Adjusted and reworked
Sinestrea- Passive Blood Bramble: The blood ritual moves out of the recall slot and into the active item slot.
- Blood Ritual: Sinestrea loses 50% of her current HP to enter a charging state. She is untargetable while charging and slows nearby enemies by 15%. When the charge ends she explodes, stuns enemy heroes hit for 0.5 seconds, and splits her HP evenly with every enemy hero hit.
- Dextra's Sacrifice: Usable after Sinestrea casts Blood Ritual near Dextra. Dextra enters a 3.5 second sacrifice animation and loses 99% of her current HP to grant Dextra's Wish for 10 seconds. While it holds, Sinestrea gains Dextra's ultimate effect: fatal damage is converted into HP for a short window, and Sinestrea's damage to enemy heroes restores a portion of Dextra's HP.
- Skill 1 Blood Hide: Fixed the ranged form failing to hit enemy heroes at close range.
- Skill 2 Blood Ghost: Melee base damage increased from 250 (+50/Lv) (+0.65AD) to 275 (+55/Lv) (+0.7AD).
- Skill 2 Blood Ghost: Ranged damage changed from 200% damage to 100% damage plus 10% of the target's missing HP, capped at 500 against non-heroes.
- Ultimate Blood Samsara: Sinestrea enters a ranged state with 30% life steal. Each normal attack fires 3 blood arrows dealing 100%, 30% and 30% damage. Only the first arrow triggers attack special effects.
- Skill visual effects and the ranged weapon model were updated.
