Jadefang & the Summoning Update

A new hero is bringing company to the arena. This update introduces Jadefang, his innate Primal Bond, three summoning skills, and ten items built around your summoned allies. Wolves, bats, an ent, fiery totems, and Icefrost Trolls open up new ways to build your army. The new summoning skills and items can be used by other heroes too.

Meet Jadefang

Jadefang is a melee hero who shares his strength with his summons. Fight with a larger personal reserve of health and damage, or spread that power across your living allies.

Primal Bond — innate passive

Primal Bond grants a reserve of 20/25/30/35% bonus maximum HP and attack damage . Each living summon receives a share based on Jadefang's stats before Primal Bond, reducing the bonus he keeps for himself. At the highest level, each summon can receive 7% of those stats, with up to 35% shared in total. Two summons receive 7% each while Jadefang keeps 21%; five summons use the full shared reserve. Larger armies divide that same reserve between them. As summons disappear, their share returns to Jadefang. Trophy Crystal: adds another 15 percentage points to his personal reserve. This extra bonus stays with Jadefang.

Three new summoning skills

Pack Call

Call two wolves to fight at your side, with up to four wolves alive at once. They chase nearby enemies and deal physical damage. Their lifetime rises from 30 to 45 seconds as the skill levels up; summoning beyond the limit replaces the oldest wolves.

Ember Totem

Place a stationary totem that fires homing magical projectiles at nearby enemies. Maintain up to two totems for ranged fire support. They last 18–30 seconds depending on skill level, and placing a third replaces the oldest.

Verdant Guardian — mega skill

Summon a powerful ent that grows with your hero. In addition to its own base stats, it gains a share of your current maximum HP, attack damage, and armor — up to 60% HP, 50% damage, and 30% armor at the highest level. These bonuses update as your stats change. Only one guardian can be active at a time, lasting 25–35 seconds.

Items that call reinforcements

Nightwing Charm

Summon one bat for 30 seconds . Its attacks restore its own health through 10% innate lifesteal and reduce enemy armor by 60 per bite for 4 seconds. Bats share a limit of six armor-reduction stacks on each target. The item also grants your hero 80 HP and 60 mana.

Nightwing Brood

Summon three stronger bats for 35 seconds , each with the same lifesteal and armor-shredding bites. The item grants your hero 240 HP and 180 mana. Recasting either Nightwing item replaces your previous Nightwing bats. Recipe: 2 × Nightwing Charm + 500 gold.

Frostbound Idol

Summon an Icefrost Troll for 45 seconds, with up to two active at once. This ranged ally deals magic damage with icy attacks and automatically casts level 2 Chill in the Soul , adding slowing effects and magic damage over time to its attacks. The item also strengthens all your summons with +1,200 HP, +120 damage, +450 armor, +15% magic resistance, and +60 attack speed. Your hero gains HP, mana, mana regeneration, and magic power. Recipe: 2 × Beastkeeper's Charm + 2 × Magick Prisma + 500 gold.

Building around summons

• Summons fight automatically against valid nearby enemies in both PvE and PvP.
• Equipment bonuses apply to your existing summons as well as newly created ones.
• For each summon stat, only the strongest equipment bonus applies. Buying duplicate items or keeping an earlier upgrade does not add those bonuses together.
• Summons disappear when combat ends or their owner dies.

Which will you build around first: a wolf pack, an armor-shredding brood, or a towering guardian?

Other improvements

• Fixed several bugs.
• Improved game balance.
• Added more UI icons to make the interface clearer and easier to use.
