Ranked match -
We realize that when you meet AFK teammates, it makes for a bad experience in the game. Therefore in the current version when AFK behaviors are discovered, in the case where the ranked match results in a loss, for players who complete the match normally, and are not in a pre-arranged teams with the AFK player, we will be giving extra protection points by a multiplier.
Note: If any of your pre-team friends go AFK in the game, you will not be able to enjoy this extra protection points benefit. In this version, we have rolled out new in-game broadcasting function, which allows users to share their fantastic battle experience with other users freely.
In the current version, we have mainly increased the damage dealt by Tanks in the early stages, also allowing Tanks to deal stronger damage when cooperating and teaming up with others in the early game, rather than just being used to defend passively. We also optimized the targeting mechanism in battles. In addition, in the new version we have reworked our old hero Franco, and added more in-game contents. We are very happy to be able to grow and share these new developments with all our players everywhere.

Background story[]
At the habitat of moon elves, somewhere west of the Moonlake, here locates the legendary Emerald Woodland, which was the birthplace of the first generation of elves. Every elven king was born in the Tree of Life at the center of the Emerald Woodland. The elven king of present generation is the unique Estes, who was badly hurt during the second plane war and had to go into sleep in the Emerald Woodland. Moon elves lost the guide from their king ever since. However, when the flames of wars between human and orcs burned on this peaceful woodland, the young Moonlight Archer - Miya, stood up and gathered rest elves to protect their homeland. However the dominator of dark abyss is thirsty for more believers and the dark force has been growing stronger in secret. Seduced by the Blood Queen, Alice, some young elves have fallen. The race of moon elves was once again at stake, which outraged the great elven king! At a night of thunder and lightning, Estes woke up. He's strict but benevolent, and entitled with the strength by the sacred moonlight to protect his people and to support his allies. With the Code of Moonlight in his hands, he swore to repel every enemy who dares to violate his homeland.
Skills[]
Passive - Code of Moon Elves[]
Code of Moon Elves will charge energy into Estes periodically and improve his next basic attack, dealing magic damage to the target while slowing it down. The damage will ricochet towards nearby enemies, dealing magic damage.
Skill 1 - Moonlight Immersion[]
Restores HP for the target immediately and links Estes with which will restore HP for the target slowly. Linking with an ally will also improve the energy charging speed of the Code of Moon Elves. Being too far from the target will break the link.
Skill 2 - Domain of Moon Goddess[]
Guides a flood of moonlight to fall upon a specified area, dealing magic damage to enemy units within it. Afterwards it will turn into a piece of domain of Moon Goddess. If enemies try to escape the domain area, they will be slowed down when touching the barrier of the domain.
Ultimate - Blessing of Moon Goddess[]
Estes incarnates into the Saint King of Moonlight for a while, intensifying the effect of Moonlight Immersion. After casting the Blessing of Moon Goddess, Estes will release Moonlight Immersion one time for surrounding allied heroes. In the duration of the Blessing of Moon Goddess, Estes will consistently heal for himself.
