From The Designers

In this patch, we have adjusted the attributes and Mana Costs of most Mid Lane Mages to bring them closer to the average level. We have also made specific adjustments to certain strong and weak Mages. We hope to see more heroes picked in the Mid Lane.

I. New Hero

Marcel

New hero

Soul Photographer

Marcel

Support

Marcel, Hailing from House Paxley, he is an elegant, mysterious, and bizarre artist whose split soul has fused with his camera.

PassivePlatinum Snap
  • Marcel's camera, Clemar, will automatically snap photos of nearby enemy heroes, dealing True Damage and granting a shield to Marcel and an allied hero.
  • Marcel's Basic Attacks deal damage based on his Hybrid Defense but cannot Crit. Marcel cannot benefit from extra Attack Speed, and Extra HP will be converted into Hybrid Defense.
Skill 1Framed Moment
  • Clemar focuses on an area around Marcel, slowing enemy heroes in range. After a duration, he completes the shot, dealing AOE Damage and immobilizing enemies.
Skill 2Tracking Shot
  • Marcel enters the Tracking Haste state, gaining Movement Speed, which increases further when moving toward enemy heroes. Use Again within the duration to dash in the target direction. If Framed Moment is active, Clemar will remain at the original location.
UltimateGolden Hour
  • After a short delay, Clemar takes a wide-angle shot of the target area for 3s, putting all units in the area into Stasis except Marcel. All targets in range are immobilized and immune to all damage and Regen from anyone other than Marcel.
