Hola Luchamigos! Día de los Muertos is a celebration of life and death.
Although originating in Mexico, the Day of the Dead is celebrated throughout Latin America with colourful calaveras (skulls) and calacas (skeletons).
We couldn’t miss this event without organizing a tournament in our new Arena!

⚖️ Balancing

As you could see in the leaderboard, the turtle build (Stinger / Heal / Comeback + Tough) dominates since the END was updated.
This is mainly due to Heal and Comeback scale too much on END.

Similar build up to the top 13 of the leaderboard

Nerf

Heal — now heals between 10–20% of max hp (previously healed 20%)
Comeback — deals +1 bonus damage per % of missing hp (previously dealt 20% of missing hp)

Up

Last Stand passive — Basic attacks deal 10% bonus damage whilst below 30% max HP. You can’t be defeated by a special skill

The Heal will have an element of randomness limiting its power, and the damage of the comeback will no longer depend on the total HP missing but on the percentage of HP missing.

Let is see with the tournament if these changes were sufficient and don’t forget to check out the theorycrafting articles on Luchadores Community

💰 Cashprize

As there is no limit to the number of participants, the cashprize will be progressive, the more participants, the bigger the rewards.
