Hello. This is Epic Seven.

This is a pre-announcement of the planned balance adjustment of the 4★ Artifact, Crimson Seed, and the 3★ Artifact, Timeless Anchor, which will take effect after the 2/16 update. We will release a separate announcement for the other candidates that will be a part of the upcoming 2/16 balance adjustment two weeks before the update.

Before we begin, we would like to sincerely apologize for the disruption this balance adjustment will cause to our Heirs’ gameplay. With this in mind, we would like to explain and guide you through the process of how we came to this balance adjustment decision.

Crimson Seed and Timeless Anchor Artifacts were originally designed to constantly dispel debuffs from the Hero they are equipped on. However, in comparison to its activation condition, it made it easier for certain Heroes to effectively respond to debuffs such as Stun or Sleep, which was one of the main reasons that made Heroes who specialize in inflicting debuffs used less frequently in PvP content.

Therefore, we have decided to make adjustments to the balance of certain Artifacts in order to better regulate their impact on debuffs in PvP content and increase the usage of debuff-specializing Heroes.

※ The probability and number of turns are based on fully enhanced characters.

※ Skill Cooldowns will not be changed unless stated.

※ The skill descriptions mentioned in this preview may differ from the actual update.

Crimson Seed

Effect(s) (Before)	Effect(s) (After)
Has a 35-70% chance to dispel one debuff after being attacked. Can only be activated once per turn.	After attacking, has a 40-80% chance to dispel one debuff. Can only be activated once per turn. Can only be activated once per turn.

Timeless Anchor

Effect(s) (Before)	Effect(s) (After)
25-50% chance to dispel one debuff at the moment the caster is attacked.	After attacking, has a 20-40% chance to dispel one debuff.

The activation effect of Crimson Seed and Timeless Anchor will be altered so that it triggers after the Hero has been attacked. Accordingly, the Artifacts will no longer be effective against paralyzing effects, but they will be more effective for Heroes who frequently use basic attacks. We hope these changes will increase the diversity of PvP Heroes to be used in various ways.

Preview of Recall due to Artifact Balance Adjustment

The recall of the 4★ Artifact, Crimson Seed, and the 3★ Artifact, Timeless Anchor, will be conducted as part of the Artifact Balance Adjustment.

• Recall Schedule

2/16 (Thu) after the maintenance ~ 3/2 (Thu) 02:59 UTC

• Recall Targets

- The following Artifacts that have been acquired prior to the 2/16 (Thu) maintenance will be eligible for recall.

Artifact / 4★ Crimson Seed

Artifact / 3★ Timeless Anchor

• Recall Conditions

- Only Artifacts of skill lv 2 or higher can be recalled without any limitations on quantity.

• Recall Scope and Reimbursement

- 4★ Crimson Seed

① All enhancements for this Artifact will reset when recalled.

② Lesser/Greater/Epic Artifact Charms will be reimbursed based on the EXP of the Artifact.

③ The reimbursed Gold will be calculated as the Gold that would be consumed by the reimbursed Artifact charms.

④ The reimbursed Wisdom's Gaze will be calculated as the Wisdom's Gaze required to purchase Crimson Seed based on the Limit Break.
(For example, when recalling a Lv2 or higher Crimson Seed that has been Limit Broken 5 times, players will receive a +0 Enhanced Crimson Seed and 500 Wisdom's Gaze as reimbursement.)

This is an interesting nerf. Granted they werent broken but guess they denied certain debuffs too well.

  The main unit that ever used this was A. Ravi and there is literally a f2p ML that just dumpsters her now.

  dotaplayerIf aravi + seed is a problem then the root of the issue is aravi, not seed. SG refuses to focus on fixing their mistakes and instead just makes more of them. This whole situation's just business as usual for those guys.

What. I mean they weren't op but they worked for certain characters. Now they are just useless?
- DRosencraft[DRosencraft]
  2023.01.20 15:33 (UTC+0)
  Let's be honest, the only one using Crimson Seed was ARavi, the occasional DCorvus, and the only one using Timeless Anchor was newbies who were slapping the first artifacts they got onto the first heroes they got in the game, and again ARavi. No one cared about or used these artifacts until ARavi became meta. And if she was so "out of the meta" as so many seem to suddenly be claiming, then at worst this nerf means nothing since the only hero these Artifacts were being used on wasn't being used anyway.
- Lysandri[STOVE109295840]
  2023.01.21 02:25 (UTC+0)
  DRosencraftWhich then begs the question... why bother nerfing these? Like, this is both out of nowhere and far too late to matter. What's the point other than killing it for the future. Cause the usage just went from 1ish to 0.

The meta in RTA is a lot of debuffs and strippers and you decide it's a good idea to nerf 2 slightly above average artifacts to encourage more debuffs? How disconnected are you guys from the state of the game?
- Punzalan[STOVE129920836]
  2023.01.20 09:50 (UTC+0)
  Stop it dude. Debuff teams are almost impossible to pull off with Dlibet and Edward Elric alone. Will crimson seed nerf solve that?I don't know. But you seem to be the one who is disconnected
- Velanoir[kimhyunj1n]
  2023.01.20 10:05 (UTC+0)
  Punzalani know from the way you type this that seems like you never get to experience the pain for a player who got controlled by billion debuff. ed can't deal with 3-4 debuff, dilibet is one trick card, after you s3 she doesn't do much on field. most player don't understand behind this nerf, no one. the artifact is not even that op and somehow they nerf it, what logic is that?

  CaulkOfOdinYes, I am the spine of my book. Hard is my cover, and the ink in it is my blood. I have obtained over a thousand novels. Unaware of loss, nor aware of gain. Withstood Pain to finish books, Waiting for their drop rate for dupes. It leaves some regrets, but this is the path of mage users ...... and their Unlimited Book Works.

Who tf said debuff was weak.
You powercreeped it hard to counter aol s2 already.
If you are that scared of cleanse happening without ER then nerf eff or buff er.
Aravi isn't current's meta issue but lua.
Remove her s3 strip already

  ApogueoXI would love to agree with you but then we would both be wrong
- CaulkOfOdin
  2023.01.20 14:41 (UTC+0)
  You're exactly right. The root of this particular issue is that the ER vs EF check never made any sense and they just ignored that issue for the game's entire life.
pepega4the15[Candyyy2001]
2023.01.20 09:46 (UTC+0)
?????????? could make sense maybe one year ago when a ravi was still a menace but how can a balance team be this disconnected to the current state of the game to do this?
- ApogueoX[STOVE93441763]
  2023.01.20 09:49 (UTC+0)
  Exactly what happened with Hwayoung
- Osho[pepeg]
  2023.01.21 01:06 (UTC+0)
  they play it in the wrong timeline when aravi is still a monster

  MiwaMyraAnd its not like Lua gives a F about dispel when skill reset is not a debuff in the first place.
- Walph[BelkaDidNothingWrong]
  2023.01.20 12:54 (UTC+0)
  Timeless anchor perform better against faster team.
