Immortality Field has always been a pain point of his kit, so turning it into an ultimate should feel better because even if you’ll see less of it, it will be stronger. Amplification Matrix as an ability should have more flexibility now with its shift to an ability.
- Instant healing increased from 40 to 50.
- Healing over time increased from 40 to 50.
- Cooldown reduced from 14 to 12 seconds.
Regenerative Burst’s long cooldown limited its availability during fights. Reducing the cooldown and increasing its healing output allows Baptiste to more reliably support himself and his team during engagements.
- Now charges up to 4 air-dashes.
- Air-dashes are used by jumping in mid-air, launching Baptiste horizontally in the direction he is moving.
- Air dash charges do not decay over time.
Baptiste is looking rather dashing.

While Immortality Field remains one of the stronger abilities in the game, its extremely long cooldown can feel difficult to use effectively for such a reactive tool. Reducing the cooldown gives Baptiste more flexibility without increasing its overall effectiveness.
