June 2026 Balance Changes: Hog Rider and Fireball Micro-Adjustments
Updated 2026-06-15· Patch Season 84Balance, Hog Rider
Released on May 31, 2026, the Season 84 patch curbs classic cycle efficiency. Hog Rider's first attack speed is adjusted, while Fireball's tower damage gets a fine-tune.
Hog Rider First Attack Delayed
Hog Rider's first hit animation is slowed by 0.1s. Defensive spells and pulls can deny the final desperate hit much more consistently.
While 0.1s sounds tiny, it decides games on the top ladder. In extra-time situations, it prevents Hog Rider from slipping in that final game-ending hit, pulling cycle deck winrates back into a balanced position.
Fireball Crown Tower Damage
Fireball's crown tower damage is trimmed by 3% to discourage spelling out defensive lanes near endgame states.
