REWORK Season 10 - Sep 2026

Bigger shield, faster energy, mixed stance economy

  • Increase Regenerative Shield capacity from 250 to 275.
  • Increase Energy regeneration speed while Defensive StanceRMB is inactive from 15/s to 25/s.
  • Increase Energy consumption speed while Defensive Stance is active from 50/s to 60/s (Increase Defensive Stance effect coverage rate from 23% to 30%).
  • Increase the Maximum Health gained when using Ability AbsorptionF on a Vanguard from 125 to 150.
Defensive Stance drains faster but covers far more, and energy refills much quicker when it is off. Use it in short bursts.

FIX Season 9.5 - Aug 2026

Stolen ability descriptions no longer glitch

Stealing certain heroes' abilities could cause abnormal text displays on the in-match ability description panel, and that display bug is fixed.

If you had stopped reading the description panel because it printed broken text on certain steals, it is trustworthy again. Read what the borrowed ability actually says before you commit to using it.

NERF Season 9 - Jul 2026

Damage reduction and burst damage nerfed, health reworked to include regenerative shield

  • Damage reduction in Defensive StanceRMB reduced from 60% to 55%
  • Southern BrawlLMB maximum bonus damage reduced from 90 to 75
  • base health reduced from 650 to 350 with 225 regenerative shield added (total health reduced from 650 to 575).
You are squishier and burst less; play around cover, pre-activate Defensive Stance before tanking damage, and avoid solo brawls.

  • Defensive Stance absorbed damage energy conversion rate increased from 0.27 to 0.35
