Patch 1.9.06: What to Play

·3 buffed·3 nerfed

The TL;DR

Phoveus rework — Fighter that hunts dashers.

What to play this patch

Phoveus mains: rework window. Ling lost a real slice of damage but is still viable. Masha / Cici / Thamuz form a strong fighter trifecta this patch.

The meta shift

Phoveus gets a full redesign: "A Fighter that pursues those who blink or dash." New mechanics enable consecutive Ultimate casts against mobility-heavy comps. Lord base HP reduced early/mid to prevent snowball pushes from stomp-prone games.
