Day 3 of the Foreseer's Contract event has brought forward a new mini-game of sorts: the Nemesis Assassin Event. Get together with your allies and team up against a marked hero on the enemy team, fulfilling yet another contract. Complete contracts to earn rewards, and to cross names of of your list. There are 5 names on Phantom Assassin's list, but how many on yours?


The latest major update to hit the client will see a new type of game altogether added to Unranked game modes. If a player in the game owns the new Phantom Assassin Arcana - The Manifold Paradox- then a contract will be taken out on one of the enemy players. Victory is achieved when Phantom Assassin directly kills the contracted hero first, but will fail the contract if the reverse happens.

Should these conditions be met and the Phantom Assassin wins the game, the player will be rewarded with a Trophy and have a chance to trigger a bundle of item drops for their team, although the nature of these items is not yet known.

It seems as though this may be the last of the announcements for this event, or at least until the Nemesis Assassin Event ends, so no further major alterations will be made to the game in terms of balance, which was perhaps suspected due to how recently the last balance patch occured. It is still possible, however, that plans are revealed for Oracle items, but another Arcana so soon is very unlikely.
