King Boogey's Battle Arena

Patch Notes August 7 2025

The summer hiatus is over and this update is a big one. Lots of shifts based on the recent 'meta', game duration, and hero power levels.

Hero Changes

• Berserker

  • Q – Berserk: This ability is strong. It's supposed to be. Berserker makes himself the most run-you-down guy in town for a long time - sometimes permanently. This change should at least give you an out - kill him.

    • Damage vulnerability increased from 25% at all levels to 35% at all levels.

  • R - Devour Soul: Currently, Berserker is too reliable. He is able to abuse the tanky creeps with the percentage and gains the ability to become virtually unkillable. He should be a bit worse than unkillable, but still have the potential to grow.

    • Life gain changed from 5% target maximum life to 40/80/120, increasing with rank.

    • Cooldown increased from 60/45/30 to 60/50/40 seconds.

• Storm Stomper

  • E - Thunder Herald: This ability is underwhelming outside of the fact that you become immune to damage for 4 seconds as the game progresses. The armor scaling from this ability is too aggressive, and quite simply - excessive.

    • Armor gain decreased from (5% intelligence + 5% strength) to 2/4/6/8/10.

    • Attack speed gain increased from 30/35/40/45/50% to 50/60/70/80/90%.

    • New: Now grants 10% movement speed for the duration as well.

• Psycho Mammoth

  • E - Psychic Fire: Psycho's bread and butter ability for laning, farming, fighting. His aura of death. His claim over the land. It's quite deadly, and has a high ratio along with already impressive tank-melting damage. With the newer items available now, Psycho should have no trouble if this ability is adjusted a little bit.

    • Base damage decreased from 20/30/40/50/60 to 10/20/30/40/50.

    • Current health damage increased from 4/5/6/7/8% to 5/6/7/8/9%.

    • Intelligence damage scaling decreased from 15/20/25/30/35% to 13/16/19/22/25%.

  • Bug Fix: The graphic for E has been corrected to be Psycho Mammoth's Yogi Gemstones again, and no longer roasts enemies alive with fireballs.

• Sniper

  • R - Drone Swarm: This ability is effective as a deterrent. However it lacks ambition on its own and needs a way to be manipulated. 

    • New: Drones will now lock on to enemy heroes hit by Gun Blast - [Q].

• Shock Jockey

  • E - Siphon Charge: This ability is great as the game goes on. But early it feels like it does nothing. This will let it do nothing even more often... or maybe even something!

    • Cooldown reduced from 20/18/16/14/12 to 12 at all ranks.

• Bronzebeard

  • W - Dominance: The heal on this ability never felt controllable. It is supposed to 'dominate' the enemy - not mildly inconvenience them. Now, it allows Bronzebeard to more effectively share his strengths with his team!

    • Heal changed from 5% max life of the target to 5% of Bronzebeard's max life.

• Brewmaster

  • E - Refill: Strength wasn't working out for this ability. It always feels as another mobility option with the refill for a last Keg Throw. Never as a real move with other effects. Changing the strength scaling to agility should make it a serious option in battle.

    • Heal limit changed from 200% strength to 200% agility.

    • Damage changed from 50% strength to 50% agility.

  • Item - The Keg: Stats were underwhelming. Changing this to increased power for abilities as the game 'ferments'.

    • +10% agility damage to abilities at each milestone:

      • Hitting level 10

      • Collecting 5 tomes

      • Securing 3 kills

• Darkbow

  • E - Evil Tidings: The wraiths just don't last long enough to feel good. Increasing their lifespan.

    • Wraith duration increased from 4 seconds to 6 seconds.

Item Changes

• Beak of Transmutation: The double beak strategy has been seen, pondered, abused, and runs the game out far too long. It nulls any weaknesses in lane and provides a huge payout for stalling. The hammer of God strikes it down.

  • Each shop only sells one Beak - don't lose it!

• Rustmoan Mask: This item isn't used and it isn't effective. Bumping the numbers up!

  • Armor damage increased from 200% to 300% each second.

System Changes

• Tomes: Early tomes are much more rewarding to take. Teams who coordinate earlier to kill their ogre (or poach the other) will be rewarded for their efforts.

  • Attack Tome

    • Damage increased from 5 to 15

    • Base attack speed increased from .05 to .06

  • Mana Tome

    • Mana increased from 40 to 80

    • Cooldown reduction increased from 1% to 2%

  • Life Tome

    • Life increased from 40 to 120

Patch Notes July 6 2025

Hero Changes

• New Hero! The Muck

  • Disgusting hero. Effective when able to control the map with his swarm. Has powerful healing and tactical options with his bloblings. His bloblings last forever, so be careful when facing him that he is not able to grow a swarm and overwhelm you!

    • Credit to Jon for proposing a new specialist summoner who overwhelms the map!

  • Q – Slime Me: The Muck spawns his bloblings - 3 tiny units that move slowly but attack quickly. The bloblings are able to move through units and have a percentage of The Muck's stats. Bloblings benefit from Consumption – [E] as well.

    • Bloblings: 5/6/7/8/9% current health + (50% strength) , 4/8/12/16/20 + (20% agility) as damage, 2 attacks per second.

    • Cost: 10% current health. 22/21/20/19/18 cooldown.

  • W – Shed Weight: The muck sheds the weight from consumption. It gains 50% movement speed and leaves a trail of stink behind him for the next 3 seconds. The stink lasts for 3 seconds and deals 10/20/30/40/50 + (50% agility) + (4/5/6/7/8% missing health) damage each second. 

    • Cost: 6% current health. Disables until Consumption is cast.

  • E – Consumption: Two part ability, passive and active.

    • [Passive] The Muck devours all. Killing enemies heals him and his bloblings for 5/10/15/20/25 + (10% strength) + (10% agility).

    • [Active] The Muck absorbs all nearby bloblings to regain health equal to their remaining health. It then grows in size, gains 2/4/6/8/10 armor, loses 75 movement speed, and gains access to Shed Weight after 3 seconds.

    • 30/28/26/24/22 second cooldown

  • R – Takeover: The Muck creates a stationary tendril that remains in place to attack enemies. Tendrils have 100/200/300 + (50% strength) health, deal 10/20/30 + (25% agility) damage, and attack four times each second.

    • Cost: 8% current health. 20 second cooldown.

