February 2026 Balance Changes: Golden Knight and Lumberjack Synergies
Updated 2026-02-15· Patch Season 80Balance, Speed
Season 80 launched on February 2, 2026, with an emphasis on reworking Golden Knight's dash logic and boosting the Lumberjack's rage aura on death.
Golden Knight Dash Distance Cut
Golden Knight's chaining dash is trimmed by 0.5 tiles, allowing defenders to cleanly sever his dash sequence by spacing swarms.
This dash distance nerf severely limits his offensive capability. Rushing the skill blindly at the bridge often leads to failed dashes and wasted resources. Players must now utilize Tornado to pull swarms tightly for a full chain.
Lumberjack Rage Scaling
Lumberjack's death rage duration is increased by 1.0s, favoring highly aggressive setups like Lumber-Loon or E-Barb bridgespam.
