New update 1.1.77.62 - 04.07.16

Hero Changes

1. Grunk:

a) Bum Rush – This skill has been revised so that he burrows

‪#‎Noble‬ Heroes: This week’s hero change plans target Chavez, Coco, and Gerber.

‪#‎Noble‬ Heroes:
This week’s hero change plans target Chavez, Coco, and Gerber.

Chavez:

1) Supreme! Guard changing to: Chavez casts a spell and becomes invincible for about 2 seconds. While casting the spell, he will create a magic protection circle around himself which will slowly form up over these 2 seconds, causing armor and magic resist for all teammates within the circle to keep going up. Once the circle reaches its max size, it will remain for a little while and then disappear. Chavez will heal according to 50% of all damage taken by teammates in the circle (before armor/resist mitigation).
2) Supreme! Chop changing to: Deals magic damage to all nearby enemies.
3) Supreme! Charge changing to: Teleports behind a target enemy and stuns him/her.
4) Supreme! Strike changing to: This will add a mark to a target. While the mark is there, each time the target takes damage, it will regen some HP for Chavez.

We’ve added some HP regen ability for Chavez, but the amount he can regen depends very much on the timing of his skill casts. We hope that these changes will make him more controllable. In Island Crusade or Crystal Dungeon, you should be able to time his ultimates and use his passive skill to help him regen health.

Coco:
1) Charm Release changed to: Summons two phantoms a certain distance behind the target which rapidly deal lots of attacks on the target. These attacks will randomly ricochet (note: there must be other enemies in the area for attacks to ricochet). Phantoms will attack independently and cannot be interrupted.
2) Acheron Whirl changed to: Now flies in an arc (bigger attack range) and not in a straight line.
3) Magic Bullet changed to: Will now buff the team’s attack damage and ability power for a certain period of time.
We slightly enhanced Coco’s AoE damage ability and gave her ultimate the strategic component of having to select a target. Her former ultimate will become a secondary skill, making it necessary for her teammates to work with her skills when casting ultimate. These changes will make her more playable in PVE mode and keep her strength in PVP the same.

Gerber:
1) Soul Torment changed to: Immediately deals damage to the enemy and summons a mirror image of the target, but the summoned mirror image’s HP and attack power will be lowered.
2) Soul Strike changed to: Deals damage to targets in a straight line in front of him.
3) Iron Hammer changed to Deflection Armor: After cast, it will deflect the next three skill attacks, dealing deflected damage back at a certain percentage of damage received plus damage provided by the skill.

[Wiklrleaks] Soul Hunter info and an upcoming new World Map mode

Thanks to Eleonoris from Magic Rush Heroes Reddit

I datamined some more info about a new hero and a potential new World Map mode.

New Hero - Soul Hunter
Front row Tank. Physical basic attack. Summons large numbers of monsters to fight for him.
Skills:
?: Deals damage to enemy units in the area and also devours all Ghouls in the area, recovering HP for himself. 

Wereboar Witch: Summons a Wereboar Witch Doctor with AoE healing abilities to the battle.

Wereboar Shaman: Summons a Wereboar Shaman that can encourage nearby allies and deal AoE damage.
Ghoul Army: Periodically summons lots of Ghouls to the fight.

New World Map mode - Alliance Territory 

The Alliance Territory is a new World Map mode where alliances can set up territories and build buildings with various different uses:
The Citadel - the main castle of your alliance territory
Fortress - a secondary castle in your alliance territory
Soul Exchange
Alliance Tech
Black Market
Strategy Tower
Arrow Tower 

Buildings can be guarded by your troops and gain levels. They can also be attacked and have hit points, similarly to your City Wall.
Not much else is known about this game mode. Soul Exchange sounds promising, and it's been hinted before that this is where you could obtain the Soul Hunter hero.

