Wooden planar is a total powercreep of the star arena, and salsoto in general too (although the latter has a lower threshold for ksh, but these are trifles). Well, as they say Rip, press F, etc. Time to go back to the mines 😉
There is a typo in the second part of the effect and by additional damage does it mean crit, or is it something else?
P.S. I only found this news by accident through Google. Or is it too early for publication?)
It seems to me that Additional damage is something like attacks from the effect of the ult of Zaryanka or GG Harmony
