Ixia relies on hitting enemies with Skill 1 and Skill 2 to chain Basic Attacks for damage output. Therefore, we've adjusted the Slow Effect after Skill 1 hits enemy heroes to trigger upon hits of her Passive [Siphon Starlium], in order to optimize her Basic Attack experience while slightly increasing the speed boost effect after hits. We've also increased Ixia's mid-to-late game Passive healing upon hitting non-hero units improve her sustainability in combat. Ixia's Ultimate boasts an exceptionally long attack range, and her Basic Attack range significantly surpasses that of other heroes. To maintain balance, we've decided to reduce her Basic Attack range.

Ixia was strong in mid-to-late-game teamfights, but it took too long for her to get a proper build running. That's why we're buffing her early game potential a bit.

Marksman that makes her own weapon with unique trajectories. Launch on 7/8 (Server Time).
Passive - Siphon Starlium
Ixia marks enemies hit. If her Basic Attack hits an enemy marked twice, she deals extra damage and recovers an equal amount of HP.
Skill 1 - Dual Beam
Ixia uses her weapon to send Starlium-charged energy beams in front, dealing physical damage to enemies in a rectangle area and slowing them while gaining extra Movement Speed. Enemies hit by two energy beams take twice the damage.
Skill 2 - Star Helix
Ixia uses her special Sand Hunter skill and sends out a canister of Starlium energy in the target direction, knocking back nearby enemies, pulling them to the middle after a short delay and dealing Physical Damage.
Ultimate - Full Barrage
Ixia disassembles her weapon into 6 smaller weapons and enters the full Barrage state. In this state, Ixia's skills can be cast in a wider range and her Basic Attack can be used on at most 6 enemy units in the fan-shaped area.
