V1.6 Patch Notes
Hotfixes:
June 17th:
We’ve made changes to Predecessor Nitro to prevent matches from stalling and running longer than intended. The goal is to help games conclude earlier - before they reach a standstill - without disrupting the intended pacing.
Here’s how:
Faster Map Progression: Teams will now progress across the map more quickly, bringing it more in line with gold and XP income.
Stronger Win Conditions: When games begin to stall, one team will be better equipped with tools to close out the match decisively.
Changelog:
Death timers
We want to keep Nitro fast-paced, but also ensure teams have a window to capitalize on key advantages. To strike that balance, we’re slightly increasing mid-game death timers:
◆Previous: Level 13/14/15 → 30s / 32s / 34s
◆Now: Level 13/14/15 → 31s / 34s / 35s
This should give just enough breathing room for momentum without slowing the game down too much.
Tower plating
We're adjusting Tower Plating to make it easier to punish early roams or lane dominance by rewarding aggressive plays. The goal is to bring down Outer Towers a bit earlier in the match.
Changes:
◆Plating resistance duration after plate destroyed:
◆Reduced from 10s → 9sArmor & MR bonus after taking a plate (based on number of attackers):
◆1 Hero: 400 → 100
◆2 Heroes; 400 → 200
◆3 Heroes: 400 → 300
◆Plating shuts off:
◆Now at 8 minutes (was 9)
Inner Towers
Inner Towers should offer a solid line of defense, but they’ve been lasting a bit too long into matches. We’re adjusting their durability to make them easier to take down. With earlier pressure on Outer Towers and plating changes, Inner Towers should now come under threat at a more appropriate stage of the game.
◆Inner Tower health was reduced from 3500 to 3200.
Inhibitors
We don’t want a destroyed inhibitor to feel like an instant loss, but it should still create meaningful pressure. The goal is to encourage the team that secured the inhibitor to press their advantage, without making it feel impossible for the other side to recover.
◆Increased Inhibitor respawn time from 180 to 240
Objectives
We're adjusting objective timing to improve game flow and strategic opportunities. Objectives will now become available earlier to reduce downtime, especially in the late game. Orb Prime's initial spawn is being delayed by one minute to allow more time for teams to contest a second Mini Orb Prime. Additionally, the power of the Orb Prime buff is being increased to help the team that secures it push for victory more effectively.
◆Objectives respawn time down 30s
◆Fangtooth & Primal Fangtooth was 240 now 210
◆Mini Prime & Orb Prime was 240 now 210
◆Orb Prime spawn time was 13 minutes now 14 minutes
◆Orb Prime Buff that grants bonus Physical Power and Magical Power has been increased based off game time
◆Bonus Physical Power was 17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35 now 28,31,34,37,40,43,46,49,52,55
◆Bonus Magical Power was 24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56,60 now 45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90
Items
We want Hunt to be more available so Junglers feel more empowered to make plays on big objectives.
◆Hunt cooldown timer reduced from 80s to 60s

NEW: Yurei – the Last Koru Shinzo
The first Hero to usher in this new era of Predecessor is a formidable demon slayer, mastering both blades and soul-binding magic, an ancient art known to only a few. Her intense physical training has honed her incredible mobility, allowing her to strike with precision and power before enemies even realize what hit them.
She’s swift, deadly, and unlike anything we’ve seen before.

The spirit has 10% of their Maximum Health and 100% of the Physical Armor and Magical Armor. Any damage dealt to the Spirit will be dealt as true damage to the Target it was torn from.

NEW: Ashes of the Damned Battle Pass
The brand new Ashes of the Damned Battle Pass arrives with the launch of V1.6 and runs until August 26th!
This Battle Pass is brimming with cursed, demonic, and otherworldly rewards. As with previous passes, you’ll find both Free and Premium tracks, each packed with enticing content.
Expect plenty of the usual with a twisted flair: Amber, Opals, profile icons, banners, sprays, and more. This time, we’re going even bigger:
The full Battle Pass experience offers 4 unique skins for 4 different Heroes
A fiery new recall effect to return to base in style!
Our team have worked tirelessly to build upon our last Battle Passes with exciting new content to ensure you receive the best possible experience, with exclusive and incredible rewards like multiple shiny new skins, Opal drops and a recall effect to name just a few.
With all the new goodies packed into the new Battle Pass we’ve made the decision to increase the price of the Battle Pass to 1300 Platinum. We believe this is a fair reflection of the value it offers and the amount of content you’ll be unlocking throughout the season.
And as a thanks for your ongoing support, we placed Gideon's new Infernal Skin on the free track so that everyone can unlock it!
