King of Glory S39 season jungle equipment adjustment: true damage removed, the jungle pattern ushers in major changes!

On March 25, with the S39 season approaching, "Honor of Kings" made major adjustments to the four major jungle equipment in the game. The most noteworthy change is that the passive damage type of some jungle knives has been changed from true damage to physical damage. This change not only weakens the natural restraint of junglers on tank heroes, but also has a profound impact on the development methods, team battle roles and even the overall rhythm of various jungle heroes.

In this adjustment, the passive damage of the Patrol Axe and Giant's Grip has been changed from true damage to physical damage, and the base damage value has been increased. For example, the damage of the Patrol Axe has been adjusted from 60 ( +4% extra health) to 70 ( +5% extra health), and the damage to wild monsters of Giant's Grip has also been increased. This means that although physical damage will be affected by armor reduction, for tank jungle heroes with high health, such as Bai Qi and Zhu Bajie, their jungle clearing efficiency is still good, and they can provide stronger continuous output and control capabilities in team battles. In addition, the damage ratio of Giant's Grip to heroes has been increased from 20% to 25% , which increases the deterrence of tank junglers in small-scale battles.

The adjustment of the Rune Sword makes the magic jungler face more delicate operational needs. Its spell attack power is reduced from 150 to 130 , and the movement speed bonus is reduced from 7% to 5% , but the cooldown reduction is increased from 5% to 10% . Although the decrease in magic power will affect the burst damage, the increase in skill cooldown reduction optimizes the skill cycle, allowing magic jungle cores such as Diao Chan and Luna who rely on skill combos to cast skills more frequently and be more competitive in the tug-of-war. In addition, its passive spell bonus coefficient to wild monsters has decreased, but the damage ratio to heroes has also increased to 25% , which means that the participation of the mage jungler in team battles will be further improved.

In terms of physical jungle equipment, the adjustment of Greedy Blade has a more obvious impact. First of all, its movement speed bonus has been greatly reduced from 8% to 5% , which has affected the roaming ability of assassins who rely on mobility, such as Li Bai and Han Xin. At the same time, the passive AD coefficient of the equipment against wild monsters has been reduced from 0.6 to 0.55 , which has weakened the assassin's efficiency in clearing the wild in the early stage. However, the cooldown reduction has increased from 5% to 7.5% , and the damage ratio to heroes has increased to 25% , which means that physical assassins need to plan the timing of skill connection and output more reasonably. Compared with the previous reliance on general attacks and high mobility to cut in, the current assassin jungle will pay more attention to the stability of skill combos and gain higher benefits in mid-to-late team battles.

It can be predicted that the jungle pattern in Season 39 will undergo a huge change. Tank junglers will pay more attention to the accumulation of health points, mage junglers need to optimize skill connection, and assassin junglers need to make a more delicate balance between roaming and burst. This adjustment will undoubtedly put higher demands on the operation habits and tactical choices of jungle players, and will also make the battle situation in the new season more varied and exciting.
