Free Hero Rotation Update
This week’s free hero rotation has been updated!
On Thursday, September 8, 2022 (GMT+8), a new rotation of heroes will be available in 5v5 battles: Ant-Man, Emma Frost, Iceman, Juggernaut, Mysterio, Rocket Raccoon, Ronan, Star-Lord, Storm, and Thor. Go forth into battle, Watchers!
New Watchers (characters below Lv. 10) can use heroes (beginner and easy difficulty) from the weekly free roster, and also from the free roster for new players.
Watchers will be unable to play as Magneto on Thursday, September 8, 2022, from 10:30 AM to 5:00 AM to ensure the successful reworking of Magneto’s abilities, after which the game must be updated to enjoy the new content. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Hero Adjustments
Magneto
When reworking Magneto’s abilities, we emphasize his ranged abilities to enhance his maneuverability and offer greater combat intensity for both sides. Performance-wise, we wish to highlight Magneto’s magnetokinetic powers to give him a more intimidating presence on the battlefield as the master of magnetism.
Natural Passive: Electromagnetic Pulse
Passive: Magneto channels an electromagnetic pulse against the enemy turret/base, dealing damage over time and gaining a shield. This ability destroys a turret/base with low HP.
Passive – Magnetize: Hitting an enemy hero with an ability reduces their Energy Resist.
Ability 1: Magnetic Orb
Magneto forms a magnetic orb at the specified location, dealing AoE Damage.
Ability 2: Magnetic Force
Magneto unleashes a magnetic force in the specified direction, creating a powerful repulsion that repels nearby magnetic orbs. Enemies hit by the magnetic force receive damage and a knockback effect. Enemies hit by the magnetic orbs receive damage and a Stun.
Ability 3: Magnetic Destruction
Passive: Hitting an enemy with this ability reduces its cooldown.
Active: Magneto hurls a magnetic orb in the specified direction, causing an explosion upon hitting an enemy or reaching the endpoint. The explosion deals AoE damage and inflicts a Slow.
Casting the ability again while the magnetic orb is still in its trajectory will cause it to explode.
Ultimate: Magnetic Storm
Magneto attracts all magnetic orbs within the area and conjures a magnetic storm at the specified location, dealing damage over time and inflicting a Slow on nearby enemies.
Added Content
Ranked Match Hero Usage Restriction
Ranked Match is a highly competitive mode where every match’s outcome affects everyone involved. We hope that Watchers can select heroes they are more familiar with to ensure that all participants have an enjoyable experience. Therefore, we’ve added a Hero Usage Restriction for Ranked Match. For heroes with the difficulty of Hard and Extreme, Watchers must reach a Proficiency of Learner or above to select them. For more information about Proficiency, please visit the Ranked Match Lobby and learn which heroes will be affected.
Meanwhile we have made the following adjustments:
Increased the amount of Proficiency obtained from matches. When the Hero has a Proficiency level of Beginner, they can obtain additional Proficiency from each match.
Raised the difficulty of some Heroes. Difficulty of the following Heroes has been raised to Hard: Mysterio, Ikaris, Thena, Hulkbuster, Mighty Thor.
Reduced the difficulty of a some Heroes. Difficulty of the following Heroes has been reduced to Common or lower: Falcon, Emma Frost, Star-Lord, Sandman, War Machine, Jubilee.
Hero Usage Restriction will not take effect for the first 2 weeks to provide all Watchers sufficient time to adapt to this new change. In the meantime, the system will display a prompt when selecting heroes of Hard or Extreme difficulty with insufficient Proficiency.
Hero Usage Restriction will officially take effect in 2 weeks. Please raise your Proficiency if you wish to use them in Ranked Match.
