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 Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.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. Dates refer to the update named in the notes; a mirrored post can be published later.

Venator joins the ritual

What changed: The announcement describes Consecrating Grenade as softening enemies and preventing them from restoring health, Hex-Lined Snap Trap as scattering across the ground to lock enemies in place, Gutshot as knocking back enemies who get too close, and Ira Domini as ridding the world of evil when the time is right. It provides no numerical or balance details.

How to adapt: Test each ability in play to learn its actual timing and practical use; the announcement does not specify effects beyond these descriptions, or give ranges, durations, cooldowns or damage values.
