Lt. Belica is an exciting new Hero to arrive in Paragon and on first play, she's a lot of fun. Incredibly vulnerable to melee and with a playstyle similar to The Fey, she has the potential to be a very strong Hero. With her now having been released, EPIC have also revealed her Overview. Take a look at the video and patch notes for the update below. 

Welcome to our v31.1 release, in this update we have our newest hero Lt.Belica as well as emotes going on sale for the first time! We also made some jungle balance changes to Black Buff and Orb Prime.

Lt. Belica is a Burst Caster (Energy Damage; Order, Intellect) who specializes in zoning enemy heroes and mana control. Her Void Bomb ability allows her to burst damage in an area after a short delay and restores mana for each enemy hit. Her Seismic Assault provides her a line skillshot that deals damage and knocks up enemies. She can control a large area with Void Drone which drains mana per second from enemy Heroes standing in the area of effect, as well as zapping them for damage when they cast an ability. Belica’s Ultimate, Neural Disruptor, allows her to capitalize on low enemy mana by dealing a damage nuke based on their missing mana to finish the fight!

We are continuing to work on bringing match length down and these jungle adjustments are geared towards that goal. Black Buff and Orb Prime respawn at quicker intervals and Orb Prime has dropped in health. Additional changes have been made to minion interaction with structures and siege minion spawn rate. Check out all of the updates below.
