⚠ Incident: The Great Emoji Corruption
A routine commit swapping em dashes for hyphens silently corrupted emoji encoding across the entire repo. Broken buttons, invalid interaction payloads, startup crashes cascading through arena, collection and drop systems. A real setback: over 4 days of firefighting before the arena was stable again, with straggling repairs trailing for weeks. One line of find-and-replace. Four days of my life.

Detailed Changes
AAmphitriteReworkThe Tide mechanic is retired.
QTidal Blessing
- Target: forced lowest-HP ally, typed as an enemy ability⇒the ally you pick, weakest as fallback; typed single_heal so the crosshairs agree
- Self-heals first only while she is genuinely low (≤50%).
WRiptide
- Effect: consumes a Tide stack from Q⇒a flat AoE splash: heals all allies, or damage at full team HP; Q and W in any order
PPolyphemusAdjustedEDevour
- Target: always the front enemy⇒the enemy you choose (front-line rule exception, like Sphinx Q)
- The lethal line fires off any enemy at ≤35% HP, not the default-previewed tank. New Open lines, Iron Gut second-press line.
CCecropsAdjustedWGolden Perimeter
- The "+10% damage in/out" was never read by the code; it is a plain shield and says so.
Voice and VFX
- His E line was blocked in code and now plays; new Kill, Q and Open lines; a qAoe burst on the medallion.
EElectraAdjustedWFocus
- Respects the manually selected slot, falls back to the front line, and always logs instead of fizzling.
Voice
- Her mp3s carried an embedded image stream that mobile decoders rejected: every line was silent on phones. Re-muxed.
LLyssaBuffQMaim
- Mana: 35⇒15
- The impact sound plays on every Q, the Tear-refunded one included.
EConsume
- The full self-heal only triggers if it kills the target.
MMedusaBuffWContagion
- Mana: 60⇒45
VFX
- The reworked frame set: Q 1-9, W 1-7, E 1-10. New Q, E and Kill lines.
SSilvanusAdjustedVFX
- Q/W/E frame sets added.
SSphinxAdjustedArt
- The demo picker uses the real square art and zooms her splash toward the face; the 6.9 MB splash becomes a 306 KB jpg.
MMintheAdjustedVoice
- Her voice set joins the roster badges on the demo screen.
