Hero Refresh
Gizmoduck
Do you hear that? That’s the sweet sound of a surprise Hero Refresh! Gizmoduck recently had his Memory Disk reworked and we wanted to give him a boost to help balance him out.
Gizmoduck is a great support hero whose specialty is stealing armor from enemies and giving it to himself. The more armor Gizmoduck has, the harder he is to KO and the better he buffs his allies, making him a great counter to any armor heavy team. The changes we’ve made to him push him harder into this niche and expands his utility in PvP and Invasion.

- Increased Basic Damage

Whenever Judy uses “Deputize”, she also inspires allies with an additional Energy, Tenacity, and stacks of Hardy. After reviving from “Play Dead”, Judy Studies all enemies. Attacks that do Normal damage always crit against studied enemies.
Hiro Hamada
Robot Evasion
“Analyze” gives Hiro and Megabot an improved chance to dodge attacks instead of the usual dodge against invisible enemies.When Hiro or Megabot dodges an attack, the remaining cooldown of “Microbot Stun” is reduced.

Felix also heals all allies below a percent of their max HP “Fix It, Felix!.” “Fix It, Felix!” also removes a number of debuffs with the longest remaining durations from each ally healed by “Fix It, Felix!."

Slowed Enemies deal less damage. Whenever an ally or enemy is knocked back, Finnick gains skill power. Finnick retains a portion of this skill power between waves. The effects of this skill are stronger when the slow or knockback source isn’t Finnick.
Invasion Rewards

- Improvements
- In 2.1.10 we said we were increasing the overall gold earned per battle. This wasn’t implemented with that update, so the gold earned is being increased with this update.
- After defeating a district, the player will immediately gain the gold earned. At the end of the Creep Surge, the bonus gold will be awarded based on the multiplier earned.
- For any Endless Creep Surges in progress before the update, we will be sending out the gold for the districts defeated, and the gold at the end will only be the bonus gold.
- Note that the gold at the end of Surge will now be less, but the total gold earned across Surge will be the same.
- The guild bonus will now be displayed as a percent, rather than a multiplier. The amount is the same, just in a better format.
- To help improve server stability, the intermission at the end of Endless Creep Surge is being extended to 15 minutes.
