Patch 0.14 From the Stands
From the Stands, version 0.14, is dated 27 Oct 2026. Spectating turns on. The cap is ten viewers. The Arena Herald lists rated games, unrated games and duels. Tab or a click on a portrait follows a player. Shift+Tab steps back. Viewers talk to each other. Players do not see that chat. Viewers can see both teams, including stealth. Nagrand also gains stands in this build, and the notes say the stands do not change line of sight or the fight itself.
The same build tunes Feral, Mage and Warrior. I am not expanding those tunings into numbers the one-line summary does not carry. Hotfix 0.14.1, Rage Earned, changes rage: it comes from white hits and from damage taken, and spell damage no longer refunds rage. Spell pushback arrives. Die by the Sword stops being an immunity and becomes more dodge and less damage taken. The warrior page keeps the 40 percent Mortal Wounds figure and the +50 percent dodge / −20 percent damage wording from that hotfix.
A later hotfix also lets spectators jump and show chat bubbles, and 0.16 lets them see the followed player’s bar. Those lines live on the spectating guide so this page stays the launch note.
