Gods
The Season of Celebration brought some really SPICY changes to several gods and the team were ready to react as necessary. The shifts of strength have been noticeable but not drastic. The nerfs to several of the gods in this pass are to bring them more in line without drastically reducing their potential.
Recipes have been a welcome addition to the game and while Bountiful Bao and Golden Gooseberries have been consumed voraciously, they are about the strength level we would expect. The other Recipes will be visited in the main patch for extra garnish however the outlier lies with He Bo and his desire for Bao.
Finally Martichoras and Sun Wukong remain as two gods that were still outliers in their strength and are getting further nerfs to tone them down a tad more.
