The Wildfire Gang-Ike skin, which was originally scheduled to appear in version 12.1, was suddenly removed before the official service was launched. In the recent 12.4 update test of the US test suit, the Wildfire Help Ike skin has been added to the test suit, and the skin effects have also been updated.
According to the designers, if your hearing is good enough, you should be able to hear some familiar sound effects. For example, Ike's skateboard, passive firelight, and big move pocket watch.
When Ike moves in The Home Guard state, a skateboard appears under his feet.
I'm sure players who have watched "Battle of Two Cities" are familiar with these sounds and graphics, and you will also find something when Wildfire helps Ike use R skills - when the mysterious mage used Hex magic to teleport Jace and his mother, it was very similar to the current special effects.
In the 12.4 version of the AMERICAN suit, a new hero was added: Renata. I have also shared with players the introduction of Renata's skills before, and she has a unique resurrection mechanism and a counter-attack mechanism. Both of these mechanics are hot topics for players, and designers have recently responded to hot discussions among players.
For example, Renata's W skill can temporarily resurrect teammates, and its health will continue to decay to 0 for 3 seconds. If during this time, friendly forces participate in killing, then friendly forces will stop decaying (that is, complete resurrection).
Similar to the Alchemical Dragon Soul, both are briefly resurrected after death. But the difference is that Renata's W skill gives her teammates hope of a real resurrection. And the designer also explained:
W skills can occur in three situations:
1: Very successful - friendly forces kill an enemy and survive.
2: Success - The friendly forces did something that turned the situation around, but eventually died.
3: Defeat - The friendly forces did nothing and died again.
Designer: Will continue to pay attention to the strength of the new hero. Very successful cases, generally speaking, are very rare. It is estimated that there will be two or three very successful moments in a game. If there are more times when there are more successful occurrences, we will take steps to reduce the probability of it appearing, trying to adjust to a situation where there is less than one very successful occurrence in a game.
