Introduction
Get ready to dive into the exciting world of item and hero updates. First up, we have some changes to the Glimmer Cape. Brace yourselves, as the cooldown has been increased from 12 seconds to 14 seconds. Don’t worry, though, because we’ve got something to make up for it. The Spirit Vessel has undergone a recipe change, resulting in a total cost decrease of 200. Say goodbye to the old recipe of Urn of Shadows, two Crowns, and a Recipe, and say hello to the new recipe featuring a Fluffy Hat. Plus, the All Attributes bonus has been decreased from +12 to +6, but fear not, as it now provides +125 Health.
Now, let’s move on to the hero updates. Abaddon is here to save the day with some improvements to Mist Coil. The self-damage has been decreased from 50% to 40%, and the damage/heal has been increased across all levels. Not only that, but the cast range has also been increased, giving Abaddon even more versatility in battle. And that’s not all! Alchemist is getting a boost with an increase in base armor. This means he’ll be even tougher to take down. And last but not least, Chemical Rage is ready to unleash its power. Get ready to dominate the battlefield with these exciting updates. Stay tuned for more thrilling changes in this patch!
