In this patch, we've made adjustments to some overly strong heroes and optimized a few underused heroes. We've also made changes in response to a growing trend in high-rank matches, where Fighters take the Gold Lane and Roaming Tanks take the EXP Lane. These changes aim to help the traditional heroes in both lanes reclaim their positions. We'll continue to monitor the impact of these changes.
Hero Changes(14)
A marksman who fights alongside Kupa and uses traps to control the battlefield. With this revamp, we aim to address the following issues and improve Popol and Kupa's overall gameplay experience: Popol and Kupa previously lacked mobility and had limited skill combo potential. To address this, we've enhanced their coordinated attacks and enabled Popol to ride Kupa to pursue enemies or retreat. Previously, Popol had to fight without his companion for too long after Kupa was defeated. To address this, we've enhanced Kupa's scaling and HP Regen.
Kupa's HP scales with Popol's level, and it inherits Popol's other attributes and equipment effects. Kupa continuously recovers HP while out of combat. If Kupa falls, Popol can pray to bring Kupa back to the battlefield. Kupa deals extra True Damage to creeps.
Popol throws a spear at the target enemy, dealing damage, and commands Kupa to lunge at the target and bite them, greatly slowing them. In Alpha Wolf Form, Kupa strikes the target area, knocking nearby enemies airborne and dealing increased damage.
Popol calls Kupa back to his side, gaining a shield. He can then ride Kupa to move rapidly, during which Kupa continuously recovers HP. In Alpha Wolf Form, Popol gains a stronger shield, and Kupa recovers to full HP while mounted.
Popol sets a trap at the target location that briefly immobilizes the enemy who steps on it. It then explodes and creates a frost zone that slows enemies within.
Popol and Kupa enter the Enraged state for 9s. Kupa immediately recovers to full HP and transforms into Alpha Wolf Form, gaining extra Max HP and enhancing his other skills.

System & Battlefield
Talents
Concussive Blast (~)
We found that an increasing number of roaming tank heroes are moving to the Exp Lane. In the early-to-mid game, they have stronger control and durability than most fighters, while dealing nearly as much damage.
We're reducing certain tank heroes' minion-clearing ability to bring fighters back to the Exp Lane.
Damage: 100 (+ 7% Total HP) >> 100 (+ 8% Total HP) (deals 50% less damage to minions)
Battle Spell
Sprint (↑)
Cooldown: 100s >> 75s
Mythical Honor Battlefield
Gold Lane Siege Minion (↑)
We've noticed that fighters have been taking over the Gold Lane in both high-tier Ranked and professional matches. To help marksmen farm faster, we've increased the Gold provided by the Gold Lane in the early game.
Extra Gold: 40% >> 60%
Battlefield Effects
Golden Turret (~)
We've noticed that teams that are behind have difficulty making a comeback with this battlefield effect. We've adjusted some values while preserving its unique features.
Base Turret's HP Increase: 1,000 >> 2,000
Team Gold provided by the Outer Turret: 100 >> 90
Team Gold provided by the Inner Turret: 140 >> 120
Healing Turtle (~)
We've noticed that the income from killing the Turtle in a lane was significantly lower than that from a minion wave, leaving the defending team at an additional economic disadvantage.
Therefore, we've significantly increased the Gold and EXP from killing an enemy Turtle. This income is shared among allied heroes within range and now roughly matches that of a minion wave.
