After waiting for so many days, the long-awaited new version of 4.1 will finally meet you tomorrow! Our mischievous Tucci got into big trouble, and his teammates rushed to the rescue. In this new version, let's walk fearlessly together!
Now that you've rescued Tucci, it's time to go back and check out the most important thing before the new version update: the 4.1 release update announcement! In addition to the various new content that has been revealed before, the new version also has balanced changes to many heroes and optimized the skill release of Jace and Alista, so check it out!
Unleash the power of alchemy technology - welcome to version 4.1!
Be careful lately, someone is "running amok" - Urgart is about to join the fray in this version! It should be noted that although he looks a bit like a crab, he is actually a slender, green-covered deadly weapon that can unleash powerful alchemical technology at any time.
But don't be afraid, there is a burning flame! She will help you resist the power of alchemy technology and clear all obstacles in your path. In this version, we'll also lift the level limit, and when you reach level 40, you'll unlock a more advanced level system: level up and get star rewards, which will be displayed in prominent places such as business cards. We can't wait to see everyone's star-studded business cards!
At the beginning of version 4.0, we made some tweaks to the Single Man Road Tank Hero and introduced several new pieces of equipment. In this release, we're going to keep up the extra mile to give these hunky guys more gear options, update the store by the way, and of course release regular balance changes!
These are just the prelude to version 4.1, and to learn more, check out our latest developer blog here.

New heroes
Dreadnought Chariot Urgat
Urgat was once a powerful executioner of Noxus, but the empire that made him an executioner eventually betrayed him. The chains bound him, but they also taught him the true meaning of power in a new place, the prison pit deep underground in Zuan.
Later, a disaster plunges Zuan into chaos, and Urgat takes the opportunity to break ground and wreak havoc in Zuan's underground criminal world. The chains that once enslaved him are now his tools to torture his prey, and he will baptize his new home with gunfire, purge those who don't deserve to live, and forge Zuan into a crucible of pain.
Tips: Urgart will be launched on March 16, Beijing time, with the version update.
New Canyon Treasure Book
In the face of a world where villains are rampant, there should also be heroes to come out and save... Or destroy it. In this Canyon Treasure Codex, Flame Wei will join the battle! Break through the canyon book to get the normal and upgraded versions of this skin!
The new issue of the Canyon Treasure Book will be launched on March 16, Beijing time, with the version update. At the same time, summoners need to pay attention that this issue of the Canyon Treasure Book is coming to an end! If there are still unclaimed rewards and unused star coupons, remember to collect and use them in time~
Unlimited levels
The account-level system will also see major changes. Reaching level 40 in the game is undoubtedly an important milestone. Over the past year, many summoners have achieved this achievement. Therefore, we want to introduce additional mechanisms so that people can reap more rewards and sense of accomplishment from their efforts.
Starting with this version, summoners who reach level 40 will unlock a more advanced level system: level up to earn star rewards, displayed in prominent locations such as business cards. As you level up, the number of stars will directly reflect your growth!
Hero enhancement
Star Song Ji Salefani
Salefani's W(2) skill, "Gathering and Heart", didn't shine as well as we expected. Therefore, we are ready to change its mechanism to make it an overlayable effect. Hopefully, this change will help Salefani sing to her heart's content.
W (2) Skills: Gathering and Voice
● The Tier 2 shield value after skill enhancement will no longer be reset, but can be stacked.
Future Guardian Jess
The armored warrior from Piltover always had a bunch of weapons at his disposal, but his heavy hammer limited his play. Therefore, we are ready to reduce its cooling time.
In addition, we will also adjust the operation method of Jess in this version. Whether you are a novice or a veteran, it is a little difficult to master the timing of Jace's "Power Shock" and "Acceleration Gate" combos. Therefore, for the sake of summoners who want to become future guardians, we intend to reduce the difficulty of casting.
Q (1) Skill: Power oscillation (remote)
● When the E(3) skill "Acceleration Gate" is not cooled down, double-clicking "Power Shock" will cause Jace to release the "Acceleration Gate" in front of him to enhance the shot.
R (4) Skill: Mercury's Cannon / Mercury's Hammer
● Cooldown: 6 seconds → 5 seconds
The Power of Demacia Galen
After we adjusted and updated the solo path, Galen seemed a little overwhelmed. To help this noble warrior, we are ready to improve his mobility and damage reduction. This gives Galen more room to maneuver and help him compete with his opponents online.
Q (1) Skill: Critical Strike
● Movement speed: 30% → 35%
W (2) Skill: Courage
● Previous second damage reduction: 60% → 70%
Butcher of the Desert Laketon
Laketon is always at a disadvantage against enemies with extra movement speed or movement skills. Therefore, we are ready to enhance some of his mobility and help him catch up with his opponents.
