“The Season 5 Saga continues! Some heroes are leveling up, others are feeling the bite. Guangguang and Zhiyong reveal fresh combos and crossovers.”

The mid-season update for season five shifts Emma Frost's position (she loses her Anchor synergy but receives HP compensation) and significantly expands Ultron's role within the team.

Highlights

  • 💎 Emma Frost: Anchor removed, +50 HP compensation. The Mental Projection synergy has been removed. Emma receives a new ability Iced Out Diamond in Chilling Assault.
  • 🤖 Ultron — dual support. Imperative: Patch now works on 2 allies simultaneously. Imperative: Firewall has been completely reworked.
  • 🌟 Luna Snow — Number One Idol on herself. Luna can now apply the buff to herself — converting a portion of ally healing into her own + bonuses to healing and damage.
  • ❌ Mental Projection removed. The synergy has been completely removed.

Seasonal Balance Focus

  • Blade — melee damage is higher, Bloodline Awakening anti-heal is weaker.
  • Scarlet Witch — accumulates Chthonian Burst faster, pulls enemies more strongly.
  • Human Torch — more precise melee, weaker ranged.
