Dev Note: “Revenant has seen a sharp decline in his competitive viability, so we aimed to revitalize him through various adjustments in this Skirmisher split. The enhancements to his Ultimate now provide him with better initial activation power, especially in light of this season’s new time-to-kill dynamics. Additionally, the cooldown and windup time for Shadow Pounce have been decreased, encouraging players to engage rather than retreat with this ability.”

Wraith

Her original third-person running animation has been reinstated.
Into the Void: Cooldown reduced to 20 seconds (previously 25 seconds).
Tactical activation time decreased to 0.8 seconds (formerly 1.25 seconds).

Tactical Cooldown now reduced to 15 seconds (was 20 seconds).

Dev Note: “Wraith is undergoing a series of tweaks to return her to her former strength. Her new activation speed improves her ability to react and aggressively engage, especially in conjunction with the newly introduced Skirmisher perk. The freedom to control her exit from phase allows for quicker re-engagement in fights, and adjustments to her Ultimate enhance her rotational flexibility.”
