Lore
While the rest of her kind have fled into the Burrows under the Enchanted Forest to avoid the war raging across the Realm, Moji took it upon herself to use her Leipori magic to fight for the world’s chance to recover. However, after Yagorath threatened the heart of her home, Moji realized she couldn’t wait for the healing process when her friends were in danger. Channeling all her energy into this new purpose, she returned to battle to support those in need. Riding atop her trusty familiar, Po-Li, she unleashes a befuddling mix of brilliant healing on her friends and a glimmering maelstrom on everyone else.
Role: Support
Health : 2400

Stories travel far and come from Realms familiar and unknown, as Feudal Fables emerges as our latest Event Pass, harmonizing Japanese folklore with European fairytales for a truly mythical experience.
Red Ridin' Moji embodies the little girl who conquered her fears, riding atop an Okami she now considers her friend. The recolor further leans into the visual style one would expect from a Big Bad Wolf and a lost grandchild.
Meanwhile, Shrine Guardian Furia embraces a vision of a Pyre devout to defending the gateways between Realms, carrying with her a sword capable of banishing demons. These two skins and their recolors join a whole suite of themed cosmetics available in this Event Pass!
General Updates
Skin Recolor Selector
Those familiar with the Radiant Stars skin line will remember a color selector system that allows players to select from a range of recolors of a single skin. Starting in this update, we’ve expanded this tech to more Champions across the game, both to tidy past collections as well as make room for future ideas. Here are the Champions & Skins being put under this tech:
Default Androxus

New Player Questline
It’s been a long while since we revisited how players are onboarded into Paladins so we wanted to both make it easier for players to hop into the Realm as well as have a more obvious path for them to follow to get to know the game. As such, we’ve added the following Quests:
Play 3 Matches of Siege Training
- In the Training Tab, learn Siege Basics
- Reward: 1250 Gold
Play 2 Training Onslaught and Team Deathmatch
- In the Training Tab, learn additional modes
- Reward: 1250 Gold
Reach Level 5 (or equivalent XP)
- Play Training Matches & Learn Champions
- Reward: 1 Free Champion Token
Make a Loadout
- Create a Card loadout
- Reward: 25 Crystals
Reach Level 20 (or equivalent XP)
- Unlock Ranked
- Reward: 1 Free Champion Token
These quests will be available for all players, not just new players, starting in the Feudal Fables update! For those above Level 5 & 20, those quests will instead ask you to earn the amount of XP those levels take a new player. This basically means we’ve given every player a way to earn 2 free Champions, and all new players have a quick path to earning whichever Champions they enjoy most after experimenting in the Shooting Range & Training matches. We also are making the following Champion price reductions to make expanding your Champion collection more approachable:
30,000 Gold/200 Crystals down to 15,000 Gold/100 Crystals
- Sha Lin
- Tyra
- Torvald
- Inara
- Willo
- Zhin
- Lian
60,000 Gold/300 Crystals down to 30,000 Gold/200 Crystals
- Moji
- Koga
- Dredge
- Imani
- Atlas
- Io
Ranked Requirements
After watching the launch of Season 7 & hearing feedback from players, we’ve decided to also make a change to Ranked requirements alongside improvements to the player onboarding experience. Starting in Feudal Fables, players will need to be account level 20 to enter Ranked. While that may not sound like a significant increase from level 15, the XP between 15 and 20 is an additional 75% of what it takes to get from 1 to 15. That means players will have to play significantly more to enter Ranked and will still be required to hit the Champion ownership requirement. We’re looking forward to continuing to watch the queue as we continue Split 1 through Feudal Fables & Split 2 will arrive in the following update!
New Limited Time Modes
Truly Talented | May 24th - 27th
Explore a whole new selection of Talents from the games' past as well as some never released before! This LTM puts players in Siege with a limited cast of older Champions who have access to removed/broken/not even finished Talents at their disposal. From Firing Line Khan to Cursed Revolved Androxus, there are many infamous builds returning exclusively in this mode so check it out while it’s around!
Caut Lacking | May 31st - June 1st
Anti-Healing is a mechanic in the video game Paladins…but in this LTM, not how you've come to know it. All Champions have 35% Anti-Healing applied to them throughout the match passively and Rejuvenate is completely off limits. Instead of having players theorize what the game would be like or not, we decided to let you have a glimpse into this alternative reality.
