Patch 0.55 — Enter the Lair: Raids & the Arena

Blood & Nectar Patch Notes

Patch 0.55Enter the Lair: Raids & the Arena

July 4–6, 2026

The raid gets a real front door and the arena a real challenge board. A role-picker that drafts from your whole roster, a live raid feed with party portraits and a composed battle map, an in-channel deck picker that kills the DM dance, and challenge cards you can actually read. And in the same breath: Echo torn down and rebuilt, and a whole shelf of healers — Phoenix, Amalthea, Asclepius — handed real numbers.

Detailed Changes

EEchoRework

Her old copy paid a tax for the privilege. Now she attunes to a random champion IN the match each turn and casts their Q and W at full strength — her own AP/AD, the source's VFX and SFX, never their voice. No copy-nerf. A support who is a different champion every round.

PVoiceless Mirror

Each turn attunes to a random non-Echo champion in the match (ally or enemy) and holds their Q and W; casts twice per set in any order.

QEcho Q

Effect: copy a fixed source, copy-nerfed⇒cast the mirrored champ's Q at full effect, your AP/AD

WEcho W

Cast the mirrored champ's W at full effect; shares the two-cast set with Echo Q.

ELast Word

Effect: —⇒reroll: attune to a different champion for a fresh Q + W (60 Momentum, up to 3×)

PPhoenixAdjusted

Her Q kept trying to be a nuke when the team needed a medic. It becomes a real heal that snuffs her own Embers off an ally, and her ultimate now lights the whole board — friend and foe — so where the fire lands is a decision, not an afterthought.

PEmber

Burn per stack: 1.5% Max HP⇒2.5% Max HP (cap 5)

QFireheal

Effect: burst / AoE⇒targeted heal 70 (+0.5 AP) to the most-injured ally
Healing an ally snuffs her Embers on them plus an equal number of Poison stacks; if she overheals, Pyre Overflow spills 50% of the waste as fire to each enemy.

WIntercept

Self-buff: 20% per stack (cap 5) to catch a single-target enemy ability onto herself, and shields her 10% Max HP.

EEmber Storm

Detonation: her targets⇒adds an Ember to every unit on BOTH teams, then detonates all burn at 40 (+0.4 AP) per stack — she alone is spared

AAmaltheaBuff

She was healing for scraps. Nearly doubled her numbers across the board, let her stack Spores twice as fast, and gave her an Apple-of-Discord attack mode so she is not dead weight when there is no one hurt to mend.

QSpore

Heal: 40 (+0.3 AP), +1 HoT⇒70 (+0.7 AP), +2 Spore stacks

WBloom

AoE heal: 30 (+0.2 AP)⇒55 (+0.55 AP), spreads a Spore first

EFlourish

Gate: 10 Spore stacks⇒5 Spore stacks → heal all allies 20% Max HP

AppleAttack Mode

Apple of Discord flips her heals into damage — Blight (Q) and Blightbloom (W) strike the enemy team for the same values.

AAsclepiusRework

The potion surgeon finally got his real kit. His W force-feeds a full dose to a whole slot and restocks the potions it spends; his ultimate is a Master Overdose that can literally split his own body to raise a fallen ally, then resets his Q and W so he keeps working the table.

PHippocratic Bond

Any potion that fires on his team fires on him too, free — but a mirrored mana potion lands its 30% Max HP cost on him as real damage.

WForced Dosage

Effect: —⇒apply a positive dose (heal / mana / shield / cleanse) to both the ally and enemy in a slot, then restock each +1 potion

EMaster Overdose

If an ally is dead, give them half his current HP and drop to the other half; then every potion fires on him (heal, full MP, shield, cleanse, reflect), the team restocks +1, and his Q and W reset to cast again.