Patch Notes July 3 2025

Hero Changes

• New Hero! Tower Wizard

  • Tricky artillery mage with powerful damaging abilities and combos. His goal is to cast as many of his abilities as possible and overwhelm the enemies in fights.

  • Q - Ralf's Fire Dollop:

    • The hero sends out a dollop of fire that travels in a line. The dollop deals 5/10/15/20/25 + (25% intelligence) damage, increased by 25% for each enemy it passes through.

    • The dollop returns and refreshes targets for the journey back, retaining bonus damage.

    • 10/9/8/7/6 second cooldown. 75/100/125/150/175 mana cost.

  • W - Melman's Acid Rain:

    • The hero shoots enemies in an area with 6 acid missiles, dealing 5/10/15/20/25 + (6% intelligence) damage each.

    • 5/4.5/4/3.5/3 second cooldown. 50/75/100/125/150 mana cost.

  • E - Chester's Freezing Blast: 

    • The hero launches a freezing orb that deals 10/20/30/40/50 + (30% intelligence) to enemies it passes through, and erupts at the target location, dealing 20/40/60/80/100 + (50% intelligence) damage to nearby enemies and slowing them by 80% for 1 second.

    • 22/20/18/16/14 second cooldown. 100/150/200/250/300 mana cost.

  • R - Demon Orb:

    • Passive: The hero makes a dark pact. Whenever he casts a spell, all remaining cooldowns are reduced by 0.5/1/1.5 second.

    • Active: The hero can activate the Demon Orb to replenish all of his mana.

    • 50/40/30 second cooldown.

Patch Notes June 29 2025

Hero Changes

• New Hero! Bronzebeard

  • Straightforward tank hero with disruption options, healing abilities, and ally buffs to support his teams damage. His ultimate makes him an unstoppable force on the battlefield.

  • Q - Dwarven Flying Hammer: 

    • Send a hammer flying, dealing 70/110/150/190/230 + (80% intelligence) damage and stunning for 1 second. 

    • 8/7/6/5/4 second cooldown. 60 mana cost. 

  • W - Dominance: 

    • Damage nearby enemies for 40/70/100/130/160 + (8/10/12/14/16% current HP), slowing them by 30% for 2 seconds. Heal allies for 20/35/50/65/80 + (5% max HP). 

    • 6 second cooldown. 80/100/120/140/160 mana cost. 

  • E - Dwarven Steel: 

    • Passive: Attacks deal 8/16/24/32/40 + (150% armor) bonus damage.

    • Active: Nearby allies also deal bonus damage for 5 seconds. The hero gains 1/2/3/4/5 + (5% strength) armor for the duration.

    • 14/13/12/11/10 second cooldown. 75 mana cost.

  • R - Of the Mountain:

    • The hero grows in size, gaining 250/500/750 health and 10/15/20 armor for 5 seconds. During this time, he cannot be targeted or stunned by spells. 

    • 120/100/80 second cooldown. 100 mana cost.

• Deadbolt

  • That's a big rock!: Deadbolt should be stronger earlier on. This change allows him to punish more frequently and rely less on mana regeneration.

  • E - Trebuchet:

    • Cooldown decreased from 18/16/14/12/10 to 15/13.5/12/10.5/9.

    • Mana cost decreased from 100 to 75.

• Pulverizer

  • Spiraling: Pulverizer has had hidden power in his E - Hunker Down, for quite some time. Its scalings and base effects were high value for just one ability. It's time to tune it down.

  • W - Pulverize:

    • This was keeping Pulverizer far too healthy. It should still be his bread-and-butter in the fray ability, but it needs to be tuned down.

    • Empowered pulverize now only heals at 30% effectiveness against non-heroes.

  • E - Hunker Down:

    • Hunker down has a list of issues. Most stemming from the fact that the ability has 3 parts: passive healing, an armor buff, and a very strong damage aura. These changes should put him in line but still keep the ability feeling important.

    • [Passive] - Strength scaling for healing from hero attacks decreased from 10% to 6%.

    • [Active] - Armor buff decreased from 2/4/6/8/10 + (5% strength) to 1/2/3/4/5 + (3% strength).

    • [Active] - Strength scaling for aura damage decreased from 15% (150% total) to 10% (100% total).

• Warden

  • Light Balance: This is to keep Warden from fighting you and then healing off the minion wave as you watch, helplessly, as all of your progress in poke goes down the drain.

  • W - Dark Balance:

    • Empowered [R] - Healing is only 20% effective against non-heroes.

• Drok

  • I just wanted to buff Drok. I think he's fun but the attack rate wasn't nearly what it should be later on. This is an adjustment to bring him back to prior glory.

  • W - War Club:

    • Now attacks 25% quicker when holding the club.

• Berserker

  • Disaster Strikes: This change is to slow down Berserker's early game to make sure that his enemies have ample time to punish him.

    • Base damage decreased from 59 to 54.

    • Base attack rate decreased by ~6%.

• Shock Jockey

  • Feels like Shock Jockey needs a nudge. This should make Helping Hand actually feel like an ability at all parts of the game. Not just when you are losing and have to build strength.

  • W - Helping Hand:

    • Armor buff strength scaling decreased from (8% strength) to (4% strength).

    • Regeneration scaling changed from (33% strength) to (20% strength) + (15% intelligence).

    • Charge on defense increased from 6/8/10/12/14% to 8/10/12/14/16%.

Item Changes

• Shop Update!

  • Agility, Attack, Strength, and Armor shops have all been re-vamped to more clearly separate items. This gives room for more recipes, easier access to build clarity, and a better shop experience.

• Agility: Spider Ring

  • Turns an Empty Vial and a Runed Claws into a Spider Ring.

  • +30 agility.

  • Gain +15 agility when killing a hero.

• Agility: Trapped Faerie

  • Turns a Empty Vial and a Cloak of Shadows into the Trapped Faerie.

  • +80 agility.

  • The hero heals for 100 + (100% agility) when killing a hero.

• Armor: Skull Shield

  • Turns a Bull Rune and an Arcane Shield into a Skull Shield.

  • +200 Health, +50 Strength, +10 Armor.

  • Regain (100% armor) as mana when attacked.

• Strength: Prize Roast

  • Turns a Rusty Mining Pick and a Bull Rune and Power Gauntlets into a Prize Roast.

