Summary
Gameplay & System Reworks
This update focuses heavily on the Corrupted Blood mechanic, addressing frustrations in both PvP and PvE. Hostile ghosts spawned by the blood now have reduced dash speeds, pierce enemies, and most importantly, no longer trigger counters or cause fatal blows. This removes a significant PvP exploit where ghosts were used to trigger free counters.
Spell & Combat Balance
Over 15 spells have received adjustments. Sanguine Coil has been shifted toward a more supportive role with increased healing but reduced projectile speed and a longer cooldown. Mosquito now properly scales with minion damage but no longer benefits from Spell Leech. High-performing abilities like Wisp Dance and Blood Rite have seen nerfs to their cast times and follow-up damage, respectively, while underutilized ultimates like Spectral Guardian and Raging Tempest received offensive buffs.
Bug Fixes & Performance
Key combat bugs have been addressed, including an issue where players could take damage during the Pistol's Explosive Shot roll and a collision bug with Crossbow projectiles. Server-side performance has also been optimized.
