The Astrid and Lucas rework gives Hero Wars’ hunting duo a major base-kit upgrade alongside two brand-new Ascension Skills. In Rage form, Lucas now hits harder and deals AoE damage, and any enemies carrying Hunter’s Mark can all be stunned by his attacks — not just his main target. Rampant Nature now buffs both heroes at once, including while Lucas is raging, and Hunter’s Mark no longer counts as a negative effect, so it can’t be blocked or cleansed by Sebastian. Crucially, Astrid’s Mark now matches the one used by Adam, opening up real synergy between Hunters. The two new Ascension Skills push this further: Hardened Temper (Ascension II) grants Astrid damage resistance during Rampant Nature — spreading to every Hunter on the team at max grade — while The Thrill of the Hunt (Ascension V) starts Astrid with bonus Rage and feeds her more whenever a Hunter damages a marked enemy.