  • +120 strength.

  • Your first attack against a target grants +3 max health. If that target is a hero, gain (1% strength) as max health.

System Changes

• Blightfang

  • Gone. Bye bye!

  • Blightfang never felt worth killing apart from very few instances. Many times, it was too easy to kill for certain characters, and especially those who could use bleeder.

  • Time for something new that will provide constant interaction, not just haphazard: "Maybe we could do this." gameplay decisions.

Micro-Patch Notes June 10 2025

Minion Changes

• Minions now spawn with more health when your team achieves goals on the map. Minion health still increases from regular game-time, this is a new bonus to help keep waves alive and able to end the game.

  • Controlling the Northern Zone: Your Orc Minions spawn with 25% increased health.

  • Destroying a Tower: Your Orc Minions spawn with 20% increased health (up to 80%).

Patch Notes May 24 2025

Hero Changes

• Delirium

  • Q - Fae Dust:

    • Slows a little bit more. Should make damage more consistent.

    • Movement slow: 40% >> 60%.

  • W - Lost:

    • Projectile now moves much faster, nearly instant. The original wind-blast did not convey the fantasy of catching an enemy off guard clearly. Now it will function much more reliably.

    • Projectile speed: 1000 >> 5000.

  • E - Illusory Image:

    • Even more confusing! Now the clone is actually a hero that removes itself upon first instance of damage.

    • Clone is now an exact replica of Delirium, including level, health, and mana.

• Brewmaster

  • Back in the game! Our good buddy is back for good. Abilities have all been modernized, given new graphics, modern interactions, and updated scalings.

  • Item - The Keg:

    • The Keg stores the Brewmaster's ale. Gives the Brewmaster 25 bonus health, 2 movement speed, and 5 damage each time he levels up. Charges display how many Drink Charges the Brewmaster currently has.

  • Q - Keg Throw:

    • The Brewmaster uses a Drink Charge to toss an explosive keg, dealing 60/90/120/150/180 + (60% agility) damage to enemies. If there are no enemies, the keg remains primed for 8 seconds. Throwing a keg into another explodes them for double damage. 4/3.5/3/2.5/2 second cooldown.

  • W - Off Balance:

    • The Brewmaster's next attack deals 20/30/40/50/60 + (20/30/40/50/60% agility) bonus damage, steals 2/3/4/5/6 armor for 3 seconds, and restores a Drink Charge. 5/4.5/4/3.5/3 second refresh.

  • E - Refill:

    • The Brewmaster sips his drink, regaining 30/35/40/45/50% of his missing health, up to (200% strength) total. He then catapults forward, sliding through characters and terrain and dealing 40/60/80/100/120 + (50% strength) damage to enemies. Colliding with a primed keg explodes it for Keg Throw damage and Refill damage. Restores 1 Drink Charge when cast. 10 second cooldown.

  • R - Super Belch:

    • The Brewmaster expends all Drink Charges, launching himself backward and stunning all enemies in the area for 1.5 seconds, dealing 30/45/60 + (30% agility) damage per Drink Charge used. 90/80/70 second cooldown.

Patch Notes May 13 2025

Hero Changes

• Shaman

  • Q - Claws of the Wild:

    • Just attack a little bit quicker. This ability needed a small adjustment to feel useful outside of the passive.

    • Attack speed: 25/40/55/70/85% >> 40/55/70/85/100%.

  • E - Serpent Ward:

    • Keeping enemies trapped in the serpent is more rewarding. The slow is more oppressive and punishing, and the damage is slightly heftier the longer the game goes.

    • Intelligence scaling: 30% >> 40%.

    • Slow: 20% >> 40%.

  • R - Breath of the Forest:

    • Just needed a buff. Base damage of 120 on a max rank ultimate ability was lousy. Now it's 360, which feels like a much better starting place for an ability so slow and easy to dodge.

    • Damage per second: 10/20/30 >> 30/60/90.

• Outlander

  • W - Dark Cleave:

    • This was akin to Berserker's Soul Stealer ability. Helpful; not prioritized. This should make it a lot more fun to use.

    • Damage on unit kill: 5/10/15/20/25 + (10% strength) >> 10/20/30/40/50 + (20% strength).

    • Base heal on unit kill: 5/10/15/20/25 >> 10/20/30/40/50.

• Sniper

  • E - Full-Auto:

    • More attack speed. This makes it valuable to rank up again outside of cooldown. Sniper deserves to gun-down bad guys, and needed a friendly nudge back to attacking.

    • Attack speed bonus: 100% >> 100/125/150/175/200%.

• Goblin Mech

  • W - Armor Breaker:

    • Earlier use-cases with higher base armor shred. Perhaps even a good investment and a solid ability now.

    • Armor shred: 1/2/3/4/5 >> 3/4/5/6/7.

• Berserker

  • Q - Berserk:

    • This was a no-brainer. The guy deserves to play the game, even if he is punished. The extra 5 health from the healing buff isn't enough to off-set the 45% damage increase at rank 1 here. So it's being flattened.

    • Attack speed: 50/70/90/110/130% >> 60/80/100/120/140%.

    • Vulnerability: 45/40/35/30/25% >> 25% at all ranks

  • E - Soul Stealer:

    • Build damage. Do it.

    • Lifesteal: 8/12/16/20/24% >> 10/15/20/25/30%.

• Pulverizer

  • E - Hunker Down:

    • This is just a touch-up. Pulverizer deserves to heal but he also deserves to get pwned sometimes.

    • Base healing per rank: 4/8/12/16/20 [2/4/6/8/10 for non-heroes] >> 3/6/9/12/15 [1/2/3/4/5 for non-heroes].

• Dark Magician

  • Q - Acid Flask:

    • Armor shred no longer scales with intelligence. Intelligence damage decreased. This should still give him plenty of armor-shred power, but it will cap out a lot quicker and be less oppressive.

    • Armor shred: 3/5/7/9/11.

    • Intelligence scaling: 90% >>75%.

• Boilmaster

  • E - Rot Touch:

    • Armor shred no longer scales with agility. This leads to stronger early game effectiveness, but weaker late game shred totals.

    • Armor shred: 5/6/7/8/9.

• Storm Stomper

  • R - Lightning Storm:

    • R damage pivoted from current health reliant to intelligence reliant.

    • Current health damage: 6/9/12% >> 5/7/9%.

