Hey Champions!
It feels like only yesterday we were talking about Ikra, and now we’re here with another update already! We’ve got an awesome new Offlaner, four new Eternals, some incredible new skins, and Brawl Mode is making a comeback! Let’s take a look.
New Hero: Scarlett
In a world where ancient magic intertwines with feudal tradition, a champion of light walks a dark, perilous path. Raised in the ways of combat by her grandmother, Scarlett grew to become a sworn servant of the people, a champion of justice whose kindness is matched only by her mastery of the blade.
For years, her path was clear: defend the helpless and serve as a beacon of hope for those in need. But when a dark, tragic fate struck her beloved, cursing him with a beastly burden, her life was irrevocably altered.
Refusing to let the darkness claim the one she loves, Scarlett now travels the land seeking a cure for his dark curse. Guided by her inquisitive nature and an unyielding knowledge of the wilds, she walks a perilous road between light and shadow. Armed with a blazing spirit, her precise rapier, and a chain lantern to light the way, Scarlett stands ready to illuminate the battlefield and destroy anyone who threatens the innocent.

Scarlett then backflips into the air, becoming Unstoppable for the duration of the Restrain, and ignites her blade before striking down at the target, dealing 180/280/380 (+100% Bonus Physical Power) Physical Damage.
Enemies within a 600u radius of the Restrained Target take 100% of the strike’s damage.
Afterwards, Scarlett’s Blade is Ablaze for the next 8/10/12s, granting her +150 Basic Attack Range, +5 Energy Regen, and +20/32/44 (+12% Bonus Physical Power) Physical Power for the duration. Additionally, Empowered Cindara and Minueta are empowered to deal more damage during this time.

Brawl Mode
Brawl returns! Shiny, new, and very much improved thanks to your feedback! We’ve made some changes to the ruleset, buffs and the map itself.
For those of you that are new to Brawl, it is a fast-paced, 5v5 gamemode where each team has a ticket score that gets reduced each time a Hero dies, Minions die, or when Minions are pushed into the enemy team’s portal. Be the first team to get the Enemy’s Ticket Score to zero to win!
For its return, not only has the Brawl map received some changes to its layout and visuals, but various mechanics have also been switched up that aim to make the mode more fun and resolve some of the pain points raised from its previous iteration.
The full details can be found below in the Brawl Mechanics Breakdown section, but the major points to note are:
- Win Condition: When a Team reaches 50 Tickets, Minion Deaths no longer reduce the Score. Only Hero Kills and Minions entering a Portal can reduce Tickets below 50. - Orb Prime: Orb Prime no longer spawns in the middle of the map at 10-minutes. - Lane Fangteeth: No longer appear each time a team has 5 Hero Deaths. - Giant and Jump Height Buff: The Brown and Pink Golems have been removed and replaced by Cyan Buffs, with New Buffs now being present in the middle of the Map! - New Buffs: Instead of Orb Prime and Lane Fangtooth, there are now 2 Buffs that appear on either side of the map, spawning every 2-minutes. The Buffs are a range of new Giant Golems that provide powerful effects to the killer's team by collecting a Buff Orb, such as super speed, increased size, Double-Ultimate, and more! - Primal Fangtooth: Will now also appear at one of these New Buff Spawn Locations, every 2nd spawn. The Team that kills the Primal Fangtooth will now have it spawn on their side of the map, with it charging down the Lane towards the Enemies Portal, scoring a large amount of Tickets if it makes it into the Enemies Portal! - Multiple Heroes On The Same Team: Heroes are once again limited to 1-per team, meaning you can no longer play 5 of the same Hero on the same team. However, we will enable multi-hero selection for special dates and events, so keep an eye on our socials!
Known Issue: Replays do not currently work for Brawl Mode.

