450 to 2600.

RuneforgedHammer T3.png Runeforged Hammer
“''This hybrid item has found a whole new life since its buffs at the start of Season 6. It brings an interesting effect to the Physical gods but currently been performing too well outside of its intended classes. We are happy to see the item being picked up on Assassins and Hunters, as well as the more expected Warriors, but there is always danger when DPS classes become too tanky. We are adjusting this item to keep its appeal to Solo Laners, but decrease its allure to Hunters and Junglers.''”
 * Increased Cost from 2300 to 2400.
 * Decreased Physical Power from 55 to 50.

BlackthornHammer T3.png Blackthorn Hammer
“''Blackthorn Hammer has become too cost effective for its price. The amount of Health provided, especially early, made this item difficult to pass up and allowed many gods to become tanky with minimal investment. We are lowering the Health provided to ensure it doesn't overshadow and stagnate builds.''”
 * Decreased Health from 450 to 350.

HastenedKatana T3.png Hastened Katana
“''At the end of Season 5 we saw the rise of Bakasura, and now through Season 6 the basic attack Assassins have reigned supreme. Even after some Bakasura nerfs, He and Kali have dominated the SPL, and Arachne has climbed to the most winningest god in the game in many metrics (believe it or not). To take these Junglers down a notch we are nerfing their key item a small amount. Hopefully this will promote a wider variety of gods in the Season 6 Jungle.''”
 * Increased Cost 2200 to 2300.
 * Decreased Attack Speed from 25% to 20%.

T Bastet Default Icon.png Bastet
“''As we continue to look for quality of life improvements and ways to polish up old gods, we have updated the targeting elements on abilities like Bastet's Declaw. This ability fires a line shot projectile but it detonates into a circle that wasn't previously conveyed. This will now be shown clearly, and similar treatments will be applied to abilities on Kukulkan and Scylla.''”
 * Icons Bastet A03 Old.png Declaw
 * Added a circle targeter element to the ability targeter to convey this ability's area of effect when it hits an enemy.

T Ganesha Default Icon.png Ganesha
“''Season 6 has progressed with many changes to the Duo Lane, but Ganesh has failed to find a spot in the meta. He is receiving a few different targeted adjustments to help him feel more impactful in a few different ways. The power buff from Turn of Fate is an interesting effect, but the duration being so short made it hard to make use of the buff. Ohm often caused confusion, where players often expected a protections buff to apply to all types of damage, yet Ohm only provided physical protections. Finally, Remove Obstacles is a narrow skill shot, and its damage is being increased to make sure it feels rewarding to hit.''”
 * Icons Ganesha A01.png Turn of Fate
 * Buff Duration increase from 3s to 4s.


 * Icons Ganesha A02.png Ohm
 * Now provides 20/30/40/50/60 Magical Protections as well as Physical Protections while channeling.


 * Icons Ganesha A03.png Remove Obstacles
 * Damage increased from 75/120/165/210/255 to 90/135/180/225/270.

T HouYi Default Icon.png Hou Yi
“''The Ricochet masters is receiving a major quality of life buff this patch to make his kit feel more fluid. Hou Yi will now longer be rooted while firing his ultimate, allowing him to keep moving and rotating while this ability deploys. This will give Hou Yi more ways to follow up his Ultimate.''”
 * Icons HouYi A04.png Sunbreaker
 * Hou Yi is no longer rooted and can move his camera freely while firing this ability.

T Izanami Default Icon.png Izanami
“''Izanami can clear a wave faster than nearly every other hunter, yet her Conquest viability has still been quite low. We are making Izanami more reliable across multiple aspects of her kit. She won't need to be at such a low HP % to gain full benefits from her passive, her CC will be more consistent, and most importantly, her movement ability will feel much more fluid! This should make her feel a lot better without the risk of overpowering the goddess.''”
 * Icons Izanami Passive.png Death Draws Nigh
 * Decreased the threshold of missing health to gain a stack from 15% to 10%.
 * This effect still caps at 20% Physical Penetration, but Izanami reaches the cap at 50% HP now instead of 25% HP.


 * Icons Izanami A02.png Spectral Projection
 * Changed slow duration to be 3s at all ranks.


 * Icons Izanami A03.png Fade Away
 * Lowered travel time from 0.6s to 0.5s.
 * Removed the brief self root at the end of this leap.

T Jormungandr Default Icon.png Jormungandr
“''The World Serpent has had a HUGE impact on the battleground. As the biggest god in the game he feels very different at the most core level. All our statistics and most community feedback show the god as slightly underpowered. He will be receiving some slight buffs and one large quality of life change. We want to make sure he feels good to play, without overdoing it, as many high level players do feel like he has strong potential in SPL and high ranks.''

''Jorm's basic attack damage is being increased to help him focus on one of his main strengths as a good, early game wave clear and pressure. His interaction between his abilities and Venomous Clouds is being adjusted to punish him less for proper combos. And finally, he is going to be allowed to refire his Bellow if it becomes interrupted. This ability will no longer give him a buff while firing, which makes the refiring consistent with other god abilities.''”
 * General
 * Increased basic attack damage from 9.6 + 0.64/lvl to 11.2 + 0.96/lvl.


 * Icons Jormungandr A01.png Venomous Haze
 * Consuming clouds with abilities now lowers the cloud duration to 8s instead of 5s.


 * Icons Jormungandr A02.png Consuming Bellow
 * Removed Damage mitigations while channeling this ability.
 * This ability no longer goes on cooldown if interrupted during the channel.

T KingArthur Default Icon.png King Arthur
“''Excalibur has continued to slay gods left and right, especially at the highest levels of play. King Arthur's Ultimate was designed to reward the Arthur player for building energy quickly, and to deal consistent damage to tanky and squishy targets, but it appears that this ability is still lacking in counterplay. This ability can also be escaped, even once the enemy is caught in Arthur's slashes, but the damage was too stacked onto the end of the ability, which is taken even when cleansed. These changes will shift the damage so that players who escape the ultimate will take far less damage than before, and with True Damage changing to Physical Damage will also decrease the total damage of the ability. This should make it easier to fight against King Arthur.''”
 * Icons KingArthur B A04.png Excalibur's Wrath
 * Increased Per Slash Damage from 10/20/30/40/50 to 10/25/40/55/70.
 * Increased Per Slash True Damage from 1.5% to 2%.
 * The Slash True Damage now deals Physical Damage.
 * Decreased Final Hit Damage and AoE from 60/135/210/285/360 to 50/110/170/230/290.
 * The Final Hit and AoE True Damage now deals Physical Damage.
 * Overall damage changed from 120/225/390/525/660 + 14/16/18/20/22% of HP True Damage to 110/260/410/560/700 + 17/19/21/23/25% of HP Physical Damage.

T Kukulkan Default Icon.png Kukulkan

 * Icons Kukulkan 01.png Zephyr
 * Added a circle targeter element to the ability targeter to convey this ability's area of effect when it hits an enemy.

T Scylla Default Icon.png Scylla

 * Icons Scylla A01.png Sic 'Em
 * Added a circle targeter element to the ability targeter to convey this ability's area of effect when it hits an enemy.
