Patch date: . Guide reviewed 2026-11-03. Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.
How this guide was prepared: AI-assisted analysis with a separate source-check pass against archived official notes. Practical decisions are reasoned suggestions, not player-tested results or measured win-rate evidence. A small hotfix receives a short guide rather than a reconstructed full build.
Original update sources
Recorded topics: See the original announcement. Dates refer to the update named in the notes; a mirrored post can be published later.
Calico: reassess damage and movement timing
What changed: Leaping Slash T2 damage decreases from +75 to +60. Return to Shadows’ cooldown increases from 90s to 100s and its speed decreases from +50% to +30%; T2 now also grants +20% speed.
How to adapt: Test Return to Shadows at the relevant ability level and verify how its T2 speed bonus applies; do not assume the old cooldown or speed values still hold.
Holliday: allow for slower keg cycling
What changed: Powder Keg’s cooldown between charges increases from 2s to 3.5s. Bounce Pad T2 damage decreases from +100 to +80.
How to adapt: Recheck the timing of successive Powder Keg charges and reassess Bounce Pad T2 damage expectations before relying on the previous values.
Sinclair: account for Rabbit Hex’s area delay
What changed: Rabbit Hex is now an AoE target ability in the base, with a 0.7s delay before the area is affected. Its cast range increases from 20m to 30m, its listed movement-speed value decreases from 35% to 15%, and its cooldown decreases from 45s to 35s. Sinclair’s bullet damage decreases by 15% while bullet velocity increases from 86 to 340. Audience Participation range increases from 10m to 20m and copy duration decreases from 20s to 10s. Spectral Assistant and Rabbit Hex receive new VFX, and Sinclair receives various new and improved SFX.
How to adapt: Practice placing Rabbit Hex with its stated delay in mind, and recheck bullet leading after the velocity change. Plan around Audience Participation’s shorter copy duration; the notes do not specify other gameplay effects for the audiovisual updates.
Wraith: lower base radius and damage
What changed: Card Trick’s base radius decreases from 5m to 4m, and Telekinesis base damage decreases from 175 to 140.
How to adapt: Recheck Card Trick’s base-radius coverage and Telekinesis damage expectations; these notes specify base values, not changes to other ability levels.
Items: account for removed bonuses and lower cap
What changed: Ammo Scavenger’s maximum stacks decrease from 20 to 18 and it no longer grants +40 health. Extra Stamina no longer grants +4% Fire Rate; Restorative Shot no longer grants +3% Weapon Damage.
How to adapt: Reassess builds that relied on these listed bonuses or Ammo Scavenger’s former cap, and avoid counting the removed bonuses when comparing item choices.
