With these changes, we aim to improve Aulus's passive stacking mechanics and laning sustainability, while giving him more initiative in combat. Now Aulus's The Power of Axe is more powerful, able to actively slow enemies and deal more damage at full Fighting Spirit stacks. [Passive] (↓) Max Passive Stacks: 4 → 3 Attack Speed Granted per Stack: 9-12% → 15% Removed Effect: Each stack of [Fighting Spirit] increases Physical Penetration by 1-4. Removed Effect: At full stacks of [Fighting Spirit], gains 10% Movement Speed. [Skill 2] (↑) New Effect: Slows the enemy on hit by 20% for 3s. New Effect: When cast with full stacks of Fighting Spirit, deals additional Physical Damage equal to 3.5-6% (scales with Skill Level) of the target's Max HP to enemies in range (capped at 200-900 Extra Damage against Creeps). Base Damage: 240-440 → 200-400 Enhanced Basic Attack's HP Recovery Trigger: Hitting enemy heroes or Creeps → Hitting enemy targets (now includes enemy Minions) [Ultimate] (↑) Blade Craft Effect: Basic Attacks deal 50 extra Physical Damage at full [Fighting Spirit] stacks → Basic Attacks always deal 50 extra Physical Damage (can be stacked with the effect of full [Fighting Spirit] stacks) Zilong (↑) We've improved Zilong's early and mid-game combat ability, making it easier to reset his Skill 2. We've also slightly reduced the Attack Speed of his Ultimate for balance. [Passive] (↑) Base HP Regen: 30 → 50 New Effect: When the target's HP is below 50%, Zilong's skills and Basic Attacks deal 30 extra damage. [Ultimate] (↓) Attack Speed Boost: 45%-75% → 35%-55% Badang (↑) Badang's Ultimate has a relatively short control duration but a long damage duration, making it difficult to maximize damage output. Therefore, we've increased its Control Duration and balanced this by increasing its cooldown. We've also shortened Skill 1's foreswing to improve the control experience. [Skill 1] (↑) Reduced the foreswing time by 25%. [Ultimate] (~) Control Duration: 0.6s → 1s Cooldown: 30-26s → 45-35s
