In this update, we've brought you revamped Karina - the most anticipated hero in the "Reforge Your Legend" event! We've also optimized the overall quality and gameplays of Alpha, Minotaur and Sun. Our equipment system has also been fully upgraded. To match the revamp of old equipment and the release of new equipment, we've changed theRoaming/Jungling Equipment in your Recommended Equipment. We believe that the equipment adjustments in the new version will help you choose equipment more easily and also provide you with more options so that heroes on each lane can better serve their purpose. Equipment Adjustments 1. Removed the pre-existing Roaming and Jungling Equipment. 2. Added Jungling Footwear. Jungling Footwear has the same attributes as Common Footwear but also the effects of Jungling Equipment. Killing 5 creeps can upgrade the corresponding Retribution skill. 3. Added Roaming Footwear. Roaming Footwear has the same attributes as Common Footwear but also the effects of Roaming Equipment. Collecting 600 Gold can unlock the corresponding advanced skill. 4. We've added 3 new equipment items: the War Axe that's well-suited for Fighter heroes, the Shadow Twinblades for Mage/Assassins, and the Radiant Armor that reduces sustained Magic Damage. 5. We've adjusted the values and logic of more than 20 pre-existing equipment items. In doing so, we hope that the functions and roles for each item are as clear as possible. Protection Points and Star-up Points Optimization We found that the players who have excellent performance and the players who tried their best to win their matches didn't get enough rewards, so we adjusted Star-up Points and Protection Points in this update.

System & Battlefield
Battlefield Adjustments
Damage Calculation Adjustments
- ◆
Minimum Physical/Magic Defense against enemy heroes: 0 → -60
- ◆
When both percentage and fixed-value Penetration are in effect, the algorithm will now prioritize the percentage before the fixed value.
- ◆
All heroes' Base Magic Defense increased by 5.
- ◆
Magic Penetration provided by "Arcane Boots" and "Genius Wand": 15 → 12
Equipment Purchase Adjustments
- ◆
Jungling/Roaming Equipment was replaced with Jungling/Roaming Footwear: Movement and advanced effects from Jungling/Roaming Footwear are exactly the same as those from Common Footwear; all that has been added are Jungling/Roaming-exclusive skills.
- ◆
New Restriction: Players can buy one Footwear item only. (If you are equipped with Retribution, you can buy Jungling Footwear only; in other cases, only common or Roaming Footwear is available).
- ◆
New Restriction: Players can buy one active equipment item only.
- ◆
New Restriction: All Footwear's selling price should be 20% of its purchase price (60% for other equipment).
Retribution
New Effect: If you are equipped with Retribution, your creep rewards will be greatly increased, while more minion rewards will be reduced. The minion reward reduction effect stops after 5 min.
New Effect: When your kills/assists and the creeps you killed add up to 5, a corresponding advanced skill (determined by the Jungling Footwear purchased) will be unlocked. When the number reaches 15, extra Physical Attack and Magic Power will be granted.
Common Skill of Jungling Footwear
Unique Passive - Hunter
Advanced Retribution
After purchasing the corresponding Jungling Footwear item, the original Retribution skill will be upgraded when your kills/assists and the creeps you killed add up to 5.
Common Skills of Roaming Footwear
Unique Passive - Devotion
Unique Passive - Thriving
Unique Passive - Blessing
Roaming Skills
Purchase the corresponding Roaming Footwear item and collect 600 Gold from assists or Roaming Equipment to unlock a skill. Continues to be enhanced until 1500 Gold is gained from Roaming Equipment.
Equipment Effect Adjustments
We've adjusted the requirements for triggering "Sea Halberd" and "Necklace of Durance" to increase the usage of equipment with Healing Reduction effects.
We've also lowered the price of "Sea Halberd" and removed "Deadly Blade" so that it is more fair for physical and magical heroes to decide whether to buy Healing Reduction equipment.
Guardian Helmet
We've optimized the build paths of the current two active equipment items to prevent them from being neglected for too long due to a lack of slots after they are built. To match the new build paths, we've slightly adjusted the attributes of "Wind of Nature"
Winter Truncheon
We've also made adjustments to balance the other equipment items so that they are more suitable for the circumstances heroes use them in.
Battle Spell Adjustments
Optimized the special effects of all Battle Spells.
Other Battlefield Adjustments
Jungling
We've also adjusted the rewards from killing creeps and enemy heroes to balance out the changes made to jungling equipment.
We hoped that junglers could have more time to reach Lv.2 in the early game before fighting the Lithowanderer and have more Mana to gank the enemy in the early to mid game, so we made the following adjustments.
match
Roaming
We hoped that roamers could reach Lv.2 more quickly and be more useful in the early to mid game, so we made the following adjustments:
Reduced the EXP required for all heroes to level up to Lv.2 and increased the EXP required to level up from Lv.2 to Lv.3, and the total EXP required remains the same.
Others
Miya, Nana, Alucard, Akai, Minotaur, Freya, Gord, Kagura, Estes, Aurora, Lapu-Lapu, Vexana, Gatotkaca, Diggie, Zhask, Helcurt, Pharsa, Jawhead, Gusion, Uranus, Johnson, Chang'e, Selena, Claude, Vale, Hanzo, Thamuz, Kadita, Guinevere, Esmeralda, Terizla, Ling, Lylia, Silvanna, Popol and Kupa, Luo Yi, Yve, Beatrix, Phoveus
System Adjustments
Protection Points and Star-up Points Optimization
Although players who have the best performance should receive the most rewards and honor at the end of a match, other players who try their best to win a match also deserve encouragement. Having spent a long time analyzing players' feedback and battle statistics, we found that these two types of players hadn't been rewarded properly, especially when the best-performing player among the ten players didn't win.
In this new update, we made the following adjustments to Star-up Points and Protection Points:
Star-up Points for the Winning Team:
7 Winning Streaks: 100 → 200
MVP: 50 → 100
Triple Kill: 0 → 50
Maniac: 20 → 100
Savage: 30 → 150
Legendary: 10 → 50
Protection Points for the Winning Team:
MVP: 50 → 0
Gold Medal: 30 → 0
Silver Medal: 20 → 0
Bronze Medal: 8 → 0
Protection Points for the Defeated Team:
MVP: 155 → 155
Gold Medal: 30 → 45
Silver Medal: 20 → 30
Bronze Medal: 10 → 12
Triple Kill: 0 → 50
Maniac: 20 → 100
Savage: 30 → 150
Legendary: 10 → 50
