Fellowship Season 3 Part 3 leans hard into tank reworks

Fellowship’s Early Access Season 3 Part 3 patch notes were published on June 21, 2026, and this section focused on hero tuning. Helena, Meiko, Xavian, and Mara each received a spread of class changes, talent swaps, and legendary item updates, with tanks getting the heaviest pass.

Patch Notes

The broadest change here was the tank rework. Helena, Meiko, and Xavian all saw survivability and threat changes, while Mara leaned further into poison, bleed, and combo-point pressure.

• PPM At-start-of-Dungeon adjustment
  We have updated the logic for “Procs Per Minute” (PPM) in the game, so that all such effects more reliably will trigger on the first pull of a Dungeon.

  The Armor and Health Scaling of heroes have been adjusted to reduce the difference in general survivability between Cloth Casters and Mail Melee heroes. More Details can be found in each of the Heroes’ patch sections.
