Due to Lylia's Skill 2 short casting range and Gloom's small area of effect after devouring Shadow Energy, she has struggled in the current meta.
Therefore, we've increased the cast range of her Skills 1 and 2, and increased the area of effect after Gloom devours Shadow Energy.
Skill 1 - Magic Shockwave BUFF
Cast Range: 7 >> 7.5
Skill 2 - Shadow Energy BUFF
Range: 5 >> 5.5
Area of Effect After Gloom Devours Shadow Energy: 5 >> 5.5
As a Mage with sustained damage output but lacking burst capability, we have increased her Spell Vamp ratio.
Skill 2 - Shadow Energy BUFF
Spell Vamp Ratio: 50% >> 100%
Lylia's conditions for dealing high damage are too strict. We aim to optimize this while reducing the gap in skill frequency between early and late game.
[Skill 2]
Cooldown: 9.8-5s >> 6s at all levels
Mana Cost: 40-100 >> 32-80
Damage: 220-370 + 100% of Magic Power >> 220-430 + 115% of Total Magic Power
Gloom Damage Growth per Level: 30% >> 20%
A max-level Gloom will restore 50% of Shadow Energy's Recharge Time when it hits an enemy hero. >> Gloom restores 20% of Shadow Energy's Recharge Time when it hits an enemy hero.
The buffs we added to Lylia in the last patch didn't meet our expectations. We were able to simplify her Ultimate, but we also took away her 10X Shadow Energy combo burst. So, we are adding back her Shadow Energy combo back in a different way to give the pro Lylia players more possibilities.
Skill 2 - Shadow Energy
New Effect: When at max level, Gloom's explosions that hit an enemy hero immediately grant Lylia 50% Skill Recharge Time.
Since Lylia's Ultimate can restore both her HP and Shadow Energy charges, it's hard to decide when to cast it. The question would be whether it makes sense to use her Ultimate to restore Energy when she is at full HP, or vice versa. That's why we decided to remove the Shadow Energy charge restoration effect and buff Gloom and Shadow Energy to make the gameplay simpler.
Passive - Angry Gloom
Gloom Flying Speed: 12 → 16
Skill 2 - Shadow Energy
Energy Charging Time: 9-9s → 9.8-5s
Ultimate - Black Shoes
Effect Removed: Restores all Shadow Energy charges.
Slightly reduced Lylia's early game damage.
Skill 2 - Shadow Energy
Base Damage: 100-160 → 90-150
Explosive Damage: 250-400 → 220-370
We're cutting down the control power of Lylia's Skill 1 so she'll have to aim more carefully when spamming her Shadow Eneray.
Skill 1 - Magic Shockwave
Slow Effect: 40% → 30%
Ultimate - Black Shoes
Cooldown reduced from 50-40s to 45-355.

Now Lylia starts with 0 stack instead of full stacks.

Skill 2 - Shadow Energy
