General

• Time to throw this dog a bone. Fenrir received some recent buffs that only made a small impact. The god has a very specific role in singling out and killing an enemy god with his Ultimate, which we are aiming to improve. Movement Speed gets heavily hit by diminishing returns when at such high numbers, so this change shouldnt be as huge as it may appear, but it will help Fenrir chase down his target more effectively. We are also partially reverting the rather heavy damage nerf to Unchained that resulted from the Fenrir Support meta.

Unchained

• Increased Base Damage 75/135/195/255/315 to 85/145/205/265/325

Ragnarok

• Increased Movement Speed Buff from 50% to 75%

General

• Through a few different metas, maps, and item changes we have not seen Fenrir really grab hold. It feels like this god really never will be released. Last time we really did see him was when he was played in the Support role! It was awesome, but not really his intent and not something he excels at anymore. To boost his presence as a jungler, we are decreasing the cooldown on Fenrir's primary jungle clear ability. Ragnarok might be approaching yet again...

Brutalize

• Decreased Cooldown from 14s to 12s.

General

• Basic Attacks
• Fixed Basic Attack while walking animations appearing broken on most skins.

General

• Unchained
• Fixed minor issue with Chompy Chibi where his tongue would stretch during ability.

General

• Fenrir has always been in a strange spot. As an assassin, his jungle was often on the fringes of being useful and he instead found himself as an aggressive support.
• He is seeing a shift today, reducing his early game control and base damage while receiving an increase to his jungle clear and giving him more reasons to build Power. Unchained was a high base damage, low cooldown ability, that enabled the support Fenrir play.
• These aspects are both being reduced. On the opposite side, Brutalize will now always cleave (but at a slightly reduced strength). Runes will now cause Brutalize to scale more with Physical Power.
• Players will now have a more clear use case between empowering Unchained for Control and Brutalize for more damage, while having access to reliable and strong jungle clear without needing to use Runes.

Unchained

• Decreased Base Damage from 95/155/215/275/335 to 75/135/195/255/315.
• Decreased amount of cooldown decrease on successful hit from 50% to 30% (halved to one third).

Brutalize

• This ability will now always cleave.
• Reduced Cleave Damage from 75% of total to 50% of Total.
• At Max Runes, this ability will deal an additional 15% of your Physical Power per hit.

General

• Fixed an issue where Fenrir could use his Ultimate's bite while using Aegis Amulet.
• Fixed an issue where Fenrir's Unchained would play the leap animation, even it was interrupted before it could fire.

General

• Fenrir has huge damage and control potential, but often felt limited. We are reducing many of his mana costs to make sure Fenrir can use his kit to its full potential.
• His powerful sustain and stacking mechanics suggest he should excels in fights over longer periods of time, and reduced mana costs should help compliment that further.

Unchained

• Decreased Mana cost from 65/70/75/80/85 to 60/65/70/75/80.

Seething Howl

• Decreased Mana cost from 60/65/70/75/80 to 60 at all ranks.

Brutalize

• Decreased Mana cost from 70/75/80/85/90 to 60/65/70/75/80.

General

• Fenrir heavily relied on gaining kills to reset his runes, allowing him to chain kills or bring extra control to escape from his opponents. Like other passives that relied on getting kills for a powerful effect, it felt lackluster when a teammate ended up getting the kill and leaving Fenrir players with no bonus runes. Fenrir will now gain 3 runes for getting an Assist, helping to mitigate that feeling.

Unbound Runes

• Fenrir now gains 3 runes for getting an Assist.

Unbound Runes

• This passive no longer affects Seething Howl.

Seething Howl

• Seething howl no longer consumes runes from Unbound Runes.
• Increased Physical Power buff from 10/25/40/55/70 to 20/35/50/65/80.
• Increased Lifesteal buff from 30% to 35%.

Brutalize

• Fenrir now gains bonus Physical and Magical Protections of 5 + 1 per level while channeling this ability.

Ragnarok

• Adjusted Damage to be consistent increase per rank.
• Increased range of the attack from 12 to 15.
• Added cone targeter to this attack to more clearly show this range.

General

• Fixed a description issue that stated Seething Howl affected allies, rather than just himself.

General

• Throughout the season, we have been looking at percentage base abilities. These abilities already scale over the course of the game due to them working off your other stats, so this "extra" scaling isn't always needed. Fenrir's Seething Howl is a great example of an ability that was being hindered by this double scaling and seeing a wild difference in power based on its rank and Fenrir's build.
• Removing the per-rank scaling will make his jungle sustain more consistent and allow for more flexibility in his builds.

Seething Howl

• Lifesteal changed from 15/20/25/30/35 -> 30% at all ranks.

General

• Fenrir now has more mana to leap, claw, and bite his enemies with; giving him some extra uses of his abilities in the early game.
• Base Mana increased from 200 to 230.
• Base MP5 increased from 3.7 to 4.2.

Brutalize

• Fixed ability not working on targets being pulled by Khepri.

Brutalize

• Fixed the ability still following Hou Yi during Dive Bomb.

General

• Fixed wrong persistent mouth fx in the lobby for Frostfang skin.
• Fixed missing hit fx for basic attacks for Frostfang skin.

General

• Fixed casting animations not playing for other players.

Unbound Runes

• Now gains a rune when he lands a basic attack hit instead of when he deals damage with his basic attack. This change will mean he will build runes even when attacking a target who has used Aegis, or someone under the effects of Undying Love.

Ragnarok

• Fixed an issue where he could use Blink during ability.

General

• Fixed issue with incorrect buff icons being used.

General

• New ability icons confirmed!

• Damage increased from 150/225/300/375/450 to 200/275/350/420/500 per rank.

Brutalize

• Fixed an issue that would cause the Fenrir client to get stuck flying into the sky.

Ragnarok

• Fixed an issue in which jumping would cancel this ability. However, he can no longer jump during this ability.

Brutalize

• Fixed an issue where rank 5 was costing 95 mana instead of 90.

Ragnarok
