I never saw those pre-nerf, I don’t think. If I did, I didn’t have them at that point. Almost makes me wish we could have the originals with the way the new heros have gone.

Athena had no cap to her defense down
Alberich healed more than he does now
Guinevere buffed dark defense by 94% and healed for more as well
So, the last update that really did any hero adjustment was v20. Do we know if they plan on releasing a similar hero adjustment update?
They have
They called it costumes

Yeah, but that’s just season 1 heroes. What about the rest of them?
They haven’t ruled out costumes for hotm and event heroes
Just wont be soon
And considering hotm and event heroes are typically steps above s1 heores as is, it’ll be awhile
Just for clarification, I think these mana skills changes in Version 28 deserve to be in the buff/debuff history.
Negatively affects heroes’ mana reduction resist passive like Red Hood, Seshat, Poseidon .
Positively affects heroes like Gazelle, Onatel, Pixie, Hansel, Gretal.
Changes related to mana skills:
- Mana Drain is now called Direct Mana Reduction, to better describe the effect.
- Skill & passive descriptions updated (Red Hood, Seshat).
- Mana Steal cannot be resisted by Direct Mana Reduction preventing status effects and minions.
- Resist Direct Mana Reduction passive skill doesn’t resist mana reduction from status effects anymore (e.g. Gazelle’s spirit dance, Onatel’s mana steal, Spell Slay by Pixie, Hansel & Gretel).
- Resist Direct Mana Reduction passive has a new icon.
- Mana shield talent can resist the mana steal status effect, but steal cannot be resisted once the mana steal status effect is applied to the hero.
- Please note that Red Hoods Fox minions resisted steal previously.
- Poseidon’s Resist new negative mana effects status effect won’t affect Onatels mana steal debuff if it’s already active.
- Mana Shield no longer triggers randomly from non-mana related items.

I think it was bugs in version 27, then fixed in V28. Well I think I should also remove counter attack, because it was also bugs in previous version V26.
I mean this, I will remove now:
It does not belong to nerf/buff categories.

@Rigs, this is before my time - do you know what the early healing numbers were? It’s not listed in the table @jinbatsu put together (though the dark defense change is). As you can imagine, search for “Guinevere + nerf” was a largely unproductive activity.

Same as it is now
In beta they tested a reduction from 612hp to 548hp but didn’t release it
I thought they did. Looks like she’s recieved 1 nerf from what i can tell which is the one u already mentioned

Great work… adding a few that I found, though, which weren’t in your list.

I wasn’t around then but am sure I have heard people talk about a Wu Kong nerf, where his attack up % was decreased?
It’s also funny, or NOT, how some heros have never been buffed but need one badly. Thoth-Amun, for example. 215% dmg with poor stats!
C’mon SG! Give me something to work with!!!
Great post @jinbatsu ! 
And thanks @Sir_Killalot for requesting the info.

Finally found the answers to the cobalt/ mitsuko debacle, as I believe this is an important piece of information. Everything else is blocked, but not reflected back to the opponent. So wouldn’t this mean bypass is blocked as well?

That was Version 24, and changed back to Version 33.
Discussion on this case:
[Solved - V33 Update] Reflect buffs can only be bypassed by Ranger Talent, Ninja troops, etc. IF there’s another defensive buff casted on top of it
Tbh I don’t even understand what that v33 even means. It’s should be plain simple. Skill is a skill, talent is a talent, they are both different things. A blue ranger bypassing mits is logical because talents are not covered under mits, but this applying to cobalt makes no sense at all because cobalt’s bypass is from a skill
Updated @jinbatsu comment with all balance changes from V30 onwards
Also added the early version balance changes listed by @sleepyhead just above.
