Developers of Valor released an update focused on new additions and fixes for several in-game issues. The main new additions are Resistance, New Afflictions, and Cursed Runes, accompanied by balancing changes for Prestige, buffs, and nerfs.
Resistance
With limited options for any defensive or tanky build, developers decided to open a new stat called Resistance. Each point of Resistance will reduce the players’ damage taken by 0.1%, multiplicatively.
New Afflictions
The latest update features a new Affliction which reduces the level of damage dealt by players during the round. In addition to that, all Afflictions now have an extra tier that reaches up to Tier 4, but this requires players to have strong late-game builds to handle them.
Cursed Runes
The maximum Affliction level has increased from 27 to 40, and this prompted the introduction of an extra rune tier called Cursed Runes. The players who manage to beat level 35+ Affliction will unlock and receive Cursed Runes. Previously, runes would only give four effects, but this is the first type of Cursed Rune with five effects.
