Related Patch Notes

Patch LinkDatePatch NamePatch Notes
Version 21.000.121 November 2022Beyond the Veil UpdateWith Arcane Staffs so strong in Crystal League, and Enigma Blade often outshining other W abilities, Flicker’s cooldown has been increased to dampen this ability somewhat. This will add depth to the ability, as casters can choose whether to only use Enigma Blade, or to also gain extra mobility at the cost of higher cooldown. To make Frazzle more useful, it again has "damage taken increase" effect on targets, independent of resistances. This allows for more unique damage-amplifying roles.
  • Enigma Blade (all Arcane Staffs):
    • Flicker Cooldown: 15s → 20s
  • Frazzle (all Arcane Staffs):
    • Energy cost: 9 → 7% of Max energy
    • Now reduces Bonus Defense vs players and mobs by 30%
    • Removed the Resistance Reduction
Version 20.070.15 October 2022Into the Fray Patch 7Arcane Staffs

The recent Arcane Staff rework made them very popular, but also created a few issues. Firstly, their damage output in 5v5 was too high, so to tone this down consecutive jumps of Chain Missile now deal significantly less damage. This also offers more counter play through body-blocking the projectile to reduce damage to the backline. Its damage in 1v1 is unchanged. Enigma Blade provided a little too much value for a W-slot ability, so its damage output has been toned down a bit. Great Arcane provides a lot of utility in ZvZ and is especially strong as a defensive weapon. The main intended counter to this is to bait the Time Freeze out before committing fully to an attack - however, the short invulnerability window allowed Time Freeze to be chained quite frequently in a large-scale fight. To make a baited Time Freeze more impactful, players are now invulnerable to a further Time Freeze for a significantly longer time. Finally, Dark Sphere’s recent buffs made it much more reliable, but this reliability made its slow too oppressive. The strength of its slow has now been reduced accordingly.

  • Chain Missile (all Arcane Staffs):
    • Arcane Charge Duration: 6s → 3s
    • Projectile Bounce Range: 8m → 7m
    • Damage for each bounce after the first: 121 → 60 (The first target hit still takes 121 damage)
  • Enigma Blade (all Arcane Staffs):
    • Damage: 180 → 165
  • Time Freeze (Great Arcane):
    • Cooldown increased by 10s
    • Player Immunity after a Player Freeze: 5s → 15s
    • The Time Freeze Immunity is now displayed as a visual buff on players
  • Dark Sphere (Evensong):
    • Slow Strength: 25% → 15%
Version 20.050.125 August 2022Into the Fray Patch 5
  • Enigma Blade (all Arcane Staffs):
    • Damage: 200 → 180
  • Dark Sphere (Evensong):
    • Base Cooldown: 48s → 42s
    • Cooldown Reduction per 100 IP: 1.5s → 1s
    • Version 19.060.12 March 2022Lands Awakened Patch 6To make Mimic more flexible and less punishing, stealing an ability no longer triggers the cooldown if the ability is not used.
    • Mimic (all Arcane Staffs):
      • Timeout Cooldown 20s → 0s
    Version 18.110.113 October 2021Call to Arms Patch 11The Locus is a very strong support weapon in ZvZs. Previously it served a dual role when the frontline engaged or was engaged by removing the enemy’s buffs and cleansing all allies, thereby acting as both offensive and defensive support. To encourage more considered decisions in these situations, the Purge effect of the Void has been removed. This opens up the ZvZ meta to other support weapons, with less focus on this single item. Additionally, the max target count for Motivating Cleanse was increased to make it more useful in large-scale fights.
    • Motivating Cleanse (all Arcane Staffs):
      • Max affected targets: 5 → 10
    • Void (Malevolent Locus):
      • No longer purges enemies
    Version 18.090.128 July 2021Call to Arms Patch 9Added four new icons to better represent the corresponding abilities:

    • Ground Shaker (Maces, W-slot)
    Version 18.040.16 May 2021Call to Arms Patch 4 (Balance Patch)Arcane Staffs

    While Black Hole finds its uses in PvE, its cast range has been increased to make it more attractive in PvP. The adjustment to Dark Sphere is primarily for server performance, as reducing it from 5 to 3 auras ensures better performance in large fights.

    • Black Hole (Witchwork Staff):
      • Cast Range: 11m → 14m
    • Dark Sphere (Evensong):
      • Max Enemy targets to get an Aura: 5 → 3