Let the demonic grind begin!

NEW: Predecessor Labs & NITRO
Experimental New Game Modes
In case you missed this week's big announcement. Predecessor Labs hits the game in 1.6 and is our new hub for experimental game modes.
These modes will rotate periodically, keeping things fresh and allowing us to road-test new ideas with you before committing to the significant work required for more permanent modes or changes to the main game.
Learn more about Predecessor labs here.
Labs Game Mode #1: Predecessor NITRO
Experience the full thrill of Predecessor—now supercharged, streamlined, and packed into intense 20-minute (on average) matches!
Looking to squeeze in a quick game before heading out? Are the kids asleep but might wake up soon? NITRO is designed for moments when you don’t have time for a full game of Predecessor, but still want all the strategy, mechanics, and fun.
NITRO is the Predecessor you know and love, but faster. Spawn times, XP gains, and death timers have all been fine-tuned for rapid action. If you come from a more action-heavy gaming background, this mode might be your new favourite.
It's also a great opportunity to test out new Heroes, kits and builds in low stakes, rapid turnaround matches. Fit more sessions into less time, deepen your skillset and show everyone what you can really do!
BRAWL
Predecessor Labs is taking over from BRAWL, meaning we're benching the mode for a short time while we cycle in more experimental game modes.
As we mentioned here, Brawl is currently being played only by a small minority of players and even then we've found that it's because these players want a faster, lower-commitment experience compared to Standard - not because it’s compelling on its own. It's also not a great pathway into Standard or Ranked for new players, with many new BRAWL players opting to just stick with it, rather than dipping their toes in with our more mainline game format.
We're sad to see it go, but we're excited to use the learnings it gave us to develop more exciting and experimental concepts that we think you'll love just as much if not more. And we also might bring BRAWL back one day too, changed and improved based on new learnings and player feedback.
Thank you for your ongoing support and feedback as we iterate and grow this part of the Predecessor experience. We cannot wait for you to join us on this new journey of development!
Map Adjustments
Not all map changes in V1.6 are demonic - some are just practical.In update 0.18, we introduced map changes to allow players to traverse more walls, but we found that many of these changes weren’t immediately clear and were underused. With this update, we’ve done another pass: lowering additional walls and making traversal points more visually obvious to encourage players to take advantage of them.
Ranked Party Size Changes
As some of you may have heard, we've been working behind the scenes to expand Ranked matchmaking, and, with V1.6, it’s officially here!
You can now queue for Ranked Mode with a party size of 1, 2, 3 or 5 (all the way up to Diamond rank). Above Diamond, the previous limit of 1 or 2 players in a party still applies.
But why no 4-stacks?
As we explained during the V1.6 stream, we felt it would be unfair to match a solo player with a nearly full, likely highly coordinated team. With 3 or 5, the playing field stays more balanced while still letting you bring your crew.
Time to climb the ranks - this time together!
Refer A Friend
We’re giving seasoned Predecessor players the opportunity to earn valuable rewards, including Loot Cores and even Quantum Cores, simply by inviting friends to join the game!
Here’s how it works:
If your account is level 10 or higher, you’ll receive 4 referral codes to share with friends who are new or have only played briefly.
Both you and your referred friend will receive rewards, with additional rewards unlocked the longer they play.
Players under level 10 are eligible to claim one referral code.
Each player can only use one code, and can share their code up to 4 times, so choose wisely!
You’ll be able to redeem or generate your code directly in the Player Portal. Full instructions will be provided in a Player Support article on release day.
Controller Button Icon Upgrade
We’ve updated the controller button icons in-game to make it clearer and easier to identify which buttons are bound to each skill.
This should improve accessibility, readability and help streamline gameplay for controller users.
NEW: Augments
Your Hero, Your Game, Your Way: Unleash the Power of Hero Augments!
Take your strategy to the next level with Hero Augments - a brand-new system of enhancements that can transform your gameplay each match. These powerful modifiers introduce meaningful, customizable effects that let you tailor your Hero to fit your unique playstyle.
Designed to be easy to pick up but deep enough to master, Augments open the door to fresh strategies, creative builds, and endless possibilities. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer, you'll find tools here to make your Hero truly your own.
Using Augments
Augments are selectable in draft once you've picked the Hero you want to play with.
Once an Augment is selected and confirmed, the effect will be active immediately, from the start of the match until its very end.
Augments Functionality
If your Account is below Level 10 you will not be able to select Augments. Instead you will be automatically assigned recommended Augments as you level up and learn the game.
Once an Account reaches Level 10 it fully Unlocks the Augment System, allowing all of the Augments to be chosen as desired during the Hero Draft.
