General

• Our quest continues to bring Medusa up to a point of competitive viability. Acid Spray doesn’t rank up in damage very well, but Medusa needs to tank this first anyway. We are increasing the base damage per rank to make sure Medusa can clear waves effectively as she transitions from the early game to mid game.

Acid Spray

• Increased Base Damage from 90/135/180/225/270 to 90/140/190/240/290

General

• The famous gorgon has been just on the cusp of the Conquest meta for what feels like forever. In this Mid Season update we are making a variety of changes to Medusa to restore her to her former glory. As we aim to bring new Hunters into the meta, all 3 of core abilities are being buffed in some capacity. Heroes of SMITE beware, Medusa might be your new rival.

Viper Shot

• Viper shot now has 4 charges at all ranks.

Acid Spray

• Increase scaling from 70% to 80%.
• Increased range from 40 to 45.

Lacerate

• Increased root duration from .5s to 1s.

General

• Fixed missing fish fx for Sea Maiden Medusa statues.

General

• Medusa has been seriously underperforming compared to other hunters lately. She brings strong ability damage but usually lacks the true bite of a hunter. To bring her basic attack power up in the game game we are buffing Viper Shot to have even more shots! This should result in Medusa being quite the scary opponent to trade with.
• All ability icon art has been updated.

Viper Shot

• Increased Number of Shots from 3 at all ranks to 3/3/3/4/4.

Viper Shot

• Increased Base Damage from 10/15/20/25/30 to 15/20/25/30/35.

General

• Fixed an issue where Medusa's Lacerate would highlight Minions as if they would be hit.
• Fixed an issue where Acid Spray would not highlight enemies behind Medusa Statues.

General

• There is nothing more terrifying than a giant snake lady charging towards you with claws at the ready. Lacerate is a tool that Medusa players use when they feel they can use their escape aggressively, and we want to make sure the Damage for that choice is worth it. Additionally, allowing it to reduce healing more early on can add additional utility that might make her more valuable in certain matchups. Petrify is also seeing a buff, allowing her Damage to be more consistent if players do manage to look away in time.

Lacerate

• Increased Base Damage from 80/120/160/200/240 -> 80/130/180/230/280.
• Increased Healing Reduction from 10/20/30/40/50% -> 50% at all ranks.

Petrify

• Increased Damage on turned away targets from 50% -> 75% of the total.

General

• Medusa is receiving a mana reduction on Acid Spray and Lacerate to better assist her ability to harass enemies, especially in the early game.

Acid Spray

• Mana cost reduced from 70/75/80/85/90 -> 60/65/70/75/80.

Lacerate

• Mana cost reduced from 85 -> 70 at all ranks.

General

• The Achievement "Look at me!" will now be awarded if you "stun three or more Gods with Petrify" OR you "kill three or more Gods with Petrify".
