New Update: Version 8.40.0
With update 8.40.0, we’re reworking the Impulse and Zeal Artifact Sets, as well as rebalancing Champions and much more!
We’ve got four new Champions joining the fight for Teleria, including two Mythical Champions in The Calamitus and Toshiro the Bloody, a Legendary High Elf called Wallmaster Othorion, and the first Sacred Order Champion with Faction Unity skills, Falmond Mournsword! Jump in-game now to check them all out, and read their unique lore via the Champion Lore button.
You can see the full breakdown of Update 8.40.0 below:
Impulse and Zeal Set Rework
We’ve changed how the Live Arena-exclusive Impulse and Zeal Artifact Sets work, turning them into 2-piece Sets while adjusting their Set Bonuses accordingly.
Impulse will now offer a 12% increase to the wearer’s Speed, as well as a 12% chance to reduce a random skill’s cooldown by 1 turn.
Zeal now grants its wearer a 20% increase to C. DMG, as well as a gradual increase to damage depending on how much HP the wearer has. At 100% HP, the wearer’s damage increases by 12%, and at 1% HP the damage increases by 0.12%. It’s 3% for every 25% HP the wearer has.
