Tencent Finally Catches Up
The long-awaited “version 16” update, one that gives Arena of Valor arguably its biggest face lift to date, is finally set to hit Tencent servers – Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia – on the tentatively scheduled date of August 30. Included in the update is the map makeover to better mimic the King of Glory map, the overhaul of several items as well as the introduction of support items, and some hero balance changes and quality of life improvements. Also included are the changes in a smaller (but still significant) patch that went live on the Taiwan server all the way back in early July.
Due to the multiple patches and multiple blog posts for each patch, the information can be a bit scattered, so we’ve decided to aggregate all of the information about the patch in one place. We’ve provided our commentary on any new information that’s come up since we covered the patch(es) previously.
Map Rehauled
Everything about the map was re-designed, with visual changes being made from the towers and epic monsters down to each individual minion. We covered most of the changes regarding the map, but there were a few nuggets of information still left over. So here are the full practical (non-visual) changes:
Abyssal Dragon
- First ten minutes: normal Abyssal Dragon.
- At ten-minute mark, Abyssal Dragon transforms into enraged Abyssal Dragon, which spawns every 5 minutes. Defeating an enraged Abyssal Dragon provides the following benefits:
- Tank: recover 1% of Max HP every second
- Warrior: increases attack damage by 50 (+10%)
- Assassin: increases armor pierce by 100, magic pierce by 75, and movement speed by 20
- Mage: increases ability power by 75 (+15%)
- Marksman: increases critical chance by 10% and armor pierce by 15%
- Support: Unique Passive – nearby heroes recover 100 HP and 50 Mana every 5 seconds
- Enraged Abyssal Dragon also drops the Abyssal Stone, which can be picked up by any member of either team. The Abyssal Stone makes a hero invincible for 0.5 seconds when taking lethal damage, recovering 1000 (+10% max HP) HP.
Dark Slayer
- Spawns every 5 minutes, beginning at 8 minutes into a match.
- The Dark Slayer buff now restores 1% of HP and Mana every second, provides 20% additional movement speed for 9 seconds when leaving the Altar in base, and recovery granted by the Altar goes into effect when remaining in battle for 90 seconds.
- Defeating the Dark Slayer allows the team who slayed it to summon a drake:
- The ability to summon the Drake is available for 90 seconds to the player who felled the Dark Slayer.
- Drake out-ranges towers. Each time the Drake attacks a tower, counter damage is inflicted upon itself. The Drake will fly away once its HP is depleted.
- After being summoned, the Drake grows continuously for 10 seconds, gaining 7% damage reduction every 2 seconds, up to a maximum of 35%.
- Drake passive ability: Drake Roar: While the Drake is summoned, all ally minions gain 25% max HP, 10% attack damage, 10% movement speed, and their physical size is increased by 10%
Abyssal Curse
- Teams that defeat the enraged Abyssal Dragon or Dark Slayer will suffer the Abyssal Curse, significantly lowering their damage against the Dark Slayer and enraged Abyssal Dragon for a long time
Spirit Sentinel
- The Spirit Sentinel buff now restores 50 HP per second and increases movement speed by 20 for 60 seconds. After exiting combat, movement speed is increased by an additional 40.
Unlisted Super Minion Changes
This change was not listed in any patch notes we could find, but an additional minion has been added to Arena of Valor. Looking at the red minions in the above image and starting from the left, the minions are: ranged minion, melee minion, siege minion, super minion, and finally, the new minion. The new minion – we’ve been calling it “super duper minion” – are the three minions that spawn in the mid lane when all nine towers are destroyed. The outer two lanes still spawn “normal” super minions when all nine towers are defeated.
The new super duper minions deal more damage than super minions (roughly 20% more, though we haven’t tested all levels), and have magic defense equal to their armor (whereas normal super minions do not have magic defense).
Hero Changes
The coming hero balance changes and bug fixes are a combination of the patches that hit Taiwan in July and August, with a nerf to Roxie added as well as two changes to Zill not listed in the July patch. The changes to Ignis, Lindis, Marja, Nakroth, Rourke, Tel’Annas, The Joker, Toro, Wonder Woman, and Zill were made in the July patch, while the rest of the changes were made in the August patch. Zuka was altered in both patches. We’ve already provided our thoughts on the changes in the links above, so we’ll only comment on Roxie and Zill here.
Divine Light
- Magic damage rescaled from 300/360/420/480/540/600 (+0.55 AP) –> 350/410/470/530/590/650 (+0.45 AP)

- Final range decreased from 6m –> 4m (33%)
SG comments: The changes to Wind Shift and Tornado were not listed in the July notes where Zill was buffed on Taiwan. Moving some of the power from his ultimate to his other abilities makes sense to us, especially since the Wind Shift change will make Zill feel like the immobile terror he is meant to be.

- Distance at which Max can strike the enemy when flying is reduced from 4.5m –> 4m (11%)
- Fixed a bug where everyone in a match could hear the sound effects of his normal attacks that are strengthened by his passive when visible
Item Changes
Like with the heroes, some of the items were already changed in July on other servers. Those items were Blitz Blade, Bow of Slaughter, Shuriken, Virtue’s Bracelet and Virtue’s Necklace. Since the change, Blitz Blade has become a staple item for many marksmen on the affected servers, leading in particular to the resurgence of Valhein as a tanky, stun-machine solo-laner.

Bounties and Other Mechanics
Though we outlined the changes here, we’ll list them again for the sake of completion of this article.

SG comments: In our testing (on the MSP server), we found that the mid first tower and the Abyssal lane first tower received roughly 35% damage reduction, while the Dark Slayer lane first tower received about 40% damage resistance. The second tower in the middle lane properly reduced damage by 50%.

Do you have an ETA for the 7th tier list?
We’ve already laid out a preliminary list, so we’ll just need to see if anything’s way off in the first few days. It’ll likely be within a week after the patch hits.
