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 Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.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. Dates refer to the update named in the notes; a mirrored post can be published later.
Guardian damage changes
What changed: Both independent search ranges used to gather allied heroes for soul consideration are reduced by 5m. Subtracting that reduction from the stated old ranges of 50m from the orb and 35m from the trooper-killing hero gives calculated new ranges of 45m and 30m.
How to adapt: When testing Guardian fights, account for the increased damage to troopers and measure how the increased damage from troopers and players affects the encounter.
Soul-consideration search ranges
What changed: Both independent search ranges used to gather allied heroes for soul consideration are reduced by 5m: 50m from the orb and 35m from the hero who killed the trooper become 45m and 30m, respectively.
How to adapt: When testing which allied heroes are considered for souls, check positions relative to both the orb and the hero who killed the trooper; the notes do not specify outcomes for particular positions.
Respawn timing
What changed: The noted respawn timing moves from 40 minutes to 35 minutes; no respawn duration is given.
How to adapt: For matches near the changed timing, verify the respawn behavior at 35 minutes rather than assuming the previous 40-minute timing still applies.
