Ambitious Tywin
Ambitious Tywin will see the following Balance changes in his skills:
Icy Sword Storm (1st skill) – Attacks with a sword, with a 75% chance to provoke for 1 turn. Removes 4 Souls from the opponent. When the caster is enraged, ignores Effect Resistance. Damage dealt increases proportional to the caster’s max Health.
Battle Command (2nd skill) – Has a 100% chance to dispel one debuff from all allies when an ally is debuffed after the caster is attacked and enrages the caster for 1 turn. Can only activate once per turn.
Flash (Before Awakened) – Attacks all enemies with an instant swordstorm, with an 80% chance to stun for 1 turn. When the caster is enraged, ignores Effect Resistance. Damage dealt increases proportional to the caster’s max Health.
Flash (Awakened) – Attacks all enemies with an instant swordstorm, with an 80% chance each to stun for 1 turn and decrease Defense for 2 turns. When the caster is enraged, ignores Effect Resistance. Damage dealt increases proportional to the caster’s max Health.
Ambitious Tywin was long used in tune with Last Rider Krau in PvP game modes, with the duo amicably being called as “Golden Boys”. Sadly, he has fallen from grace quite a bit after the introduction of heroes such as Belian which take up the main aspect of Soul reduction that Ambitious Tywin specialized at, to the maximum while providing additional utility. With the current changes, he will now be getting a special buff called “Enraged” that will help him drastically to ignore effect resistance while also being able to decrease defense of all enemies with his 3rd ability. He is expected to be a niche pick still into teams that use many debuffs such as Pirate Captain Flan, Archdemon Mercedes, and Solitaria of the Snow.
Melissa
Melissa will see the following Balance changes in her skills:
Manifestation (3rd Skill) – Attacks the enemy by unleashing their inner rage, before granting immortality and immunity to the caster for 1 turn. This skill’s cooldown is reset when the enemy is defeated. Damage dealt increases proportional to the caster’s lost Health.
Blood Bloom (Awakened) – Dispels all buffs from the enemy before attacking by releasing their pent-up aggression, cursing for 2 turns regardless of whether the attack hits. This skill is unaffected by elemental disadvantage. Elite or Boss monsters cannot be cursed.

Melissa has long been ignored in the meta concerning PvP game modes such as World Arena and Regular Arena. Her ability to place extinction on heroes with her 3rd skill has long been power creeped by other heroes such as Briar Witch Iseria who has a passive that makes sure none of the heroes on the battlefield can be revived anyways. Her damage numbers have been buffed along with her 2nd skill getting a new lost health-based damage mechanic that is expected to make her function somewhat like a kayron but for single-targeted damage.
