Boons

• Change: Base HP reduced by 10 for all heroes

Guardians

Combat

• Change: Movespeed diminish point increased from 11 to 12 (very slightly less aggressive diminishing scaling)

Map

Movement

• Change: Sliding no longer resets sprint speed
• Change: Stamina Regeneration is reduced by 25% for 5s after using a Wall Jump. This does not trigger when out of combat or when mantling soon after.
• Change: Smoothed zipline grabbing to fix some jitter

• Removed: Removed delay on ziplines when using alternative key binds

Troopers

• Change: Medic trooper heal duration increased from 2s to 4s (same overall heal amount)

Urn

• Change: We are experimenting with an alternate set of Urn mechanics. Please give us your thoughts on this after you've played with it some.
• Change: To pickup the Urn, rather than standing in place to channel, you now light or heavy melee the Urn to pick it up.
• Change: The Urn is now always dropped off on top of the bridge on the middle of the map.
• Change: Once dropped off, the Urn will go into a "Depositing" phase for a set amount of time, depending on which team the urn favors (3s/5s/10s for Favored/Neutral/Unfavored).
• Change: While in the Depositing phase, the enemy team can Heavy Melee the urn to have their team claim it and cause it to switch sides. This adds +1.25s to that team's timer.
• Change: If the urn is Favored or Unfavored (in a comeback state), then the Favored team will get +50% Bullet and Spirit Resist in a 60m radius around the urn while it is being carried, dropped or deposited.
• Change: After 35s (aggregate time held per team), the carrier will start taking 5% Max HP damage per second (previously was 45s and 0.15% Max HP damage).
• Change: Urn damage is lethal
• Change: Like before, when the Urn is fumbled, it will wait 13s if there is a player within 25m. However afterwards, with this new version, it can no longer be picked up anymore and will very quickly run back to its spawn position.
• Change: No longer silences you while carrying. You are still disarmed and movement silenced.
• Removed: No longer grants +30% Bullet and Spirit Resist while carrying it
• Change: Area around deposting the urn is revealed (urn runner is also revealed as usual)
• Change: The rules for Favored/Unfavored remain the same (+15% soul difference for the first urn at 10:00, +10% for all future urns)
• Change: Souls are all instant after the deposit is complete
• Change: All rewards are the same. The last person to contest the urn gets the +3 Golden Idol buffs, falling back to the original carrier if nobody contested it.