Additionally, Augment Selection is remembered on a per Role, per Hero basis. This means that upon selecting your Augments and completing a match, if you select the same Hero in the same Role in a new match, the Augments you previously selected for that Hero + Role will be remembered and equipped again automatically, unless you decide to change them again.
Likewise, if you choose a new Role for the same Hero, or the same Role and new Hero, it will default you to the Recommended Augments for that Hero in that Role again until you change them for the first time, after which it will be remembered between matches, as described above.
Types of Augments
Hero Augments - each Hero has its own unique set of Augments, intended to further elevate the most popular playstyle for selected Hero.
Minor Augments - you can choose 1 from each group. These are the same for all the Heroes.
You can find a detailed breakdown of all available augments below.
We’ll be closely monitoring your feedback after the release to make sure the experience stays fun and balanced, so make sure to share your feedback with us!

Gameplay Balance Changes
Overview
Hero Augment System added, including 3 unique Augments for each Hero, and 10 minor Augments that are shared across all Heroes.
Passive Gold Gain slightly decreased.
Minion and Monster Gold slightly increased to compensate for reduced Gold Gain.
Support Item Costs decreased to compensate for reduced Gold Gain.
Death Timers between 20-23 Minutes are slightly shorter.
Normal Jungle camps now first Spawn at 01:05.
Mini Prime and Orb Prime empowered Minions are less durable.
A lighter general Balance Pass, as a large portion of time was dedicated to refining the Augment system internally.
Gold Drip
Gold Drip is seeing a slight decrease, with this lost gold being shifted back into farm, better rewarding players that farm well and generate CS advantages in the early game, and thereby further punishing players that choose to roam or gank too frequently.
◆Gold Drip decreased from 3.3 to 3.
Death Timers
Death Timers are seeing a small decrease in the mid-late game to make a single death from a team member less punishing and potentially less “game-ending” should it occur between the 20-25m interval. This is being done through the shifting of the current Time Multiplier that is applied to Death Timers after the 20m mark forward a few minutes, therefore ensuring that high level roles such as Mid and Offlane don’t see their Death Timer’s shoot up as aggressively during this portion of the match, and thereby allowing for more back and forth to occur between 2 teams.
◆Mid-game Increased Death Timer interval increased from 20m to 23m.
Minions
Melee Minions:
◆Gold increased from 19/22/25/28/31 to 21/24/27/30/33
Ranged Minions:
◆Gold increased from 12/15/18/21/24 to 14/17/20/23/26
Siege Minions:
◆Gold increased from 55 (+5 per level) to 60 (+5 per level)
Jungle
General:
Jungle Camp initial spawn times are being pushed by back 5s to demand more of a time-cost to teams that wish to leash for their Junglers, as currently there is minimal downside for Laners when helping their Jungler on their first camp as they can easily get back to their lane with plenty of time to spare. This also helps to slow down Junglers’ initial clearspeeds and reduces the frequency at which they can gank a lane a level or 2 up in the first 3 minutes.
◆Jungle Camp initial Spawn time increased from 1:00 to 1:05.
Mini Prime:
Mini Prime’s Minion Empowerment Buff currently makes Minions incredibly durable in the earlier stages of a match, often resulting in siege scenarios where a defending team has minimal chances at killing an empowered wave before the Enemy Team can destroy their Tower. We’re pulling back on this durability by a sizable amount, better allowing defending teams to stage a defence when an Enemy with Mini’s Buff rolls up to their lane.
◆Melee Minion Damage Reduction decreased from 65% to 50%.
◆Ranged Minion Damage Reduction decreased from 55% to 40%.
◆Siege Minion Damage Reduction decreased from 55% to 45%.
Orb Prime:
Like Mini Prime, Orb Prime’s Minion Empowerment Buff is also seeing a slight reduction in strength, with Orb Prime Minions now being less durable. This will allow the defending team a higher chance at clearing an Empowered Wave before their Structures fall, should the attacking team not capitalise on a siege quickly enough.
◆Melee Minion Damage Reduction decreased from 65% to 60%.
◆Ranged Minion Damage Reduction decreased from 55% to 50%.
◆Siege Minion Damage Reduction decreased from 55% to 50%.
Blue Buff:
Alongside the Gold changes that the majority of other Jungle Camps, Blue Buff is also receiving an increase to the bonus damage it offers, better normalizing it as a viable starting position for certain ability-based Junglers compared to overly-relying on Red Buff starts.
◆Gold increased from 130 to 145.
◆Creep Score increased from 6 to 7.
◆Blue Buff Bonus Ability Damage vs Non-Heroes increased from 25% to 30%.
