Predecessor Update 1.18 Frostbite Introduces Kaelen and Overclocked LTM

What changed
Update 1.18: Frostbite introduces Kaelen, a twin-greatsword knight cursed with the mark of the wolf who uses ice abilities in combat.
Kaelen’s Kit and Base Stats
- Base Stats: 695 Health (+131 per level), 2.3 Health Regen (+0.25 per level), 310 Mana (+60 per level), 1.4 Mana Regen (+0.2 per level), 135 Attack Speed (+2.2 per level), 36 Physical Armor (+4.8 per level), 31 Magical Armor (+1.7 per level), 65 Physical Power (+5.2 per level), 700 Movement Speed, and 1.5 BAT.
- Heart Of Ice (Effect): Abilities leave behind Rimeglass patches for 6 seconds. Enemies standing on Rimeglass are afflicted with Frostbite for 1 second, suffering a 15% slow and taking 0.5% of their Max Health as True Damage every 0.5 seconds.
- Pale Twins (Melee): Melee basic attack with a 325u range and 25% cleave, dealing 65 (+80% Bonus Physical Power) Physical Damage.
- Razorstorm: Kaelen spins his greatswords over 3.5 seconds in a 400u radius, dealing 7.5/10/12.5/15/17.5 (+8%/10%/12%/14%/16% Total Physical Power) (+0.5%/0.825%/1.15%/1.475%/1.8% Max Health) Physical Damage every 0.25 seconds. Spins continuously spawn Rimeglass underneath him and cannot be interrupted by Hard Crowd Control (spinning continues even while stunned). Deals 60% damage to minions and +5 bonus damage to monsters per hit. Passive: Increases total Physical and Magical Armor by 4/6/8/10/12%, multiplied by 1.5x while standing on Rimeglass.
- Winter’s Pursuit: A 1100u dash that stops past the first enemy hero hit, dealing 70/95/120/145/170 (+100% Bonus Physical Power) Physical Damage and slowing by 25% for 1.2 seconds. Targets afflicted with Frostbite take double damage and are rooted for 1.2 seconds instead of slowed.
- Rimefang: Channels for 0.6 seconds before firing a projectile 2250u forward that pierces terrain and leaves a trail of Rimeglass. Deals (+11%/12%/13%/14%/15% Target’s Max Health) Physical Damage, stuns for 0.2 seconds, and slows targets by 50% for 1.5 seconds.
- Frostfall (Ultimate): Kaelen channels for 1.5 seconds, then leaps into the sky for up to 4 seconds with 1275 Movement Speed, terrain traversal, and damage immunity. Upon crashing down, he deals 200/300/400 (+100% Bonus Physical Power) (+6% Bonus Health) Physical Damage in an area and slows by 40% for 1.5 seconds. Targets in the center are rooted for 1.5 seconds. Landing leaves behind an 8-second Frost Storm that constantly afflicts enemies inside with double-damage Frostbite.
Hero Augments
- Relentless Hunt: Razorstorm strikes extra times based on owned Attack Speed (+1 strike per 20% Attack Speed, up to +10) and can land critical strikes, but Rimeglass no longer grants bonus armor.
- Neverending Chase: Basic attacks from Pale Twins or ability strikes against enemy heroes and camp leaders reduce Winter’s Pursuit’s cooldown by 3% per hit.
- Last Winter: Frostfall grants allies in its target zone +20% Movement Speed for 3 seconds. Landing grants Kaelen a shield equal to (+10% Max Health) (+4% Max Health per enemy hero hit) for 4 seconds.
Overclocked Limited-Time Mode
Update 1.18 adds Overclocked, a limited-time mode focused on rapid team fights with matches lasting roughly 14 to 20 minutes.
- Resource Changes: Abilities cost zero Mana or Energy.
- Economy Acceleration: Gold and XP generation are significantly boosted to accelerate builds to end-game states faster.
- System Updates: Recalls are permanently set to Empowered Recall. Stepping on a Jump Pad launches players directly toward the furthest remaining tower in that lane.
Ranked Ladder and Charity Updates
- Ranked Split 6: Split 5 has ended. Players receive Split 5 peak rank icons and banners, while winning 15 games unlocks the Royal Wukong skin. Split 6 is now active.
- Ranked Adjustments: A new tier has been added, Paragon rank is reserved for top players, and remaining teammates lose significantly less VP if a player goes AFK.
- Charity Partnership: 10% of sales from Kaelen’s Quantum skin and bundles will be donated to the Wolf Conservation Center.
Why it matters
Kaelen brings heavy crowd-control zoning to matches through Rimeglass fields, true damage ticks, and terrain-piercing skillshots. His kit rewards positioning on frozen terrain to gain passive armor boosts via Razorstorm and root targets using Winter’s Pursuit.
The addition of Overclocked provides a low-downtime environment where players do not need to manage energy or mana, allowing teams to quickly test full item builds in short 14-to-20-minute matches. Meanwhile, the ranked changes protect active players from severe VP penalties when teammates disconnect during a match.
What to do next
- Log in for Split 6: Claim peak rank rewards from Split 5 and complete placement matches for the new split.
- Play Overclocked: Test the limited-time mode to experience zero-cost ability fights and Giga Jump Pads.
- Try Kaelen: Unlock Kaelen and experiment with his three Augments to tailor builds toward critical strikes, lower mobility cooldowns, or ultimate shielding.
- Support the Charity Initiative: Purchases of Kaelen’s Quantum skin and associated bundles directly contribute a 10% share to the Wolf Conservation Center.
