Sojourn has been historically underwhelming in Stadium, and we were cautious with her power design because her base kit weapon is so powerful. We're pulling back some power from her Charged Shot baseline in Stadium and beefing up her powers, particularly those centered around Power Slide.

Sojourn’s builds have been feeling a little too expensive for how quickly Stadium matches move, especially when trying to piece together early and mid game power spikes. Across these weapon, ability, and survival items, we’re lowering costs to smooth out her build progression and reduce the friction of committing to specific playstyles. The goal here is simple: get Sojourn online sooner, let her experiment with more item paths, and make sure she’s spending more time sliding, shooting, and railgunning than staring at the Armory wondering where all her currency went.
Disruptor Shot
- Damage per second increased from 80 to 90
- Projectile speed increased from 30 to 40
- Maximum travel duration reduced from 1 to 0.75 seconds
These adjustments make Disruptor Shot easier to land and more reliable without increasing its travel distance.

- Damage reduction decreased to 25% (Down from 50%).

- Damage reduction increased to 35% (Up from 25%).
Zoom Zoom Zoom - Power
- Attack Speed increased to 35% (Up from 25%).
- Weapon Lifesteal increased to 100% (Up from 50%).
Experimental Tech - Power
- Slow increased to 25% (Up from 15%).
- Railgun Charge increased to 50% (Up from 33%).
Sojourn’s Disruptor Shot build was too costly for the payoff it provided, making it hard to justify in most matches. We’ve reduced the build’s overall expense and improved her defensive options through Power Slide buffs, giving her more flexibility to reposition and stay in the fight longer.
