MXM 1.2 Patch: Huge Master Balance Changes

Aug 17, 2017

A new Patch 1.2 is here for MXM- some of the Traits for Titan Ruins have been changed, and several Masters have gone through a balance change.

The most eye-catching change out of all would be the Master balance; several Masters have been nerfed. Along with Vita, Tulam, and Statesman, who have been powerful picks in Titan Ruin, Vonak, Sizuka, Lorraine, and Pancuga have been altered in this patch.

Vita’s powerful CC skill, Wooly Ballad, was nerfed greatly, while Tulam’s weapon attack damage was reduced and the delay after using his skills has been increased. Both Vonak’s weapon attack and skill power damage were reduced, and the amount of MP consumed by the passive skill has been increased. As for Statesman, the delay after using the charge attack has been increased.

▲ Masters that were powerful picks in ranked games have been nerfed in this patch.

On the other hand, Masters that were considerably weak have been buffed- the cooldown for Death Knight’s passive skill, Dark Pact, has been reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes, and Ignuma’s toggle cost for Kindling when using Set Ablaze has been reduced from 5 to 3.

There have been more changes to the Master balance, meaning new metas in Titan Ruins are expected. For more details on August 17th’s MXM Patch 1.2, read below.

▲Tulam’s skill power has increased, but the Launch skill combo has become harder to use with the increased delay after using skills.

▲ Vita’s Wooly Ballad was greatly nerfed, but her ult, Aria of Life, stays the same.

PRESEASON REWARDS AND CHANGES

After the ranked preseason ends, the previous ranking tier information will be reset once the next ranked season begins.
