We're glad to see the Hierarch as a powerful entity in the Nexus! As players are growing more proficient with his new kit, he's becoming increasingly more powerful than his competition. We're using this time to adjust a few of the over performing Talents as a means of toning him down slightly, as well as creating more compelling choices.

Shield Surge- Shield changed from 83.2 (+4%) to 78 (+4%)

Chrono Surge- Duration changed from 4 seconds to 5 seconds

Templar's Zeal- Cooldown changed from 100% to 150%

Graviton Vortex- Cooldown reduction changed from 6 to 5

This week's patch brings with it several balance changes but the main highlight is the addition of Valeera Sanguinar to the Heroes roster. She's an assassin who masters at ambushing from the shadows thanks to her stealth mechanic. She also uses energy to cast her abilities instead of mana. Some of Valeera's abilities build combo points which can be spent on her finishing move to make it much more powerful. She's been added to our talent calculator so feel free to test out her abilities and talents before setting off into the Nexus. To learn more about the changes in this Patch check out the official release below.
