ITEM BALANCE


"5.20 is the patch that HRX competition games will be played on. We want to allow sufficient practice time for all pros to practice in the current meta. Some will be doing much more traveling than others. For this reason there are minimal balance changes in this patch. Hera is the only exception as she is not allowed in pro play yet."
  • No Item Changes

GOD BALANCE


Hera

"Hera has graced the battleground with her presence and has been creating a great amount of community discussion. We specifically intended to avoid an OP release with Hera. It seems we succeeded but we went too far, and she is clearly undertuned."

"Hera's focus going forward will be her control. As a divine leader, she has influence over others. We will be looking to buff parts of her kit that align with this theme, while also adding a few damage increases to bring her in line with other mages."

Commanding Presence
  • Damage from Royal Assault and Polymorph also reduces the cooldown of Divine Shroud by 0.33s
Royal Assault
  • Increased base damage from 75/120/165/210/255 to 80/130/180/230/280
Polymorph
  • Polymorphed enemies are now Slowed by 20%
Divine Shroud
  • Fixed the in game description to accurately state how much shielding Hera receives
  • Increased Shield Health from 40/80/120/160/200 + 15 Per level to 50/100/150/200/250 + 20 Per Level. (Maximum increased from 500 HP to 600 HP)
Argus, the Defender
  • Increased deploy range from 55 to 65 units.
  • Increased maximum leash range from 85 to 125.
  • Increased Protections gained from 15/20/25/30/35 Physical Protections and 15 Magical Protections to 25/30/35/40/45 of both Protections.
  • Increased Argus' Health from 700/1275/1850/2425/3000 to 700/1400/2100/2800/3500 Health.
  • Increased Crash Landing Damage scaling from 35% to 55% Magical Power.
  • Argus Attack - Increased targeter range from 65 units to 80 units.
  • Argus 2nd Attack in Hit Chain
    • Reduced self movement penalty on Argus's Ground Slam windup from 50% to 35%.

What is this "Season 5 HRX Digital Loot Pack"? Never heard of it before so I don't know what it is and had a hard time trying to look it up.

I already saw, but I never tried to know more about this pack before. People on facebook are saying that it costs 1500 Gems and if in the pack comes everything described worth in my opinion.

And it's just like an available purchase from the store using gems?

Yes, It will cost 1500 but if you buy during patch 5.20 you get 20% off so you pay 1200. 1200 for all those items totally worth in my opinion. 100 gem for each item.

Yeah 1200 gems for all that seems like a good deal to me too. The "HRX digital loot pack" was a new term to me and just threw me for a loop I guess. Thanks for the info.
