Coldheart Skins, Champion rebalance, and more!

This update brings a couple of new Champion Skins, some Champion balance changes, and some bug fixes. 

Oh, and a small announcement - our new Battle Pass will be going live very soon! This time around, it’s called the Forge Pass, and like its name suggests, it’s tailored towards gearing you up for some serious Artifact crafting. And we’ll even be adding a brand-new Artifact Set that will only be available through the Forge Pass - Instinct Artifacts. Keep an eye out on the News for a full Forge Pass breakdown very soon.

In the meantime, here’s what’s coming in this update:

New Champion Skins

After the recent release of our first-ever Champion Skins for the Arbiter, we’re now bringing out two new Skins that will transform the appearance of another of Raid’s most historic Champions - Coldheart! We’re adding the following Skins:

Heroic Skin - Necrobia.

Iconic Skin - Pyroclast.

Both Skins will be available in-game in the near future - but if you want to see what these Skins look like right now, just head to the Champion Index, find Coldheart, and take a look!

And remember, you won’t lose a Skin if you sacrifice your only copy of a Champion you’ve collected a Skin for; and yes, you can use the same Skin on each of your duplicate copies of a Champion at the same time.

Gear Removal Cost Reduction Event

A new indicator has been added in the Bastion for when Gear Removal Cost reduction events go live. These events give you a great chance to try out some new Champion builds and try out some new ideas. We’ll have an event soon, so make sure you don’t miss it!

Champion and battle fixes

1. Fixed a bug that caused the [Decrease ATK] debuff placed by Nekhret the Great’s Tomb Glaive skill not to be shown when fighting the Demon Lord.
2. Fixed a bug that caused the [Revive On Death] buff from Godseeker Aniri’s Guardian Angel passive not to be placed on allies under [Shield] buffs.
3. Fixed a bug that caused team attack skills not to work correctly when attacking Bommal’s Dreadbombs.
4. Fixed a bug that caused Kunoichi’s Blooded Grit passive skill not to place the [Block Damage] buff on her if her HP dropped below 30% due to damage from [Ally Protection] buffs or [Poison] debuffs.
5. Fixed an error that occurred when replaying Doom Tower Battles on non-Boss Stages and Secret Rooms during Super Raid Events.

Game Experience Enhancements

1. We’ve added a Masteries Guide to the game. If you would like to know more about them, head to the Masteries interface and tap the “i” icon.
2. Added a Clan Shop icon to the popup interface that shows where you can acquire items and Materials.
3. Lower Rank Champions will no longer be displayed in the “Upgrade Rank” tab in the Tavern if the chosen Champion is the only one of that Rank in your Collection.
4. The “Show upgradable only” filter will no longer incorrectly hide Champions with un-upgraded passive skills in the “Upgrade Skills” tab in the Tavern.
5. Champion icons won’t move when scrolling through the Collection section when setting up Saved Teams. 

That’s everything we’ve got for you! We’ll update you about the upcoming Forge Pass and the Gear Removal Cost Reduction event soon in the News, so keep your eyes peeled.
