Dota Underlords Receives Changes to a Couple of Alliances and Bug Fixes.

Valve has rolled out a long-awaited update for the chess-like game Dota Underlords, addressing minor bugs and improving game balance. A slew of issues had previously marred the gameplay, leading to discontent among many project enthusiasts. However, everything now seems to be running smoothly.

So, what exactly got fixed?

Items

• Standard and duo modes have seen a fix in higher-tier items—now they appear much earlier in the game compared to the last patch. For more in-game details, you can check the “Rules” section.
• The “Tyrant’s Cape” item has been reworked: previously, allied characters couldn’t die from damage while the owner was still alive. Now, this “immortality” has been changed to invulnerability for 4 seconds after receiving fatal damage.
• “Stonehall Pike”: damage from kills has been reduced from 4 units to 3, and from 4 to 12 in “Brawlers”.
• “Talisman of Evasion”: the chance to dodge an attack has been increased from 20% to 25%.
• “Black King Bar”: the item’s duration has been extended from 5 to 10 seconds—during this time, the unit will be immune to magic.

Alliances

• Damage of Savages has been increased from 4, 7, 15 to 5, 10, and 20 respectively.
• For the Insect alliance, players now need 2/4 heroes, instead of 3 as it was before.
• The number of spiders produced has been reduced from 12 to 6, and 12 at the next level.
• Spiders now have a 20% or 35% chance to miss their attack.

Lords

• The “Healing Ritual” ability of the character Anessix has received an increase in regeneration when used:
• Before: Instant heal: [60, 75, 90, 120, 135, 240, 270, 300], Health regen over 6 seconds: [10, 12, 15, 20, 22, 40, 45, 50]
• Now: Instant heal: [70, 85, 105, 140, 155, 275, 310, 345], Health regen over 6 seconds: [12, 14, 17, 25, 30, 45, 50, 60]
• The “Main Threat” ability of the character Anessix has changed its mechanics: now the damage will be dealt to the nearest enemy.
• The “Exploding Bats” ability of the character Hobgen has been refined—previously, there was a bug where it didn’t deal damage.

Achievements

• The familiar achievement “Win in a certain number of rounds” has been replaced with a new task—now the user must “Collect a certain number of items”.
