Developer Comment: Many of Qhira's Revolving Swing talents have never really captured the attention of Qhira players, as they often leave Qhira spinning out. We're giving these buffs a whirl to see how they play out.

Updates

Talents

• Level 7
  • The Thirst [Q]
    • Adjusted functionality: Carnage heals for 50% of the damage dealt to enemy Heroes. Anytime Carnage damages an enemy Hero, Qhira's next Basic Attack within 4 seconds against an enemy Hero deals 15% additional damage, stacking up to 10 times.
  • Siphoning Link [E]
    • Additional functionality: Qhira heals for 20% of her damage dealt by Basic Attacks.
• Level 16
  • Lingering Ailment [E]
    • Additional functionality: Enemy Heroes hit by Grappling Hook have their Armor reduced by 15 for 3 seconds.
  • Swing Life Away [E]
    • Cooldown recharge rate increased from 200% to 250%.

Developer Comment: We're making some simple talent changes that should help Qhira's tiers be more competitive. Siphoning link in particular should be a lot more attractive now that it provides a bonus that is not reliant on hitting her Revolving Sweep, which is on a fairly long cooldown.

Updates

Base

• Health increased from 1950 to 2000.
• Health regeneration increased from 4.06 to 4.17.

Talents

  • Finishing Touch [Passive]
    • Basic Attack damage bonus increased from 15% to 20%.
    • Basic Attack damage bonus to enemy Heroes below 50% Health increased from 15% to 20%.

    • Spell Armor duration increased from 2 to 2.5 seconds.
• Level 20
  • Silent Killer [R1]
    • No longer Silences enemy Heroes on its initial cast.
    • Additional functionality: Enemy Heroes who are hit by Unrelenting Strikes are Silenced for .5 seconds.

Developer Comment: It's been awhile since we've made any large changes to Qhira. She is a little underperforming, so we're buffing her Health and making some changes to various talents to improve their competitiveness and Qhira's overall power. Fatal Wounds is currently representing too much of her power pie, so we're reducing that talent's power while improving various other parts of her tree to compensate.

Updates

Talents

• Level 1
  • Finishing Touch [Passive]
    • Modified functionality: Gain 15% Basic Attack damage. When you Basic Attack a Hero below 50% Health, gain an additional 15% Basic Attack damage and 35% Attack Speed for 3 seconds.

Developer Comment: Qhira continues to sit in a really Healthy spot overall, but Finishing Touch was well being well out-performed by her other Level 1 Talents. We are hoping that this buff helps equalize the Talent Tier!

Developer Comment: Qhira has been performing well since her release, though due to a bug with Fatal Wounds that we recently fixed she was initially quite a bit more powerful than intended. We're making these changes in the meantime to get her into a more appropriate place while we wait for more data to come in.

Bug Fixes

• Grappling Hook should no longer pull her after she has been Rooted.
• Grappling Hook visuals should clean up correctly if she dies at the same time it connects.
• Revolving Sweep kinetics have been cleaned up and should play nicer with sub-game-loop interactions.
• Unleashed Potential talent will no longer cause ability resets when killing Illusions.