    • Intelligence damage: 12% >> 12/15/18%.

• Goblin Technomancer

  • E - Lightning Orb:

    • Now only reduces cooldown on an actual hit, and strikes a bit faster.

    • Strikes every 2/3 second rather than each second.

• Stalwart

  • W - Momentum:

    • Maximum speed now depends on W rank. Stalwart was just too quick too often. This will present a barrier of entry and make him choose between W and Q when levelling up.

    • Base movespeed cap 520 >> 340.

    • Gains 40 movespeed cap per rank, max 500.

• Psycho Mammoth

  • R - Ice Age:

    • This ability was just an un-fun "no" button. Reducing the timing and letting it happen more frequently should help the mammoth out, as well as his enemies.

    • Base stun duration 3 >> 1 second.

    • Stun duration per rank 0 >> 0.5 second.

    • Cooldown 150 >> 120.

• Dwarven Battle Engine

  • Splash damage reduced from 100% >> 25%.

• Shock Jockey

  • R - Shock Barrage:

    • This just sounded like a fun change.

    • Refunds 5% mana drain when hitting a hero with a charge.

• Gluptuous Gump

  • Casting animation sped up.

  • Attack range increased by 22.

System Changes

• Blightfang

  • Now announces when killed.

  • No longer able to kill itself with splash damage.

• Towers

  • Pulverizer Special: Towers were dying too quickly to solo-siege attacks. Minions are required to kill the enemy base; this change enforces that.

  • All towers now have 35 base armor.

  • Minions all have a siege ability that gives towers -30 armor while they are within 600 range.

Patch Notes May 11 2025

Hero Changes

• Ancient Troll

  • Ancient is Right: The stupid troll never dies, of course he's ancient.

  • W - Spirit Drain:

    • Healing set to 4% missing health at all ranks. 

• Dwarven Battle Engine

  • Fabled Mechanics: The engine was an issue for a long time; he may lose the occasional scaling match, but more often than not he chooses when he wins or loses. No longer! His late game damage has been reduced to better match his fantasy. His healing and base damage are lower to add a little bit of difficulty in ending the game.

  • Hero Stats:

    • Base damage decreased by 14.

  • Item - Engine Parts:

    • Damage per level decreased from 10 to 5.

  • Q - Big Gun: 

    • Reload healing reduced to 2% max health at all ranks.

  • E - Minigun: 

    • This ability needed the most changes. The battle engine relies on this ability to dish out the pain, and time and time again it is too easy to use.

      • Base damage decreased to 2.

      • Damage per rank reduced from 3 to 2.

      • Strength scaling per missile decreased from 10% to 8% (400% total to 320%).

    • Launches 40 bullets in a cone over 4 seconds. Each bullet deals 2/4/6/8/10 + (10% intelligence) + (8% strength) damage to the first target hit. 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 second cooldown. 100 mana cost.

• Shock Jockey

  • Stunning Change: The Jock' needs a little help. Not performing up to snuff just yet!

  • E - Siphon Charge:

    • Slow increased by 5% per rank.

• Deadbolt

  • Armed and Dangerous: Pivoted Deadbolt's early poke damage over to his real poke ability - E. It deals a lot of damage. The stun never worked, so that's just the de-facto now. But more damage.

  • E - Trebuchet:

    • Renamed, stun removed. This ability is a huge damage bonus and should help Deadbolt lean into a bully role without making his pattern oppressive.

    • Base damage increased by 20.

    • Damage per rank increased by 10.

  • Q - Flamesplatter:

    • Damage decreased by 10 per rank.

    • Scaling damage decreased from 10% to 6% per rank. 

    • Base scaling increased from 50% to 60%.

• Gluptuous Gump

  • Q - Demon Fire:

    • Cooldown set to 3 seconds at all ranks. IYKYK.

Item Changes

• Sting

  • No longer deals double damage to structures.

• Ward Pack

  • Duration decreased to 60 seconds.

• Scrying Chapter

  • Ward range increased to 2000. Duration increased to 60 seconds.

  • Ward no longer has healing aura.

System Changes

• Minions

  • Speed decreased to 240.

    • This should slow the minion wave and make it easier to keep up with after assisting your teammate. You do that, right? Right?

Patch Notes April 22 2025

Hero Changes

• Stalwart

  • Lich-Killer: Stalwart did not feel fun to play against. All of his damage is AoE except for his right-click ability that lets him run at mach-10. His ultimate covered the entire screen with hammers. The only counter-play was to sit in the eye of the storm - which didn't always work. Additionally, his E - Hammer Spray removed armor when he didn't need it. This change increases his damage, but spreads it out over a longer period of time. 

  • E - Hammer Spray: 

    • No longer removes armor.

    • Mana cost increased by 25 per level.

  • R - Rapture (Rework): The hero slams the earth, slowing nearby enemies to a crawl for 3 seconds. A large ring of hammers surround the hero for 6 seconds, dealing 20/40/60 + (33% agility) damage each second to enemies struck by them. 100/90/80 second cooldown. 100/150/200 mana cost.

• Boilmaster

  • Nasty Faeries: Rot Touch was not good so it was buffed. Now it works too well. The armor shred is enough when working in tandem with an ally. Removing the damage will keep our slippery friend feeling slippery and rotten rather than smacky and rude. To compensate, Plague Harpoon now pulls enemies through walls and other units.

  • Q - Plague Harpoon: 

    • Now pulls enemies through walls, trees, and other units.

  • E - Rot Touch (Rework): 

    • No longer deals bonus damage on hit.

• Grabbledar

  • What have I Done?: Grabbledar is a special guy. He gets special treatment. In this case - a nerf that cuts his primary damaging ability significantly.

  • W - Garnished: 

    • Damage per level decreased by 10. 

    • Base damage decreased by 10.

• Darkbow

  • Simple As: Wraith? More wraiths. That's it. Evil summons that hunt and kill. 

  • E - Evil Tidings: A wraith remains to haunt if the initial cast kills a non-hero, or hits a hero.

    • Wraiths last 4 seconds and have (80% intelligence) health and attack two times each second for (12% intelligence) damage.

Item Changes

• Ward Pack

  • Ward vision reduced to 600. Ward no longer invisible. Ward health increased to 300; armor increased to 10.

