Summary
Combat Balance & Healing
This patch focuses heavily on the 1v1 Arena meta, specifically targeting the sustainability of healers. Healing effectiveness has been further reduced, and 'Healing Sickness' has been introduced to 5v5 Hellgates for teams running multiple healers. Conversely, Axes have received significant buffs to their mobility and uptime to help them compete in brawling scenarios.
Gameplay & Controls
New control options have been added for mobile and controller players, including 'Situational Movement Spell Targeting' which assists with aiming movement abilities when no target is present. Additionally, the Rites of Spring vanity rewards have returned to the merchant for a limited time, and statues for the Season 31 winners have been added to Conqueror’s Hall.
Technical Fixes
A substantial number of fixes address issues on Xbox and mobile platforms, including targeting glitches, UI responsiveness, and specific spell behavior corrections for the Brecilien Cape and various staffs.
