Blood & Nectar Patch Notes
Patch 0.49The Combat Overhaul
June 22–28, 2026
While the marquee reworks got their own pages, the rest of the roster still moved, and the systems underneath it changed shape. Eleven artifacts fixed in one sweep, a new artifact, and Gorgon's Cavern embedded straight into the arena.

Detailed Changes
MMintheReworkShe became Medusa's mirror: the same poison mechanic, but healing instead of hurting. Spores are a heal-over-time you stack on allies, Rot is the spillover that ticks on enemies, and her Last Garden now replaces a fallen ally with a plant that copies their role.
QSpore
- Instant heal (20 +0.12 AP) to the lowest-HP ally + 2 Spore stacks (HOT, max 5). Overflow spills as Rot onto enemies.
WTendril Bond
- Copies the highest Spore count onto every un-spored ally. If all are spored, doubles all stacks instead.
ELast Garden
- Effect: one plant type⇒two plants by role — Bloomfang (DD, keeps Q) or Bulwark Oak (tank, keeps W)
MMedusaAdjustedHer E self-sustain off poison was letting her outheal the damage she was taking while stacking. Halving the per-stack heal keeps the payoff without making her unkillable at full stacks.
EPetrify
- Self-heal: 2% Max HP per poison stack⇒1% Max HP per poison stack
AAmphitriteAdjustedPTidewater
- Passive: heals strike the enemy while the team is at full HP⇒heal overflow becomes shield; the old behaviour moves into the Apple of Discord
WRiptide
- Targets allies in the picker instead of drawing enemy crosshairs.
CCecropsAdjustedSignature artifact
- Carries the Burden of Atlas in the demo, which now hits allies too when it releases.
Ability names
- The collection showcase synced to the engine: his E is Earth's Embrace, not "Aegis of the Founder".
BBellerophonBuffNine newer champions were silently falling back to randomised generic stats and generating half the roster's Momentum.
Base stats
- Real HP / AD / AP entries instead of the generic range.
Momentum
- Q / W: +10 / +15⇒+30 / +25
Art
- A letter monogram in the demo picker until his portrait lands.
🍎Apple of DiscordNew
Moved off Amphitrite's passive and made craftable for anyone.
Effect
- While your team is at full HP, a healer's heals strike the enemy instead. Auto-equipped on Amphitrite in the demo. Reworked again three days later.
🎶Lyre of OrpheusAdjusted
Fix
- The REVIVE trigger never received the dead ally; it does now, and when force-triggered it heals everyone as its target says.
💧Tear of EurydiceAdjusted
Fix
- The mana steal on a dead ally never received the ally; it does now.
🌾Harvest of DemeterAdjusted
Fix
- Fired every turn end regardless; the did-not-attack condition is real now.
👁️Eye of HeliosAdjusted
Fix
- Trigger: active only, so it stored nothing⇒stores on damage taken, released on press
🥊Gauntlet of HeraclesAdjusted
Fix
- The conditional damage bonus below an HP threshold is evaluated before the damage loop; it had never applied.
🛡️Armor of AchillesAdjusted
Fix
- The dodge roll exists now, and a miss stacks dodge; the passive had set nothing the engine read.
🏹Arrow of ArtemisAdjusted
Fix
- Crits exist: a roll off artifact crit bonus for 1.5× damage, which fires the ON_CRIT hook this relied on.
🏅Laurel of NikeAdjusted
Fix
- Fires off the new crit roll; it had no crit to fire on.
🌿Laurels of GloryAdjusted
Fix
- Stacks are removed from surviving allies when an ally dies, as written.
🏮Lantern of HadesAdjusted
Fix
- Every card loses one stack on any revive, wired into both revive paths.
🗝️Key of HecateNerf
Status
- Left sealed: its SUMMON needs a fourth-card path the engine does not have. Removed outright two weeks later.
