Greetings, Raiders! THE LIMITED SERIES RAID: Call of the Arbiter continues to unfold, and while we're all wondering if Kael has really been betrayed, let's take a look at the first RAID Digest (02.06.23) of June. Without further ado, let's get started.
Polymorph Rebalancing
Currently, many Arena teams rely on Polymorph to avoid receiving Debuffs or losing their buffs. While this limitation was the Polymorph's original goal, we find that its restrictive impact is far greater than we anticipated.
That's why we're introducing the following change: a champion's PRECI will begin to affect their chances of turning an opponent into a "sheep" unless the Polymorph is leveled up to 6th level. Blessing stat bonuses and chance to apply Polymorph will remain the same.
We will offer a free reset of Blessings after the specified rebalance. The date of the rebalance has not yet been announced, but it is unlikely to be earlier than July.
Shades for the live arena
Currently, there is a bug in Live Arena area bonuses: the Ignore DEF bonus does not apply to damage dealt by masteries such as "Warmaster", "Giantslayer", or by "Blessings". . The fix is already on the agenda, but probably not for the very next update.
Since the recent update of the live arena, a player can meet opponents two levels lower or higher there. This means that a match is possible between players who may be several hundred arena points apart, especially in less populated tiers, where finding opponents is more reliable. The Live Arena matchmaking algorithm takes data from different players into account to find opponents who can complete the challenge, even if they belong to different Live Arena Tiers.
Some subtleties of the combat mechanics
The following section is for hardcore gamers who are looking to maximize their combat performance by any means necessary and therefore pay close attention to every detail.
Legendary Orc Champion Nogdar's "Return of the Executioner" passive skill description might be a bit misleading. She can not only revive him if he is killed while all his allies are alive, but also if he is already dead, the count of his dead allies goes to 0. For example, imagine a battle that started with a team of 5 champions, including Nogdar. The latter and his teammate fall. Then, at some point, that teammate is revived (which lowers Nogdar's dead allies count to 0). At that time, Nogdar will be automatically revived if his passive is not on cooldown. We are considering changing the skill description to reflect this nuance.
Please note that the Stoneskin buff multiplies the damage dealt by bombs to its owner by 3, not by 4, as was erroneously stated previously.
Clan vs. Clan tournament and personal rewards
The next edition of the CvC tournament will not feature personal rewards.
