Players will also get the chance to explore two new neutral camp locations. The Balance of Power update is bringing a new rune, dubbed "Arcane Rune." It will help players by lowering down spell cooldowns and it will also cut down mana costs for 50 seconds.

Along with this, players will be getting some more interesting features in the form of Dragon Lance, which widens the attack reach of ranged heroes and Faerie Fire, which increases health when consumed. To boost the manna and regenerate health, Aether Lens is an additional feature that helps players to gain magic resistance.
