Revamp Hero

Faramis, The Alchemist

"We're making a few adjustments to Faramis' skill set."
Passive - Vicious Retrieval	Now only skill hits on enemy heroes will produce soul fragments. Faramis now also has increased absorption range, HP regen, and shortened respawn time.
Skill 1 - Shadow Stampede	Faramis can now move through obstacles in the Shadow state. He may also choose to actively leave the state to pull marked enemies toward him early.
Ultimate - Cult Altar	Faramis enters the Specter state and turns his surroundings into the Nether Realm for a while. Allied heroes who enter the Realm will also enter the Specter state. Heroes in the Specter state will gain extra HP and a burst of extra Movement Speed.

II. Hero Adjustments

The following uses BUFF ↑ NERF ↓ ADJUST ~ to indicate Buff, Nerf, and Adjustment.

Creation Camp

From The Designers

We noticed some players' custom gameplay was seriously imbalanced. To address this and improve your overall experience, we're adding a new Rating system and optimizing the display of lobbies with unequal team settings on the lobby list.

New Feature

Rating System

While we encourage you to design your own gameplay, please try not to use extreme configurations that will greatly affect the balance of the game, such as 100% cooldown reduction or 1000% damage. That isn't the fun gameplay we'd like to see.

1. You can like or dislike the gameplay at the end of each match.
2. Excellent gameplay and hosts that have received a certain number of likes will be highlighted on the lobby list.
3. At 00:00:00 (server time) every day, the most liked gameplay (top 100 or so) will be added to the Popular tab. The creators' names will also be displayed.

Optimizations

1. Added Voice Chat support to the lobby.
2. You can now invite players to your lobby via WhatsApp or Line.
3. Gameplay configuration and attribute adjustments are now displayed in matches.
4. You can now modify the lobby password and name with ease during lobby creation.
5. Optimized the logic of the Default button on the configuration screen. Now it only affects the current screen.

Options

1. Max Cooldown Reduction: (New) Allows you to adjust heroes' max Cooldown Reduction.
2. Max Attack Speed: (New) Allows you to adjust heroes' max Attack Speed.
