ROV Patch Notes — 23 April 2026 | ROV META

New Hero

Flowborn, The Flowborn-Mage

Flowborn is a new mage hero with a passive channeling system based on "Flow" stacks.

Passive: Flow of the World — Flowborn channels Flow from altars to gain magic power and enhance one of four attributes: Vitality (max HP), Carnage (magic pierce), Haste (movement speed), or Focus (cooldown reduction). Consuming 1 Flow stack performs an enhanced normal attack that channels to nearby enemies for additional magic damage.
Skill 1: Convergence — Gathers Flow to deal magic damage and knock back nearby enemies. Grants HP restoration and 5 Flow stacks. Reduces cooldown of Stellar Flare and Arcane Arts by 1/2 seconds. Nearby allied heroes and creeps gain additional HP restoration and Flow.
Skill 2: Stellar Flare — Casts a spell in the indicated direction. Magic crystal explodes on hero contact or at range end, dealing magic damage and slowing enemies. Deals continuous magic damage. Consecutive uses within 2 seconds increase effect (Twin Radiance and Triple Alignment versions increase range and apply stun instead of slow). Consuming 4 Flow stacks grants an additional Stellar Flare cast.
Ultimate: Arcane Arts — Guides Flow forward to form a beam that pulls enemies within range toward Flowborn, dealing magic damage and slowing them. Consuming 5 Flow stacks grants an additional Arcane Arts cast. Other skills can be cast simultaneously during its duration.
