Double Champion Rebalance Incoming – Galleus and Norog

Plarium has just announced a double Champion Rebalance in an upcoming patch, Galleus Bloodcrest and Norog are the next to get some love!

These changes will see a huge rise in value for both Champions!

Let’s check them out!

With this rebalance, Norog has gained a large amount of value, especially notable in the upcoming Hard Faction Wars with his new Decrease DEF debuff.

• The [Block Active Skills] debuff on Norog’s A1 is now twice as likely to land, whilst also decreasing the duration of all buffs on the target.
• His A2 now applies a [Decrease DEF] debuff as well as the existing [Block Buffs], making it more impactful in battle.
• Passive now has been upgraded to be more versatile with newer methods of control.
