    The multiverse is shifting, Rivals! In this update, the pace of Ultimate Abilities is slowing down for everyone, so expect more calculated clashes and less Ult spam moments. Vanguards, Duelists, and Strategists each get their own tweaks to keep the battlefield thrilling but fair.

This will also lower the baseline strength of triple-Strategist compositions without compromising the core combat experience.
