🦸 Hero Updates

Elsa Bloodstone

Her ultimate ability, Glartrox, was proving too dominant with high survivability and duration.

• Ultimate: Glartrox
  • Health Reduced: 500 → 400
  • Dash Duration Reduced: 6s → 3.5s
  • Grab Hitbox Reduced: 6m(L)×6m(W)×3.5m(H) → 5m(L)×5m(W)×3.5m(H)

These changes make Glartrox easier to counter and require more precise timing to use effectively.

Hawkeye

Hawkeye’s damage output was slightly too high across the board. Damage values have been tuned down to reward precision aiming more.

• Piercing Arrow
  • Base Damage Reduced: 34 → 28
• Fully Charged Shot
  • Base Damage Reduced: 85 → 70
  • With Archer’s Focus: 175 → 160

Hela

To limit her dominance at extreme ranges, damage falloff has been increased.

• Nightsword Thorn
  • Damage Falloff Increased: Damage at 30m reduced from 80% → 70% of base damage
  • Critical Hit Threshold: Beyond 25m, two critical hits will no longer secure a kill on a 250 HP target
