Happy New Year, Champions!

It’s 2024 and time for our first major update of the year. Who better then to help us see in the year of the dragon than the legendary swordmaster himself, Kwang!

That’s not all though, as we’ve got the usual bunch of important Hero and Item balance changes alongside a fresh collection of new skins in the store.

V0.14 is also the penultimate major content release of Season 3. We’re excited to share more about V0.15 and our next original Hero very soon, so watch this space for more!

Let’s get to it!

A New Hero Joins The Fight

Whilst Energized, Kwang’s next basic attack strikes lightning from above dealing 10 (+4 per level) (+10% Magical Power) magical damage to the Target and nearby Enemies.

If Strike of the Heavens damages an Enemy Hero, Kwang reduces his basic ability cooldowns by 0.5s.
