Embrace the Chill - New Frosty Powers and Modes! (Nov 28 - Jan 8)
-
November 28 - January 8: Snow Overlord & Snow Tyrant
-
Defeating the Snow Overlord and Snow Tyrant bestows an additional slow or freeze effect.
-
December 12 - January 8: Hero’s Ice Burst Skill
-
When the six heroes' water/ice skills hit an enemy (Lady Zhen, Princess Frost, Zhuangzi, Dolia, DaQiao, Shi), they stack an "Ice" mark. If the target receives at least three "Ice" effects within 4 seconds, an ice explosion will occur after 3 seconds, dealing area damage and applying a slow effect.
Exciting New Gameplay Awaits in the Main Battlefield! (Nov 28 - Jan 8)
-
November 28 - December 11, Phase 1:Glacial Twisters
-
After two minutes, four tornadoes will appear in the jungle. Coming into contact with a tornado will reduce movement speed for two seconds and throw players one meter away. Players need to carefully avoid or strategically utilize tornadoes to their advantage.
-
The tornado refresh interval is two minutes. When a tornado is about to spawn, a pre-display indicator will be accompanied by an audio cue nearby and a countdown timer on the map. The vision is the same as that of the red and blue buffs.
-
December 12 - December 23 Phase 2: Ice Path Effect
-
The Ice Path effect from summoning Shadow Vanguard briefly freezes enemies on its path, giving the team deploying the Shadow Vanguard a strategic advantage in battle.
-
December 24 - January 8 Phase 3: River Sled
-
Defeating the river sprite grants a sled, which provides a speed boost and can be used for support or retreat.
Plus, the snowy casual mode brings extra excitement with two options: Snowy Brawl and Snowy Race.
