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 Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.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.
Reassess outer-lane zipline rotations
What changed: Hero speed on outer ziplines increased by 20% relative to inner lanes. The note compares this with troopers being faster on outer-lane ziplines, without giving a trooper speed figure.
How to adapt: When choosing a rotation, test whether the faster outer-lane zipline helps with your destination and timing; the change alone does not establish that an outer route is always the better choice.
Account for the shorter initial respawn
What changed: Initial respawn time decreased from 12 seconds to 8 seconds.
How to adapt: After an early death, check the initial respawn timer before coordinating a return; this note does not state that later respawns changed.
Expect the Urn to drop on Mirage's Traveler
What changed: The Urn now drops when teleporting with Mirage's Traveler.
How to adapt: If Mirage is carrying the Urn, account for it dropping when using Traveler rather than relying on the teleport to retain it.
Do not rely on shop shots to increase these effects
What changed: A fix addresses Wraith Cards, Shiv Rage, and lifesteal increasing when shooting the shop.
How to adapt: Do not use shop shots to build these effects; if checking the fix, compare the named values before and after shooting the shop in a controlled test.
