Patch 14.19nerf

General

  • Total cost increased to 3300 gold from 3200 gold.
  • Combine cost increased to 275 gold from 125 gold.
Patch 14.15buff

General

  • Armor increased to 50 from 40.
Patch 14.15buff

Death's Dance is more uncommon than we think is ideal, especially in a meta where high AD compositions are powerful, so we're buffing its armor to solidify its place as an answer to those compositions.

General

  • Armor: 40 → 50
Patch 14.9buff

General

  • New Recipe: Steel Sigil + Caulfield's Warhammer + Pickaxe + 125 gold = 3200 gold.

  • Attack damage increased to 60 from 55.
  • Defy bonus AD ratio increased to 75% bonus AD from 50% bonus AD.
Patch 14.9buff

We’re buffing Death’s Dance with a similar goal to Maw of Malmortius: make it clearly good for aggressive, high-AD fighters. We’re wary of just how snowbally fighters can get, but being forced into melee range already makes fighter’s lives tough enough. We’ll be keeping an eye out to make sure fighters don’t get too snowbally though.

General

  • Item Recipe: Steel Sigil + Caulfield’s Warhammer + 1000 gold → Steel Sigil + Caulfield’s Warhammer + Pickaxe + 125 gold
