In Dota Underlords, a major update was released on June 25th on Steam and mobile devices iOS and Android, which completely changes the balance. There are clear winners and losers in Valve’s autobattle. We take a look at the patch notes.
We summarize the patch notes of Dota Underlords briefly for you, in winners and losers, before we then show you the full patch notes.
These are the winners in the new update:
The patch brings the previously weakest Alliance “Dragons” up, which was at the bottom of the tier list.
In the future, several special abilities will be unlocked for all dragons when multiple dragons are in play and the alliance bonus is active.
For example, the Dragon Knight receives 1000/2000/4000 health points, remains in dragon form, and gains 10 health regeneration points.
The knights also become significantly stronger in the patch, as they receive even more damage reduction when standing next to other knights. The Chaos Knight is additionally strengthened here. Knights were considered significantly too weak in the current tier lists as well.
These are the losers in the update:
The big loser of the patch is the mage. The Keeper of Light gets fewer health points, and his ability “Illuminate” becomes more expensive.
He could previously stand in the farthest corner of the field and send his killer horses into action. This will be more difficult in Dota Underlords now. Because it will be harder to survive long enough with him.
In addition, there is a new item “Pipe of Insight” that targets mages. It grants 50% magic resistance as soon as the first opponent reaches 100% mana.
These are the patch notes for the update on June 25th in full length:
We quote the patch notes from Valve.
- Field adjusted: Light and shadow intensity optimized.
- Combat sounds on other players’ fields can now also be heard from your field.
- New logic for opponent selection: This fixes the reported behavior where some of you kept facing the same opponent.
- PC/Mobile: Many performance optimizations.
- Mobile: Storage calculation while downloading content corrected.
- Corrected that unit attributes did not consider all items and global effects before combat began.
- Bug fixed where own units did not activate spells after Pudge pulled an opponent.
- Global item for trolls (Coordinated Storm Attack): Effect now stacks.
- The AI now targets abilities on the ground under a unit rather than directly at a unit. This prevents floating spell effects when the target unit is currently flying through the air.
