that's normal, it'll be 50-57 once you add in the base agility

The base damage on those pages don't seem to take damage from primary stats into account. For Hoodwink, damage at lvl 1 after adding the AGI stats would be 50-57.

...unless it's specifically a new patch change then nvm

It seems the running theory based on leaks is that every hero has a new ability that is updated from one of their old abilities, granted by an aghs shard

Patch notes aren't out yet but if you change your language (portuguese worked for me) on the hero pages the new skills will show up.

Not all heroes have new skills, and more than a few of them are pretty goofy:

Powershot now becomes global, but after reaching its default range, it only affects heroes (max 1 hero). Impacted heroes will be killed if they are under 13% health after taking the impact damage. Kill threshold scales based on powershot channel duration.

So idgi when you buy a scepter, it goes into your inventory slot, or into the new hud space? Or is the new hud space only for the blessing? And the bottom shard bit is only for shards, right? Or is the blessing gone and the scepter just goes into the scepter bit?

Also lol on just releasing WR + Treant I guess.

Also no map changes?

Seems like you need Blessing to activate that part of the HUD.
