[/p][p][/p][p]In this update, players can look forward to three all-new Artifacts and three remastered ones, each designed to support new playstyles, fresh combinations, and deeper progression paths. Here’s a closer look at what’s coming.[/p][h3]
New Artifacts[/h3][p]
Plagueherald Mask[/p][p]Once used by a mysterious plague doctor of Aeternum, the Plagueherald Mask turns disease into a deadly weapon. Ideal for aggressive support builds or disruptors, it punishes enemies with stacking on top of each other, while requiring careful timing and positioning.[/p]
- [p]Plaguespreader: Abilities and light attacks inflict a stack of 3% Disease (max 10 stacks). You also gain 1% Disease per stack applied. At 10 stacks, heavy attacks consume all stacks to trigger a 6s cloud around the target, inflicting 20% Disease and 10% Weaken to nearby enemies (12s cooldown).[/p]

- [p]Yeet: +300% push distance and +10% base damage to all War Hammer knockbacks. Clear Out ignites the first target hit, turning them into a projectile that deals 100% weapon damage to enemies they pass through.[/p]

- [p]Parallax: +12% base damage to targets farther than 10m (applies to both weapons).[/p]
- [p]Crescent Wave: While above 50% health, heavy attacks cast a projectile forward dealing 150% weapon damage. Melee heavy attack damage is reduced by 50%. Each wave costs 20 mana.[/p]

- [p]Ambush: Backstabs and headshots deal 20% increased crit damage and apply 10% Weaken for 5s. You also gain 10% Empower and 10% crit chance for 5s. (Target cannot be Ambushed again for 15s)[/p]

Artifact Tuning Update[/p][p]We’ve also made a minor but meaningful update to Trsna:[/p]
- [p]Consume now applies 25% life steal not just to knocked-down enemies, but also to stunned, rooted, and sluggish targets.[/p][p]This broadens its usability across various crowd-control-based builds.[/p]

Looking Ahead[/h3][p]Season 9 introduces a new rhythm for how we approach Artifacts: fewer releases per season, with a tighter focus on impact, creativity, and player utility. By adding a mix of new items that open up fresh builds and reworking underused Artifacts, we’re aiming to keep gear diversity high while making sure older favorites don’t fall behind. We hope these additions give you more flexibility in how you play. As always, we’re looking forward to hearing what you think. We'll see you in Aeternum.[/p]
