Cyber Frag
  • Cooldown reduced from 10 to 9 seconds.

Developer Comments: Emre's damage output is high, but he can struggle to secure eliminations. Reducing Cyber Frag's cooldown increases its availability and gives him more opportunities to capitalize on its high burst damage.

Cyber Frag
  • Cyber Frag final blows refund 1 charge of Cyber Frag.

MORE GRENADES!!! Also, when you hear Emre use his ult, I bet you think he’s an easy target in the sky… not anymore.

Override Protocol
  • Ultimate cost increased 10%.

Emre’s ultimate generation rate is high due to his damage output and exceeds the impact of the ultimate. Increasing its cost better aligns its charge rate with its overall effectiveness.

Siphon Blaster
  • Healing conversion reduced from 80% to 60%.
Cyber Frag
  • Radius of maximum explosion damage reduced from 2 to 1.5 meters.

Emre’s ability to sustain while applying consistent close‑range pressure was exceeding intended levels. Reducing Siphon Blaster’s healing conversion lowers survivability. Cyber Frag’s minimum radius has also been reduced to require greater precision to get maximum value.
