Adjusted Skill Damage
Ultimate Critical Rate reduced
Ultimate cooldown increased
Reduced Skill 1 damage, standardized Ultimate effects
"Garo's recent performance in the Farm Lane has been too good, as the range and early-game damage from her Skill 1 make it easy for her to gain an advantage during the laning stage. As such, we've reduced the skill's damage. At the same time, we've also standardized the effects of using and ending her Ultimate to make things easier to understand."
Casting speed of Skill 2 increases with Attack Speed.
"A fixed casting time made it increasingly dangerous for Garo to use this skill in the late game. Now, her Skill 2's casting speed increases with her Attack Speed."
Reduced the extra damage ratio to shields.
"Garo's passive gives her a significant advantage when facing opponents with shields. We've reduced this advantage to balance her strength against different opponents while also improving the experience for shielded heroes when facing Garo."

Background Story
“Thanks to Madinat Erudit's blessing we shall know peace.”
Garo hails from the family in charge of managing the collection of books kept in Madinat Erudit. As the most famous center of learning in Alsahraa, this place was home to texts containing deep knowledge, and only selected scholars were allowed in to study. Garo transcribed diligently and practiced archery, firm in her belief that protecting books was akin to protecting civilization. When the feralis raided, killing her family and destroying Madinat Erudit's ancient texts, she was left to wander in search of the texts scattered by the ferali invasion. As she did, the truth was soon revealed...

Through generations of familial friendship, Garo, the Castellan of Madinat Erudit, and Feyd, the Prince of Jade City, have known each other since childhood, when they studied together in the caves of Madinat Erudit and became friends and comrades.
They studied together as children in Madinat Erudit. Today, in order to face the ferali threat sweeping across the desert, they united to form the Alsahraa Alliance and fight to restore glory to the lost sandlands.
The young man who stepped out from a fresco is always looking around with his clear and bright eyes. Just as the stories he records on his travels, he is beloved by all.
In Madinat Erudit, Garo helped Fatih find a great number of useful tomes. These would prove to be of great assistance to him when he laid siege to Asitane.
Haya intends to resurrect Diqun the Dark Master, which would bring destruction upon Alsahraa, so she must be stopped. With the Alsahraa Butterfly in her possession, she must be behind the disaster at Madinat Erudit.
