2021-03-02 Balance Update

Hero Updates

Talents

  • Level 4
    • Inhibiting Energy [W]
      • New functionality: Every 10 seconds, your next Basic Attack with Phase Bomb active Slows targets hit by 60%, rapidly decaying over 1.5 seconds.
  • Level 13
    • Dampening Field [Trait]
      • Spell Armor increased from 25 to 30.

Developer Comment: Get your side steps and shoop de whoops ready, cause there's a big new lazer in town. Overall, Fenix is in a good spot, but there are still some talents that are underperforming compared to other choices at their tier. We've also taken Inhibiting Energy in a new direction as the old version was a bit too inconsistent.

2021-01-19 Balance Update

Hero Updates

Talents

  • Level 4
    • Inhibiting Energy [W]
      • No longer requires the primary target to be a Hero to Slow enemies in an area.

Developer Comment: Part of Phase Bomb's charm is that it deals 100% Splash damage, opening up possibilities for who Fenix targets. This change realigns Inhibiting Energy to that philosophy.

2020-03-11 Balance Update

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Emergency Protocol's passive movement speed could be always active.

2020-02-12 Balance Update

Hero Updates

Talents

  • Level 4
    • Inhibiting Energy [W]
      • Adjusted functionality: Inhibiting Energy's Slow can now spread from itself.
      • Slow duration reduced from 3 to 2.5 seconds.
    • Emergency Protocol [Trait]
      • New functionality: While Fenix has Shields from Shield Capacitor, he gains 10% Movement Speed. This bonus is increased to 15% when Fenix loses Shields from Shield Capacitor.
  • Level 13
    • Rapid Recharge [Trait]
      • Additional functionality: Reduce the period before Shield Capacitor begins regenerating Shields from 5 to 3 seconds.

Developer Comment: Fenix has a fairly good talent tree, but we found some room to improve some of his talents. Inhibiting Energy in particular will now give him the ability to permanently Slow enemy Heroes provided he can keep hitting them with Phase Bomb, which should be a fun addition to what he can potentially bring to his team.

Developer Comment: Fenix has proven himself quite powerful, mainly due to his capability for consistent damage output. While we’re happy with how he plays, we’re making a few changes to bring his damage in line and address Talent imbalances.

Bug Fixes

  • Fenix: After learning Singularity Charge, the Talent description that is appended to the Weapon Mode Ability tooltip now states the correct amount of bonus range provided to Phase Bomb Basic Attacks.
