New Buff - Taunt

Greenwarden Ruarc and Duedan the Runic will have skills with a new buff - [Taunt].

Here’s how it works:

If a Champion is under a [Taunt] buff, enemies can only target that Champion. If there are several Champions under a [Taunt] buff on the same team, enemies can target any of the Taunting Champions.

When using an AoE attack, only the Champion under the [Taunt] buff can be targeted, but their allies will still take damage from the AoE attack as normal.

The [Provoke] debuff has priority over the [Taunt] buff, meaning a Provoked Champion will still only target the Champion who placed the [Provoke] debuff on them, rather anyone under a [Taunt] buff.

In addition, if only one Champion on a team is under a [Taunt] buff, it will supersede any other buffs that affect targeting (like [Veil] and [Perfect Veil]), meaning a Champion under both [Taunt] and [Veil] buffs will be targeted.

However, if there are multiple Champions under [Taunt] buffs on a team, buffs that affect targeting (like [Veil] and [Perfect Veil]) will then take effect to decide who will be targeted. For example, in a situation where two Champions are under [Taunt] buffs, but one of them is also under a [Veil] buff, the Champion under only [Taunt] will be targeted - whereas the Champion under [Taunt] and [Veil] will not.

The [Taunt] buff cannot be spread, and its duration cannot be increased, but it can be stolen, removed, and its duration can be decreased.

New Artifact Set and Forge Materials.

The Defiant Artifact Set is coming to the Forge. Collect Defiant Chunks in an upcoming Forge Pass to craft the Defiant Artifact Set.

Defiant (2 Set) - DEF +10%. -15% Damage taken from enemy AoE attacks.

This set will be exclusive to the Forge Pass, so keep an eye on the news - we’ll reveal the details soon.

Instinct Artifact Set rebalance

This Set now ignores 20% of enemy DEF, instead of 15%.
