Paladins OB49 Patch Notes
Let’s just start from the newest champion, which for you’re all probably most excited for.
New Champion: Willo, of the Summer Court
Willo owns some really cool abilities, which as a damage champion is going to surely be painful. Willo is going to turn every single game into a fairy tale. Let’s see what Willo’s abilities are.
LMB
- Wand of Overgrowth
- Fire a blast of fae energy and deal 500 damage every 0.75 seconds.
RMB
- Dead Zone

Willo’s Legendary Cards

Watching at Willo’s loadout cards, it seems like he’s really going to deal some damage.
New Map: Brightmarsh
As we said above, it’s not just that. The OB49 patch also adds a new map, Brightmarsh. You can see the map on the image below:
We’re talking about a Siege Map. It is really colorful with really interesting new spaces, making the map really unique. It seems that the Paladins OB49 patch focuses a lot on new content by adding a new champion and new map. Hi-Rez will surely have to make some balance changes after adding this much of a new content.
As in like every other patch, the OB49 patch will also add some new item skins and chests, including some balancing on the rest of the champions. In this patch, Bomb King, Barik, Buck, Maeve, Cassie, Makoa, Ruckus, Seris and Sha Lin are being balanced all over again.
Knowing that the patch is already live, make sure you hop in Paladins and enjoy the new content together with Willow, the new champion that is about to take the first position amongst the damage dealers.