E (3) Skill: Rampage
● Cooldown: 17/16/15/14 seconds → 15/14/13/12 seconds
Runaway Lori Jinx
Compared to other two-player road shooters, Jinx has struggled a bit in the game lately. Therefore, we are ready to make some adjustments for her to bring her closer to her fellow heroes.
W (2) Skill: Oscillation Electromagnetic Wave!
● Pre-cast charge time: Decreases with skill level→ decreases with attack speed (becomes the shortest when the extra attack speed reaches 140%)
E (3) Skill: Fire-chewing grenade!
● Cooldown: 19/16/13/10 seconds → 16/14/12/10 seconds
● Restraint time: 1.3/1.45/1.6/1.75 sec. → 1.45/1.55/1.65/1.75 sec
Arrow of Punishment Verus
Although it has just been adjusted, Verus still lags behind his fellow heroes. We're going to give him some more boosts and hopefully help him unleash his explosive power.
W (2) Skill: Wilt Quiver
● Maximum health damage per layer of wilt effect: 3.5/4/4.5/5% → 4.5/5/5.5/6%
R (4) Skill: Corrupt chains
● Damage: 150/200/250 + 80% spell strength → 150/250/350 + 100% spell strength
Hero adjustments
Blood Harbor Ghost Pike
In this version, we're going to redo this bounty hunter a bit. We want him to be able to play both in the middle and in the field, so we are ready to increase his damage to wild monsters and adjust his ultimate skill mechanics.
Q (1) Skill: Bone piercing spikes
● 25% damage to minions and mobs → 100% damage to minions and 110% damage to mobs (including charge and instant damage)
E (3) Skill: Phantom Wave
● 25% damage to minions and mobs → 80% damage to minions and 110% damage to mobs
R (4) Skill: Fountain of Hate
● [NEW]: Pike gets a 110% defeat bounty for each individual defeat. If a teammate assists, the teammate with the last assist gets a 100% defeat bounty, and Pike gets a 110% defeat bounty (up to 550); For every enemy hero defeated by a teammate in the Swastika area, Pike receives a 110% defeat bounty (up to a maximum of 550).
Undead God of War Sain
Many of Theon's skills have control effects, so he can always charge for his team in team battles, but it is difficult to compete with similar heroes on a solo road. Therefore, we are prepared to weaken his control and instead strengthen his damage ability early in the game to help him deal with online duels in the early part of the match.
Q (1) Skill: Brutal Punch
● Maximum charge base damage: 65/155/245/335 → 80/165/250/335
● Dizziness duration: 1.25~2.25 seconds → 1~2 seconds
W (2) Skill: Soul Forge
● Base shield: 60/90/120/150 → 75/100/125/150
R (4) Skill: Rampage
● Dizziness duration: 0.75~1.75 seconds → 0.5~1.5 seconds
Kaiyin no Kaiyin
Everyone chose to eat the red pill, Rayast ruled the canyon, and the shadowstream assassins gradually disappeared. Therefore, we are ready to balance these two forms to increase the deterrent power of the Shadowstream Assassins.
Passive Skill: Darkspawn Scythe
● Darkspawn Avatar Healing Coefficient: 21~35% → 18~32%
● Shadowstream Assassin Bonus Magic Damage Factor: 32~46% → 38~52%
● Shadowstream Assassin Passive Adjustment: Reset cooldown when entering combat → Reset cooldown when taking hero damage
R (4) Skill: Rift Shadow
● Base Damage: 150/250/350 → 200/300/400
King of the Barbarians Taydamir
The Barbarian King hasn't been on a solo road for a while. We are ready to give him some reinforcement so that he does not get pinched by his opponent and fall into a disadvantage in early and late matches.
Base properties
● Attack speed growth: 2.2% → 1.2%
Passive Skill: Battle Fury
● Attack speed: 45/50/55/60% → 55/60/65/70%
W (2) Skill: Contempt
● Duration: 2.5 seconds → 3 seconds
● Attack power reduction: 25/30/35/40% → 35%
● Movement speed reduction: 20/30/40/50% → 15/20/25/30%
Holy Gun Ranger Lucian
We've recently increased the speed growth of other shooters and want to do the same for Lucian's "Penetrating Light"!
Q (1) Skill: Penetrating Holy Light
● Charge time before casting: decreases with hero level, → decreases with attack speed increase (becomes the shortest when the extra attack speed reaches 140%)
Zuan Fury Beast Warwick
Recently, Warwick has always been in ambush in the wild waiting for his prey to throw himself into the net, but rarely takes the initiative to hunt. Therefore, we are ready to sharpen his sharp teeth so that he can face the enemy in the field.