Quality Of Life Improvements
New Critical Health SFX Cue:
- There is a new sound effect when you fall to Critical Health (-25%), that should be more distinct and less panic inducing.
New Practice Mode Cheat Capsules:
Practice Mode has had the following adjustments and additions:
- Haste Capsule now refreshes all Cooldowns when activated. - There is a new Capsule to Evolve your Crest a stage per hit. - There is a new Capsule to fully stack stacking Items and/or add some stacks to infinite stacking Items.
Camp Despawning:
- Once the Camp Leader of a Normal Jungle Camp is killed (2/3/4/5 Camp), the remaining Monsters will now despawn after 10s of not being in combat.
Fountain Diving:
- Enemy Fountains no longer 1-shot you upon entering their Zone. - Upon standing in the Enemy Fountain’s Zone, you now receive ramping true damage instead. - There is a new Camera Lens Effect & SFX to signify when you enter the Enemy Team’s Fountain.
Client Prediction Adjustments & Blink Rubberbanding:
- Certain abilities (such as Boris Ultimate, Ranged Basic Attacks, Melee Basic Attacks, Bayle Ultimate, and Crunch Empowered Right Crunch will no longer yoink you back or hit you if you manage to get a small distance away from the original location, such as by blinking out of their path.
Enhanced Airborne Hero Shadows:
- Ally and Enemy Heroes now cast a shadowy decal beneath their location on the ground when they are in the air. - This will make it easier to tell where Flying Heroes such as Howitzer and Wukong precisely are when they are above you, as you will be able to see their shadow directly below them on the ground.
Respawned Inhibitor Clarity:
- Respawned Inhibitors now show a purple material around them to signify they are disabled and do not attack, adding more clarity.
Buff Dropping (Red/Blue/Mini):
Mini Prime:
- Mini Prime now drops its buff on the floor slightly in front of it when it dies, rather than being granted to the killer. The Buffs last for 30s on the floor. - The first Ally Hero to walk over it gets it. Enemy Heroes cannot pick it up but it will appear greyscale for them at the location.
Red & Blue Buff:
- From 20:00 onwards, Red & Blue Buff now drop an ADDITIONAL Buff Pickup at their original spawn location, that lasts in the world for 30s. - The first Ally Hero to walk over it gets it. Enemy Heroes cannot pick it up but it will appear greyscale for them at the location. - Red & Blue Buff are now a slightly different Color when Buff Dropping is active (at 20:00). - In other words, Junglers can now kill their Buffs late-game, and let an Ally pick up an additional copy of that buff.
Tower Platings Expanded:
- Tier 1 Outer Tower Platings no longer disappear at 13 minutes and are now present for the entire match. - Tier 2 Inner Towers now also have Tower Platings for the entire match.
Ground Targeting Improvements:
- Ground targeting abilities now aim directly from the Camera reticle, rather than from the Hero’s model. This will reduce the amount of times an ability clips against a wall unintentionally. - Ground targeting abilities now place at the centre of your reticle, rather than being slightly offset to the left.
Aim Assist Tuning:
- Aim Assist for Controllers has been adjusted to be slightly less sticky, while improving other areas of it that should make the gameplay experience smoother for Controller Users.
Item Effect Stat Tracking:
- A variety of Items now track various stats (such as how much damage they have dealt in a game, among other stats). To see them, hover over yours (or another Player’s) Items on the scoreboard.
Recalls - Damage Over Time (DoT):
- Damage Over Time (DoT) Damage Effects no longer interrupt Recalls.
Custom Games - Additional Modes:
The following modes have been added to Custom Games, and are available to play at any time:

Daybreak v7
We're approaching the final stages of development, and this patch introduces a significant number of gameplay and map updates, alongside the first environmental dressing pass using existing assets.

What's Changing
- Duo Lane Adjustments - Mid Lane Adjustments - Jungle Adjustments - Pit Adjustments
Environment Dressing
The primary goal of this initial dressing pass is to shift the map's focus away from its current visual simplicity and toward capturing the overall feel and atmosphere of Sanctuary. This pass is intended to establish the right mood and gameplay readability while we continue making core map changes.
A complete visual overhaul and final dressing pass will take place once the gameplay layout has been finalized.

Shrines
Shrines are a new mini objective, with 2 being present on the map near each side-lane for teams to fight over. Killing them grants global gold, permanent Ability Haste, and bonus damage to Towers for your team!
Stats:
