Wrath again has claimed victory in the Drums of War. Spoils are being divided as the lands of the the Protectorate are ransacked once again.

Starting with this Drums of War, players in the top 5 of each faction will be given new* Pox Harbingers in the color of their faction. These will be available in the store at a later date. All players will receive their DoW rewards as part of tonight's downtime.

For this month's patch, we've focused on quality of life improvements as well as some faction bonus changes, bug fixes, and adjustments to map rotation.

Faction Bonuses

* Forsaken Wastes faction bonus changed to: Your Champion runes have their cooldowns reduced by 30/60%. When a friendly champion captures a nora globe by moving onto it, you gain 10/20% more nora.
* Sundered Lands faction bonus changed to: Champions you control take 1/2 less damage from attacks.

Maps

* K'thir Hill (4 fonts) changed from UNCOMMON to LIMITED rarity
* K'thir Hill (5 fonts) changed from COMMON to UNCOMMON rarity
* Added Underdepths to ranked rotation at EXOTIC rarity
* Added Ironfist Pass to ranked rotation at EXOTIC rarity

Abilities

* Enigma Shield changed to: This champion is immune to damage from champion abilities (including basic attacks) if the source is not within 4 spaces.
* Ride Down changed to: Target a champion with 15 or less HP within 3 spaces. This champion moves in a straight line through non-Impeding terrain and destroys that champion. This ability is on the attack chain.
* Sabotage: Defile changed to: The next enemy champion deployed from the runedock while this champion is in play becomes Diseased 3, Defiled and Inhibited for 8 rounds.
* Fixed an issue in which the ability Pounce could place 2x2 units outside of adjacent range and subsequently cause the attack to not trigger (WE WILL SEE NOPE)
