Hayate (buff)

Hayate, known for being a highly sought-after Marksman in the current meta, impresses with his agility and massive damage output from his skills right from the early stages of the match. This card can explode standard damage, making even Tankers pale when facing him.

Despite its current strength, this card seemed unlikely to be on the list of hero buffs. However, for some magical reason (perhaps due to an upcoming new skin), Hayate has received a super-strong buff to skill 2, specifically:

Skill 2:

• Cooldown: 8/7.6/7.2/6.8/6.4/6s → fixed 6s
• Energy consumption: Fixed 110 → fixed 90

Errol (buff)

When it comes to the top warrior in the Dark Lord lane, Errol is somewhat out of the meta. His set of skills is easy to play but also easy to fall behind, so when teaming up with other popular picks, Errol truly has no chance. That's why Garena decided to buff this Liên Quân hero.

Innate Ability:

• Running speed boost per stack: 2% → 3%

Skill 2:

• Cooldown: Fixed 11s → fixed 10s

Wiro (buff)

It's been quite a while since Garena paid attention to Wiro and boosted his strength. Originally, this Liên Quân hero was not weak, but without any skin other than the default outfit, whether Wiro is strong or weak, many players hardly care. Not sure if he'll rise a bit after this buff, but Mytour predicts that Wiro will still sink into obscurity.

 Skill 3:

• Actively canceling the skill will refund cooldown time: 50% → 70%
• Self-reduction in running speed: 25% → 15%

Ming (buff)

Ming is the new hero brought by Garena from the Glorious Vindicator. Expected to be a successful collaboration, Ming, contrary to game developers' hopes, is considered a disaster with unbelievably low pick and win rates. Despite undergoing two consecutive buffs, this Liên Quân hero still remains at the bottom of the ranks with no promising signs.

In this adjustment phase, Garena continues the usual approach of buffing damage for him, similar to previous occasions. However, as mentioned in previous Mytour articles, at the current stage, what Ming needs most is crowd control effects, not damage.

Skill 1:

• Increase physical attack for allies: 15 + 9/skill level +6% magic power → 30 +12/skill level +6% magic power
• Increase magic power for allies: 24 +12/skill level +10% magic power → 45 +18/skill level +10% magic power

Skill 2:

• Increase armor: 20% +2%/skill level → 25 +3%/skill level
• Simultaneously increase corresponding armor based on 2/3 enhancement of self stats.

Cresht (buff)

Cresht is a Support hero with good resilience, but the standout feature of this octopus is his crowd control ability. When picked alongside a team that excels in aggressive play and likes to engage in battles, this Liên Quân hero can unleash maximum strength. Because he relies heavily on the team, players who dislike picking him often opt for proactive Supports that perform well in any situation.

In this power update, Garena has buffed a bit of damage and armor for Cresht, hoping that he will come back stronger.

In normal state:

 Skill 1:

• Damage phase 1 (Divine Scene): 75 +25/skill level +20% magic power → 100 +25/skill level +18% magic power

 Skill 2:

• Create a bubble layer to shield self and allies from damage: 500 +70/skill level +47% physical damage → 550 +90/skill level +50% physical damage

Rouie (adjust)

While Rouie is not highly favored in rank due to difficulty in coordination, in professional tournaments, this card is always a hot pick contended by teams. When playing Rouie, teammates need tactics and understanding among team members to achieve the maximum effectiveness. Moreover, many players use Rouie to go Mid instead of Support because the Liên Quân hero's full magic damage is not to be underestimated.

Perhaps due to the discomfort caused by the straightforward skill set and the overly evident damage output shown in tournaments, Garena has decided to slightly reduce the damage in Rouie's skill 1.

Skill 1:

• Damage phase 1 (Divine Scene): 75 +25/skill level +20% magic power → 100 +25/skill level +18% magic power
• Damage phase 2 (Divine Seal): 300 +100/skill level +80% magic power → 400 +100/skill level +72% magic power

Zip (nerf)

Zip is always a formidable card in the hands of skilled players. This catfish can do a lot, from freezing enemies and creating effects to excellent shielding.

In an effort to balance the game, Garena decided to tweak some of the power and effects in Zip's second ability. The aim is to encourage more players to pick Zip in ranked matches.

Ability 2:

• No longer pulls enemies as much, reducing the ability's healing effect: 50% → 30%