• Scrying Chapter

  • Bonus health reduced from 400 to 300. Intelligence reduced from 70 to 50.

  • Ward vision reduced to 600. Ward no longer invisible. Ward health increased to 500; armor increased to 10.

  • Ward now grants an Aura that heals all nearby allies for 1% of their maximum health each second. Lasts 30 seconds. 30 second cooldown.

Patch Notes April 13 2025

Hero Changes

• Dark Magician

  • Vanishing Act: Chunking 50 points of armor for 70% damage increase from all sources is a little crazy. Tuning back the duration and total shred to make it a window of opportunity will keep the coordinated power, but reduce the overall oppressiveness.

  • Q - Acid Flask:

    • Armor shred scaling: 5% intelligence >> 3% intelligence.

    • Armor shred duration: 3 seconds >> 2 seconds.

• Dwarven Battle Engine

  • New Rims: The battle engine needed a tune-up. Nothing major, just a quality of life change that will help him navigate the map later without getting stuck on some goober in his way.

  • R - Hot Wheels:

    • Now allows the battle engine to actually move through units when cast.

• Boilmaster

  • Rotten Ability: Rot Touch is not a great ability, and it doesn't work with how Boilmaster wants to play the game. As an assassin, a DPS team-buff that scales with personal damage for stats is not wonderful. This change makes Boilmaster a deeper threat and adds some deadliness to his Harpoon.

    • E - Rot Touch (Rework): The hero sprints, gaining 12/18/24/30/36% movement speed for 2 seconds. His next attack within this time deals 30/60/90/120/150 + (50% agility) bonus damage and shreds armor by (2% agility) for 3 seconds. 6 second cooldown. 75 mana cost.

• Deadbolt

  • Chumps: No comment here. Just wanted to make it deal more damage to targets with higher armor.

  • Q - Flamesplatter:

    • Target armor scaling: 5 x armor >> 10 x armor

Item Changes

• Rustmoan Mask 

  • Max health damage: 1% >> 2%

  • Soul Token cost: 42 >>30

• Gem of Striding

  • Soul Token cost: 15 >> 30

System Changes

• The Monsters: Right now, killing the Speed Camp, Wolves, Speed Camp, and then the Northern Warriors grants 15 soul tokens and 800 gold. This is the gold standard clear at the moment; and it enables the purchase of the strong Amulet of Ages item to gain even more gold generation. The ability to secure last hits is not inhibited by other minions, or punishable by enemy players. It is too safe for too many characters.

  • Monster damage increased by 1 point.

  • Monster gold bounties reduced by 5-10.

  • New monster: The Northern Razorback. A tough monster that grants a sizeable bounty when slain. It attacks quickly and reduces armor on each hit - making it risky to take!

    • 1200 HP and 5 armor, 2 ranged attacks every 3 seconds (reduces armor by 1 for 3 seconds), 100 gold and 3 soul token bounty. 

    • Respawns 90 seconds after being slain.

Map Changes

• The Towers: Right now, it's hard to flank and players get punished for entering lanes to ambush.

  • First towers have been pushed back a tad. Players are forced to step further forward to farm and push.

  • Castle ultra-towers have been doubled and moved to flank the store.

  • Regeneration around the spawn has been limited to ally-only.

• Northern Zone: Just some simple re-organizing.

  • A new cubby for the Northern Razorback has been added to the north of the zone.

  • The ramps allowing access have been expanded and made congruent for both sides.

Patch Notes April 9 2025

Hero Changes

• New Hero! Deadbolt

  • Deadbolt is a rapid attacking and confrontational hero who has an easy time fighting on his own terms. He gathers extra gold and is able to melt through armor later in the game as a strong debuffer. On-hit items serve him very well, as he does not need attack speed. Additionally, he enjoys survivability and will need mana restoration methods to stay on the map. Due to his AoE with Flamesplatter and quick attacks, he is capable as any part of a team.

  • Q - Flamesplatter: The hero shoots a close-range burst of fire from his crossbow, launching him backward and dealing 60/100/140/180/220 + (50/60/70/80/90% strength) + (5 x target armor) damage. 4 second cooldown. 60 mana cost.

  • W - Sneak-a-boo: The hero becomes invisible, and moves 10/15/20/25/30% faster for 1 second. 8/7.5/7/6.5/6 second cooldown. 100 mana cost.

  • E - Net Shot: The hero fires a weighted net from his crossbow, dealing 50/75/100/125/150 + (100% strength) damage and stunning the first hero hit for 1.5 seconds. 18/17/16/15/14 second cooldown. 100 mana cost.

  • R - Gold Touched: Nearby enemies receive -1/3/5/7 armor. Attacking an enemy grants 1/3/5/7 additional gold. Starts with 1 level in this ability.

• New Hero! Darkbow

  • Darkbow is a scaling hero, with the potential to deal tons of damage. Has a unique attack pattern that allows her to dish out a rapid number of attacks in a short span.

  • Q - Magic Arrows: The hero gains movement speed and attack speed and deals 10/15/20/25/30/35 + (15% intelligence) bonus damage on each attack for the next 6 seconds. During this time, every other attack against the same target deals double bonus damage and reduces their armor by (2% intelligence) for 6 seconds. 12 second cooldown. 100/125/150/175/200/225 mana cost.

  • W - Arrowstorm: Every 3 attacks, Darkbow unleashes a barrage of 3 rapid attacks.

  • E - Evil Tidings: The hero summons an evil wraith to damage enemies it passes through. Deals 150/225/300/375/450/525 + (150% intelligence) damage over 2 seconds. 50/47/44/41/38/35 second cooldown, reduced by 5 seconds for each attack.

  • R - Dodge: Darkbow dodges, becoming untargetable and immune to all damage for 2 seconds. 30/20/10 second cooldown.

• Ancient Troll

  • Sucky sucky: The troll was doing too well when fighting nobody. His potency against monsters is unchanged, but his devious ability to restore all of his missing health in the enemy minion wave has been tuned back harshly.

  • W - Spirit Drain:

    • Now only restores 1% missing health against lane minions at all ranks.

• Grabbledar

  • More blades please: Grabbledar hasn't seen play, even after his Rock Lee weights were dropped and he was allowed to both move and attack. If the ability to move and attack didn't entice players, maybe 20 damage will.

  • W - Garnished: 

    • Damage at all ranks increased by 20.

