New pseudo-cleansing additions in KF.

With the changes to Fearless, Iron Will, Unstoppable and Arctic we've gained 2 new, cheap forms of cleanse:

1. Swiftwind: It's 25 nora for AoE 2 Unstoppable, 1 AP and removal of Stunned, Ensnared, Paralyzed and Rooted and Immunity to Knockback.

That's huge! 25/20 nora to deny a reverberating blast, a rock trap etc. Great value!

2. Aurora Banner: this one is essentially a global counter to Distracted and Charmed (Possessed denies access to gaining iron will), effectively cleansing the effect of those from everyone on your team.

Do you guys plan to toy around with these two or will you stick to herbal antidote?

 

HOLY F:OOO

 

That sounds fun.

 

Wait holy Bane Shift it works like that now?? When was that changed??

 

PS4 patch. To quote from the patch notes themselves:

 

That's huge. And probably breaks a ton of these spells (especially swiftwind). Yay I guess.

 

And I thought aurora banner gave the thing that was immunity to cleanse, charm and possession? Edit: iron will

 

Yes, I was thinking of that while reading the description of fearless at the of writing - fixed.

 

Nice catch! Swiftwind looks more useful now! Paralysis and Stuns are the main reasons I would use nora to cleanse a champ or two. Cleansing Emerald does everything but for a budget and limited cleanse, Swiftwind looks nice. Did other factions benefit from on-demand Unstoppable?

 

The only one I can find (that is champion-free) is Rage Band in Sundered Lands.
