**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Tactics Updates


New Tactics:


Defense Tactic - Miss-tic Dispersion

Intercepting the opponent will remove this Miss Passive. This Miss Passive goes on cooldown for 20 seconds after it expires or is removed. Anytime an Attackers attacks Miss, the Defender gains a Protection Passive, reducing any incoming damage by {1}% for {0} seconds. Max Stacks 3.

Loyalty Store Changes

We’re making a few changes to the Loyalty Store which are intended to go hand in hand with the Glory Store update coming with AQ Season 9.5. We’re looking to let players get more access to the AW specific potions,
  • We’re reducing the store reset from once every 2 weeks to once a week.
  • Introducing Level 4 Team and Single AW Health Potions to the Store.
  • Reduce the price of Level 2 and 3 AW Team Revives in the Store:
  • AW team revive level 2 45000 -> 25000
  • AW team revive level 3 90000 -> 45000

Node Changes

It’s about that time we are in for another two major path rework we’ve been wanting to do for a while. The first one that we are aiming to breathe some fresh life into is Path 1, the Healing Path. Prior to this, it hasn’t received the attention, and love it deserves. This time though, we are aiming to provide some new fresh defensive placements that focus specifically on how often a Defender can heal to create the threatening defensive placement we hoped for.

For Path 1, the new Nodes are as follows…

Reinvigorated (Fury) - 3
Every time a Regeneration Buff or Passive is activated, if the Defender is not Heal Blocked the Defender gains a dormant Vigor Charge. Once the Defender reaches 10 Vigor Charges they're consumed and the Defender gains a Passive Fury granting +100% Attack for 10 seconds.

Reinvigorated (Unblockable) - 3
Every time a Regeneration Buff or Passive is activated, if the Defender is not Heal Blocked they gain a dormant Vigor Charge. Once the Defender reaches 10 Vigor Charges they're consumed and the Defender gains a Passive Unblockable for 10 seconds.

Personal Space - Regeneration
While the Attacker is close to the Defender, the Defender gains a Regeneration Buff every 3 seconds, Regenerating 0.5% of their Max Health each second. Staying far away from the Defender causes these Regeneration effects to gradually fall off.

Masochism Over Time - 3
Every 7 seconds the next Debuff triggered on this Champion is immediately Purified. Each time this effect triggers they gain Regeneration Buff granting 15% of their Max Health over 7 seconds.

Buffet Over Time - 3
Every 7 seconds the next Buff triggered by the Attacker is immediately Nullified. Each time this effect triggers, the Defender will gain a Regeneration Buff granting 15% of their Max Health over 7 seconds.

The nodes affected are the following…




As for the second rework, we wanted to retool the Path 8 to cater better to Cosmic Defenders and Cosmic Attackers specifically. So to help create that threat, we decided to lean into the buff “Rich Get Richer” and use that as the base for the entire lane. Combined with Mystic Ward means that traditional nullify champions will not be the core answer.

For Path 8, the new Nodes players will encounter are as follows…

Rich Get Richer (Fury) - 3
Whichever Champion has more Buffs gains a stacking Passive Fury every 1 second(s), each increasing Attack rating by 15%.

Underhanded Comment - 1
For each Buff on the Defender, the Attacker has their Defensive Ability Accuracy reduced by 10%.

Nodes affected are…


Glory Store Updates

As mentioned above, there's also a Glory Store update coming your way! We normally include this information with news on Alliance Quest Updates (there is one coming soon!), we wanted to get this out to you earlier, since there are changes to the way we're distributing Alliance Potions between the Glory and Loyalty stores.

    I like the t3a and t6bc change in AW, it is well needed. My alliance has placed 1st 3 times in a row, which gives 11,250 t3a per season. So this equal to all 3 which I think is a well needed and long overdue change.

    Uh wtf, change the glory store potions back to alliance potions and not aq potions, unless you plan on giving us an easy access to war potions it’s utterly ridiculous

    Wait and see what the loyalty store costs are, if they’re reasonable then it makes sense to separate AQ potions being bought with glory, and AW potions being bought with loyalty

    Both respective modes have their own currency to buy potions for

    was there a problem with posting the new tiles?
    you have listed list of new 5 new nodes for path 1 and 2 new nodes for path 8, but in your list you have mentioned only tile 4 and tile 8.

    HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BUY WAR HEALING POTIONS WHEN YOU REMOVE THEM FROM GLORY STORE?

    LOYALTY COST PER POTIONS IS INSANE, AND WE CAN BARELY AFFORD LOYALTY FOR AQ. WHAT IS THIS???????

    For the record, your post has some code that looks like it was part of the formatting that is displaying:


    Also, super glad to hear about both the AW rewards increase as well as the Glory store. It has been a while.
