Hero Adjustments

I. Lannie

The following adjustments have been made to Ultimate [Tricky Bounce: Leap]:

1. Reduced airborne height dealt to enemies when activating Ultimate on the ground.

2. In Solo mode, Health restored when Trick Balls return or are successfully caught reduced from 150 to 50; Duos and Trios unchanged.

II. Kylin Zhang

Optimized skill [Raider's Touch: Choke]:

1. Enemies controlled by Choke are no longer interrupted by White Focus move attacks;

2. While Ultimate is active, hitting enemies below Golden Focus triggers special execution;

Adjusted Ultimate [Qilin Slash: Rend]:

1. Reduced charged slash dash speed with the same slash distance;

2. Charged slashes can be blocked by enemy counter, but after successful blocks, the enemy cannot trigger counterstrikes, and Kylin Zhang recovers 150 Health. (Includes charged slashes that did not consume Health.)

3. Increased the damage multiplier of charged slashes from 2.8 to 3.0.

Optimized Ultimates [Qilin Slash] and [Qilin Slash: Rend]:

1. When Qilin Guard triggers while being hit or controlled, blast will be produced to knock enemies back;

2. Added indicator effects for normal and charged slash releases. Improved the visual clarity of indicator effects for successful charges;

//Dev Notes: The charged slash dash speed of Kylin Zhang's [Qilin Slash: Rend] was too fast without startup frames indicators. This made it impossible for opponents to predict slash trajectories and led to poor counterplay experience. We've reduced the slash speed and made it blockable with counter while improving Kylin Zhang's attack indicators. This would help opponents observe his attack more clearly for better counterplay.

Since Kylin Zhang's charged slashes can now be blocked by counter, his survivability is reduced. Therefore, we've adjusted his Qilin Guard mechanism to allow counterattacks when Qilin Guard triggers. A compensation for the move performance adjustments.

In-Game Adjustments

I. In-Game Adjustments

1. Realm of Yang now displays hero avatars of both participants for easier team composition recognition.

2. In Immortal War mode, teams with the highest team eliminations will see "Highest Team Elimination" displayed at the top of their bag interface.

3. Gaining power of beasts no longer removes Yang Depletion, but capturing Sacred Beast Spirit Well resets remaining Yang Depletion time for Yang-depleted teams.

4. When Vermillion Bird's Might wielders die, they no longer drop "Soulbloom Essence" but instead drop "Vermillion Bird Essence," which provides more Rage accumulation than "Soulbloom Essence." However, it cannot remove Yang Depletion; instead, it resets the remaining Yang Depletion time.

5. Adjusted the number of Champion Fight Match Solo participants from 32 to 16.

II. Feature Optimizations

1. Counterstrike Combos no longer auto-aim at stage mechanisms or summons.

2. The Smart Swap function has been changed from disabled by default to enabled by default. It can be manually turned off in Settings > Assist > General.

Out-of-Game Adjustments

I. Chat Channel Optimizations

When you return from match to lobby, you will auto-select your previously chosen chat channel.

II. Team Display Adjustments

· Extreme: Manhunt

Reduces bolt flight speed, but bolts will auto-track enemies within a certain range

Repeating Crossbow Rubric:

· Venom Tip & Barbed Bolts: The Repeating Crossbow deals less damage. Landing a shot on an enemy with your Repeating Crossbow leaves them unable to sprint for 1 sec. Bolts are poisonous and can deal damage over time upon hitting the enemy; poison effects stack up to 15 levels at most

II. Hero Adjustments

1. Adjusted Viper Ning's skill [Yushan Strike] silence effect from 8 sec to 4 sec.
