11.80 rebalance: Skartorsis becomes a reviver, Kurosa gets Unkillable

Two champions plenty of players have left in the vault are being reworked in update 11.80. Plarium's 11.80 highlights say the update is nearly here and include a Rebalance: Champions section, but the details are only shown in images and there's no release date yet. The changes for Skartorsis and Kurosa the Covetous are set out below.

Skartorsis: a team reviver with cooldown cuts

The Undead Hordes Legendary picks up a full team revive, which changes what he's for.

• Hand of Doom (A1): the chance to steal 1 random buff from each enemy goes from 30% to 50%. He then spreads 1 random buff from himself to all allies.
• Command: the 30% Increase C. RATE buff is replaced by a 50% Increase ACC buff, placed alongside the existing 50% Increase ATK, for 2 turns. It also reduces all ally skill cooldowns by 1 turn, though not his own.
• Rebirth: revives all allies with 50% HP and 50% Turn Meter and removes all debuffs. It heals by 25% of his MAX HP, plus 5% for each debuff removed, and can be used when nobody is dead.
• Rebirth (Ascended): also fills each ally's Turn Meter by 10%, plus 10% more for each debuff removed.
• Mortal Momentum (new passive): fills his own Turn Meter by 10% at the end of his turn, or 20% if at least one ally is dead.

Because Rebirth works without a dead ally, it doubles as a cleanse, heal and team-wide Turn Meter boost on Ascension. Add the cooldown cut on Command and he looks more like a support you build a team around than a buff-stealer.

Kurosa the Covetous: Unkillable on herself, and True Fear for bosses

The Demonspawn Mythical gets changes in both forms.

• Running Rampant: places 25% Fortify and Unkillable on all allies, herself included, for 2 turns, and Taunt on herself for 2 turns.
• Surge of Chaos: restores 10% of each ally's destroyed MAX HP before healing.
• Collector of Pawns: she becomes immune to Fear and True Fear and fully heals every time she transforms.
• Icon of Havoc (Alternate Form): deals 15% more damage for each buff stolen.
• Ruthless Agent (Alternate Form): removes all her debuffs, places protected 15% Shatter, 30% Increase C. RATE and 50% Increase ATK on her for 3 turns, places True Fear on all enemies for 2 turns, and grants her an Extra Turn. Bosses can't resist the True Fear.
• Vile Murderess (Alternate Form): gains 15% damage for each enemy under Fear or True Fear, and each critical hit fills her Turn Meter by 15%.

The Surge of Chaos healing, the Anything for Sloth Shield, and the Destroyer of All and Icon of Havoc multipliers are also listed as increased, but no figures have been given for them yet.

The headline is that Kurosa can now Taunt while Unkillable herself, instead of only protecting her team. True Fear that bosses can't resist is the other line worth reading twice.

What to do now

• If either champion is in your vault, don't sell, feed or use them as fodder before 11.80 lands.
• Hold off on spending books or gear on them until the update is live and you can read the final skill text in-game. The official details are only in images, and some Kurosa numbers haven't been published.
• If you've already built Kurosa, re-read her kit after the update. Her role as a tank changes with Unkillable on herself.