Q (1) Skill: Mouth of the Beast
● [NEW]: Deals 50% extra damage to minions. When defeating minions, 50% cooldown is returned.
● Mana cost: 50/60/70/80 → 40/45/50/55
● Max damage to mobs: 125/150/175/200 → 100/125/150/175
W (2) Skill: Blood Hunt
● Movement speed: 45/50/55/60% → 40/45/50/55%
● Attack speed: 70/80/90/100% → 60/70/80/90%
E (3) Skill: Distant ancestor growls
● [Redo] When casting the second time, the damage reduction effect will not end early.
Bullhead Chief Alista
For summoners who want to use tanks as auxiliaries, Alista has always been a great choice. We want to guide everyone to use the "Savage Collision" and "Earth Smash" combos to give opponents a taste of the power of this pair of bull horns.
W (2) Skill: Brutal Charge
● When Earth Crush is not cooling, double-clicking Wild Rush causes Alista to cast Earth Crush when hitting the target, shocking the ground.
Son of the Stars Solaka
The banana queen has recently been proud in some matches, but still struggles at a high level of matches. To help Soraka and the others compete, we're going to improve her healing abilities a bit.
Q (1) Skill: Meteor Fall
● Total healing amount for "Vitality": 60/80/100/120 + 35% spell strength → 60/90/120/150 + 45% spell strength
W (2) Skill: Star Infusion
● Healing Amount: 90/130/170/210 + 70% Spell Strength → 70/110/150/190 + 70% Spell Strength
New equipment
Midday cloak
Sometimes, generosity for the sake of the team is the responsibility of a tanker. However, we believe that until tanks are generous, there is still room for them to have some means of escape, giving tanks a chance to break the trap of low health.
The Afternoon Cloak is a piece of equipment that provides explosive healing, movement speed, and slowdown resistance, helping tank heroes escape or pursue Jedi in times of crisis.
Composition path:
● Chain mail (900 gold) + negative cloak (900 gold) + 1100 gold
○ Total cost: 2900 gold
Attribute:
● Armor: 50
● Magic resistance: 50
Passive:
● Savior Blade: Regenerates 200 + 50% extra health in 3 seconds when taking damage that reduces maximum health to less than 35%, and gains 50% Slowdown Resistance and 30 Movement Speed for 3 seconds. (90 seconds cooldown)
The twin guardianship of the immortal flower
Currently, the in-game equipment options aren't enough for tanks that can take the lead in a match. Mages can choose equipment like the Destroyer's Hat, the Void Staff, and the Archer can also purchase the Infinity Blade or a tribute from the Dominic Lord.
The Eternal Flower's Twin Guardian will become the top equipment for the tank (similar to the Mage's Destroyer's Hat), and the longer you hold out in battle, the more benefits the Guardian effect provides.
Composition path:
● Chain mail (900 gold) + negative cloak (900 gold) + 1400 gold
○ Total cost: 3200 gold
Attribute:
● Armor: 55
● Magic resistance: 55
Passive:
● Guardian: When fighting enemy heroes, you will get 1 layer of guardianship effect per second, and up to 5 layers will be stacked. At full deck, gain an increase in stature, 20% toughness, and a 30% increase in armor and 30% magic resistance until you leave the battle.
Scorching spark
If you love tank heroes, you also have a dream of clearing the field quickly? Then, "Scorching Spark" is the perfect choice for you! It can increase the hero's Qingye speed and damage-bearing ability, and can also be combined with the "Sun Flame Holy Shield" or "Blazing Crown" to greatly improve the flexibility of the outfit.
Composition path:
● Total cost: 500 gold
Attribute:
● Health: 50
Passive:
● Sacrifice: Deals 5-10 magic damage per second to nearby enemies
Crown of Blazing Light
As mentioned earlier, we will be launching Riyan's sister equipment, the Blazing Crown, in this version! If you want to burn your opponents to the ground and focus on dealing damage to other heroes, the Blazing Crown is the way to go!
Composition path:
● Bambi's slag (1300 gold) + chain mail (900 gold) + 500 gold
○ Total cost: 2700 gold
Attribute:
● Health: 300
● Armor: 50
Passive:
● Blazing Touch: Burns a target when a general attack or skill deals damage for 3 seconds, dealing 1.6% of the target's maximum health per second (damage reduced to 0.8% when used by ranged heroes). Deals 150% damage to minions and mobs, and up to 125 damage to mobs.
Equipment adjustments
Bambi's slag
We're going to add fire to the gear store, and Bambi's slag will naturally become even hotter. We will raise its damage while raising its price.
