Year 5 Season 1 Testing Grounds: Hero Improvements Overview

Hello warriors!

We’re back with another Testing Grounds! We’ll be opening it up from April 1st to April 8th.

This time around we’re testing changes to seven heroes. They are:

  • Shugoki
  • Aramusha
  • Berserker
  • Jiang Jun
  • Hitokiri
  • Zhanhu
  • Gladiator

Shugoki’s changes revolve around making him less frustrating to play against, while giving him ganking tools and better 1v1 pressure.

For Aramusha, we’re looking to improve the viability of Blade Blockade, as well as giving the hero an opener and ways to deal with bashes.

Berserker gets mostly quality of life changes; Dodge Attacks in general are made more effective.

Jiang Jun has changes to his Stamina consumption as well as his Guardbreak punishes and his Heavy Finishers to make him stronger in 1v1.

Hitokiri has changes to improve flowing into chains and ways to deal with bashes.

Zhanhu’s changes revolve around having better neutral pressure, getting more chances to Dodge Cancel recoveries as well as improving the Side Dodge attacks.

Finally, Gladiator gains improved chaining ability and improvements to his Dodge Attacks.

We’ll be going through an overview of the changes per hero. For a more in-depth view of these changes, we’re encouraging you once again to watch the Warrior’s Den.
