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 Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.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.

Recorded topics: See the original announcement. Dates refer to the update named in the notes; a mirrored post can be published later.
Jar of Dead duration and T3 change
What changed: Jar of Dead T2 no longer grants +4s Duration. T3 changes from +2 Deadheads and Deadheads applying Essence Theft to +2 Deadheads and +4s Duration.
How to adapt: If you took T2 for its Duration or T3 for Essence Theft on Deadheads, reassess those choices and compare the documented changes in testing; the notes do not specify other tier effects.
Essence Theft T3 now uses summons
What changed: Essence Theft T3 changes from +1 tether and improved targeting angle to having your summons apply Essence Theft.
How to adapt: Test this T3 if summon-applied Essence Theft fits your plan, and verify its effect in play; do not assume it retains the former tether or targeting-angle improvements.
