Patch Notes V.1.6.64 [Advanced Server]

Anand

I. Revamped Hero

[Revamped Hero: The Alchemist - Faramis]

We're making a few adjustments to Faramis' skill set.

[Passive - Vicious Retrieval]
Now only skill hits on enemy heroes will produce soul fragments. Faramis now also has increased absorption range, HP regen, and shortened respawn time.

[Skill 1 - Shadow Stampede]
Faramis can now move through obstacles in the Shadow state. He may also choose to actively leave the state to pull marked enemies toward him early.

[Ultimate - Cult Altar]
Faramis enters the Specter state and turns his surroundings into the Nether Realm for a while. Allied heroes who enter the Realm will also enter the Specter state. Heroes in the Specter state will gain extra HP and a burst of extra Movement Speed.
