Lore

An accidental stowaway from the world of dreams, Rem has found himself stranded in the city that never sleeps. Driven by his curious nature, Rem and his helpful friends have been seen wandering across the five boroughs in search of a way back home.

So if you ever find yourself dozing off while taking the Blue line home from work, maybe you've just had an encounter with one of the Cursed Apple's newest denizens.


Balance Changes

Graves (hero_necro)

Bullet Damage Scaling Nerf

Stat Before After Change
Bullet Damage per Boon 0.10 0.06 -40%
Spirit Scaling (BulletDmg) 0.03 0 Removed

Graves' gun scaling has been significantly nerfed. Previously gained 0.1 bullet damage per boon plus 0.03 per spirit power. Now only gains 0.06 per boon with no spirit scaling on bullet damage.

Impact: Gun builds on Graves are weaker. This pushes him further toward ability-focused playstyles.

Silver (hero_werewolf) - Unreleased

Bullet Damage Scaling Nerf

Stat Before After Change
Bullet Damage per Boon 0.1872 0.168 -10.3%

Minor nerf to Silver's gun scaling. Silver is not yet released.


UI/Text Changes

  • Hero Priority Token description updated with better formatting
  • "Cancel" button renamed to "Remove" for priority tokens
  • New localization strings added for Rem's abilities and effects
  • Opera hero tags removed (Citadel_Opera_HeroTag_1/2/3)

Summary

This patch primarily introduces Rem as the newest hero - a spirit support with extremely low HP (650 base) who attaches to allies to enable them with healing, buffs, and CC. The patch also includes a targeted nerf to Graves' gun scaling.

Key Takeaways

  1. Rem is a pure support - Worst gun in the game, build full spirit
  2. Tag Along T3 is massive - +15% tech power and +35 spirit to carry after hop off
  3. Naptime has 175s CD - Consider Refresher for double ult
  4. Graves gun builds nerfed - Spirit scaling on bullet damage removed entirely, boon scaling -40%
  5. Silver (unreleased) tweaked - Minor gun scaling adjustment
