New Hero: Taka!

---

Taka is an Assassin of House Kamuha. He wields massive switchblades, and his mind is free of memory and remorse. "It is a great honor to be of House Kamuha," he is told. Read his comic series in the in-game News section.

House Kamuha Slot: Heroic Perk Taka gains Mortal Strike every 2s. Mortal Strike: Taka's next basic attack deals 30-85 (level 1-12) (+40% weapon power) bonus damage and briefly gains bonus movement speed. When Taka uses an ability or lands a Mortal Strike, he gains a stack of Ki. Ki: Taka gains Mortal Strike faster and his ability cooldowns are reduced by 5% per stack. 5 stacks max.

Kaiten Slot: A Taka flips over his target, cutting it with his switchblade. Taka is invulnerable to damage and negative effects while in mid-air.

Kaku Slot: B Taka throws a smoke bomb at his feet and becomes invisible while gaining increased movement speed. Invisibility ends early if he strikes a target or takes direct damage. Turrets, Scout Traps and Flare Guns can still see Taka while he is invisible.

X-Retsu Slot: C Taka bursts through his target for massive damage and gains Ki Stacks. The target suffers a mortal wound (reduced healing) and takes damage per second for the next 3s. The wound's duration is refreshed whenever Taka Mortal Strikes this target.

These are just the biggest changes. There were a few item and hero balance updates, and many performance improvements. Read the full update here.

Minor bug. Installing the update locks you out of play mode until you go through training again :) Log out and log in doesn't fix. I'm off to redo my training! Very excited about the new hero and finally we can pay some RL money to support this great MOBA. Cheers, Combatwombat.

Yeah, sorry about that. You can hit "EXIT" right away though.

the new updates awesome except fo redoing the training again
keep up the good work :)
