official notes ↗

REWORK Season 9 - Jul 2026

Endsong InfernoQ strengthened, anchor synergy removed

Endsong Inferno explosion damage increased from 140 to 150, and Team-Up Anchor bonus 10% damage boost removed.

Your Ultimate hits harder solo play, but team-up synergy is weakened.

official notes ↗

NERF Season 8.5 - Jun 2026

Flanking sustain and range damage reduced

Healing over time after detonating Sparks reduced from 10/s to 5/s, and Cosmic FlamesLMB damage falloff at 30m adjusted from 75% to 65%.

You are less effective flanking alone and need more support at range.

REWORK Season 8 - May 2026

Direct hits rewarded, area explosions weakened

Cosmic FlamesLMB direct hit damage increased from 50 to 55, and explosion damage when detonating Spark marks reduced from 40 to 35.

Land precise shots for more damage; spread positioning is less dominant.

Play safer with less margin for error in engagements.

official notes ↗

official notes ↗

NERF Season 4.5 - Oct 2025

Phoenix's burst potential toned down

Melee attacks no longer stack Sparks, Primary Weapon ammo no longer replenishes during Dark AscentE, and Dark Ascent gained 1s cooldown.

Plan Spark generation more carefully; coordinate Ultimate timing with your team.

Upon hitting, it triggers an initial small explosion that briefly Stuns enemies, followed by two larger explosions that apply a Healing Reduction effect. Every single blast inflicts Sparks onto the enemies. Enhanced Effect: When teaming up with Hela, every blast in the sequence applies multiple stacks of Sparks to enemies caught within.