Balance
Items
Armor Plating
Increased price per tier from 275 ➡️ 300
Lethality
Increased duration of effect from 3.5s ➡️ 5s
Sentinel
Reduced price per tier from 225 ➡️ 200
Zitat:
The Item Shop since Season 7 has been getting closer to a state we’re happy with, however we still feel the pacing of matches has been a bit slower in the middlegame than we’d like. Armor Plating is a strong Item, but rather than make it Haven’s weaker cousin we’d rather keep it distinct and make it costly like another impactful Item Chronos. This should help matches have a bit more push and pull between objectives and pressure those who want to live a tanky fantasy to invest more. Alongside that, Sentinel is a bit too pricey for players to feel comfortable picking it up for only 1 of its 2 effects, so now it’s equal to Unbound and those who benefit from both are getting a bargain. Lethality is also the only Item on a different Elim timer, which makes its synergy lower and unnecessarily limits its fun, so it is being brough up to 5 seconds of speed!
Support Balance Pass
This update alongside Moji, we wanted to tackle a common discussion point among the community: Support Identity and Healing. Supports have always been one of the most variable classes in Paladins, mainly due to the fact that they entered the game at a later stage & healing is a powerful effect when combined with coordination and build crafting. We’ve tried a lot of solutions over the years, from passive Anti-Healing to Support Keywords, each with their own lessons. In this balance pass, our goal was to preserve everything players enjoy about Supports currently, while refining them to feel more distinct and in general heal slightly less than they have the past year. This shouldn’t significantly change the TTK or general loop for most Champions, however some Supports saw more extensive changes to help the entire class feel aligned in strength.
Corvus
Officer’s Pistol
- Damage increased from 74 ➡️ 75
- Fire rate decreased from .07 ➡️ .075
Abyssal Reconstruction
- Reduced burst heal at end from 800 ➡️ 700
Zitat:
Corvus has always been a very powerful pocket as well as defensive duelist. His Pistol can deal some of the highest DPS in class if wielded properly, however he also is not as sturdy as other options. We slightly shifted his weapon to deal more damage at a slightly slower rate, leaving it feeling nearly identical but averaging his output a bit. In addition, we’re slightly toning down the burst heal at the end of Abyssal Reconstruction to ensure he stays focused on balancing his Mark & keeping allies alive long enough to get the burst.
Furia
Pyre Blade
- Damage increased from 315 ➡️ 330
Kindle Soul
- Decreased healing over time from 400 ➡️ 300
Wings of Wrath
- Damage per orb increased from 200 ➡️ 300
Zitat:
Furia has seen a lot of changes over the past 2 years, with that in mind we aimed to not shift her too much compared to others in the class. Her damage output is being restored to her values prior to Keywords, but we’re rolling back one of the healing buffs she received to make sure she’s not too strong at both options. Wings of Wrath has often had its damage output ignored, so we’re giving it a significant bump in lethality to encourage aggressive usage. With these changes, Furia should remain a strong hybrid healer option that relies on acting in specific moments to help swing fights.
Grohk
Lightning Staff
- Damage increased from 65 ➡️ 70
Healing Totem
- Healing decreased from 380 ➡️ 325
Zitat:
Grohk’s totem change surged him to the upper bounds of what Supports could output in healing, and while we feel his Totems should stay potent, we want to tune him down alongside others to keep his identity as a deployable-focused Champion with Talents allowing for pocket and core healing options. His damage is also being brought up to its pre-Keywords state, allowing him to still hold his own when caught in fights & Maelstrom meant to only push him over the top of certain breakpoints.
Grover
Rampant Blooming
- Removed Curative
- Increased initial heal from 300 ➡️ 400
- Increased heal over time from 200 ➡️ 250
Ferocity
- Removed Surgery
Deep Roots
- Removed Remedy
Throwing Axe
- Damage increased from 350 ➡️ 385
- Max damage over distance increased from 700 ➡️ 770
Crippling Throw
- Damage increased from 425 ➡️ 450
Blossom
- Passive healing reduced from 75 ➡️ 70
- Activated burst healing reduced from 600 ➡️ 500
- Activated healing over time increased from 285 ➡️ 350
Whirlwind
- Initial cost on activation increased from 40 ➡️ 50%
Zitat:
Grover has seen himself grow beyond his aggressive hybrid roots to a stint as the go-to core healer for a lot of compositions, and while we feel that playstyle should be an option, it has proven very potent. Alongside the removal of his Keywords, we’re adjusting Blossom further down to push Grover to not rely as much on the passive healing & instead look for the best moments to burst his allies. His Ultimate has also been strong in the hands of skillful players, consuming portions while holding onto charge for multiple small bursts throughout the match. We want to reward this aspect of his kit but expect players to do so in the most optimal moments, so we’re raising the cost on initial activation. His Axe is also seeing a buff to its base damage, which scales quite nicely over distance to give him strong zoning. Ferocity can now hit people for 1000 damage if Grover is smart about his placement while still supporting his team.
