Latest Patch Update

  • Herald Skills with Attack Hits now properly state their hits cannot be evaded. This is not a functional change, just a descriptive one.
  • Herald of Ash quality now provides “An additional +0-5% of Overkill damage contributes to base Ignite Damage”, instead of the previous “Ignite surrounding enemies if Overkill damage is at least 0-2% of Enemy's Maximum Life” benefit that was actively detrimental.
  • The on-kill effects of Herald skills can no longer trigger from kills caused by Herald skills.
