New Additions

Her Banshee's Wail, according mp1st.com, will make her wail at enemies before her, causing damage while silencing and deafening them for a time period. Her Flickering Visions, on the other hand, can make her fire a distortion bolt of energy which explodes on contact.
Her Lurching Claw will make her dash forward while dishing out damage towards her enemies that she passes through, while her Tearing the Veil Ultimate will make her unleash banshees in a line, dealing heavy damage to targets in the area while slowing them.
Aside from her arrival in the game, the patch update has also brought in new Halloween-themed skills, which can be purchased with either Gems or Pumpkins. These Pumpkins can be earned by either buying other skins or purchasing the Halloween Chest.
According to Dot Esports, players can buy the Omniscient Oracle Zeus, the Crimson Steel Ares, and the Wiseguy Cupid skins for 450 Gems each.
If they bought all of these skins, they will eventually get three Pumpkins, which they can exchange for the Halloween Hysteria Baron Samedi skin, while buying the Screamy Chibi Izanami will cost them six Pumpkins.
They can also buy all of the aforementioned skins, including the Cybershadow Merlin skin, for 2,310 Gems, while completing all of the event quests will unlock a free Beast Seer Artio skin.

However, it will increase the unpause cooldown from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
