Character

Developer Commentary

Seonin has received much attention and love from many Adventurers since his release, and has been used in various content.

  

Despite his powerful PvE capabilities, some Adventurers may have felt disappointed by his relatively low damage output in PvP.

  

Seonin is designed to support the team and play a strategic role on various battlefields rather than simply dealing high damage.
With this update, we aimed to further enhance this style and the unique role Seonin plays in combat.

  

In particular, we have improved the effect of Elements: Generate to make Seonin even more appealing in team play,
and changed Enlightened Haze to activate instantly upon use for more intuitive and responsive controls.

Developer Commentary

Lancer is a class that withstands enemy attacks and controls the battlefield over a large area.

  

We emphasized these strengths by improving her mobility with an increased number of charges for Radiant Burst,
while also adding skill enhancements to Rejection and Holy Thrust for significantly higher burst damage when comboed with other skills in this update.

  

Additionally, Divine Wrath has replaced Sword of Judgment as a Succession Skill, further enhancing Lancer’s control over the battlefield.

Developer Commentary

Hwaryeong's unique combat style consists of graceful, dance-like movements.
However, after the recent change to Twirling Rhapsody, we noticed that this combat style of hers had weakened.

  

With this update, we have increased the skill charges for Twirling Rhapsody and increased the attack speed of other key skills, bringing back her swift and powerful style of combat.
Additionally, we have increased her survivability by increasing the Damage from Adventurers Reduction effect during Accumulate by 5%.

Developer Commentary

Titan excels in prolonged battles, utilizing potent HP increases and continuous recovery from Therianthropy.

  

However, we discovered an issue where the HP Recovery and Recovery from Evasion Attack of Fearsome Tyrant were being triggered repeatedly, even though they were intended to activate only once.
As Adventurers could receive more Recovery than intended out of combat from this, we have adjusted the Recovery to apply only once.

  

Additionally, when Raging Thunder was used together with Battle Sense, it could provide up to 40% Damage Reduction, making Titan excessively strong both offensively and defensively.
To resolve this, we have adjusted its MP cost and effects, improved the frequency of Grab Immunity and Decrease Attack Speed Immunity, and removed the Total Damage Reduction.
 
Furthermore, we have slightly decreased the burst damage, which was relatively high compared to other classes.



Raging Thunder

 

- Changed the MP cost of Therianthropy's effect. (All MP → 100 MP)

- Removed the "Total Damage from Adventurers -20% for 1.5 sec during the skill" effect gained by consuming MP during Therianthropy.

 


 

Funeral Blast (Succession Skill)

 

- Decreased PvP damage.
・Lv 1: 660% → 594% x2 (Max 2 hits)
・Lv 10: 858% → 772.2% x2 (Max 2 hits)

 


 

Satiated Predator (Rabam Skill)

 

- Decreased PvP damage.
・Lv 1: 1,556% → 1,400.4% x2 (Max 2 hits)
・Lv 10: 1,867.2% → 1,680.48% x2 (Max 2 hits)

 


 

Starved Beast (Rabam Skill)

 

- Decreased PvP damage.
・Lv 1: 1,571% → 1,413.9% x4
・Lv 10: 1,885.2% → 1,696.68% x4

- Increased the Damage Multiplier against World Bosses. (124.12% → 126.11%)

 


 

Developer Commentary

Kunoichi, Sura, and Kurenai are classes that specialize in ambushing enemies using Stealth, and we believe many Adventurers enjoy this combat style.

  

However, we have recently concluded that Stealth has become overly powerful, so we have adjusted its cooldowns.

  

Among these classes, Kunoichi also possesses a powerful Bleed effect. As overall character HP has increased, we found that the Bleed damage, which scales with HP, has become higher than intended.
To address this issue, we have changed the Bleed effect to fixed damage instead of damage scaled with Max HP.





Smokescreen

 

- Increased Cooldown (14 sec → 17 sec).
- Changed to an instant activation skill.

 


 

Art of the Ninja (Passive Skill)

Upcoming Updates

Developer Commentary

Currently, some skills and effects deal damage based on Max HP.
This type of damage has become excessively powerful due to the overall increase in characters' Max HP.

 

To maintain stable combat balance, we plan to change all damage values based on Max HP to fixed damage in future updates.

 

We ask for Adventurers’ understanding and will continue to work toward a balanced gameplay experience.



 

- With the addition of Adventuring Fervor along with the revamped Auto-Hunt system during the update maintenance on Sep 16 (Tue), Hot Times and all items containing Hot Times, such as Power Boost Chests, will be removed.
