Inara

    - Hitting an ally with Healing potion increases your attack speed by 50% for 3s.
    - “Pip’s Acrobatics legendary was not seeing much success, but we think that Combat Medic will be a fantastic choice for players who are splitting the difference between healing allies and attacking enemies.”
Sha Lin
- General
  - Fixed Sha Lin able to emote while holding his primary fire
Skye
- Legendary Cards
  - Surprise Attack
    - Fixed a bug where this card was dealing true damage.
Talus
- Veracharger
  - Damage increased from 95 to 110
- Rune of Travel
  - Now heals Talus for 500 health.
- True Power
  - Added extra battlecry line to Talus Ultimate
- Cards
  - Revitalize
    - Healing reduced from 200/400/600/800 to 100/200/300/400.
- “We’re generally happy with the way Talus is being played and he does have a bit of a learning curve as players get used to the versatility and options provided by Rune of Travel. However, at all levels of play he was not dealing an appropriate amount of damage for his role. Furthermore, we felt that Revitalize was too necessary of a card, so we have given him some of that healing as a baseline effect.”
Torvald
- Nullify
  - Now affected by CC reduction.
  - Fixed ability only dealing 32 total damage in Shooting Range
- Recharge
  - Shield health per tick increased from 85 to 212.5

  - Total shield health returned has not been changed.
  - Cooldown increased from 10s to 15s
- Legendary Cards
  - Alternating Current
    - Duration reduced from 1.5s to 1s.
- “We’re very happy with the gameplay of Torvald now, but he’s currently an incredibly strong champion at all levels of play. First off, we wanted to make sure that Nullify could be properly countered. Secondly, we made a shift to Recharge to make sure that it was good at filling Torvald’s shields, but it wouldn’t mitigate large chunks of damage by constantly reapplying small shield amounts.”
Willo
- General
  - Fixed Hemlock Willo wings clipping in Criss-Cross MVP pose
