    Official source

    TipYour projectile retrieval heal is now significantly weaker, making you more reliant on other sources of sustain.

    Official source

  • 1. Loki's Mischievous Metamorphosis: Fixed a bug where, if Loki used his Ultimate Ability to transform into a costumed Adam Warlock and was KO'd and revived via Regenerative Cocoon, he'd come back wearing Adam's default costume. No more wardrobe malfunctions in the Multiverse!
  • 2. Ultron's Palm Pilot Precision: Tweaked the starting points for Ultron's Encephalo-Ray and Nano-Ray attacks so they now fire perfectly from his palm. Less off-align blasts, more robotic perfection!
  • 3. Luna Snow's Dance Upgrade: Polished the animation for Luna Snow's Ultimate Ability. Her moves are now smooth enough to impress even Star-Lord at a Guardians dance-off. Luna's Cool Summer Costume will be fixed next patch to nail the perfect dance dancing on the center of her Jellyfish.

24 Sep 2025 › Heroes
