[YouTube Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9rnRLfxI6o) ### ABILITIES: **Gladiator [Passive]:** Upon entering combat, gain a stack of Gladiator when dealing damage with basic attacks or abilities to enemy Heroes or Monsters, stacking up to 8 times. Each stack grants 1% increased physical power. After exiting combat, stacks will fall off over 5s, restoring 0.5/1/2/3% (levels 1/6/11/16) of Zarus’ maximum health per stack consumed. **Thrust [LMB]:** **Cleave:** 10% **Range:** 375 **Effect:** Melee basic attack dealing 54 (+80% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage. **Barricade [Q]:** **Cooldown:** 22/20.5/19/17.5/16 **Cost:** 80 **Effect:** Unfold your shield for 1.75s, reducing incoming damage by 60/65/70/75/80%. Upon recasting or after the duration, swing the shield dealing 55/75/95/115/135 (+100% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage, increasing up to 110/150/190/230/270 (+200% Bonus Physical Power) based on duration, and Stunning targets hit for 0.5s. **Evade [E]:** **Cooldown:** 16/15/14/13/12 **Cost:** 40 **Effect:** Dash in your current movement direction, gaining 15% movement speed for 1.5s and 20% Attack Speed for 4s. **Spear of Nyr [RMB]:** **Cooldown:** 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 **Cost:** 30 **Effect:** Channel to throw a spear, dealing 70/100/130/160/190 (+110% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage to targets hit. Releasing within 0.3s will thrust the spear forward, dealing the same damage and refunding half the cooldown. Damage increases by 100% against targets below 20% maximum health. Deals 75% damage to Minions. **Coliseum [R]:** **Cooldown:** 120/100/80 **Cost:** 100 **Effect:** Leap at an Enemy Hero, dealing 150/235/320 (+150% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage. A large Coliseum is summoned for 6s and the bonus from Gladiator is doubled. If the target is killed within the duration you will permanently gain 6/8/10 Physical Power. You may recast this ability to end it early. ## Balance changes ### Heroes #### Countess _Countess’s reliance on acquiring passive stacks to succeed in a match is a double-edged sword. It means she tends to function less reliably in low-kill games while conversely has the potential to snowball out of control and become a healing menace should she “feast” too heavily on her opponents. Stripping back on the Magical Lifesteal available in her Passive and redistributing it into her Ultimate will ensure Countess is less tied to her early kills to thrive, and won’t run rampant quite as easily, especially when building tanky._ #### Blood Tithe [Passive]: ◆ Magical Lifesteal per stack decreased from 1.5% to 1%. #### Eventide [E]: ◆ Damage increased from 80/120/160/200/240 to 85/125/165/205/245. #### Feast [R]: ◆ Percent Healing increased from 45% to 50%. #### Gadget _Gadget possesses an incredible amount of hidden utility due to the amount of Magical Armour Shred present on her Ultimate, which frequently enables heavy Magical Damage compositions to succeed beyond the norm. Like Drongo before her, we’re stripping back the Shred Duration to ensure its strength is isolated more to Gadget’s individual burst rather than her team, while also shifting some strength away from spammable waveclear and into her Sticky Mine to better reward her for singling out a target._ #### Sticky Mine [Q]: ◆ Magical Power Scaling increased from 70% to 75%. #### Seek & Destroy [RMB]: ◆ Cooldown increased from 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 to 12/11.5/11/10.5/10. #### Tesla Dome [R]: ◆ Shred duration decreased from 5s to 3s. #### Greystone _The ‘Stone hasn’t been quite living up to his potential as of late, especially in the Offlane where he loses out to many opponents and struggles to come online. To help give him an edge, we’re bumping up his general strength in the early game to help him hold his own in lane, while also doubling down on his unique capability to block-basic attack by bolstering his Deflect capabilities in the late game._ #### General: ◆ Base Health increased 620 to 645. ### Bug fixes ◆ Fixed a bug where Frostguard’s stacks would immediately be removed if the enemy walked outside the Aura. ◆ Fixed an error with Frostguard’s Item type. No longer states “Slowing Aura”. ◆ Fixed a bug where Mutilator’s enhanced ability proc would not scale down with On-Hit modifiers.