Red Buff:
◆Gold increased from 130 to 145.
◆Creep Score increased from 6 to 7.
Black Camp [2]
◆Large gold increased from 50 to 54.
◆Medium Gold increased from 32 to 38.
Grey Camp [3]:
◆Large gold increased from 56 to 58.
◆Small gold increased from 31 to 34.
White gold [4]:
◆Large gold increased from 34 to 38
◆Medium gold increased from 21 to 23.
◆Small gold increased from 12 to 14.
Brown Camp [5]:
◆Small gold increased from 18 to 20.
Enhanced River Buffs:
◆Gold increased from 80 to 100.
◆Creep Score increased from 4 to 5.
Heroes Balance Changes
With the addition of Crunch’s Augments, we’ve taken some time to update Empowered Right Crunch’s Hitbox, with it now remaining active for a short duration while Crunch is executing his Uppercut and connecting his fist to an Enemy, and therefore making it more intuitive to use.
Right Crunch [Secondary]:
◆[QoL] Empowered Right Crunch’s Hitbox is now persistent when it is used mid-air and now matches Crunch’s uppercut animation more closely, instead of only targeting Enemies immediately on cast.
Greystone’s ability to dish out high damage while being an unkillable menace leaves him feeling overly oppressive for many Heroes to deal with in the later stages of a match. As a result we’re reducing several of his Scalings to ensure that he has a healthier mix of Damage to Durability that moire Heroes can compete with.
General:
◆Health Growth decreased from 125 to 122.
Lightbringer [Basic Attack]:
◆Bonus Physical Power Scaling decreased from 90% to 85%.
Stoicism [Passive]:
◆Max Health Health Regeneration decreased from 0.2% to 0.15%.
Sacred Oath [Secondary]:
◆Bonus Physical Power Scaling decreased from 35% to 30%.
Even when committing to a Magical build, Grim’s GTFO lacks some punch given the intercept counter play on offer. A little more Magical Scaling on the Ability should have Grim feeling better more autonomous and deadly when committing to a Mage build.
GTFO [Ultimate]:
◆Magical Power Scaling increased from 95% to 105%
Kwang is another Hero who’s general Damage to Durability profile is a little higher than desired. While we’re treading cautiously due to the volatility that the Augment system is introducing into the Balance Ecosystem and the myriad of ways it will shake things up, Kwang can also stand to lose a touch of baseline durability, given how much burst damage output he can output when committing to damage-heavy builds.
General:
◆Health Growth decreased from 127 to 122.
◆Physical Armor Growth decreased from 4.3 to 4.1.
Strike of the Heavens [Passive]:
◆Attack Speed decreased from 60 to 50.
With the previous round of improvements, Mourn has found himself at the forefront of the Support role and picked up by far more players. However, now that he has found himself in a more enjoyable and stronger state, he can stand to lose some general durability and sustain strength as he frequently can feel overly difficult to punish even when he steps out of position thanks to his inherent durability and the healing offered by Extract.
General:
◆Health Growth decreased from 131 to 125.
Extract [Passive]:
◆Cooldown increased from 8 to 9.
◆Healing Max Health Scaling decreased from 4%/6%/8%/10% to 3%/5%/7%/9%.
Serath is another Hero seeing a small reduction in baseline durability given her general strength and damage output, better offering her opponents a chance at bursting her down should she find herself out of position or diving too deep without support.
General:
◆Health Growth decreased from 125 to 123.
◆Physical Armor Growth decreased from 4.5 to 4.2.
A quick change for Phase, with her Basic Attack Range being increased to match that of the other Ranged Heroes among the Hero roster. This will better allow her to contribute to trades and poke opponents in the laning phase with her Basic Attacks, which previously she struggled with due to the lower range she possessed and how difficult it could be to reciprocate damage.
Pulse Bolt [Basic Attack]:
◆Attack Range increased from 1300 to 1500.
Boulder Toss [Primary]:
◆[QoL] Camera is no longer locked while Rampage picks up his Boulder.
The previous round of balance changes have helped Skylar feel more threatening in the average match. However, her ability to mercilessly burn through a target with Hypercharge is too potent relative to the damage output of other Carries and is in need of a reduction.
Hypercharge [Alternate]:
◆Magical Power Scaling decreased from 5% to 4%.
- Bonus Physical Power Scaling decreased from 11% to 10%.
With the addition of Sparrow’s Augments, her Ultimate can now stand to lose some baseline strength due to all the new synergies and tools Sparrow possesses to further enable her to secure a well-positioned attack.
Inner Fire [Ultimate]:
◆Center Arrow Total Physical Power Scaling decreased from 90% to 80%.
