Complete patch notes for tomorrow's upcoming Paragon patch follow, or see them in their original glory at the Paragon official site:
Welcome to V.38.1 Release Notes, dropping on February 28. In this update, we add instant replay into the game, re-adjust Steel and Belica, and add in some fire skins to Loot Crates.
Now there is finally an answer to the age old question of “How did I die?” Introducing… Instant Replay! Using this tool to figure out how you might have approached a Hero or teamfight differently can be the key to improvement.
In this update, we take a look at Steel and Lt. Belica, making adjustments to their abilities as we prepare for the larger balance pass (17 Heroes) in our V.38.3 release.
Our stoic guardian Steel’s Shield Slam was adjusted by reducing both the range and the radius. The ability should require a bit more finesse to land, but still allow for impactful plays if used at the proper time and on the right Hero(es).
The mana manipulator Lt. Belica received some buffs across the board, giving her abilities more range and control. Her Neural Disruptor will now also scale with Card Power, in addition to the enemy’s missing mana.
What are cold, metallic, and in the Loot Crates this week? Wrong - they are new Elemental Rampage skins.
We are adding the Glacier Born and Copper Beast Rampage skins to our Loot Crates this week. You will be able to receive either of these, as well as the Bio-Freak Murdock skins as Epic Mega Rare rewards!
Give your enemies the target they really want with Howitzer’s new “Shoot This!” emote.
Disclaimer: We are not held responsible for any Howitzer deaths that result from the use of this taunt.
Demonstrate true beauty and grace with Kwang’s “Swordsman Style,” and show your enemies the way of a true dance master.
