KHEPRI, THE DAWN BRINGER

At dawn, the sun lifts above the horizon, bathing mankind in color and life. At dusk, it sinks beneath the edge of the world, lost to sight, casting all into darkness. While the sun shines on the realm of mortal kind, it is radiant Ra that guides it, but at night we share the sun with the underworld. It is not Ra that moves the sun along its subterranean path but Khepri, the scarab God, he who comes with the dawn.

Scarabs form dirt and dung into perfect spheres. Within, they lay eggs from which their young emerge fully formed. Using powerful arms and legs, scarabs can roll these spheres many times their own size at incredible distances. It is from their father, Khepri, the sacred scarab gained this power. For the Dawn Bringer, the Sun is his sphere and all souls, living and dead, his children.

Khepri is a guardian, a protector and a friend. He is a symbol of power and loyalty. Usually content to stay aloof, Khepri has risen for battle to defend existence from this shattering war. He will fight to shield us until the final sunset.

Yet, it is he that brings the dawn.

ABILITIES

Fortitude (Passive)
Every 5s, Khepri applies a shield to himself and nearby allied gods for 2% of the target’s Maximum Health for 15s. The rate is slowed to every 10s while in combat. (Max 10%)

Abduct
Khepri lunges forward, dealing damage to enemies he passes through. If he connects with an enemy god he stops, grabs them, and starts pulling them backwards. Enemies are silenced for the duration of the pull..

Rising Dawn
Khepri rolls the sun forward, setting ablaze all enemies it touches, reducing physical protections, and dealing damage over time. Allies that are hit take reduced damage from enemies for the duration.

Solar Flare
Khepri calls down the sun’s ire at the target location, dealing damage and rooting all targets in the area.

Scarab’s Blessing
Khepri blesses an allied god, immediately cleansing them of all crowd control as well as granting them Power, Movement Speed, and immunity to slow effects. If the marked ally would die while blessed, they are instead revived with a percentage of their maximum Health at Khepri’s location.

Imperator Khepri –

100 Gems

Ancile
+20 Physical Power
+40 Magical Protection
+15% Cooldown Reduction.

BALANCE CHANGES

Updated grammar in tooltips for the following gods: He Bo, Hel, Hercules, Hun Batz, Isis, Janus, and Kali.
Increased voice volume for the following gods: Agni Infernal, Anubis Stargazer, Apollo Curse Voice, Athena Liberté, Chaac Standard, Cupid Lucky Baby Fuwa, Chronos Super Chronos 64, Fenrir Lord Slashington III, He Bo He Bro, Hou Yi Standard, and Sobek Standard.
Fixed persisting FX after cancelling recalls on the following: Agni; Ah Muzen Cab; Cupid; Freya; Guan Yu; He Bo; Isis; Mercury; Nu Wa; Odin; Poseidon; Rama; Sun Wukong; Thanatos; Tyr; and Ymir.

AH PUCH
We removed the Slow on his Ultimate entirely. His Ultimate was too potent and offered little counterplay, especially when paired with the Slow on his Undead Surge. We like his burst playstyle and zone control, but we felt the Ultimate granted him too much safety, and removing the Slow takes away some of this safety.

Fleeting Breath: Fixed this skill dealing unintended damage. The bonus damage was counting an extra heal stack.

Empty the Crypts: No longer Slows enemies hit by Wraiths.

AO KUANG

King of the Eastern Seas: Fixed issue with Restricted Camera.

Wild Storm: Fixed Polynomicon Passive activating on target when cast at max range.

ATHENA
Preemptive Strike: Fixed being able to reset her Basic Attack progression when spam cancelling ability.

Defender of Olympus:

Fixed her arrival fx persisting on Ally after her death.
Fixed audio from ability persisting after death.

AWILIX
Moonlight Charge: Fixed knockup duration being shortened if target was jumping.

Gravity Surge: Fixed an issue where could not pull Hou Yi during Divebomb.

Feather Step: Fixed ability resetting the Basilisk and Boar in Arena.

BACCHUS
Fixed some missing voice over lines when destroying objectives.

BELLONA
Bellona’s kit has many strengths, and in this patch we wanted to hit key points where we felt this strength was too much. The Slow granted from Shield Bash was too potent for a single point investment, and late game Eagle’s Rally was coming up too often. This should allow for more counterplay at both early and late game stages.

Shield Bash: Reduced Slow from ~~30%~~ to 15/20/25/30/35%.

Eagle’s Rally: Increased Cooldown from ~~75/70/65/60/55s~~ to 75s at all ranks.

CHAAC

Thunder Strike: Fixed Mana display issue when cast with full Passive.

Rain Dance: Fixed Mana display issue when cast with full Passive.

CHANG’E

Crescent Moon: Improved the accuracy of the Arc.

CHRONOS
Rewind: Fixed FX showing up enormous to players at a distance.

FREYA
Updated weapon trails for Standard, Frost Maiden, and Mastery skins.

HADES
Pillar of Agony: New vortex FX.

HERCULES
Excavate: Fixed an issue where Hercules could not pull targets over Medusa statues.

HUN BATZ
Added additional voice lines for VGS.

JANUS
Fixed issue with Furious animation.
Through Space and Time: Can now place portals on Phoenix pedestals.

KUMBHAKARNA
Sleepy (Passive): Fixed getting stuck on top of Arena walls after being executed from Ao Kuang.

LOKI
Fixed mis-colored teeth for Mastery skins.
Fixed Loki’s hands clipping through his face on Infiltrator Victory screen.

Vanish: Updated art for buff icon.

Assassinate: Fixed Loki not playing stab animation when dealing killing blow.

NE ZHA

Wind Fire Wheels: Fixed being able to go inside towers after using on target.

NEITH
Fixed the end of match music playing over her custom Victory music.

World Weaver:

Fixed Standard voice playing when using ability with Carnaval skin.
Fixed a rare issue where ability fx persist at the end of match.

ODIN
Fixed body persisting after death.

OSIRIS
Judgement Tether: Fixed Osiris able to walk through players while ability is active.

RATATOSKR
Ratatoskr is meant to be a mobile menace. Unfortunately, his mobility made him too safe and frustrating to handle. Ratatoskr can now only Dart 3 times maximum, and his Ultimate will take longer to get Ratatoskr to safety. He should have some risk of engaging into the enemy team, and these changes should allow enemies the chance to capitalize on greedy plays.

Dart:

Decreased distance traveled from 40 to 35.
Is now limited to only 2 resets of Dart within 10s, for a maximum of 3 dashes.

Through the Cosmos: Increased setup time from 1s to 1.5s.

RAVANA
Fixed incorrect textures in the End Of Match Lobby.
Fixed body persisting after death.

Overhead Kick:

Reduced Cooldown from ~~16/15/14/13/12s~~ to 14/13/12/11/10s.
Increased damage from ~~55/90/125/160/195~~ to 70/105/140/175/210.
