FIX
Season 9.5 - Aug 2026
Astral FlockShift no longer strands Hela on Wakanda maps
Fixed an issue where Hela could become paralyzed in place when casting Astral Flock after rising in Thoth's Wrath zones on Wakanda maps.
The stall hit when you cast Astral Flock after rising in a Thoth's Wrath zone on Wakanda maps, so if you had trained yourself to wait before flocking there, you can drop that habit. The same patch also fixes a Lady Loki animation bug on the Hela Team-Up Ability, Villain's Illusion.
REWORK
Season 9 - Jul 2026
Nightsword damage and Crow form mobility massively buffed
Base damage increased from 70 to 80; falloff adjusted from 70% at 30m to 75% at 35m; Astral FlockShift allows free directional flight in crow form; Team-Up Anchor bonus removed.
Much stronger at range with improved damage curve and unrestricted mobility; adapt around lost team-up bonus.
