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 Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.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: Fixes. Dates refer to the update named in the notes; a mirrored post can be published later.
Reassess neutral farming value
What changed: Neutral bounty increased by 5%. A fix released the previous day addressed later-game bounty being reduced by more than the intended 15%.
How to adapt: Test neutral farming against lane and objective priorities again, especially later in a match; the notes do not quantify total bounty at different stages.
Plan around an earlier Sinner’s Sacrifice
What changed: Sinner’s Sacrifice’s initial spawn time changed from 10 minutes to 8 minutes; its respawn interval remains 5 minutes.
How to adapt: Check the map and coordinate around the first spawn two minutes earlier than before, while keeping the five-minute interval in mind for subsequent spawns.
Reevaluate defensive item choices
What changed: Restorative Locket no longer grants +10% Spirit Resist, and Divine Barrier’s shields were reduced from 260 to 230.
How to adapt: If choosing either item for these defensive effects, test whether it still meets that need: Locket no longer provides the listed Spirit Resist, while Barrier provides a smaller shield.
