In this patch, we're bringing lots of battlefield adjustments to make the battlefield events more clear-cut and boost Lord's presence in the very late game (after 18 min). You'll also be able to view the current battlefield mechanics in the revamped Battlefield Overview. In addition, we're optimizing some of the less popular heroes, emblem talents, and battle spells. Hero balance adjustments based on the M3 World Championship will also be hitting the Official Server in later patches. Wish you all have fun in the new version! <hr> Magic Chess Some newly released Little Commanders have been dominating the field lately. To keep them around the balance line, we'll be rolling out a series of balance adjustments to our previous Little Commanders starting from this patch.
Hero Changes(10)
Edith, the primal warden that watched over the sealed Evil Gods on Sanctum Island, will be available soon.
After each skill cast, Edith's Basic Attacks within a period of time will trigger chain lightning that deals damage to multiple enemies.
After a short delay, Edith controls Phylax to launch an earth-shattering blow in a designated direction, dealing damage to enemies hit and knocking them airborne.
Flight
Edith exacts Divine Retribution on a designated area, dealing damage to enemies hit and slowing them.
Edith controls Phylax to charge in a designated direction, dealing damage to enemies along the way. If Phylax hits an enemy hero during this process, it'll stop immediately and throw them over its shoulder.
Flight
Edith fires a Lightning Bolt in a designated direction and immobilizes the first enemy hero hit.
Edith ejects herself from Phylax, gaining a shield. She then dashes forward and takes flight, after which she can perform ranged Basic Attacks and gains new non-ultimate skills.

Battlefield Adjustments
New Map and Adjustments
The Celestial Palace that had floated high up in the sky for millennia crumbled after Gusion stole the Heart of Anima. Meanwhile, a mysterious island from the very depths of the Sea of Hope began to reveal itself from the blanket of fog... Sanctum Island is soon coming to the Land of Dawn!
From now on, the old map, Celestial Palace, is no longer available. New map, Sanctum Island, will be available soon.
Sanctum Island features a brand-new scene design, new creeps, and more exquisite graphics. We hope you'll like it!

Ability 1: Neutral Lord has 40%-15% Damage Reduction by default, which decreases when there are more heroes around (5% for each hero within 5 yards, reaches the minimum when there are 5 heroes around).
Ability 2: Summoned Lord grants nearby allied heroes a buff effect: Attack against enemy heroes deals extra Magic Damage. Cooldown 2s. (Similar to Orange Buff). This effect will disappear once the hero leaves Lord's vicinity.
Ability 3: Summoned Lord gains 5% Damage Reduction for each allied hero within 5 yards (up to 25%).

Creeps & Turrets
Orange Buff
The killer will also gain extra Penetration (10% for Marksman, Mage, and Support and 596 for Fighter, Tank, and Assassin. Gains Physical Penetration if the hero's extra Physical Attack isn't lower than their extra Magic Power, and Magic Penetration if otherwise) for the duration.
Inner Turret
HP increased by 200. If the Outer Turret is destroyed in the first 8 min, the corresponding Inner Turret gains 50% Damage Reduction instead of 40%. Lord: Optimized the rule of Lord's spawn time. The announcement will now appear after the Lord's spawn animation ends.

Talents
We're upping the numbers of some of the less popular talents to make them more desirable.
