Gameplay Changes<\/h3>\n

Basic Attack<\/h4>\n

Champions have been given the all-clear to start utilizing a new type of attack in arena battles: Basic Attack. In addition to the normal 4 normal abilities and 1 super ability, each champion now has a basic attack. Each champion’s basic attack is unique to them and has a much lower cooldown than any other ability, allowing you to get some supplemental damage in no matter how you build your loadout! See below for each champion’s basic attack ability details.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the loadout UI during matches has been altered to allow for basic attack without adding clutter and maintain ease of ability use, check it out below.<\/p>\n

\n
• Jab (Hugo)<\/strong> – Punch foes in front you dealing 7 damage.<\/li>\n
• Intoxicating Bolt (Bud)<\/strong> – Launch a bolt that deals 2 damage and inflicts toxin, a stacking debuff inflicting 5 damage over 10 seconds per stack.<\/li>\n
• Quick shot (Nika)<\/strong> – Quickly fire off a projectile dealing 6 damage.<\/li>\n
• Swipe (Umbra)<\/strong>– Quickly attack dealing 5 damage, if you strike from behind, deal 4 bonus damage.<\/li>\n

  Cast Bar<\/h4>\n

  We’ve added a cast bar that displays the ability icon and depleting bar for the duration of the skill.<\/p>\n

  Status bar<\/strong><\/h4>\n
