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 Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.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: Heroes, Gameplay, Fixes. Dates refer to the update named in the notes; a mirrored post can be published later.
Check soul splitting against lane assignment
What changed: Before 10 minutes, orbs now split when a lane has more heroes than its assigned participants: 3 or more in a dual lane, or 2 or more in a solo lane. Previously, splitting required 3 or more people regardless of lane.
How to adapt: When testing early lane rotations or contested souls, compare the number of heroes in the lane with its assigned size; the notes do not specify split amounts or behavior after 10 minutes.
Assign lanes in private lobbies
What changed: Private lobbies can now assign players to duo and solo lanes.
How to adapt: For private-lobby practice or testing, assign players to the intended lane types before evaluating the soul-splitting rule; the notes do not state that this feature applies to other modes.
Vindicta Flight fixes
What changed: The update fixes recent Vindicta Flight bugs that could cause large directional bursts and fixes being able to shoot while using Ethereal Shift and flying with Vindicta.
How to adapt: When testing these interactions, check for unintended directional bursts and whether shooting is blocked under the specified Ethereal Shift and flight conditions; the notes establish no broader combat-performance change.
Veil Walker fire-rate reduction
What changed: Veil Walker’s fire rate is reduced from 30% to 20%.
How to adapt: If comparing setups that use Veil Walker, account for its lower stated fire-rate bonus and retest whether it suits your intended use; the notes provide no other item changes or build guidance.
