Overwatch Hotfix Buffs Anran, Emre & Mizuki in Latest Balance Pass
-

Overwatch has rolled out another hotfix for Season 1: Conquest, bringing targeted buffs to Anran, Emre, and Mizuki as Blizzard continues fine-tuning its newest hero lineup. Anran’s survivability gets a boost with Inferno Rush cooldown reduced from 8.5 to 8 seconds, while Dancing Blaze now allows greater movement distance — a welcome change for the high-risk, high-damage DPS hero.
Emre’s Synthetic Burst Rifle damage increases from 20 to 22 per shot, pushing his mid-range pressure closer to full-auto hitscan standards. Meanwhile, Support hero Mizuki sees his ultimate, Kekkai Sanctuary, extended from 6 to 7 seconds, improving teamfight value. With a midseason patch expected around mid-March, this hotfix signals Blizzard’s ongoing effort to stabilize the early Season 1 meta without introducing sweeping changes.
