In this patch, we've optimized some underused heroes to give them more opportunities to shine. This includes Hanzo, who has long been overlooked and is now getting a revamp. We've also slightly toned down some overly popular heroes. We hope these adjustments, along with optimizations to certain equipment, will create a more diverse and dynamic ranked environment.
Hero Changes(13)


Hero Feature: A ninja who combines Ninjutsu with Demon Blood, able to transform into Hanekage to reap enemies from afar before returning to safety. Hanzo's Ninjutsu has been refined. Even without his Ultimate, Hanzo's base form now has some combat capabilities. Hanzo no longer needs to accumulate Demon Blood to cast his Ultimate. Now Hanzo gains fixed energy when casting the Ultimate, and Hanzo's body becomes invincible when the Ultimate is active. We've also optimized Hanzo's normal skills to provide a smoother killing experience.

Damage dealt by Hanzo's Basic Attack or skills inflicts a stack of [Dark Ninjutsu] on the target, up to 5 stacks. Each stack of [Dark Ninjutsu] increases the damage of Skill 1.

The skill can only be used on targets with max stacks of [Dark Ninjutsu]. If the target is a Common Creep, Hanzo will immediately devour it and digest it over a period of time to recover HP. Deals Physical Damage to heroes and True Damage to the Turtle and the Lord.

Hanzo dashes in the target direction, leaving a Dark Mist in his path, dealing Physical Damage to enemies in the area and slowing them. The Dark Mist provides Hanzo with a Movement Speed boost.

Hanzo leaves his body behind (invincible during this period) and charges into battle as Hanekage with enhanced skills, consuming energy every second (can be reduced with Purple Buff). When nearby units die, Hanekage gains energy. When energy is depleted, Hanzo's body will gradually be pulled toward Hanekage's current position (Hanzo and Hanekage share the same HP).

When casting this skill again or when Hanekage is killed, Hanekage will quickly return to Hanzo's body (becoming untargetable and recovering a small amount of HP during the process). If Hanekage is killed, Hanzo will suffer a 50% Movement Speed reduction and have his position revealed for 6s.