Io
Light Bow
- Damage increased from 400 ➡️ 425
Moonlight
- Decreased healing per tick from 150 ➡️ 135
Guardian Spirit
- First & second hit damage increased from 180 ➡️ 200
- Stun cooldown decreased from 18s ➡️ 15s
Begone
- Damage on collision increased from 800 ➡️ 1000
Zitat:
Io is experiencing one of her strongest moments since her Dog Cap era, and while we want Luna to feel like an integral part of her kit, the combination of her healing output with Moonlight has led Io astray from her hybrid background. We’re bringing Moonlight back down to act more as a supplement to Luna’s healing and have given both Moonlight Bow and Guardian Spirit damage buffs. More than ever before, Io’s game plan should be to place Luna down and support her as she both dishes out damage and heals her allies. Begone has also had some underwhelming moments whenever not used to toss players off ledges, so we’re giving it some more oomph on impact to let Io use it more aggressively.
Jenos
Astral Cycle
- Original effect integrated into base kit at Level 2.5.
- New effect: When applying an Astral Mark, grant the target 4|4% Movement Speed for 6s
Retrograde
- Original effect integrated into base kit at Level 2.5
- New effect: When applying an Astral Mark, grant the target a 40|40 Shield for 4s
Binary Star
- Damage increased from 360 ➡️ 400
Astral Mark
- Cooldown decreased from 7s ➡️ 6s
- Duration increased from 11s ➡️ 12s
Void Grip
- Now deals 200 damage on cast
- Damage over time reduced from 360 ➡️ 200
Zitat:
Jenos has been struggling to keep up with his other Supports in both healing output and utility, mainly due to his reliance on Cards. We are flipping the astral script on him by putting Astral Cycle and Retrograde into base kit as midpoint buffs to his Astral Mark, giving some breathing room in how he manages his team and their mark status. These cards instead will now offer Jenos new utility in Shields and Movement Speed to allies on initial cast, meaning Jenos can choose either bounce Marks across his team for optimal healing, or focus a single ally to consistently provide impactful pocketing. Void Grip has often been frustrating for players caught without an escape, but those with one basically go unaffected by the ability. To encourage Jenos to grip whoever he wants to, we’re shifting some of the damage into the initial grab so even the slipperiest of foes have a downside. Finally, Binary Star has long gone feeling weak compared to other damage boost Talents in the Support class, but no longer as it is seeing its damage brought back to one of its peaks.
Lillith
Health
- Base HP reduced from 750 ➡️ 500
- Blood HP reduced from 2500 ➡️ 2000
Blood
- Lillith now gains 750 Blood anytime a Blood Hexed ally gets an Elimination.
Blood Hex Blood Regeneration
- Hexing enemies regenerates Blood at 20, scaling by 10, cap of 210 every .5s (previously 12, scaling by 2, cap of 92 every .25s)
- Hexing allies regenerates Blood at 40, scaling by 10, cap of 230 every .5s (previously 55, scaling by 12, cap of 295 every .5s)
Heart of Crimson
- Increased damage from 625 ➡️ 650
Blood Hex
- Increased damage from 1.5% every .325s ➡️ 1.25% every .25s
- Decreased healing scaling from 25 per tick ➡️ 20 per tick.
Swarm
- Blood cost now scales based on charge from 500 at base to 800 at max charge.
- Reduced Stage 1 Swarm from 75 damage | 55 healing ➡️ 60 | 50
- Reduced Stage 2 Swarm from 105 | 105 ➡️ 90 | 70
- Reduced Stage 3 Swarm from 160 | 125 ➡️ 150 | 110
Death Wings
- Blood cost reduced from 350 ➡️ 280
Blood Canon
- Reworked to “Increase your Blood Health by 50|50.”
