I. Hero Adjustments

The following uses (↑) (↓) (~) to indicate Buff, Nerf, and Adjustment.

[Xavier] (↑)

Early game damage greatly increased.

[Skill 1] (↑)
Base Damage: 240-440 >> 300-500
Mana Cost: 60-85 >> 70-130

[Melissa] (↑)

Detonating dolls wasn't as fun as we'd thought and didn't really fit into the original hero design, so we're making the following adjustments in hopes of enhancing the connection between Melissa and her dolls.

[Skill 1] (↓)
Revamped: Pulls Muddles toward Melissa (Instead of the enemy).
Attack Speed Boost: 50-100% >> 50-75%
Mana Cost: 45-70 >> 80-105

[Skill 2] (↑)
Revamped: Muddles can no longer be detonated by Melissa's basic attacks but will instead remain bound to the enemy. Initial attack range reduced while binding range greatly increased.
Damage Transfer Ratio: 50% >> 100%
Cooldown: 13-8s >> 3-1.5s
Mana Cost: 80-105 >> 50-0

[Ultimate] (↑)
New Effect: The border of the Field of Protection now interrupts enemies' movement skills.

[Beatrix] (↓)

Beatrix's been dominating the early game with her unique weapons, so we're taking away some of the firepower from her early basic attacks.

[Basic Attack] (↓)
Initial damage greatly reduced, but will gradually increase as Beatrix levels up.

[Silvanna] (↑)

We're further nerfing Silvanna's Skil 2 but boosting her Basic Attack as compensation.

[Passive] (↑)
Attack Speed Ratio: 80% >> 100%
Basic Attack's Magic Bonus: 60% >> 75%

[Skill 2] (↓)
Pulling force slightly reduced.

[Diggie] (↑)

Diggie found a new way to enhance his owl alarm bombs.

[Skill 1] (↑)
Base Damage: 500-800 >> 400-600
Magic Power Bonus: 120% >> 100%
No longer runs on charges, with reduced cooldown.
Activation delay slightly reduced.
New Effect: Diggie gains a stack that increases the alarm's explosion damage each time his owl alarm hits an enemy hero. He loses half the stacks upon death, but will gain a stack each time his skill hits an enemy hero when in the egg form.

[Atlas] (↑)

Northern Vale has bestowed Atlas with newfound power.

[Passive] (↑)
Frigid Breath Revamped: Enemies that remain within the area over 3s will be frozen for 1.5s and have their Attack Speed reduced by 50% for 3s afterward. The same target cannot be frozen again within 3s.
