**Arcade is being extra tricky with his Murder Box...**
It appears Arcade has been non-cooperative in his approach to this month's side quest and presented his clues in a nonsensical order. Lucky you, Summoners, we have our best and brightest on the case and those clues should now be a lot more straightforward. While messing around in Arcade's files we came across a phrase, highlighted and bolded, with sparkles and pointy arrows: "the abode for the dead" ... Maybe that will help you along the way!

So let's say you have 10 people in your Alliance who owns Ebony Maw - what are the other 9 players supposed to use him for? He won't be good in Story or UC Quests. A 6* Maw would struggle in Act 5. I doubt he'll beat more than 1-2 players even in UC quests.
So why go through all the effort of designing a beautiful champ to have him be an Arena fodder?
He should definitely be able to purify more debuffs in guard stance. Current meta stacks up debuffs really fast and Ronin can't keep up. A guaranteed purify upon entering and a certain chance with every sword hit, that should do it. Maybe with every purification gain a cruelty passive.
I agree increasing his bleed damage.
I don't expect every champ to be ghost, but I do expect, that one champ can be better, than another, if they have longer or more difficult ramp up or more exclusive match ups or some other limitations. That's why corvus is good imo - he needs to fight limited number of opponents to get his charges, and so won't be useful for anything. As for ronin, I don't see any real use for him. Even sparky, a 2017(?) champ, has some taunts and evade chance along his charges.
The goal with these rebalances is not to bring Champs to the Top of the pool, but to make tuning changes if they are underperforming. Ronin is not Aegon, but we're not looking to create another Aegon with every new Champion.
@Kabam Miike would you elaborate on who you guys categorize as “top of the pool”; just to see if we’re all on the same page.
Increase Ronin’s bleed damage. He can get some impressive bleed damage with L2, especially with a fury active, but his basic bleeds are very weak. Bump up his basic bleed damage to be on par with champs like Wolverine or Drax. They don’t need to be devastating, but respectable bleeds would appeal to more players.
Bump up his defensive ability accuracy reduction. Right now it’s 40 in wraith and 40 with disorient, which is alright but as mentioned before, disorient expires so quickly you cannot really take advantage of it. This is what I propose. Bring wraith to 50 and disorient to 50 giving a full 100% reduction. If you don’t want to do that, keep wraith at 40 and if you use an L1 while in wraith mode, get 60% additional DAAR with a 50-100% duration on disorient. This would let you get the most out of his wraith mode. Any variation of increasing DAAR or disorient duration would go a long way to increasing appeal with this champ without making him OP.
Signature Ability: his fury don’t seem to stack even though it says they do (I could be wrong). Making sure this works and maybe increasing the evasion timer slightly (even .5 seconds) would make him so much better. Even at sig 200 his evasion timer seems just a tad bit short.
These are minor changes that can help increase the appeal of this champ to other players without making him top tier and overpowered.
Really a bummer that Kabam seems to disagree since Ronin isn't going to be looked at any further at this time.
Happy to hear Ebony Maw will get some sort of buff. Bummer to hear Cull getting the opposite.
At the moment there are tons of champions in the 5 and 6 star pools who are absolute garbage. I've pulled loads of them as fives, who I'll never touch until they get a buff. King Groot, Superior Iron Man, Howard, Miles Morales, Gambit, Taskmaster, Groot, Black Panther Classic, Thor Ragnorok. All those champions are far more in need of "rebalancing" than HT. And I also pulled a four star Ronin last month, who I haven't touched because he's not interesting enough to rank up as a four. My HT on the other hand is rank 4, and unduped! And Ebony Maw is a decent defender although, granted, he may need a buff for attack (I've not got him yet).
Who I do have is a mostly useless 6* Diablo, and I think that he's far more in need of a buff than either HT or The Maw. Diablo is fun to play, but he's one of the worst champions I could've pulled with my first 6* crystal in terms of clearing anything. The only way you can do meaningful damage is with an L2, and he is limited to 8 strong L2s per quest. He doesn't do anything really well either... He has a bit of regen, a bit of utility in terms of poison resistance and counterflow, but it's not brilliant, nothing that he can do really well... He should be buffed before most of the others! Give him 95% poison resistance instead of 30% so he heals from suicides with willpower, and a more useful arsenal in terms of utility, higher proc chances or something. Make him more reliable, and he becomes better.
I'm not a game dev, but I wonder where you guys get off saying HT needs a buff whilst there is so much trash in the game that people pull every day from their first six star crystal that they've been saving up for months after they spend a load of revives getting the Collector down. It's pretty unfair.
