NEW HERO: LORELAI

Lorelai is a backline support who excels at zone control and team utility. Change the tides of battle with single-target cleanses and shields.

Lorelai is unlockable with ICE only for the first seven days. Afterward, you will be able to unlock her with ICE or Glory.

HERO ABILITIES

THAT’S SWELL (HEROIC PERK)

Lorelai’s basic attacks deal crystal damage and she becomes empowered when she’s on a source of water from her abilities. Using an ability while Lorelai’s on a source of water consumes the water she’s on and empowers the ability used.

FISH FOOD (A)

Lorelai calls upon her aquatic friends at the target location. After 0.8 seconds, her pet clam snaps the area, dealing damage to enemy units inside and stunning them.

A pool filled with small piranhas persists for 8 seconds afterwards, dealing damage over time to enemy units inside

SPLASHDOWN (B)

Lorelai throws a sphere of water at target location. After a short delay, the water forms a pool for 8 seconds, speeding up allies and slowing enemies inside.

WATERWALL (ULTIMATE)

Lorelai forms a protective veil of water on target allied hero cleansing the target of any movement-impairing effects.

After a short delay, the water barrier drops on the ground, leaving behind a pool for 8 seconds.

Temporarily grants the target a large barrier.

HERO TALENTS

SPLASH DOUBLEDOWN (RARE)

Splashdown has two charges, reduced charge time and energy costs.

CLAM UP (EPIC)

Fish Food has an increased stun duration.

WONDER WALL (LEGENDARY)

Lorelai’s Ultimate now grants the targeted allied hero invulnerability instead of barrier and has a reduced cooldown

5v5 EARLY ACCESS:

PRE-REGISTER NOW!

When we started Super Evil Megacorp, we set out to challenge the notion that mobile-first gamers were somehow inferior to gamers on other platforms. We believed that every phone was a portable next-gen console, and that every mobile player deserved games just as core, strategic and performant as players on PC.

Our mission now is creating a 5v5 MOBA with the most accurate and responsive controls, with superior gameplay and strategic depth and with the best graphics and highest frame rates on mobile. Vainglory 5v5 will make no compromises, and we want you to have a chance to play before anyone else.

Pre-register for Vainglory 5v5 now for a chance at early access and exclusive rewards like unlocking the “Founding 5v5” player badge.

GLOBAL UNVEILING OF VAINGLORY 5V5

If you want to see Vainglory 5v5 played competitively for the very first time, tune in Dec. 17 to Finals Day of the 2017 Vainglory World Championship in Singapore. Worlds will feature a special segment with two 5v5 exhibition matches, and we’ll unveil live on air many of the gameplay and map details you’re searching for. Watch the broadcast live on Vainglory’s twitch, YouTube and Facebook Live pages, and we’ll also feature VODs in-game after the event ends.



In the interim, be sure to check the in-game News section and Vainglory official social media channels regularly for new reveals and tidbits of information!

MINION CHANGES:

MORE DAMAGE TO TURRETS “With the increased amount of health on heroes, the game length of matches has increased a little. To restore order, we have increased minion damage to turrets, allowing for stronger pushes.” —Nivmett Lead minion damage to turret increased from 72 to 100

Ranged minion damage to turrets increased from 72 to 100

Tank minion damage to turrets increased from 24 to 50

HERO BALANCE

ALPHA

“Alpha has been a reliable pick in recent updates and while we are happy she is finally seeing competitive play again, we feel she can use a slight update. This will give the enemy team more time to fight Alpha while her reboot is down. This change to the ult coupled with the aftershock nerf should bring her more into line with the others while still maintaining her identity.” —Nivmett

TERMINATION PROTOCOL

Cooldown increased from 75/65/55 to 85/75/65

ARDAN

“Ardan has been a very strong and reliable pick this update, largely because his perk has taken advantage of the health changes more than most.” —Nivmett

JULIA’S GIFT

Missing-life healed reduced from 1.5% to 0.8%

BARON

“Baron’s move speed has been unnaturally slow. This tuneup will bring him in line with Phinn (not exactly a speed demon). Changes to Jump Jets and Porcupine Mortars may open the doors for more CP Baron in the future.” —Nivmett

STATS

Move speed increased from 2.6 to 2.8

PORCUPINE MORTARS

Cooldown reduced from 5 seconds at all levels to 5/4.5/4/3.5/2.5

Cooldown increased from 8/7.5/7/6.5/6 to 10/9.5/9/8.5/8

ON POINT

Barrier strength reduced from 125/165/205/245/325 to 120/150/180/210/270

MERCILESS PURSUIT

Energy cost reduced from 50/60/70/80/100 to 30/40/50/60/70

CELESTE

“Like Catherine, Celeste was running out of energy before the fight was over. This change should keep her in the battle longer.”

—Nivmett

HELIOGENESIS

Energy cost reduced from 50 to 40

FLICKER

“While Flicker is closer to where we want him than ever before, the mad scientist may need a few more bumps to get him there.”

