Dancing Blaze
  • Reduced the amount of visual effects enemies see when impacted by Dancing Blaze.
Vermillion Revival
  • Cast time reduced from 3 to 2.5 seconds.

Developer Comments: Dancing Blaze can generate significant visual clutter, making Anran difficult to track during combat. We're removing the visual clones visible to opponents to improve clarity. Vermillion Revival's cast time is also being reduced to shorten the window opponents have to react.

  • Base move speed increased from 6 m/s to 6.5 m/s.
Zhuque Fans
  • Fire rate increased by 50%.
  • Projectile speed increased from 90 to 150 m/s.
Inferno Rush
  • Anran can now hold backwards to dash backwards.
  • Initial launch speed increased by 27%.

Anran struggles to light opponents on fire to secure kills, often having to choose to trade in order to obtain kills. These changes make it much easier to light opponents on fire and allow Anran to deal slightly increased damage from range, and her range of movement with Inferno Rush has been increased to allow her more escape options.

Inferno Rush
  • Reduced recovery after the ability from 0.3 to 0.1 seconds.
Dancing Blaze
  • Reduced recovery after the ability from 0.2 to 0.1 seconds.

These changes enhance the fluidity of Anran’s abilities, allowing for smoother ability flow without significantly increasing her overall power.

Perk Costs
  • Minor Perk cost reduced by 7%.
  • Major Perk cost reduced by 5%.
Fan the Flames
  • Impact damage increased from 5 to 6.
Inferno Rush
  • Impact damage reduced from 50 to 30.
Dancing Blaze
  • Now heals Anran for 50 health on the first target hit and 25 health for each subsequent target.
Hungering Blaze – Major Perk
  • Changed.
  • Increases the healing of Dancing Blaze’s subsequent strikes by 25.

Anran’s damage could feel underpowered relative to the time required to ignite enemies. Increasing Fan the Flames’ damage improves her ability to secure eliminations, while adding healing to Dancing Blaze’s base kit rewards effective use of the ability and improves her survivability.
