V Rising Patch 1.1.13.0 Adds Balance Changes and Combat Fixes

by Ali Haider

Stunlock Studios has released the full notes for V Rising Patch 1.1.13.0, focusing heavily on combat balancing, spell adjustments, and bug fixes. Several abilities across PvP and PvE have been reworked to improve counterplay, reduce frustrating interactions, and encourage more build diversity.

The patch also introduces changes to Corrupted Blood mechanics, improves several underused veil abilities, and tweaks a large number of spells and ultimate abilities. A few of the changes are pretty substantial for competitive players, especially those relying on mobility-heavy or burst-focused builds.