Enriched Blood
- Reworked to “Increase the duration of Swarm by .25|.25s.”
Overflowing Delights
- Removed penalty to Swarm cost on Card, now reads “Increase the Radius of Swarm by 2|2%.”
Symbiotic Relationship
- Reworked to “Allies gain 5|5% Lifesteal when standing in your Swarm.”
Wings of Terror
- Reworked to “Increase the radius of Death Wing’s reactivation by 8|8%.”
Cursed Accord
- Reworked to “Your Blood can regenerate to full out of combat. Blood is gained out of combat twice as fast.”
Zitat:
Lillith is by far one of, if not the most, complex Champions in Paladins. This is both what makes her fascinating to master, but frustrating to fight when she will not die and can seemingly place infinite Swarms. Her Blood System has flaws for both herself and enemies that didn’t make sense compared to her peers, so we’re revising it to feel a lot more approachable yet still unique. Her Health values are coming down, so while she’s still top of class in HP she’ll be asked to be careful about casting more often. Blood Hex’s damage and Blood regeneration have both been slightly adjusted, making them more consistent and intuitive while still incentivizing allied casting. Death Wings is now cheaper but stays proportionally similar as to before, while Swarm is seeing significant changes. Her charge meter will now cost her more Blood as she charges it, and the overall effectiveness has been brought down to encourage her to either focus on weak but plentiful placements or large impactful ones. Her Cards were also a source of wild variance and complication for her that while interesting, led to too many balance states for players to account for. We’ve reworked various cards to normalize her healing and damage output on Swarm, while offering new effects to augment them instead that will feel right at home for Support players.
Mal’Damba
Spitting Cobra
- Damage increased from 400 ➡️ 425
Mending Spirits
- Healing increment slowed from .125 ➡️ .16
- Heal length increased from 2s ➡️ 3s
- Cooldown decreased from 3s ➡️ 2.5s
Zitat:
With our previous changes to Mal’Damba, we sought to make him a bit closer to his contemporaries in ability to sustain teammates while preserving his unique balance of healing versus utility. We heard feedback from those who miss the ability to stack his spirits more actively, so we’re partially moving him back to the slower ticks over time but lowering his cooldown so he can stay just as active while still getting to stack his effects.
Pip
Mega Potion
- Removed Remedy
- Removed Surgery
Combat Medic
- Removed Curative
Zitat:
We removed his Keywords. Oh…suppose we should write more than that! Pip has always been in a pretty stable spot, sporting build diversity on all 3 Talents and never falling too far behind of the pack. When approaching this pass, we waivered on whether he need changes but after testing, he felt right at home among all his peers as a versatile option for almost any composition especially with the wider shifts. We’ll continue to watch him after and see how he holds up!
Rei
Sigil
- Damage increased from 450 ➡️ 475
Chain Heal
- Healing per bounce decreased from 600 base |780 for a linked ally ➡️ 550|715
Extension
- Reworked to “Chain Heal now has 2 charges, but travels 25% slower.”
Zitat:
Rei’s goal has always been a nice mixture of light team healing and pocketed buff effects, so while we are adjusting her damage and healing similar to others in the class, our main focus is on enabling her expression through Talents and Cards. Extension is getting a rework that makes it a proper healing uptime Talent, while adding a bit of nuance to how she can utilize her chains.
Seris
Rend Soul
- Damage per stack increased from 90 ➡️ 100
Restore Soul
- Seris now has 20% Damage Reduction during the duration
Agony
- Description updated to “For each stack of Soul Orb detonated by Rend Soul, Restore Soul heals an additional 5% True Healing (excluding Healing disable effects) up to 25% for 10s.”
Convergence
- Damage increased from 10 (unlisted) ➡️ 200
Zitat:
Seris’s foresight may have seen this coming, but we felt it time to address her lackluster performance at higher levels. Rend Soul is a potent ability that has a lot of customization giving strength, but we wanted to make those stacks hurt a bit more when detonated. Restore Soul struggles at higher levels of play due to the tradeoffs of a channeled heal can have, so we are giving Seris some DR during the ability to make up for it. Convergence has always had a little tap of damage on the pull, but now it’ll instead deal enough to offer some interesting breakpoints in burst options. As we explored the Support class, we discovered Agony is actually functioning very differently than we expected. Instead of adjusting it to the listed effect, we feel the actual behavior is more interesting and viable than the prior description, so we are instead updating the description to guide players better.
