[Dev Notes ]
With Deathmatch being added as a main mode, balance adjustment and skill changes were implemented for all heroes. We believe these changes will bring out the most unique traits of each hero.
To induce the fun in gameplay, Heroes were revamped and have returned to the Arena with more powerful specs.
In addition, we hope that this balance change of Heroes can function as a strategical method in winning over battles in Deathmatch.
