Item Balance

5.20 is the patch that HRX competition games will be played on. We want to allow sufficient practice time for all pros to practice in the current meta. Some will be doing much more traveling than others. For this reason there are minimal balance changes in this patch. Hera is the only exception as she is not allowed in pro play yet.

  • No Item Changes.

God Balance

T Hera Default Icon Hera

Hera has graced the battleground with her presence and has been creating a great amount of community discussion. We specifically intended to avoid an OP release with Hera. It seems we succeeded but we went too far, and she is clearly undertuned.

Hera's focus going forward will be her control. As a divine leader, she has influence over others. We will be looking to buff parts of her kit that align with this theme, while also adding a few damage increases to bring her in line with other mages.

  • Icons Hera Passive Commanding Presence
  • Damage from Royal Assault and Polymorph also reduces the cooldown of Divine Shroud by 0.33s.
  • Icons Hera A01 Royal Assault
  • Increased base damage from 75/120/165/210/255 to 80/130/180/230/280.
  • Icons Hera A02 Polymorph
  • Polymorphed enemies are now Slowed by 20%.
  • Icons Hera A03 Divine Shroud
  • Fixed the in game description to accurately state how much shielding Hera receives.
  • Increased Shield Health from 40/80/120/160/200 + 15 Per level to 50/100/150/200/250 + 20 Per Level. (Maximum increased from 500 HP to 600 HP)
  • Icons Hera A04 Argus, the Defender
  • Increased deploy range from 55 to 65 units.
  • Increased maximum leash range from 85 to 125.
  • Increased Protections gained from 15/20/25/30/35 Physical Protections and 15 Magical Protections to 25/30/35/40/45 of both Protections.
  • Increased Argus' Health from 700/1275/1850/2425/3000 to 700/1400/2100/2800/3500 Health.
  • Increased Crash Landing Damage scaling from 35% to 55% Magical Power.