Composition path:
● Scorching Spark (500 Gold) + Red Crystal (500 Gold) + 300 Gold
○ Total cost: 1300 gold
Price:
● 1100 gold → 1300 gold
Passive:
● Deal magic damage per second: 5 - 10 → 10 - 20
Sun Flame Holy Shield
At present, for tanks that want to take the initiative and restrain their opponents, the Riyan Holy Shield is basically the only option. However, it is also the only piece of equipment that can provide the tank with effective clearance and clearance capabilities, which results in the Riyan cloak having two different positions at the same time.
In this way, it may not be outstanding enough in both aspects. Therefore, we are ready to launch its sister gear in this version! If you still choose to take the developmental route, Riyan will become your proud assistant, even stronger than before.
Composition path:
● Bambi's slag (1300 gold) + Burning gemstone (1000 gold) + 700 gold
○ Total cost: 3000 gold
Price:
● Total gold remains the same
Passive:
● 8% increase in effect per layer, sacrificial damage → 7%
● Effect when stacked up to 6 layers: General attack deals sacrificial damage → General attack deals 50% sacrificial damage
● Damage coefficient to wild monsters: 115% → 130%
● Damage coefficient to minions: 115% → 175 - 250%
Stinger vest
The buff provided by the spike vest is a bit too high. We will reduce its role in the early and late stages of the game to make it more in line with the positioning of intermediate equipment, and encourage it to be upgraded to Thorn Armor as soon as possible.
Passive:
● Passive Thorn Damage: 3 + 8% Extra Armor → 4 + 6% Extra Armor
Armor of Thorns
As a piece of equipment that sells the effect of serious injury, the price of the Thorn Armor is really expensive. We lowered its price and expanded its range of anti-injury. In this way, the tanks can safely choose it to seriously damage the enemy, without having to hesitate for other factors.
Price:
● Total cost: 2900 gold → 2700 gold
Attribute:
● 200 health → 100 health
Passive:
● Passive Thorn Damage: 25 + 10% Extra Armor → 20 + 1% Extra Health + 6% Extra Armor
The force of nature
In this release, we've slightly tweaked the effects of Force of Nature to enhance the tank's ability to take and absorb damage during long team battles.
Passive:
● [Remove] Current damage absorbs passive effects.
● [New] Passive: Stack 1 layer of firmness for yourself after receiving magic damage from enemy heroes for 7 seconds, up to 6 layers; Receiving damage from enemy heroes refreshes the duration of the effect, increases movement speed by 10% at full level, and reduces all magic damage received by 25%.
Abyss mask
We've removed the Abyss Mask's original magic damage to increase the passive effect, and added a new passive effect: save some of the magic damage received as a charge, and when you target a target, release it to charge it to cause an explosion. Rumble!
Passive:
● [Remove] Damage passive
● [New] Passive: When taking magic damage, get 20% of the damage taken as a remaining charge for 5 seconds. When you target an enemy hero, the expendable charge causes a small explosion around the first target, dealing magic damage equal to the remaining charge.
Relic Shield / Giant God Peak Round Shield
We're going to make a series of adjustments to the Relic Shield to help you with it. We know that sometimes it is difficult to execute minions online; It's even more difficult if there's always an enemy shooter to consume you. We are therefore prepared to adjust the threshold for executions. In addition, we will make some improvements to other aspects of this equipment.
Passive:
● Melee / ranged minions execution threshold: 50%/30% → 75%/75%
● [Remove] 120% gold for yourself and 100% gold for the nearest friendly hero when killing minions.
● [New] When killing minions, the nearest friendly hero is provided with defeat gold, and you get 50% defeat gold and 75 extra gold (included in the mission calculation).
● [New] When a charge is completed or a teammate is nearby, if the minions' health reaches the execution threshold, their health bar will turn yellow as a reminder.
● Charging cooldown: 20 seconds → 30 seconds
Ghost Scythe/Ghost Crescent
Once the game enters the middle of the game, the passive of the Ghost Scythe becomes very difficult to use. Therefore, we optimized the experience so that it still brings good revenue after the upfront ends.
Passive:
● Charging cooldown: 10 seconds → 15 seconds
● Gold: 25 gold → 40 gold
System tuning
Summon Crystal Respawn mechanic adjustments
We've slightly tweaked the respawn mechanic for summoning crystals and the visual effect of the countdown. Summoning Crystals will no longer respawn 19 minutes after the start of the match.
Wild monster generation mechanism adjustment
We found that there is a certain gap in the time it takes for different wild monsters to become attackable, and the maximum can reach 2 seconds. If you choose a wild monster that appears slower, you may lose the advantage of wild development that you achieved in the early stage. Therefore, we are ready to adjust the mechanics of wild monster generation.
● Shorten the time lag between the first appearance of different wild monsters and their entry into the attackable state.
