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 Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.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.
Blasted: stronger amp, shorter duration
What changed: Blasted bullet amp rises from 8% to 9%, and cooldown falls from 30s to 27s. Base duration falls from 8.5s to 8.0s, with heavy-melee duration reduced from 5.0s to 4.5s.
How to adapt: Test whether the shorter cooldown creates more useful chances to activate Blasted, while timing activations around its reduced base and heavy-melee durations.
Blasted health changes vary by upgrade
What changed: Blasted’s base health boost increases from 75 to 80, while its T3 health boost decreases from +65 to +50. Health-boost Spirit scaling falls from 0.9x to 0.8x, and Blasted no longer gives bonus health from objectives.
How to adapt: Check the health boost at the upgrade level you use; the base increase does not mean every upgrade level gains health. Do not count objective bonuses toward Blasted health after this change.
Billy’s baseline health adjustments
What changed: Health regeneration increases from 2.5 to 3.0, while health per boon decreases from 44 to 43.
How to adapt: Account for the regeneration increase and lower health per boon separately when comparing Billy’s sustain; the notes do not establish a net result across situations.
Chain Gang line-of-sight timing
What changed: Chain Gang’s time to break line of sight increases by 0.1s.
How to adapt: Test whether the extra 0.1s changes Chain Gang’s reliability when line of sight is interrupted; the notes support only a small timing adjustment.
