Introduction

Greetings Champions!

With spooky season behind us at last we're gathering our winter warmers and getting ready for 1.2 ( and Winterfest 2025)!

1.2 is chock full of highly requested features and changes, from Arcshot Gateways ( our fancy new official name for the previously showcased Teleporters) to communication changes, UI overhauls to map adjustments, and more!

But that barely scratches the surface, so let's crack the whip and jump straight in!

New Hero: Yin - The Jade Serpent

Claim the storms and surge into action, with Yin, Predecessor's newest whip-cracking wind-running Hero!

Yin is a powerful yet agile Jungler/ADC hybrid, able to manipulate intense gusts of wind with a crack of her whip, turning her opponents' own attacks against them.

Stats:

Abilities:

Rising Storm [Passive]
Yin’s Basic Attacks against Heroes or Monsters grant her a stack of Rising Storm for 3s, stacking up to 8 times, with the duration refreshing on subsequent attacks.
Each stack grants 3/4/5/6% Bonus Attack Speed, for a maximum of 24/32/40/48% attack speed. Damage an Enemy Unit with Lash Kick grants 3 stacks of Rising Storm.

Silksong [Basic Attack] Melee basic attack dealing 56 (+85% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage.

Lash Kick [Primary] CD: 17/15/13/11/9
Cost: 80/85/90/95/100
Effect: Yin swings her whip 1350u, attaching it to Terrain or Enemy Units and pulling herself towards the location. Upon reaching her destination, she vaults off of it in her direction of choice. Enemy Units hit by the whip are Rooted for the duration of travel. When Yin vaults off of her Target, they receive 90/130/170/210/250 (+120% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage and are pushed in the opposite direction.

Windburn [Secondary] CD: 13/11/9/7/5
Cost: 60
Active: Yin extends her whip, increasing her Basic Attack range to 1100u and gaining 100% cleave for 6 seconds. Passive: Every third successful consecutive basic attack will deal 3/3.5/4/4.5/5% of the Target’s Maximum Health as bonus physical damage and heals Yin for (+10/13.5/17/20.5/24% Total Physical Power).

Backlash [Alternate Ability] CD: 9/8.5/8/7.5/7
Cost: 50
Effect: Yin cracks her whip dealing 75/115/155/195/235 (+100% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage to nearby Enemies and creating a sphere of pressure around her for 0.8s. If Enemy projectiles hit the pressure sphere, they are reflected towards the Source’s location.

Quelling Gale [Ultimate] CD: 130/105/80
Cost: 100
Effect: Yin summons gale winds at her location for 5s, granting Yin 10% bonus Movement Speed. Additionally, Enemies within the area are Slowed by 25%. Enemy projectiles that travel through the gale winds are halted and can be reflected with Backlash.

New Store Section - Extras

Some of you may know that for a while we’ve spoken about a new section of the store, specifically for smaller cosmetics and a place where you can use Amber or Platinum to pick up the little things you might be missing from your collection.

V1.2 will see this new section of the store, the new Extras tab, finally become reality - becoming the #1 destination for standalone effects, emotes and menu cosmetics.

Purchasing Variants

It’s now possible to buy Skin Variants outside of bundles for all new variants added to the game.

Currently only the new Wasteland Khaimera variants are available to purchase this way, but as time goes on more and more variants will be available this way too.

Note, you must own the base Skin that a Variant is based on in order to purchase a Skin Variant in this way.

Gameplay Changes

Basic Attack Projectile Speed Increases

Basic Attack projectile speed for all Ranged Heroes has been nearly tripled, creating a smoother and more responsive combat experience.

Buff Transfers

Certain Buffs will now be transferred when a Player kills an Enemy Hero possessing an active Red or Blue buff. These transferred buffs function the same as if you had acquired them normally but last for a slightly reduced duration.

Enhanced Recall

Mini-Orb and Orb Prime Buffs now grant their owners an Enhanced Recall effect, reducing the time it takes to Recall to Base from 8s to 4s for the duration of their corresponding Buffs.

Enhanced River Bugs

Rivers Bugs are fighting back, now growing in size and becoming stronger at the 21 minute mark. After they grow, they have increased durability and damage, but provide increased rewards and Buff effects when killed.

Other Improvements

Additional Hero Voice Lines

Shhhh! The Heroes are talking!

We've updated all Heroes with a range of new voice lines, which each trigger in reaction to various new in-game events and situations. This should give each Hero more personality while making them feel more alive and more firmly anchored into the heat of battle.

New Tower Danger Visual Effects

Towers now display their Attack Range via a snazzy new visual glow that surrounds how far they can shoot. Better still, the colour of this new glow will change based on tower’s aggression status!

Brawl Mode - Hero Freedom

Ever wanted to watch the world burn with a battlefield full of Iggy & Scorchs? You can now select multiple of the same Hero in Brawl, meaning your wildest fantasies of 5v5 all Phases, each yeeting one another into oblivion can play out.

Bug Fixes

Whew, that’s a lot, isn’t it? We hope that you enjoy playing with Yin again and that you’ll find these changes and improvements are impacting your experience for the better.
