Back in the day resurrection and healing ruled the meta. Players had trouble beating teams with Rescue and Phoenix. That was until the effect “Despair” came around. With this effect a hero could no longer heal nor resurrect. So when they died they stayed dead! The nice thing about despair was that it was also irremovable and stayed on for what seemed like 3 rounds.
Now, that is beginning to change. Once again the meta will shift back to healing because Despair was nerfed yesterday in a stealth patch making it a “Dark Effect” that can be removed by certain characters or items. In case you missed the previous post – Cloak and Dagger is completely immune to it.
Here is a list of characters/items that now can either remove despair or immune to it.
| Character/Item | Method | |
 |
Karolina Dean | Removes Despair through her 2nd level buff Prismatic Shield |
 |
Cloak & Dagger | Complete Immune to Despair and other Dark Effects (like agony) |
 |
Faiza Hussain | Removes Despair through her 4th level buff Bright Blade |
 |
Generalist Flight Suit | Removes Despair through 3rd level buff Plague Safeguard |
 |
Crystalinne Dream | Removes Dark Effects (including Despair) |
How do you feel about this change?
