Alice's mobility in the early-mid game was too weak, so we've strengthened her mobility when her passive is activated.
Passive - Blood Ancestry BUFF
New Effect: Gains 8% Movement Speed while Blood Banquet is active.
Skill 1 - Flowing Blood BUFF
Cooldown: 18-8s → 12-8s
Increased Alice's Max Mana in conjunction with equipment adjustments.
Attributes
Mana Regen per Second: 3.6 >> 6Mana Growth per Level: 100 >> 150
As one of Alice's core equipment, the revamp of Clock of Destiny slightly reduced her damage but greatly increased her survivability. We recognize this change. This time, we slightly increased her Max Mana in the early game.
Attributes
Base Mana: 493 → 750
Increased the Mana Regen to match the purple Buff adjustment.
Passive - Blood Ancestry
Mana Regen Per Second: 1.5% →
3%

We adjusted Alice's Passive against Siege Minions and changed the skill effects accordingly to balance things out.
Passive - Blood Ancestry
Siege Minions now drop 2 blood orbs when killed.
Max HP Increase Per Orb: 10 → 8
Max Mana Increase Per Orb: 20 → 15
Number of Orbs Required for Extra Movement Speed: 50 → 60
Alice's early-to-mid game performance was still below expectations, so we're improving her growth again.
Ultimate - Blood Ode
Base Damage: 60-120 → 90
Extra Damage: 0.5%-1.5% → 0.5%-2.5%
Mana Cost: 50-140 → 50-160
The mana cost for Alice's Ultimate was a little too harsh in the early game and limited her performance in the early-mid game. We have also optimized Alice's passive.
Passive - Blood Ancestry
New Effect: Creeps now also drop blood orbs.
Effect Optimizations: The blood orbs dropped by nearby dying heroes have been made easier to see.
Ultimate - Blood Ode
Mana Cost: 60-140 → 50-140
Currently, Alice's attributes and role make it hard for her to settle on a build. We'd like to strengthen her role as a tanky mage and promote the mechanic around her blood orbs. Compared to Magic Power, Alice will now benefit more from equipment featuring Mana and durability. We've also updated Alice's default recommended gear.
Attributes
HP Growth: 201 → 169
Mana Growth: 110 → 0
Passive - Blood Ancestry
New Effect: 2 blood orbs will appear when enemy heroes die nearby. Alice can absorb the orbs, each of which can permanently increase her Max Mana by 20.

We're lowering the mana cost of Alice's Ultimate to boost her performance in extended battles.
Ultimate - Blood Ode
Mana Cost: 50-90 → 40-80
Alice appeared to become overpowering as players master the mechanics of this hero, so we've made some adjustments to the base values of her Ultimate.
Ultimate - Blood Ode
Base Damage: 140-180 → 120-160
HP Regen: 70-80 → 60-80
Mana Cost: 50-100 → 50-90
We’ve strengthened her in the early game.
Ultimate - Blood Ode
Base Damage: 120-180 → 140-180
Mana Cost: 60-100 → 50-100
As a Mage who need to fight face to face against the enemies, Alice relies heavily on her Ultimate's damage and restoration, which makes her lack combat ability during the cooldown of her Ultimate. Therefore, we have redesigned her Ultimate. We hope Alice could be a durable Mage & Tank. To ensure the balance, we have nerfed the effects of her Skill 1 and Ultimate. Besides, we have added a new effect to Skill 1 so that the player can see the location of the Blood Stream.
