Early Access Patch v0.7

Patch v.0.7 is nearly here!

Patch Notes 17. Mai 2023

Summary

Patch releasing 12.00 GMT May 16th, 2023.

Greetings Champions! It’s time to talk about Content Update V0.7!

As the thick fog clears around a wrathful Forest, Morigesh is revealed as the next Hero joining the Predecessor roster!

We’re practically buzzing to talk about this deadly force of nature, but first we want to go into more detail about those oft-mentioned TTK changes we’ve been promising.

V0.7 represents the first half of the large sweeping changes we’re making to fully address the TTK (Time To Kill) issues we’ve identified in Predecessor. Specifically, this week we’re resting our sights on Crests, Minion Towers and XP issues.

For now our first goal is to decrease Crest sustain and lower their overall stats. This will allow us to create a Laning environment where committing to your abilities when trading feels more meaningful, as damage will carry more significance and force opponents to return to base more often.

Finally, we’re also taking the opportunity to review our last new Hero, Phase, after lots of valuable community feedback.

GENERAL UPDATES

TUTORIAL MODE

Alongside Morigesh, we’re excited to introduce the Tutorial feature in this update, marking our commitment to improving the onboarding experience for new players. This feature plays a vital role in helping new players familiarize themselves with the core and fundamental gameplay elements they need to succeed in Predecessor.

NEW SKINS

More skins are hitting the store including an Omeda Studios-original Corporate Enforcer Lt. Belica!

BALANCE CHANGES

Heroes

Kicking things off with Phase, we’re looking to increase the value of linking to your allied target by providing a scaling, more substantial power buff that benefits all Heroes.

CRESTS:

All crests will be receiving around a 50% decrease to healing and broadly speaking more equalization across completion times.

MINIONS:

With lane sustain decreasing on average, we can now lower the damage delivered by Minions so that trades between Heroes themselves feel far more meaningful.

BUG FIXES

The full list of bugs fixes included in this release will be added before or shortly after the game update is released.

That's all this week!
