■ Great Desert High Difficulty Level "Torme" added

Developer's Comments:
The Great Desert Hystria were monsters that some adventurers found difficult to defeat even after increasing their CP, while others had no strong monsters to face at all, resigning to fight these monsters instead.
To address this, we have tightened the CP gap between monsters and added a higher difficulty level so that more adventurers can better enjoy the Great Desert.

- A new difficulty level, "Great Desert: Torme" has been added.

- You must complete the newly added story "Aal's Test" to enter "Great Desert: Torme".
※ "Aal's Test" Story will be available after completing the Black Spirit Awakening Quest and receiving the title "Guardian of the Desert" after defeating Aakman.

- The title "Guardian of the Desert" can be obtained by defeating a certain number of Aakmans.
- In "Great Desert: Torme," the recommended CP for monsters and temples will increase relative to "Great Desert: Imur," and the rewards that can be obtained will increase.
※ Temple of Ohm, Ancient Kutum, the "Where the Stars Take You" missions, Souad Garden, Laytenn, and Tukar Laytenn are not affected by difficulty level.
※ Great Desert: Imur's Temples and Great Temples will have the same recommended CP as the existing Great Desert.
※ Great Desert Difficulty cannot be changed while inside the Great Desert.

■ Eclipse

Developer's Comments:
Eclipse was introduced in the last update, and is a class whose combat style was meant to quickly approach the enemy and overwhelm them with non-stop attacks.

We have been watching her closely since the onset of her adventure, and after analyzing her performance, we found that her damage and ability to conistently maintain it was not complementary to her high speed.

First, we have improved her combat ability by improving her active evasion by way of the passive skill [Star Heart].
In addition, her power has been increased by increasing the damage of [Royal Fencing: Riposte] and [Royal Fencing: Lunge], along with improved mobility by allowing certain skills to connect smoothly to running immediately after use.

As she is the most recent class to join the adventure, we will continue to monitor and improve her so that she harmonizes with existing classes, while also continuing to listen to feedback from our adventurers.

▷ Star Heart
- Removed "10% chance to evade enemy’s attack when hit".
- Added the effect of "Evasion applied when preparing next skill" to [Star's Breath]. (Not applied when entering Arena).

▷ Royal Fencing: Lunge
- Fixes have been made so that [Royal Fencing: Lunge] can be used continuously.
- Added "Reduce remaining cooldown by 3 sec on hit".
- Skill's PvE, PvP damage have been adjusted.
· PvE
· Lv 1: 550% x 4 → 610% x 4
· Lv 10: 715% x 4 → 793% x 4

· PvP
· Lv 1: 330% x 4 → 408.7% x 4
· Lv 10: 429% x 4 → 531.3% x 4

 

▷ Royal Fencing: Riposte
- Skill's attack range has increased.
- Skill's PvE and PvP damage has been adjusted.
· PvE
· Lv 1: 410% Max 3 hits → 460% Max 3 hits
· Lv 10: 533% Max 3 hits → 598% Max 3 hits

 

· PvP
· Lv 1: 205% Max 3 hits → 253% Max 3 hits
· Lv 10: 266.5% Max 3 hits → 328.9% Max 3 hits

 

▷ Quillion Release
It has been improved so that "Super Armor" is applied when using the skill.

 

▷ Royal Fencing: Sweep
Skill's attack range has increased.

 

▷ Star Shatter
- [Flow: Star Memory] has been changed to [Flow: Star Chain].
▶ Flow: Star Chain
· 150% of [Flow: Star Shatter] damage applied
· Max 6 hits
· Knockdown on hit

- It has been improved so that [Remise], [Meteor Fleche], [Royal Fencing: Lunge] can be smoothly linked to Running.
- Fixed the issue where a skill would not activate when using [Quillion Release].

 

■ Destroyer

The invincibility effect given to Destroyer in a recent update felt illogical in the arena and has been adjusted, but we are making up for this by improving his basic combat abilities.

First, the passive skill [Overheat] will now reduce damage from adventurers and increase damage to monsters to enhance hunting efficiency and survivability in the field.

In addition, the damage of his main skill, [Flame Buster] has been greatly increased to better anticipate enemy actions.
As a melee character, we expect that he will be better able to show off his ferocious side by raising his survivability and attack performance.

▷ Overheat
- "Decrease PvP Damage Received by 20%" has been added.
- "Increase Damage against monsters by 15%" has been added.

 

▷ Hellraiser
- "Super Armor" has been improved to "Invincible while jumping" and "Super Armor while attacking" when using skill.
- Combo into [To the Grave] to increase [To the Grave] skill damage by 20%

 

▷ Flame Buster
- Skill's PvE, PvP damage have been adjusted.
· PvE
· Lv 1: 526.5% x 2 → 710.77% x 2
· Lv 10: 745.8% x 2 → 1006.93% x 2

 

· PvP
· Lv 1: 473.8% x 2 → 639.69% x 2
· Lv 10: 671.2% x 2 → 906.23% x 2

 

■ Void Knight

Developer's Comment:
Void Knight was a class suited well for hit-and-run tactics, given her solid mobility.
However, her moves and attacks did not connect very naturally, so it became difficult to attack without enough movement ability.
As a result, her attack patterns were rather easily detectable by the enemy, even when employing these hit-and-run tactics.

In this update, we focused on Void Knight's agility and attack performance,
as well as improving her melee combat ability.

[Flow: Eradicate] has been newly added to [Eclipse], the core skill of this improvement, so you can attack enemies while moving, with a ""Super Armor"" effect being applied while using the skill.

On the other hand, [Dark Mist] has had its Super Armor effect removed in Arena, so you can focus more on melee combat rather than escaping.

Now, Void Knight will be able to more freely choose when to stay in the thick of battle or to attack and quickly retreat, and control the pace of the fight.

▷ Eclipse
- "Super Armor" while using the skill has been changed so that it can be applied in Arena.
- [Reduce Cooldown] has been changed to [Flow: Eradicate].

 

▶ [Flow: Eradicate]
· 110% of [Eclipse] skill damage applied
· Recover 12 MP on hit
· Max 4 hits
· "Super Armor" when using skill
· Knock back on hit

 

▷ Dark Mist
- Fixes have been made so that [Dark Mist] can be used smoothly after using Evasion.
- It has been changed so that "Super Armor in the arena" has moved to [Eclipse] and the invincible effect is not applied in Arena when casting.

 

■ Huntress
▷ Blessing of the Wind
- Extra hit damage has increased 10%.
ㆍThe 20% damage of [Razor Wind], [Flurry of Arrows], [Blasting Gust], [Spinning Shot], and [Descending Current] has changed to 30%.
- Evasion has changed and distance has increased.

 

■ Windwalker
▷ Guidance of Wind
- Extra Critical Hit Damage has increased 10%. (20% to 30%).

 

▷ Wind Slicer
- Increase distance of [Flow: Additional Attack].
