Wild Rift (Mobile) switch games?
Fimbulwinter has been changed in 6 patches since release in Patch 1.1. 2 buffs, 2 nerfs, 2 adjustments. Most recently nerfed in Patch 6.0.
Winter's ApproachUnique passive - Frozen Colossus
- Base shield reduced from 100 to 200 (based on level) \ 50 to 100 (based on level) to 90 to 180 (based on level) 45 to 90 (based on level).
- Shield mana ratio reduced from 5% current mana \ 2.5% current mana to 4.5% \ 2.25%.
This transformed item hasn’t been living up to the amount of time it takes to achieve its state. We’re buffing it's passive to lend it a hand.
Unique passive - Awe
- Mana ratio increased from 8% maximum mana to 10%.
Fimbulwinter is currently providing too much safety for ranged champions, so we’re pulling back on how much shield power this gives when ranged champions opt into this item.
Unique passive - Frozen Colossus
- Shield reduced from 100 to 200 (based on level) (+ 5% current mana) to Melee 100 to 200 (based on level) (+ 5% current mana) / Ranged 50 to 100 (based on level) (+ 2.5% current mana).
- Editor's note: Patch notes mention existing ranged shield value that is not mentioned in tooltip. Verification is inconclusive.
Winter’s Approach and its evolved form Fimbulwinter have a place in builds for a few champions, but we are looking to make the item viable for more champions. We’re changing the payoff for stacking mana to Health rather than Ability Haste and shifting the Fimbulwinter shield effect to have a lower-cooldown that can trigger from slows as well as immobilizes.
