Patch History
Balanced early and late game strength, and made it harder to repeatedly use enhanced Basic Attacks
"The mechanism that let Lam's enhanced Basic Attack reduce Skill 2's cooldown by a fixed amount allowed Lam to spam his Skill 2 and enhanced Basic Attack in the late game. This made it difficult for opponents to counter him, a situation that we hope to improve with these adjustments. At the same time, we have moderately increased the base effects of his skills to enhance the experience for newer players."

Background Story

“Sneaking in the darkness, striding in the light...”
The man who now goes by the code name Lam was exiled by his people for his inauspicious birth and spurned by his peers for possessing unnatural abilities. He was left to die in the rubble of a battlefield but was found by Cao Cao, who took him in and trained him as one of his covert assassins. Lam embraced the lonely life of a hunter in the darkness, if only to survive yet another day. That would all change when he was sent on a mission to eliminate Little Lute, a girl who appeared to him so utterly warm-hearted and kind that shattered his beliefs and led him to abandon his past once and for all. Now, the ruthless assassin is only willing to get his hands dirty for those he deems worthy.

Character Relationships
To Lam, the killer stranded on a deserted island, the unsuspecting warmth and innocence of his target, Cai Yan, was like a light in the darkness.
Occasionally, he would go on missions with this pale man, but that's where the line was drawn. Some people are just not meant to be friends, especially when there's no need.
The one-eyed man with the big sword is considered a decent person in Wei, and Lam once heard him talking about a "hibiscus" incident.
