Scum’s Party Skin is one of our new Plus Skins! What’s a Plus Skin, you ask?



:heavy_plus_sign: Introducing Plus Skins! :heavy_plus_sign:

We’re adding a new way to power up some of your favorite Heroes! Select Skins have been designated Plus Skins, allowing you to Level Up those Skins past their normal level cap of 3.

If you own one of these Skins, then you can access the new Plus levels. You don’t need to re-earn the Skin or unlock a separate Skin. Skins that have Plus levels will require Heronium to reach levels 4 to 6.

YES, A CARA BUFF her silver needed that…and plus skins? And a kuno skin woot. Oracle nerf kinda sad, extreme mode just got a lot harder. And how did yall choose the plus skins? Just by random? Or by heroes that needed an extra shove?

Seriously !!! Nerf to Oracle, damn why you always nerf a already bad hero.
Oracle need a buff not a nerf, i will never understand how the developper think. Many other hero need nerf before oracle.

So no new modes, no any rework of current content, even new puny 100+ difficulty for raids? Meh… Hooray…

Plus skins. How about return skin tokens to PVP rewards? Because add levels to skins it’s very expensive without that.

Really totally awesome thing in upcoming update it’s Kunoichi’s skin. Maybe I promote her to Ruby like this happen with Beck and her legendary skin.
