Hero Revamps
Revamped Aulus (Buffed)
Aulus receives noteworthy upgrades in this patch, particularly regarding his Ultimate skill. The skill’s casting experience and visual effects have been enhanced, making him a more appealing character for players.
Skill 1 (Buffed)
- Aulus can now utilize Basic Attacks while channeling Skill 1 without interruption. This means players can maintain DPS while using his skill, further enhancing his combat potential.

Ultimate (Buffed)

Hero Adjustments
Bane (Adjusted)
Bane has received a complete redesign of his second skill — now called Sea Ink — aligning the visual effects with his lore. This change highlights MOONTON’s attention to detail and narrative consistency.
Harith (Buff)
The developers aim to transform Harith into a late-game ranged hero capable of dealing substantial magic damage. To achieve this, they have reduced his early-game damage scaling while adjusting his passive attributes.
Passive Attribute (Nerfed)

Skill 1 (↓)
- Dash distance has been scaled down from 3.5 to 3.1.
Skill 2 (↓)
- Damage has also been reduced to temper her combat effectiveness.
Terizla (Nerfed)

Skill 2 (↓)
