He also poses a significant threat to enemy DPS in teamfights. We have thus slightly reduced Kuro&#8217;s damage so that players can better face off against him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 1: Vengeful Cut<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reduced additional Max HP bonus from 2.75% to 2.25%.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"space\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ootengu\"><\/span>Ootengu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ootengu&#8217;s combat capabilities are weak in teamfights. We hope to improve his performance through increasing the damage of his Ultimate Ability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ultimate Ability: Blade Storm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increased base damage from 90\/150\/210 to 90\/170\/250.<br \/>\nIncreased Ability Power bonus from 40% to 45%.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"space\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"kyuumei-neko\"><\/span>Kyuumei Neko<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kyuumei Neko&#8217;s combat capabilities are weak in the early game because of the random nature of her trait. There is also not much she can do before her Ultimate Ability is learned or when her Ultimate Ability is on cooldown. We have thus adjusted the way her Natural Passive: Nine Lives is triggered, as well as reduced the gap in her abilities during and outside of the Explosive Fur state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trait: Nine Lives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grants Tail marks when using basic attacks or Ability 1&#8217;s enhanced basic attacks instead.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced the Tail mark duration from 10 seconds to 4 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced the Movement Speed granted with each stack of Tail mark from 1.5% to 1%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 1: Revenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Changed the 1-second 80% Slow to a 0.5-second Immobilize.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 3: Pounce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increased the displacement distance from 500 yards to 600 yards.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"space\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"vampira\"><\/span>Vampira<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Vampira is rather weak currently, and it is difficult to select a target to attack with her Ability 1 during teamfights. We have optimized the way Ability 1 is cast and made some adjustments to Vampira&#8217;s other abilities for fans of Vampira to enjoy a better experience when using her in teamfights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 1: Blood Bats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjustments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Passive<\/strong>: When Vampira&#8217;s basic attacks or abilities deal damage to enemy shikigami, she summons bats to continuously attack her target. Subsequent basic attacks and ability damage continue to enhance the bats attached to them. Blood Boost and Blood Embrace provide the bats with additional enhancement stacks on hit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Active<\/strong>: Vampira summons all bats attached to targets within a certain range back to her. She also deals damage to her targets and recovers HP, both based on the total number of enhancement stacks on her bats.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced the base additional Max HP bonus in the healing effect granted with each stack of enhancement on the bats from 0.9% to 0.75%.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced the level-dependent additional Max HP bonus in the healing effect granted with each stack of enhancement on the bats from 0.05% to 0.03%.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced the Ability Power bonus in the healing effect granted with each stack of enhancement on the bats from 8% to 5%.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced ability cooldown from 12\/11\/10\/9\/8 seconds to 12\/10.5\/9\/7.5\/6 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 2: Blood Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increased the Ability Power bonus in the healing effect from 7.5% to 15%.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced the ability power bonus for damage 60% to 45%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ultimate Ability: Blood Embrace<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No longer reduces the cooldown of Blood Bats.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"space\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"enma\"><\/span>Enma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We noticed Enma has been performing poorly of late and is barely able to lay a finger on enemies in teamfights. We have thus strengthened Enma, adjusted the casting logic of her abilities, and made it easier for her abilities to land hits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 1: Spirit Command<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inflicts a 10%\/15%\/20%\/25%\/30% Slow for 1 second.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 2: Demon Realm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increased the Slow effect inflicted upon hitting enemies from 0.5 seconds to 1.5 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Casting is no longer restricted in direction for the duration of the Ultimate Ability.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"space\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"hakuro\"><\/span>Hakuro<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hakuro has a rather weak performance in matches, especially so in non-Fog mode. We hope to improve her performance by optimizing Hakuro&#8217;s control and increasing her overall strength. We have also made some adjustments to Hakuro&#8217;s mechancs to optimize her performance in matches outside Fog mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 1: Swift<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reduced Attack Speed bonus from 0.3\/0.35\/0.4\/0.45\/0.5 to 22%\/24%\/26%\/28%\/30%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 2: Scatter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hitting enemies inflicts a 25% Slow for 1.5 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Animation shortens as Attack Speed increases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 3: Mind&#8217;s Eye<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increased target&#8217;s Max HP-dependent damage from 4%\/4.5%\/5%\/5.5%\/6% of Max HP to 5%\/5.75%\/6.5%\/7.5%\/8%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ultimate Ability: Non-Self<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shortened casting animation.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"space\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"kusa\"><\/span>Kusa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kusa is rather weak on the whole and it is difficult to trigger her maximum value. We hope to rationalize the stacking of gains to improve the experience of players when using Kusa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 1: Flower Power<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kusa&#8217;s damage now causes the target&#8217;s Seed of Life to bloom.<\/p>\n<p>Increased HP recovery from 45\/65\/85\/105\/125 (+27.5% of Ability Power) to 60\/85\/110\/135\/160 (+40% of Ability Power).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 2: Absorb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increased magic damage from  10% to 20%. Increased base value for Armor and Magic Resist from 4 to 8. Increased level growth for Armor and Magic Resist from 0.4 to 0.8. <\/p>\n<p>Reduced maximum stacks from 6 to 3.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 3: Tangle Root<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Removed the damage reduction effect.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"space\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"izaya\"><\/span>Izaya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Izaya&#8217;s performance is weak in the late game, with little to no opportunities to use his ranged Ability 3: Different Paths. The ability also has the tendency to transport ally shikigami by mistake. We have thus made slight adjustments to a few of Izaya&#8217;s abilities and optimized the mechanic of Ability 3: Different Paths to improve the gaming experience for fans of Izaya, as well as for players who have her as an ally shikigami.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 1: Shrill Shuttle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increased Ability Power bonus from 0.35 to 0.4.<\/p>\n<p>Increased Ability Power bonus of the damage triggered by Seal of Corrosion from 0.15 to 0.2 bonus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 3: Different Paths<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reduced the maximum transport distance between the circles of shuttles. Changed the transport duration to a fixed duration of 0.9 seconds.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"space\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-kosodenote\"><\/span>9. Kosodenote<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kosodenote is rather weak in the late game and she has a huge performance gap between her entry and maxed out states. As such, we hope to improve Kosodenote&#8217;s overall strength and optimize the casting barriers in some of her abilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability 1: Hidden Sting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increased the maximum duration of connection via the thread from 15 seconds to 25 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Increased the bonus damage dealt at the target&#8217;s weakness from 10\/27.5\/45\/62.5\/80 (+35% extra Attack) (+2% (increases by 1% for every 160 extra Attack) of target&#8217;s Max HP) to 10\/27.5\/45\/62.5\/80 (+50% extra Attack) (+2% (increases by 1% for every 80 extra Attack).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ultimate Ability: Flawless Sting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Still returns 80% of the cooldown duration when the target is sealed while the ability is being cast.<\/p>\n<p>Adjusted the shield-granting mechanic such that a shield is now granted upon hitting a target, where the number of seal stacks on the target determines the value of the granted shield.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"space\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"enmusubi\"><\/span>Enmusubi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We originally designed Enmusubi&#8217;s Ability 3: Soul Mate with the intention of having players preemptively cast the ability to guard against enemy shikigami&#8217;s control abilities, but this ability is now being used to dispel the control effects their teammates are under, making it difficult for the enemy to counter.
