Summary

💠Optimizations

A new feature that tracks the number of resources and speedups will be coming in the latest patch. Currently, it’s difficult to tell the total amount of resources you have and the total speedup time you have available. With the quality-of-life improvement, it will be easier for everyone to see and plan accordingly when using them, especially for the new Level 60 Academy tech.

Winners: Everyone

Losers: N/A

💠Adjustments

Athena is getting a notable skill adjustment that shifts her role in the current meta. Her passive no longer grants 200 initial Energy and instead provides full immunity to Serious Wound effects for all allies, directly targeting dominant threats like Qin and Khan. While this delays her ultimate due to her already slow energy regeneration, the change gives her strong utility against popular comps and could make her a more accessible and valuable option for players who don’t rely on multiple high-end Legendary Skills.

Winners: Athena

Losers: Qin and Khan

💠Arcane Hunter

A new Legendary Skill, Arcane Hunter, has been added to the Wish Shop during Legendary Season, offering both defensive and offensive utility. The skill reduces magical damage taken by 6% plus 2% per level and, every 6 seconds, deals AoE physical damage to all enemies at 90% plus 30% per level damage scaling, making it a strong hybrid option. Its key effect is granting an additional 30% Crit Rate when the user has Light Blessing, which makes it especially powerful on Apollo, the only immortal who provides that buff. This directly addresses Apollo’s previous lack of strong Legendary Skill options and significantly boosts his viability, though it is unlikely to shift Loki or Medusa-heavy metas since many of those players are not investing in Apollo. It would also likely be good for Khan and other Physical Damage backline carries.

Winners: Apollo

Losers: Everyone else

💠Summary

The patch adds a quality-of-life feature to better track resources and speedups. Athena’s rework gives teamwide immunity to Serious Wound, improving her utility against Qin and Khan. The new Arcane Hunter skill significantly boosts Apollo but likely won’t shift the current meta.
