- Removed Effect: Immune to control effects during Beat Time!
- Cooldown: 12-9s >> 6-4 s
Ultimate (↑)
Her Ultimate now unlocks after she casts her Skill 2 on beat once, but her Ultimate damage still scales with the number of Skill 2 casts on beat.
Her Ultimate with 4 Skill 2 casts on beat makes her immune to control effects during the Ultimate.
- Cooldown: 40-24s >> 24-20s
- Damage: 150-270 +55% Total Magic Power >> 135-245 +50% Total Magic Power

Cooldown: 5.5-3s (does not benefit from Cooldown Reduction) >> 4.5s (does benefit from Cooldown Reduction)
Revamped Moskov (Nerfed)
The new effect of Moskov’s Ultimate has given him new possibilities, so devs are nerfing the other effects of his Ultimate hit and hoping that the new effect is used more often.
Developers also want Moskov to be able to teleport directly to a location with his Ultimate instead of having to move again with Skill 1 to get the Attack Speed boost. So they will give his Ultimate an Attack Speed bonus, but slightly nerf his Attack Speed bonuses while he’s not using his Ultimate.
Skill 1 (↓)
Attack Speed Boost: 1.15-1.5x >> 1.15-1.4x
Ultimate (~)
