Every major version update of Glory of Kings involves a large number of heroes' balance adjustments, and S26 is no exception! This week, with the launch of the "Son of Jade City" version, the official will adjust and optimize the sixteen heroes (including feel upgrades, attribute damage adjustments, etc.), of which the semi-redo for Athena will become the adjustment direction of the future canyon!
In order to allow the super-cold warrior - Athena to return to the canyon, the official mainly redoed the passive and optimized the big move, after the passive upgrade, the resurrected Athena has a similar cheap big move of the fly control, while the big move adds the "shield counter" mechanism, the more hits are received during the opening period, the higher the damage and the shorter the casting time. In addition, the difficulty of 1 skill hit is reduced, making the release of the modified Athena combos easier, using the solution of experience pain points, coupled with the free access to the new Epic Year skin, the appearance rate of Athena in the S26 season is expected to be greatly improved!
Taking Athena adjustment as the template, the adjustment method of the future hero is changed to "hero quality upgrade", that is, the official tuning of the hero's gameplay, animation, modeling and sound effects on the basis of retaining the core gameplay, which is simply understood to be a semi-redo upgrade. At present, there are many heroes in the canyon who need to upgrade their quality, such as Agudo, Pangu and Liu Bei, who are also unpopular.
In addition to the regular adjustments, there are also some heroes in the S26 season who are indirectly strengthened/weakened by the version function optimization!
The new skill cancellation protection buffer time is an epic optimization for heroes who often use long-distance displacement, such as Lü Bu, Na Ke Lulu and Zhao Yun's big move, the three of which are easy to mistakenly touch the skill cancellation to cause the situation of the in-situ penalty station in order to avoid this problem, or move the skill cancellation button to a farther area, although the adjustment can solve the problem, but affect the operating habits of other heroes. In order to solve the pain point problem, the official introduction of the skill cancellation protection buffer time (up to 0.2 seconds), the simple understanding is that the skill touches the cancel button will not be cancelled immediately, but it will be triggered after a period of time to avoid the player's problem of empty space.
Also in order to avoid the emptiness, the S26 season Bai Qi, Lü Bu, Sima Yi, Lian Po and Nuwa five heroes of the big move default locking method changed to only lock the hero, how to understand the adjustment? In fact, it is very simple, that is, in the case of not dragging the skill indicator, just simply clicking on the big move, the big move of these five heroes will automatically lock the target hero to release, if there is no hero around, click the big move will not be released, so that after entering the group, you can avoid hitting the enemy creeps, simplify the operation, and improve the hit rate of the big move.
In the same way, Zhang Fei's 2 skill locking method is changed to lock his teammates, as long as the teammates do not need to drag the direction to click the 2 skills around them, they can automatically lock the position of their teammates, jump to their side and add shields, avoiding the embarrassment of the empty two and improving the ability to protect people.
Conclusion: In the future, the adjustment method of The King's Canyon will be changed to "hero quality upgrade", and at the same time, Zhao Yun, Bai Qi, Zhang Fei and other heroes will be indirectly strengthened because of the optimization of the operation experience, so how do you think this wave of function optimization is?