Ying
Life Exchange
- Healing decreased from 800 ➡️ 700
Illusory Mirror
- Damage per shot increased from 90 ➡️ 100 (450 ➡️ 500)
Illusion
- Healing decreased from 450 ➡️ 400 (100 ➡️ 80 per shot)
Zitat:
Ying has settled a bit down since her brief time with Anti-Heal immunity, but we wanted to still push her to be a bit more aggressive in how she generates her Ultimate and ask her to be a bit more active in Illusion placement to keep her team alive. Life Exchange is how many players utilize her in a single-healer composition but also was providing a little too much value for such high uptime. We want to watch how she performs across her Talents and gauge her identity moving forward as both a core healing option as well as her more aggressive playstyles, while keeping her focus as an Ult centric Support.
Champions
Saati
Pips
- Saati now also generates 1 Pip for every 3 successful Hand Cannon shots.
- Passive Pip generation decreased from 2.65s ➡️ 3s.
- Old fire rate increase integrated into base kit regardless of Pips.
Hand Cannon
- Firerate increased from .55s ➡️ .5s
- Effective range increased from 80 ➡️ 90 units.
- Max range increased from 190 ➡️ 225
Ricochet
- Now costs 3 Pips
Blast Back
- Now costs 5 Pips
Spare Change
- Replaces Heads or Tails, new Default Talent
- Effect: Ricochet costs 2 Pips & generates 1 Pip for every 4 hits off of Ricochet.
Improvised
- Now is Saati’s Level 2 Talent
Window of Opportunity
- Now is Saati’s Level 8 Talent
Zitat:
Our resident trickshot has had a tumultuous history with her Talents and pip economy. She’s bounced between being a fun spam queen to an infuriatingly experience lacking any autonomy in how she maintains uptime on her abilites. This is only compounded by the fact that she isn’t allowed the holy grail that is Chronos, making her pips feel less like a boon and more like a curse. We wanted to take a look at her pip system similar to how we did for Lillith’s Blood above, and have made adjustments to make her feel more active and purposeful with how she hits her next claim to fame. Pips now regenerate whenever Saati hits an opponent, their shields, or her Ricochet - meaning she should weave it into her normal gameplay to increase her access to other abilities. Costs for Ricochet and Blast Back have gone up to accommodate the new economy, as well as her passive regeneration slowed to emphasize this new mechanic. As a part of this, Heads or Tails has struggled to find a healthy identity so we wanted to make a Ricochet Talent more focused on rapid uptime of abilities as opposed to overtly buffing the coin.
Skye
Smoke and Dagger
- Reduced healing from 150 ➡️ 100
Zitat:
Skye has swung a lot up and down after the Illuminate changes earlier this year, but we feel she’s close to a healthy spot now. Smoke and Dagger is an outlier after its buffs, however, as it allows certain compositions far too many opportunities to sustain themselves even when their Support falls. We’re reverting this healing buff to curb this and ask her to invest more in Cards if she wants to cover her team as best she can.
Omen
Fixed an issue where Aphotic Reaver’s range was lower than the intended values
- 90 ➡️ 100 effective range
- 250 ➡️ 300 max range
Aphotic Reaver
- Damage per pellet now functions similar to other spread Champions[list]
- <=50% of pellets hit deals 50% damage
- >50% of pellets hit deal 100% damage
Gravity Vice
- Now applies a .3s Cripple on initial lift[list]
- This helps prevent lockout scenarios
[/list]
Umbral Lance
- Bonus accuracy increased from 50% ➡️ 70%
- Removed added fire rate penalty
Zitat:
Omen has been sulking in the Abyss for a while since we took away all his fun (imbalanced) toys, but we don’t want to see him suffer any longer. We’ve updated his Aphotic Reaver to function much closer to other shotgun-based Champions, with his damage scaling based on number of pellets hit being half or full. We also discovered his range values were slightly smaller than intended and have adjusted them to match what was conveyed in-game. Umbral Lance also now returns a bit closer to its former glory now that his base weapon is more consistent. He wouldn’t let Jenos get buffs without his own, it’s not about hi-.
