Repeated intro
Greetings, Rivals! We're thrilled to announce the upcoming patch drops on April 30th, 2026, at 09 : 00 : 00 (UTC)! No server downtime; just patch and play! Here's what's coming your way:
Hero changes
Moon Knight
Fixed a bug where the Full Moon Spin Enhancement Gear Extended Effect couldn't quite wrap its head around Khonshu's complicated demands, causing the upper and lower limits of its Cooldown Reduction to display incorrectly and miscalculating its Rating score. The Fist of Khonshu's calculations are now as sharp as his crescent darts!

Black Cat
Fixed a rare issue where landing a grapple on an enemy with Turn of Fortune could unintentionally bypass restrictions, allowing both the Claw Whip and Phantom Pursuit from her Fortune's Favor ability to trigger and take effect simultaneously. Even the world's most talented cat burglar can't pull off a heist of that magnitude at the exact same time! Her luck has now been rebalanced.