◆Side Arrow Total Physical Power Scaling decreased from 70% to 65%.
Terra’s Highland Hurl is receiving a small rework to bring greater consistency between the baseline ability and her new Axe Retrieval Augment. In short, Highland Hurl now Pierces Enemy Heroes instead of stopping upon hitting them, and the Ability no longer has a limited range, with Terra able to throw her Axe at longer distances in an arced path once Gravity kicks in.
Highland Hurl [Secondary]:
◆Now pierces Heroes too.
◆No longer has a fixed range. Instead, Highland Hurl now acts as a lobbed projectile, with gravity applying to the Axe after a short time.
Wraith is receiving some changes aimed at reducing the potency of Support Wraith at higher levels of play, while also safe-guarding against the newfound strength of Mage Wraith, should he opt into his new Mystic Marksman Augment. While these changes may be surprising to some, they are necessary as a pre-emptive action to safeguard against Mage Wraith being too overpowered once v1.6 Balance goes Live.
Who’s There [Passive]:
◆Solstone Drone Magical Power decreased from 40 to 30.
◆Solstone Drone Ability Haste decreased from 15 to 12.
Peekaboo! [Primary]:
◆Max Health Damage Magical Power Scaling decreased from 2.5% to 2%.
Knock, Knock! [Alternate]:
◆Magical Power Scaling decreased from 70% to 60%
The Monkey King is also receiving a small round of changes. Much like other Fighters and Bruisers in this Balance Pass, he is also receiving a small hit to his Durability given the Damage and Mobility he possesses. Likewise, we’re reducing his early-game potency further for those times he opts into a Lane thanks to the general strength of his Levels 1-3 and the number of Abilities he possesses. The combination of these changes should better allow his opponents the chance at matching his aggression early, and more opportunities to shut him down should he “monkey-out” too hard.
General:
◆Health decreased from 715 to 705.
◆Health Growth decreased from 121 to 117.
◆Physical Armor Growth decreased from 4 to 3.8.
◆Physical Power decreased from 60 to 58.
Somersault [Passive]:
◆Cooldown changed from 16.5-5.45 (-0.65 per Level) to 19-5.4 (-0.8 per Level).
Cycle Breaker [Secondary]:
◆Damage decreased from 60/90/120/150/180/210 to 60/85/110/135/160/185.
84,000 Hairs [Ultimate]:
◆Clone Damage Total Physical Power Scaling decreased from 20% to 16%.
As a follow up the the previous round of Zinx changes, we’re once again increasing the damage of Bad Medicine to provide Zinx with more aggressive autonomy in the lane, thereby providing her with more pay-off when she puts herself at risk with aggressive play.
Ricochet [Primary]:
◆[Bugfix] Disc Projectile no longer turns invisible for the User upon bouncing.
Bad Medicine [Secondary]:
◆Damage increased from 35/50/65/80/95 to 40/55/70/85/100
◆Magical Power Scaling increased from 25% to 30%.
◆Erupt damage increased from 50/80/110/140/170 to 55/85/115/145/175.
◆Erupt Magical Power Scaling increased from 40% to 45%.
Items Balance Changes
Assassin:
Small Bump in Power for Dread, better tailoring it to Assassin that need a bump in Magical Durability without letting their damage suffer too hard compared to other options.
◆Physical Power increased from 40 to 45.
Currently, Infernum is a bit too well rounded of an Item, offering it’s users a healthy dose of everything they need, which makes it a difficult option to forego for many Assassins. As a result, we’re shifting around Infernum’s stats, with it losing some Ability Haste in exchange for some Physical Power to better allow other Haste or Damage options in the Class room for consideration in builds.
◆Physical Power increased from 40 to 45.
◆Ability Haste decreased from 15 to 10.
Fighter:
Augmentation is generally performing too strongly in the damage department, proving too optimal for a range of users. To resolve this, a decrease in the damage its effect provides is required, especially in the case of tankier Heroes that can rely on it as strong single-slot source of damage and allowing them to commit to less damage-heavy follow-up options with minimal drawback.
◆True Strike Total Physical Power Scaling decreased from 35% to 30%.
Support:
All Support items are seeing a small reduction in Gold Cost to compensate for the fact that Passive Gold Drip has been reduced. This will roughly result in a minimal overall gold change for Supports that buy items within their Class, while also contributing to a healthier economy gap between those Supports that opt into more expensive and powerful, non-support alternatives.
◆Cost decreased from 2450 to 2400.
◆Cost decreased from 2500 to 2450.
◆Cost decreased from 2450 to 2400.
◆Cost decreased from 2450 to 2400.
