Hero Siege patch 7.0.9, identified as a hotfix, addresses four specific technical issues. The update corrects how Rabies is counted, fixes the calculations for Serrated Chains and Ignore Resistances, and resolves crashes connected to Taunt for the paladin and Lancer. The official announcement was published on September 2, 2026, but it does not give a separate deployment time.
Four targeted fixes in hotfix 7.0.9
- Rabies is now correctly counted as an ailment.
- The calculation for Serrated Chains has been fixed.
- The calculation for Ignore Resistances has been fixed.
- The crashes targeted by Taunt for the paladin and Lancer have been fixed.
The Rabies correction affects a damage interaction rather than adding a new skill or changing the broader ailment system. According to the announcement, Rabies was not properly integrated into the calculation. In the situations concerned, that prevented damage from being applied correctly across all ailments. Players relying on this effect are therefore the most directly affected by this part of the hotfix.
The 2 calculation fixes concern Serrated Chains and Ignore Resistances. The notes confirm that both calculations contained errors, but they do not publish before-and-after values, percentages or examples. Their precise numerical impact cannot be measured from the announcement alone. The correction may change the result of these mechanics in play, but the post does not establish a wider balance overhaul or provide a new target value for either one.
The remaining fix concerns Taunt-related crashes reported for the paladin and Lancer. Those are the only 2 classes named in the announcement. Its wording confirms that the targeted crashes have been fixed, while leaving open whether every possible Taunt crash scenario is covered or whether other classes were affected.
The hotfix follows a previous update that the post describes as being marked by serious errors, severe enough to make the game unplayable. Version 7.0.9 is narrower: it focuses on four named interactions and does not announce new content, a general system revision or a complete list of broader stability changes.
The official hotfix 7.0.9 post details the scope of the hotfix and its four fixes.
Who is most affected
Players using Rabies, Serrated Chains or Ignore Resistances should see the relevant calculations corrected, although the official notes do not indicate the exact size of any numerical change. Paladin and Lancer players who encountered Taunt-related crashes are the group directly concerned by the stability fix.
For everyone else, the announcement describes a focused maintenance update rather than a new gameplay feature. The fixes are dated, but no separate release schedule or additional Taunt cases are specified.
