Platform links
The official site is the primary navigation source because it owns the current platform buttons and news links. Store pages are useful cross-checks for availability, but they do not usually carry the fastest Season 9 hero, Team-Up, or balance text.
For PC players, Steam and Epic can show different client update timing, while the NetEase launcher is another official route. For console players, PlayStation and Xbox storefronts matter for update downloads and regional store metadata.
When the patch arrives, verify the client version before relying on guide notes. A player on an old build can see different hero behavior, missing map rotation, or delayed storefront metadata. This is especially important for groups that split across console and PC because store propagation and maintenance windows can differ.

Source priority
Use first-party pages for dates, hero roles, official numbers, map statements, and balance values. Use competitive sites for additional context only after the official source is recorded. This distinction prevents a fast news article from overriding a live hero page or patch note.
The current Season 9 source stack is clean: Dev Vision for title and start date, Jubilee page for ability numbers, balance post for global rules and hero changes, official heroes page for roster count, and store pages for platform availability.
If an official page changes after launch, update the ledger first, then update the affected guide. That order leaves a source trail for future edits and prevents a localized page from being refreshed with a value that no longer exists in the English source.
