August Content - No Rest For the Wicked/Beta Ray Battle Zone
Side quest is simple and based around a quest. There is a solo event that gives entry keys for completing fights with saga champs.Enchantress/Beta Ray Bill/Superior Iron Man
Enchantress has easy power steal. She has an up/down/left/right swiping mechanic sort of like Spider Punk, which lets her cast different spells. She has access to tons of different abilities based on her spells, and can disable her higher special attacks to choose which special attack to use. On defense, she is capable of storing and reflecting damage when she has her spells up. She is anticipated to excel in long fights, but with mystic dispersion she could take shorter fights as well, as well as being good on defense. She will have a high skill ceiling, but should be usable for anyone.Beta Ray Bill places lots of passive shocks, and can remove armors. He has lots of buffs, and deals large bursts of damage. He can bypass glancing, has access to Grit to handle unstoppable, and has several immunities and resistances. He is expected to do well in shorter fights, but will still do well in long fights.
Superior Iron Man gains insane amounts of buffs, and is able to parry non-contact attacks after a heavy. He can refresh his buffs, and once you build up enough he can autoblock.

1. What’s in the 7 hour reunion crystals?
2. What champs are in the crucible crystals?
New champions look amazing, Superior Iron Man looks amazing, Shathra looks fire, new everest content, can't wait for the update to drop.
Normal has 4 paths, one for each chapter of Act 7. I believe the number of fights per path are 18, 16, 16, 16.
Legendary has 2 paths, which combine chapters 1 with 2 and 3 with 4. I believe the number of fights per path are 34 and 32. Legendary difficulty also has tuned up attack and health values, it's designed to be completed with 6R5/7R2+ champions.
Wake up
- they believe the event made engaging with the content more ‘clear and simple’ (which is a good thing)
- The initial data looks promising but the data team still needs to do further deep dive. While satisfactory is important they’re also focusing on play pattern and how the summoners engage in the contest.
- Talks are still ongoing and the decision won’t be ‘imminent’ so the discussion won’t conclude any time soon.
- They will update us when the time comes.