• Dark Magician

  • Around here somewhere: The Dark Magician was perhaps... too dark... Or at least, he was keeping enemies in the dark for far too long. Now, there is a drawback to entering Rat Sneak - slower movement. Additionally, the duration needed to go down. 14 seconds of invisibility on a 16 second cooldown was an idea too early for its time.

  • E - Rat Sneak:

    • Invisibility decreased from 6/8/10/12/14 seconds to 6 at all ranks.

    • After 1 second, the hero turns invisible and moves 10% slower for 6 seconds. 20/19/18/17/16 second cooldown. 60/80/100/120/140 mana cost.

• Pulverizer

  • Infinite Healing: Pulverizer is an anti-carry. However, right now he's too good on his own. His power away from fights needs to be tuned down a little bit, so his survivability is being reduced just a tad.

  • E - Hunker Down:

    • Base health restored on hit reduced to 4/8/12/16/20.

Item Changes

• Armor Items

  • Armor items are being spammed and it's no good! Defender, which is intended to serve as a ranger-deterrent, has been repurposed as an all-purpose disinfectant of enemy damage. Arc Hammer enables tanks to deal damage when nearby - and that should be its main purpose. Nerfing the armor on these items will hopefully reduce their general appeal, yet keep their situational power high.

• Defender

  • 15 armor >> 12 armor

• Arc Hammer

  • 10 armor >> 7 armor

• New! - Rustmoan Mask

  • Another option, forged as an even harsher deterrent to armor stacking and a tool for mage-types to be able to spam their abilities for a bit of harsher poke against the bigger targets who have plenty of survivability and passive regeneration.

  • Turn a Wizard Staff and a Life Totem into a Rustmoan Mask (42 soul tokens).

  • +50 Intelligence, +300 health.

  • Dealing damage to heroes applies Rust to them for 3 seconds. Heroes with Rust take (200% armor) + (1% max hit points) chaos damage each second.

System Changes

• Heavy Stuff: The following changes to armor and health intend to flatten the base survivabilty of all characters. Tanks gain a much smaller percentage of stats as compared to mages, rangers, and assassins here. This is intentional - they need to be slightly more killable, and everyone else needs to be slightly less killable.

• Armor

  • Armor is less effective overall. Total damage reduction effectiveness per point reduced from 4% to 3.3%.

  • Total resistance at higher levels affected more than at lower levels.

  • Bonus armor gained per level increased from 0.2 >> 0.25 for all heroes.

• Health

  • Bonus health gained per level increased from 80 >> 100 for all heroes.

Patch Notes March 27 2025

Hero Changes

• New Hero! Shock Trooper

  • Shock Trooper is a ranged bully-carry. Each attack, he gains charge (mana). After 5 seconds not in combat - he starts draining 10% charge each second. Shock Trooper has massive damage output, and superior range. His play pattern is easily punishable, but equally if not more punishing to opponents.

  • Q - Shock Blast: The hero drains all of his charge to unleash a powerful blast that deals up to 100/200/300/400/500 damage on hit depending on charge, and the same damage over 3 seconds. Slows the target by 30/40/50/60/70% over the same duration. 10/9/8/7/6 second cooldown.

  • W - Shock and Awe: Each attack critically strikes for double damage, applying on-hit effects twice. Each time the hero attacks, he charges up 9/12/15/18/21/24%. The hero starts with this ability.

  • E - Shock Step: The Shock Trooper drains all of his charge and gains a short burst of speed. The less charge drained, the longer the cooldown, up to 100/90/80/70/60 seconds.

  • R - Charge Jump: The Shock Trooper teleports to a target point and gains 30/40/50% charge. 30/25/20 second cooldown.

Item Changes

• New - Big Cheese

  • +100 damage.

• New - Dark Crystal

  • +60 damage, +10% cooldown reduction, +10% lifesteal

• Bloodied Axe

  • New - Executes enemy heroes with less HP than your total strength score.

• Scrying Chapter

  • +50 intelligence >> +70 intelligence

• Tome of Power

  • +80 intelligence >> +100 intelligence

• Ultramagic Staff

  • +200 intelligence >> +250 intelligence

Map Changes

• Blightfang

  • Minion Power: Now grants an aura to the killing heroes that grants nearby minions +15 HP and +15 Max HP each second.

Patch Notes March 22 2025

Hero Changes

• New Hero! Shock Jockey

  • Shock Jockey is a melee supporter with a unique mechanic that forces decisions in fights. While attacking and being attacked, she gains charge (mana). After 3 seconds not in combat - she starts draining 10% charge each second. She has strong supportive and de-buffing abilities, as well as a high damage output in sustained fights.

  • Q - Discharge: The hero drains her charge to deal up to 100/160/220/280/340 + (100% intelligence) damage to all nearby enemies. Deals 4/6/8/10/12% max HP bonus damage when cast at full charge. Each time the hero attacks, she charges up 6/8/10/12/14%. 4/3.5/3/2.5/2 second cooldown.

  • W - Helping Hand: The hero drains her charge to grant herself and all nearby allies up to 4/6/8/10/12 bonus armor and up to 10/20/30/40/50 + (33% strength) regeneration for 5 seconds. Each time the hero is attacked, she charges up 6/8/10/12/14%. 12/11/10/9/8 second cooldown.

  • E - Siphon Charge: The hero drains 10/15/20/25/30% max mana from enemies to charge up for the same percentage. Slows by 30/40/50/60/70% and silences those caught in the siphon for 1.5/1.75/2/2.25/2.5 seconds. 20/18/16/14/12 second cooldown.

  • R - Shock Barrage: The hero launches a barrage of shock blasts in a target direction until she is out of charge. Each blast deals 10/20/30 + (20% intelligence) damage and drains charge by 5%. 1 second cooldown.

Patch Notes March 19 2025

Hero Changes

• Skeleton Magus

  • Go my minions: Skeleton's minions die far too easily to everything. They are getting some TLC.

  • Q - Army of Darkness:

    • All of the Skeletons gain 5 + (2% intelligence) bonus HP for each level of the hero.

  • W - Zombie Rising:

    • Base damage increased from 6 + 2 per level to 8 + 3 per level.

    • Zombie HP now scales with 25% intelligence.

  • E - Crippling Ray >> Necrotic Ray:

    • Allies heal for 30/40/50/60/70% of damage they deal to the target.

