Heroes

Benjamin

“ May as well be a general camo for Ben level given that Trojan gives camo at 18 too
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
18+
  • Buff Level 18 Syphon Funding affects DDTs

Pat Fusty

Levels Changes
3+

Adora

“ Adora is a unique hero in how she has a great deal more value in spending cash to level her up faster, however she outperforms other heroes by too much regardless of this added cost. As her ability uptime is so incredibly good to the point of being completely spammable we’re increasing that cooldown slightly and reducing her base pierce in the higher levels so more thought must be required to utilize the large pierce increase she gains from usage of that ability.
