Things just got more challenging as auto-battler title Dota Underlords has added ranked play for its fast-paced game mode Knockout.
Similar to its other game modes, solo and duos, Knockout now gives players a choice between a relaxed casual mode or a more demanding ranked mode.
Do note that the Knockout ranking is independent from the player’s Standard rank, so all players begin from Upstart I.
- The Outlanders Update adds a new game mode and new alliance to Dota Underlords
- Dota Underlords update turns Tier 5 units into new ‘Ace’ heroes
Other changes have been implemented in the game aside from the usual bug fixes:
- The Bloodbound-Brute-Mage unit Ogre Magi is now a Draft Tier 2 unit from Tier 1.
- Bloodseeker’s Bloodrage ability now heals itself if any enemy unit dies adjacent to it.
- The Demon alliance’s 50% bonus pure damage “now counts all allied demons, both alive and dead, as well as all allied demons summoned”.