• Goblin Technomancer

  • Q - Summon Mini-gob MK1:

    • Mini-gob attack rate increased from 2 attacks per second to 3.

    • Mini-gob attacks shifted to melee, movement speed increased.

• Gluptuous Gump

  • Demonic Flare: Our Gluptuous fiend has an ability that just sucks and doesn't work. It has no reliable tell, and often times makes a net neutral impact on the game. Replacing it with a tool that allows him to escape or engage. With that - he will be able to tank a turret and reliably escape. Reducing his E damage is a necessity in order to keep him in-check.

  • New! W - Gump Jump: 

    • The Gump instantly moves through time and space, arriving at his next destination. 12/11/10/9/8 second cooldown. 50 mana cost.

  • E - Retaliate: 

    • Now stores half of all damage taken, rather than the full amount.

• Boilmaster

  • Stink and Rot: Boilmaster is fun - when he is allowed to be silly and use his harpoon. This change should allow him to use his harpoon and encourage him to use his team buffs and poison damage more.

  • R - Warts and Boils:

    • Poison now lowers the cooldown of Plague Harpoon - [Q] by 1 second (.25 for non-heroes) each second.

• Outlander

  • Baussen's Law: Outlander deserves to deal tons of damage. The problem then is that he can clear the minion wave at minimal cost, and punish anyone who tries to stop him - and he can reliably do it. This change is intended to keep him strong but reduce his ability to proxy minion waves and stall out games that should be over.

  • Q - Torrent of Blood:

    • Deals 66% damage to lane minions and summons.

• Pulverizer

  • Q - Get Over Here:

    • Now pulls a little bit better and more consistently.

• Stalwart

  • E - Hammer Spray:

    • Now shreds 1/2/3/4/5 + (2% agility) armor for 3 seconds.

Item Changes

• Attack Speed

  • Too damn quick: Attack speed is a constant problem. This nerf is across the board to all attack speed items, hoping to limit the oppressive right-click meta by cutting off the power granted by items.

• Wirt Dagger

  • Attack speed reduced from 75% to 50%. 

  • Now grants 10 movement speed.

• Bleeder

  • Attack speed reduced from 50% to 25%. 

  • On-hit damage increased from 6% (4% ranged) to 8% (6% ranged).

  • Max damage to monsters capped at 120 (100 ranged).

• Lion Claws

  • Attack speed reduced from 30% to 20%.

• Dagger of Speed

  • Attack speed reduced from 25% to 15%.

Map Changes

• Blightfang

  • Get it over with: Blightfang is a new massive tier monster that spawns every 5 minutes in the darker, more dangerous southern forest. Killing Blightfang should give your team everything they need to end the game for 2 minutes.

  • When killed, your team gains the following bonuses for 2 minutes:

    • +25 Health regen/second

    • +15 Mana regen/second

    • +2 gold/second

    • +5 armor

  • Additionally, your team gains a +150 gold bounty.

• The Northern Zone

  • The Northern Zone now sits on a cliff that overlooks the lane. It is only accessible via ramps to the east and west, or by abilities that move or teleport heroes.

• The Mana Fountain

  • The fountain is removed. Now, allied magic minions grant the same mana regeneration buff.

• The Southern Towers

  • Removed. Gone. These were only to stop and prevent leads from getting out of hand by protecting the jungle. Instead they became another late-game objective only accessible to a few heroes who were able to kill them. Protect your own jungle.

Patch Notes February 25 2025

Hero Changes

• Warden

  • Absolute Evil: Warden is way too strong. She has limited counter-play outside of a few defensive items. The buff is being reverted.

  • R - Shadow Walk:

    • Attacking to leave invisibility no longer ignores armor.

• New hero: Death Knight!

  • Death Knight is a melee intelligence caster with massive damage output. His abilities work together to keep him extremely mobile and a constant threat on the map. He is best when given room to grow and works well as a fighter-type. Enemies will find that he is difficult to punish, but is forced to be on the offensive.

  • Q - Dark Rift: The hero creates a Dark Rift at the target point, and gains access to Dark Jump. 60/80/100/120/140 mana cost.

  • Q - Dark Jump: The hero teleports to his Dark Rift, and gains access to Dark Rift. 30/27/24/21/18 second cooldown.

  • W - Shadow Lance: The hero charges forward, dealing 75/100/125/150/175 + (70/80/90/100/110% intelligence) to enemies in his path. Restores 10/20/30/40/50 + (10% strength) hit points and lowers the cooldown of Apocalypse by 5 seconds for each enemy struck. 100 mana cost. 16/14/12/10/8 second cooldown.

  • E - Foul Whip: The hero whips his steed, gaining 50% movement speed for 2 seconds. His next attack deals 15/20/25/30/35 + (25% intelligence) bonus damage and halves the remaining cooldown of Shadow Lance. 20/30/40/50/60 mana cost. 4/3.25/2.5/1.75/1 second cooldown.

  • R - Apocalypse: The hero rushes towards any target enemy, no matter the distance, dealing 100/200/300 + (80/100/120% intelligence) damage to all nearby enemies upon arrival and refreshing the cooldown of Shadow Lance. For 5 seconds, the hero gains 3/6/9 + (5% intelligence) armor. 150/125/100 second cooldown.

• Ancient Troll

  • The troll was doing too well into damaging compositions. Elongating the cooldown of his main survivability from 1.5 -> 2 seconds.

  • W – Spirit Drain: The hero saps all nearby enemies, dealing 20/40/60/80/100 + (30% intelligence) + (20% strength) damage and restoring 2/3/4/5/6% missing health per unit sapped. Deals 60/70/80/90/100% critical damage to targets with less than half health. 70/90/110/130/150 mana cost. 2 second cooldown.

Valentine's Update February 14 2025

Hero Changes

• Drok

  • Deserving of Love: Drok is the first character of KBBA. Over the 11+ years of updates, he's been changed a fair number of times. This time, it's to push him into his own identity: a mobile tank that gets in and dishes out the hurt to attackers.

  • Q - Drok Roll:

    • Now grants Drok 1/2/3/4/5 + (10% strength) armor for 5 seconds after the blast.

    • Mana cost reduced to 70 at all ranks.

