Defense Towers

Defense Towers seem too weak when simply standing alone with no minions to support it. Some players have been known to be able to destroy the tower quite easily once it is alone. In order to prevent this, we have increased the defense capabilities of Defense Towers when they have no minions to support to them.

When there are no minions present, Defense Towers, Inner Towers and the Base all receive a defense bonus.

Neutral Monsters
Spirit Sentinel

In the current game environment, the Spirit Sentinel's high team rewards is disproportionate with its low kill difficulty. At the same time, this forces Dark Slayer Road heroes to use punishment to some degree and prevents other talents from being used. Therefore, in this version, we have made some adjustments to the Spirit Sentinel attributes and rewards to alleviate this situation.

Gold reward for team kills reduced. Buff received by the killer enhanced.

The Seagle

After The increased jungle vision bonus for slaying The Seagle made it too valuable of a target to kill at the beginning. It also regernates HP too quickly, making it too difficult for many heroes to kill it on their own at the beginning.

EXP granted by slaying The Seagle and its HP regen are both reduced for the first four minutes of the game.

New Chapter of Butterfly

The army of the Fallen is at the gates. Humans have no choice but to fight. As a sworn bodyguard, Butterfly must confront all of her foes. She chooses to continue her quest and protect Astrid on the demon-infested battlefield. Under the crimson hue of her sword, she transforms from a mere bodyguard-for-hire to a truly deadly adversary!