—Nivmett

MOONCLOAK

Stealth duration increased from 8/9/10 to 8/10/12

to Energy cost decreased from 40/50/60/70/80 to 20/25/30/35/40

to Stack charge time decreased from 5 to 3 seconds

GRUMPY

to Crystal ratio per stack increased from 10% to 20%

IDRIS

SHROUDSTEP

Cooldown decreased from 15/14/13/12/10 to 13/12/11/10/8

SHIMMER STRIKE

Now cleanses move-impairing effects on activation

Removes Churnwalker’s chain upon use.

KESTREL

“Weapon Kestrel has been a dominant force. This change will stop her from 3-4 shotting a carry while still maintaining her power against tankier targets. We’re also increasing the cooldown of her Active Camo.” —Nivmett

Impact damage decreased from 100/105/110/115/130% to 100/100/100/100/100%

STATS

Armor and Shield reduced from 20-60 to 20-50

to Weapon power reduced from 50-127 to 50-116

SAMUEL

“Samuel was running out of energy before the fights could conclude more often than not. This will help fix that.”

—Nivmett



MALICE AND VERDICT

Energy cost decreased from 50/55/60/65/70 to 40/45/50/55/60

SKYE

“Slight tuneup for Skye increasing her early-game power, especially while the energy cost reduction will help her maintain her signature playstyle” —Nivmett

“Everyone’s favorite dragon is a bit healthier.” —Nivmett

STATS

Health increased from 638-1992 to 638-2112

PETAL

“Petal has been strong for quite some time — and while it’s great to see her picked frequently in competitive play, her damage combined with range and mobility were too much. This tunedown will bring her in line with the other weapon carries.” —Nivmett

TRAMPOLINE

Weapon amp reduced from 20% to 15%

to Crystal amp reduced from 20% to 15%

REIM

“These changes will help push Reim toward his intended playstyle as a sustain crystal bruiser rather than some sort of crystal sustain, burst bruiser. In short, he will deal significantly less damage but generate more fortified health. In addition, the range change to Winter Spire will allow him to fight ranged heroes a bit easier in the early game.” —Nivmett

FROST GUARD

Crystal ratio on basic-attack reduced from 90% to 70%

to Damage to fortified health increased from 18% to 25%

WINTER SPIRE

TWIRLING SILVER

Energy cost decreased from 50/55/60/65/70 to 30/35/40/45/50

GWEN

“A bit of extra bang for Gwen not only for her crystal path but to her cooldowns as well.” —Nivmett

to Cooldown decreased from 12/11/10/9/6 to 10/9/8/7/5

ITEMS BALANCE

Armor increased from 70 to 80

AFTERSHOCK

“Aftershock was a bit too strong.” —Nivmett

Damage reduced from 15% to 14% max health

Damage required per stack increased from 140 to 160

Energy Regen increased from 7.5 to 10

to Energy increased from 250 to 600

CRUCIBLE

“Crucible was decreasing in health when you combined its recipe. This will address that issue.” —Nivmett

Duration increased from 1 to 1.5

to Health increased from 650 to 700

DRAGONHEART

“Dragonheart was a bit too efficient.” —Nivmett

Health decreased from 500 to 450

ECHO

“Echo has been a rockstar in the last few updates, and while we love the big plays that result with the double ults, we would like to see a little less of that while still giving you the option to echo non-ultimate abilities.” —Nivmett

Base cooldown decreased from 15 to 10

to Echo multiplier cooldown increased from 115% to 150%

to Energy regen increased from 4 to 6

to Energy increased from 300 to 350

EVE OF HARVEST

“See above.” —Nivmett

Energy regen increased from 5 to 7

to Energy increased from 250 to 400

FROSTBURN

“Despite the Frostburn changes making the item very powerful, the decreased crystal and increased price made it a disadvantageous purchase. By bringing it to a lower price point, it is now attractive not only as a solid pickup but also serves crystal heroes as a kite-for-survival tool if they pick it up early enough.” —Nivmett

Price decreased from 2800 to 2600

to Sell price decreased from 1400 to 1300

HALCYON CHARGERS

“More love for energy.” —Nivmett

Energy Regen increased from 4.0 to 6 Energy increased from 250 to 400

Sell price increased from 50 to 125



PIERCING SHARD

“This will allow for a more efficient early counter item for crystal carries.” —Nivmett

Shield pierce increased from 12% to 18%



REFLEX BLOCK

“With the increased amount of crowd control, it’s only fair we increased the amount of time Reflex Block protected you.” —Nivmett

Duration increased from 1 to 1.5



TORNADO TRIGGER

“Tornado Trigger was proving to be a bit too efficient for its cost. This change will tune down the damage of double Tornado Trigger.” —Nivmett

Bonus Crit damage reduced from 20% to 15%



SPELLFIRE

“While we know the direction we want Spellfire to go, the item didn’t become efficient enough until you have a substantial amount of crystal power. This change will allow it to be an earlier buy.”

—Nivmett

Passive burn damage changed from 100% of crystal power over 4 seconds to 15-50 (level 1-12) + 100% of crystal power over 4 seconds.



VOID BATTERY

“Same story: Slight tuneup to the energy items in the game, so that buying an energy item feels more impactful.”

—Nivmett
