Risetta and the Circus Update
Fiery Swan
Risetta enters the arena — an agile dagger thrower. Joining her are Circus Tickets containing random abilities, new skills, and equipment for damage-over-time builds.
Meet Risetta
This new ranged heroine attacks with daggers from up to 7 meters away.
Circus Encore
Her innate ability, Circus Encore, grants a 5/10/15/20% chance to receive a Circus Ticket when she kills an enemy or enemy hero, depending on its level. Trophy Crystal increases that chance by another 10 percentage points.
Circus Tickets: keep them or play them?
Each ticket in the inventory strengthens Risetta. At the innate ability’s highest level, it grants +5 attack damage, +45 maximum health, and +10 magic power. Bonuses from multiple tickets stack.
Each ticket contains a random active skill — including mega skills. Use the ticket to cast it without spending mana, even if the skill has not been learned. Its level depends on Circus Encore and cannot exceed the selected skill’s maximum level.
A ticket is consumed only after a successful cast. Hover over it to see the ability inside. Tickets can also be kept in the stash, but grant no stats while stored there.
New skills
Sanguine Vigor
A passive that increases maximum health by 80/160/260/380 and damage over time by 10/20/30/40%.
Open Wound
A close-range strike that causes bleeding for 5 seconds. Deals 30/50/75/105 physical damage every second before defenses and bonuses. Features cut and blood effects.
Unpleasant Odor
A toggleable cloud around the hero. Deals magic damage over time and slows nearby enemies. It costs no mana, but maintaining the cloud drains the owner’s health.
The new skills are available to all heroes.
New items
Echoing Needle
1000 gold. Grants +100 mana and a 10% chance for an extra damage-over-time tick.
Crimson Spindle
+300 mana and a 30% chance for an extra tick.
Recipe: 2 × Echoing Needle + 500 gold.
Squire’s Armor
850 gold, +250 armor.
Crystal Warrior Armor
+650 armor, +105 attack speed, and +8 attack damage.
Recipe: 2 × Squire’s Armor + Crystal Speed + 500 gold.
The extra-tick chance from these items does not stack: only the strongest bonus applies.