Planned changes to Grunk and Jacob

From Magic Rush FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/MagicRushOnline/?fref=nf

Noble Heroes,
Below are the plans this time around for hero changes aimed at Grunk and Jacob.
Grunk
This hero has been one of the most well-liked Cannon types in the game, and to that end we are planning to enhance one of his small skills so that his AoE damage can reach the mid row and not just be limited to the enemy front row.
1) We are improving the way his ultimate is animated, changing it so that he burrows underground, more in keeping with his character.
2) Earth Shock will be changed to Forest Friend - Summons animals of the forest to deal AoE damage to the enemy and lower their movement speed.
Jacob
Since he got updated, Jacob has been a hot topic among players. After long-term testing and analysis, we plan to buff his ultimate damage and lifesteal abilities, to give him more staying power and firepower.
1) When Jacob casts ultimate, he will summon two clones of himself to attack two other enemies, having the same effects on those targets as the main target. In addition, the health regen effects they generate will go to Jacob himself.

New Update 1.1.75.60 (20.06.16)

Hero changes:

1. New Awakened Hero – Uther.
   • Awaken Skill: Silver Armor - Increases armor for all "Gunner" type heroes. Stacks with Uther's passive skill.

   • Revive: Spell - Changed to resurrect the teammate who has most recently died (if no one has died, it cannot be actively cast). The same hero cannot be resurrected multiple times in one battle
   • Time Bomb has been changed to Blast spell – the explosion takes effect immediately instead of activating after a delay.
3. Thanos: Enhanced skill animations.
   • Fireblast changed to Pumpkin Bomb - Can now deal damage to enemies over a small area of effect.
4. Little Red:
   • Caltrops - Changed so that a caltrop is thrown out which creates a cross-shaped explosion. Enemies harmed will be slowed down and lose energy.
5. Pulan:

6. Bibo:
   • Bibo's description has changed to Midrow Marksman. Physical basic attack. Strong AoE damage. Good at attacking mid and back rows.
   • Skill change Bibo Barrage. The number of projectiles fired after jumping has increased from 3 to 5. Damage from each projectile has been slightly reduced, and overall damage slightly increased

Revisions and changes 14.06.16

Dear Players, this next round of hero changes plans to target 3 heroes, and we need your input to decide whether to make any further adjustments to our plan. So leave your opinions about these changes in the comments below!

1. Yuan Skill Revisions

Yuan is a tank with fairly strong DPS, and he pairs up well with other heroes who can threaten the enemy back row, so we’ve enhanced his damage dealing capabilities.

1) Nunchuck Chuck will be redone. One of our designers came up with a unique new way to depict this skill: Yuan will still attack the enemy back row, but he won’t just suddenly jump over there. Rather, he’ll end up behind his target by circling around the whole world.
2. Bronze Shield is losing the shield effect in exchange for dealing damage to enemies in Yuan’s way while he’s moving.
3. Yuan’s passive skill will be changed to increasing attack damage for himself.

2. York Ultimate Changes

York’s ultimate is changing so that he will successively fire explosive bullets at random targets, and as these bullets explode on impact, the explosion will deal short-range AoE damage (yes, just short-range). All in all, this will make the AoE damage from his ultimate more reliable, enabling him to deal more damage. But it could also get interrupted!

3. Karas Ultimate Changes

We will make some changes to Karas’s ultimate to open up more strategic possibilities for him. His new ultimate will take effect against enemies within a certain area, not limited to just 3 set targets. Range is expected to reach the enemy mid row. What this means is that if your opponent has a 1-1-3 formation, the effectiveness of this ultimate will be a little worse than before, but if the opponent is running a 2-3-0 lineup or has lots of summoned creatures, then this could end up being very effective indeed.

Bonus Hero: New Hero Spoiler (Under Development)

We’re sure that everyone is already deeply familiar with some of the bad guys in the game, like early game Wereboar Shaman, Wereboar Witch Doctor, Wolf Rider, etc. We’re planning to take a character that has always been your enemy, the Soul Hunter, and turned him into a hero that everyone can use, and he’ll be able to summon some of those familiar old monsters to fight alongside him in battle.
The current plan for acquiring him is to let players exchange extra soulstones of heroes that are already full for his soulstones. Of course, there will probably also be some special occasions where you can get some for free, but gathering this hero’s soulstones will take patience!
Overall, this will mostly just be a hero to have around for his sentimental value (so he probably won’t be very strong!). Is that something you guys would be interested in?
