As is tradition in Dota 2, the first continental tournament at the beginning of each season does not take place until after the end of the annual major update.

Just like the 7.00 version, it was officially introduced to players after the first major event of the 16-17 season, the Boston Major, which caused quite a stir among the player community at the time.

However, after TI7, the time is only in late September, and with the Bucharest Open, the first major event of the 17-18 season, just over a month away, version 7.07 went live unexpectedly.

Prior to this, the disclosure of the update time by the V Society was only the word "this autumn" in Pingtang, because the update is generally in the early morning, so many domestic players did not know the news of the new version until they woke up the next day.

The more changes there are, the greater the impact on the professional teams, and 7.07 is undoubtedly a major update, which also disrupts Serenity's training schedule to a certain extent, and the morning after the update was all gathered together to study the 7.07 changelog.

Because of the professional coach of super, and the two team brains of Kyung Joon and Dy, Charles did not pay attention to the log details for the first time, but put it on the main page of Dota 2: "Alas, after so long, the new hero is finally reluctant." ”

The new version is officially translated as "Bloody Destiny", and the two new heroes, the Scaly Swordsman and the Evil Shadow Spirit, have been whetting the public's appetite in silhouettes, and now they have finally appeared together amid the long-awaited arrival of players.

"Shadow Fragrance should be a good support, it's very functional, and its output isn't low." Kyungjoon glanced at the Evil Shadow Spirit's skills, and reasoned after a little play.

In terms of skill damage alone, the single kill of the new Evil Shadow Fang Ling is even comparable to Lena, but this hero skill mechanism determines that she has almost no ability to replenish the economy, which is also the basis for Kyung Joon's judgment.

It's not just Charles who attracts Charles' attention with the two heroes that stand out so prominently on the homepage, but his teammates, including Kyung Joon, are carefully studying the two heroes.

Dy agrees with Kyungjun's speculation, and at the same time expresses his opinion: "The strength of the Stonescale Swordsman is much higher than that of the Evil Shadow Spirit, and it feels like he can play a lot of positions. ”

Out of consideration for his own position, Jing Zhun was also more optimistic about the Stone Scale Swordsman, nodded and replied: "Well, there is displacement, and the ability to clear the line is not bad, and the ultimate move is ......."

As the two were talking, Charles on the side suddenly screamed: "Didi! ”

Jing Zhun was attracted by this strange scream, turned his head to look at Charles's screen, and saw that the Stone Scale Swordsman he was operating released the ultimate move mine rolling, and then under the effect of the impact of the second skill armor shield, he jumped into one of the few dead corners on the map, and the "bang bang" impact sound was endless, but the Stone Scale Swordsman he was operating was motionless.

"Wow...... This hero is a bit difficult! Sensing Kyung's gaze, Charles stopped and scratched his head, "This poke and ultimate move are a bit difficult to use, but it's really powerful when you use it well!" ”

"It's okay, as long as you work hard, you can practice the operation." Jing Zhun replied nonchalantly, this is what he has always known, although he doesn't take his talent seriously, but Jing Zhun can confidently say that all his operations are the result of repeated practice and accumulation.

However, instead of hands-on practice, Kyungjoon habitually focused on the skill description of the Stonescale Swordsman first, which was also Kyungjun's consistent attitude towards changes.

After sweeping the bluff and the impact of the shield, Kyungjoon's mouse paused on the Stonescale Swordsman's three skills, "One Sword Piercing the Heart": "This passive is very powerful......"

Seemingly thinking that he was overthinking, Kyung Joon took the test with the attitude of giving it a try, but the result surprised him, and he shared it with his teammates as soon as possible: "Brothers, the Scaly Swordsman's passive energy can reduce the green character armor!" ”

"Minus Green Armor?!" Super's voice was a little surprised, not because he didn't trust the results of Kyungjun's test, but because the effect of this skill had subverted his previous cognition.

The natural order of the bull can be applied to enemy units in a close-fitting manner, reducing all of the enemy's base armor. If all passive skills could be sorted individually, Natural Order would definitely come out on top.

Such a strong natural order can only reduce the white armor, but a sword piercing the heart can be triggered by a basic attack or a bluff, which can reduce the target unit's armor by 100%, including the green armor!

"That's too strong, isn't it?" pyw was also taken aback, and he naturally thought of the big bull and asked, "Then this hero is also good at playing support in the armor reduction lineup, right?" ”

His question was a step late, because Kyung Joon had already completed another test at this time: "No, the effect of a sword piercing the heart should be armor piercing rather than armor reduction, and the armor will not change during the effective time, it will always be 0." ”

Despite receiving a negative reply from Jingzhun, PYW was not disappointed at all.

This is the first time in Dota 2 that the effect of armor piercing does not create negative armor after it takes effect, but it also means that the Scaly Swordsman has its own system to some extent.

pyw couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, and opened his mouth for him: "Then this stone-scale swordsman has to be old and domineering, with this hero, those sensitive nuclei can't play at all, and playing passive is a piece of paper." ”

That's right, the Scaly Swordsman who just joined the game is too domineering!

The full-level bluff CD is only 8 seconds, and it can stab up to four swords, which is an excellent way to trigger a sword piercing the heart, and the trigger method is quite safe, and the effect is excellent!

A target of 0 armor is in front of you, which is undoubtedly a huge strengthening for all heroes with high physical explosions, and can further extend the strong period of the big brother who is responsible for his own physical output.

And this, only need to select a stone scale swordsman to achieve, and the rest of the positions can be strengthened according to the needs of the lineup, instead of the traditional big fish vs this slightly weaker combination on the line.

Although he has not yet been able to join the captain mode, in Kyungjun's opinion, the hero of the Stone Scale Swordsman has great development value!

In addition to the two new heroes, 7.07 also includes a large number of stat adjustments to equipment, hero skills, and talents, as well as a lot of gameplay changes, including the introduction of a new stat called Status Resistance, which can shorten the duration of negative status effects on heroes.

In the new version, Strength Heroes provide 0.15% Status Resistance per primary stat, +0.06% Movement Speed per point of Agility, and +0.15% Magic Resistance per point of Intelligence.

The main attribute of the new function is bound to have a profound impact on the lineup selection and build ideas of the new version.

All morning, Serenity's five players and coach Super, spent the same time studying the changelog, but when they read the stat changes and came to the adjustment of various mechanics, several of them all had the same idea.

Targeted!
