Blood & Nectar Patch Notes
Patch 0.53Phoenix, the Pyre
June 23 – July 3, 2026
Egg-rebirth glass cannon, then a pure-burst rebuild, then a full sacrifice kit where his whole identity is dying for the team. Three takes across two weeks, and the sacrifice version is the one that stuck.

PPhoenixReworkTake three, and the one that stuck. The burst version was just a mage with extra steps. The Pyre Bearer is what he was always meant to be: a champion whose whole job is to burn down for the people behind him and come back to do it again.
PRebirth
- Trigger: egg lifecycle on his own death⇒Sisyphus-style rebirth (30% HP), fires on ANY ally death
QImmolate
- Damage per stack: 2% Max HP⇒3% Max HP
WIntercept
- New: steps in front of an ally, taking the hit meant for them.
ECinderfall
- New sacrifice finisher, replaces Supernova.
Full Patch Notes
- Phoenix kit v2: Atlas's Pyre plus an egg-rebirth lifecycle.
- Then a full burst rework: Q Fireball, W Pyroclasm, E Supernova, no more HP costs or DoTs.
- Then the Pyre Bearer sacrifice kit: Immolate / Intercept / Cinderfall, a Sisyphus-style rebirth that fires on any death. Burst retired, sacrifice is the default now.
