REWORK Season 10 - Sep 2026

Invulnerability traded for damage reduction

Remove the invincibility effect during Phantom PursuitE.
New Effect: Now grants 50% Damage Reduction and Unstoppable while casting Phantom Pursuit.
Reduce Fortune consumed to cast Phantom Pursuit from 300 to 250, and reduce Fortune gained when hitting enemies from 150 to 125.
Increase Helmet of Hades duration from 2s to 3s and adjust Movement Boost decay from 2s to 3s.
New Effect: When using the Helmet of Hades, Black Cat's movement trail will now be visible, and her full form will be revealed periodically.
Increase the volume of Black Cat's footstep sound effects.
When selecting the Team-Up with Black Panther, add New Effect: Upon hitting an enemy with the ability, gain 50 Fortune per enemy hit, capped at 100.

Phantom Pursuit no longer makes you untouchable - you take half damage and cannot be stopped. You can still commit, but not into everything.

BINDING TIES
