Healing Pylon
- Cooldown reduced from 14 to 12 seconds.
12/10/2024
Developer Comment: Illari's Captive Sun can be difficult to use effectively due to enemies' ability to dodge its effects. Increasing the radius will improve the consistency and overall value of the ultimate.
Captive Sun
- Explosion radius increased from 8 to 10 meters.

Solar Rifle
- Maximum damage reduced from 75 to 70
- Minimum damage reduced from 25 to 20
8/20/2024
Developer Comment: Illari can deal a lot of damage over the course of a game but may have too much ammo, given that her projectiles are easier to land hits due to their increased projectile size. We're also removing the extra environment collision size on her Captive Sun projectile so that it doesn't accidentally detonate early when firing at nearby walls and such. There is a similar fix to prevent her secondary fire beam from impacting a wall instead of allies near it.
Solar Rifle
- Maximum ammo reduced from 16 to 14.
Captive Sun
- Projectile environment collision size reduced from 0.15 to 0 meters.
7/12/2024
Healing Pylon
- Cooldown increased from 12 to 14 seconds

7/5/2024
Developer Comments: Illari will still see this UI alert but allies generally don't need to as it could occur fairly often and be distracting.
Healing Pylon
- Allies no longer see the "Destroyed" UI when Healing Pylon breaks.
6/20/2024
Developer Comments: Illari's Healing Pylon is intended to be useful for healing her team in relatively safe positions without much focus required, which enables her to either apply pressure with her primary fire or spot heal in bursts from her more limited secondary fire healing beam. To encourage this, it now has improved health and healing output, but is less effective when Illari uses it to heal herself.
Outburst
- Damage increased from 10 to 25.
Healing Pylon
- Healing per projectile increased from 30 to 40.
- Pylon healing is now only half as effective when targeting Illari.

- Primary fire recovery increased from 0.2 to 0.25 seconds.
- Secondary fire heal-per-second increased from 105 to 115.
4/1/2024
Developer Comments: Fixing a longstanding Illari bug, her solar powers are now fully functional.
Captive Sun
- After using Captive Sun, Illari becomes Solar Installed. She moves faster and charges her Solar Rifle Faster, her rifle always charges to full damage power.
- Movement speed bonus 1.2x.
- Attack charge time reduced by 40%.
- Healing recharge bonus 1.2x.
Solar Powered
- New Passive.
- Illari is always Solar Installed when the sun is out.
3/8/2024
Developer Comments: We are adjusting the firing cadence of the Solar Rifle, making it more responsive to use and increasing the damage per second but not the burst damage.
Solar Rifle
- Primary fire recovery time reduced from 0.3 to 0.2 seconds.
- Maximum charge time reduced from 0.7 to 0.65 seconds.
2/20/2024

1/9/2024
Solar Rifle
- Primary fire charge gain is no longer paused by secondary fire, nor channeling Captive Sun.
- Ammo increased from 14 to 16.
Captive Sun
- Now fully refills secondary fire resource and resets overheated status.
- Removed the damage falloff penalty on the Sunstruck explosion.
10/31/2023
Added the Hero-Specific Option:
- Rise During Captive Sun With Ability 3 - Off by default.
10/10/2023
Developer Comments: Illari's burst healing output is still a little too high, so we are lowering the effectiveness of the Solar Rifle secondary fire to bring her more in line with other support heroes.
Solar Rifle
- Secondary fire healing per second decreased from 120 to 105.
8/24/2023
Developer Comments: Illari has had a strong showing since her launch. The following changes are meant to promote a better balance between healing and damage while adding more counterplay against her abilities. We are making the Healing Pylon weaker, as it's often placed out of line-of-sight or at odd angles and isn't being destroyed as often as we expect. Captive Sun ignoring barriers is not immediately intuitive, but we are also reducing the projectile size, so blocking or destroying will require more precision. Finally, the Sunstruck effect lasts too long to reasonably avoid the detonation damage threshold.
Healing Pylon
- Heal decreased from 40 to 30.
- Shields decreased from 75 to 50.
Captive Sun
- Projectile Impact and explosion are now blocked by barriers.
- Projectile size decreased from 1.5 to 0.75 meters.
- Sunstruck duration decreased from 7 to 6 seconds.
8/10/2023
