Blizzard’s newest patch coming on the Tuesday weekly reset is set to make some changes to the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Covenant Sanctum mission tables.
These changes are primarily buffs, especially for the Venthyr table which many have felt is considerably weaker than others. The Kyrian covenant is also being targeted for a sizeable buff, with some stats being doubled or more.
The Necrolords of Maldraxxus aren’t being targeted for any sort of change, however. Many seem to consider the Necrolord covenant to have the strongest table adventurers and troops, so it’s understandable to see it left off of the buffs.
The Night Fae of Ardenweald will only see one change, which isn’t quite a bug or a nerf so much as a redesign. The Ardenweald Trapper’s Bramble Trap will now be a 1-cooldown ability that deals damage and reduces the opponent’s damage for their next attack.
Beginning with the Venthyr, we see buffs across the entire table without a single nerf. Most of these are directed at the adventurer companions themselves rather than the troops available, with the only change to the troops that’s being made being the listed-above change to the Ardenweald Trapper’s Bramble Trap redesign.
The biggest buffs are the spell effectiveness of Bogdan and Rahel, both of which have had their effectiveness increased by 100%. This is nothing compared to Stonehead, however, who has had his spell effectiveness increased by 400% at the trade of the cooldown being doubled.
Health increases are being seen across the board, with as much as 50% more for Lost Sybille and others averaging between 20% and 40% increases. Blizzard seems to have done this to make it so that adventurers can use their ability before being killed.
The Kyrians are seeing much the same, with Blizzard boosting abilities and increasing health to make the adventurers not quite so fragile. These changes are set to make it so that adventurers can actually get their abilities off.
The biggest increase is Telethakas, who has had their health doubled and their spell effectiveness increased by 167%. Kythekios has seen the same increase to their spell effectiveness amongst the other changes.
Overall, both the Kyrian and Venthyr covenants are seeing massive boosts for the weekly reset patch. This is far from an exhaustive list of changes so make sure you take a look at your champions before you send them out to make sure you’re getting the most out of them!