  • E - Drok Throw:

    • Damage increased to 100/140/180/220/260 + (50% strength) + (50/100/150/200/250% armor)

  • New! R - Stone Call:

    • Two part ability to firstly unlock a new damage outlet, and second to provide a heavy disruption option against enemies.

    • [Passive] - Attacking enemies take 5/10/15 + (6/8/10% strength) + (50/75/100% armor) damage.

    • [Active] - Drok sends out waves of dominance for 4 seconds, commanding nearby enemies to attack him. 90/80/70 second cooldown. 100 mana cost.

• Warden

  • Good Kisser: Warden has stayed on the curve for assassins. However, she has limited single target damage compared to others. She is getting a better way to deal with single targets, by stripping them down.

  • R - Shadow Walk:

    • Attacking to leave invisibility deals (120% agility) bonus damage, ignoring armor.

Item Changes

• Arc Hammer

  • Gimme a Kiss: Tanks have plenty of strength outlets. They need some durability to match the armor shred available to attackers and assassins. Armor is a stat that will help (most of) them more than strength. Arc Hammer is losing strength in favor of armor.

  • Grants 400 hit points, 10 armor. After casting an ability, deal 5 + (150% armor) damage to nearby enemies. Restore damage dealt this way as hit points.

• Beak of Transmutation

  • Spread the Love: This change is aimed at making the non-lane safer and more reliable for tanks, while not changing the early clear potential of anyone. Right now, speed-clearing is rewarded most, and slow-clearing is punished heavily. This should weigh that scale slightly by making speed-clearing more costly by removing instant-access to mana, but rather granting it at a durability cost.

  • No longer restores 15 health and 10 mana after attacking a non-minion.

  • When attacked by a non-minion, restores 4 health and 2 mana, and deals 5 damage.

System Changes

• Jungle Monsters

  • Growing Old: The current system of monster spawning is too boring, and doesn't evolve as the game progresses. Now, the monster camps will be more punishing as the game goes on, and less of an easy avenue to gold and soul tokens.

  • Wolves: Now spawn as one Giant Wolf after 10 minutes, which attacks quickly, and has increased health, armor, and damage. The Giant Wolf is supposed to hurt - but it is more rewarding.

  • Northern Warriors: One of the three now spawns as the Chief after 10 minutes, which has increased health, armor, and damage. The Chief ignores armor when dealing damage, and has a hefty bounty on his head.

Patch Notes January 31 2025

Hero Changes

• Dark Magician

  • Mage Update: Q base damage increased by 30 at max rank, intelligence scaling increased from 75% to 90%. Armor shred now has a base modifier upon rank-up as well.

  • Q - Acid Flask: Throws acid which deals 60/90/120/150/180 + (90% intelligence) damage in a medium area and reduces the armor of each unit hit by 1/2/3/4/5 + (5% intelligence) for 3 seconds.

  • R – Warts and Boils: Two part passive ability. The hero starts with this ability.

    • Boils: Each attack deals 5/10/15/20 + 10% agility damage each second for 3 seconds.

    • Warts: When the hero takes damage that would reduce him to 75%, 50% and 25% hit points, he releases a toxic cloud and refreshes the cooldown of his W – Slip and Slide. The toxic cloud deals 50/100/150/200 + (25/50/75/100% strength) damage.

• Goblin Mech

  • Mage Update: Q base damage increased by 25 at all levels. Q scaling increased to 50% for intelligence and strength from 30%. R intelligence scaling increased to 125% from 100%.

  • Q – Sawtooth Shuriken: Launch a giant saw blade, dealing 50/75/100/125/150 + (50% intelligence) + (50% strength) damage. Cuts down trees it passes by. On the way back, it pulls all enemies with it. 14/13/12/11/10 second cooldown. 100/110/120/130/140 mana cost.

  • R – Flame Cannon: Fires a heat wave, dealing 100/200/300 + (125% intelligence) + (10% max HP) damage to enemies and launching them back. 95/85/75 second cooldown. 150 mana cost.

  • Q – Get over here: The hero sends a shockwave through the ground, dealing 50/70/90/110/130 + (80% strength) damage and pulling units in. Exhaust bonus: (60/70/80/90/100% strength) damage. 8 second cooldown.

  • W – Pulverize: Slam the ground, stunning and pushing all enemy units away. Deals 30/60/90/120/150 + (75% strength) + 10% current health damage. Exhaust - deal 10% missing health bonus damage, heal for damage dealt this way. 12/11/10/9/8 second cooldown.

• New hero: The Gluptuous Gump!

  • [Item - Ankh of Greed] Every time he kills an enemy, he gains greed rather than gold and soul tokens.1 greed for a minion or monster, 10 greed for an ogre, and 20 greed for a hero. Every 10 seconds, the Gump gains 1 gold for each greed, and 1 soul token for every 20 greed. Greed caps at 100.

  • Q - Demon Fire: The Gump launches a fireball that damages and stuns one target for 0.3 seconds. If it kills the target, the Gump gains 1/2/3/4/5 damage permanently. Deals 30/45/60/75/90 + (100% base damage). 8/7/6/5/4 second cooldown. 60/70/80/90/100 mana cost.

  • W - Gump Jump: The Gump channels and swaps places with a hero after 2 seconds. They swap again after another 2 seconds. 25/22/19/16/13 second cooldown. 100 mana cost.

  • E - Retaliate: The Gump marks one target, and stores all damage taken for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, if the Gump is still alive, he unleashes that amount against the marked target. 25/22/19/16/13 second cooldown. 100 mana cost.

  • R - Dark Deal: The Gump cashes in his Greed. He deals (1/2/3% of agility, intelligence, strength, and base damage) damage to all nearby enemies for each point of Greed. 200 mana cost.

Item Changes

• Staff of Magic - reworked into Ultramagic Staff

  • Mage Update: Mages need ways to achieve a capstone outside of stalling the game. This item gives massive power to heroes who have an intelligence scaling ultimate, and takeaway a non-skillful invulnerability option.

  • Combine a Wizard Staff and a Wizard Staff and a Soulkeeper into an Ultramagic Staff.

  • +200 intelligence. Casting a spell grants +20 intelligence for 5 seconds.

Patch Notes January 21 2025

System Changes

• Hero kills now grant: 300 - (50 x Punitive Score) gold and 10 - (Punitive Score) soul tokens to all allies.
