18. Hero/ Equipment balance and bug revision


■ Developer's note:
In this update, we have improved the "Heal" ability and revised the stats of some Heroes to improve balance.

Heal
Each time the maximum level is expanded, the increase in Heal is lower than the HP increase, so the efficiency of the ability itself is reduced.
As a result, the older the hero, the lower the ability to recover, contrary to the initial plan.
To address this problem, following the recent update where Heal and physical strength were the same, the healing ability has been improved to a level suitable for each hero.

Other heroes
Garam and Orca's exclusive weapon skill has been improved to hit the target from a distance.
Improved the size of Parvati's weapons skill projectiles to reduce missed situations.
Increased Kanna's physical strength to increase her viability in the Arena.

Through user data analysis, we will periodically check the utilization of heroes and continuously improve them.


■ Skill damage party effect improvement

  • The basic stat of some heroes increases. (Based on Knowledge 5 stars, Lv.1)
    • Miya - Basic Heal: 1,230 (+332)
    • Garam - Basic Heal: 1,120 (+392)
    • Gabriel - Basic Heal: 1,415 (+283)
    • Eleanor - Basic Heal: 1,550 (+108)
    • Loraine - Basic Heal: 1,182 (+296)
    • Favi - Basic Heal: 1,100 (+275)
    • Aoba - Basic Heal: 1,045 (+261)
    • Kanna - Basic HP: 980 (+98)

■ Developer's Note

Mirror Accessories
Many Guardians continued to convey their opinion that mirror accessories' options are difficult to match compared to other accessories.
We decided that there was a need to mitigate the excessively high consumption of mirror accessories compared to the number of Option Change Stones consumed by other accessories.
As a result, we have adjusted the minimum number of defense options and raised the minimum number of sub-options.

Elphaba's Smile Shield
Elphaba's Smile Shield is designed to be used strategically based on high weapon skill charging speed and high skill damage, instead of lower defense.
However, unlike our initial planning, the strength level is too low compared to other shields, so it is rarely used now. Furthermore, there seems to be a tendency whereby tank heroes only use specific shields.
Therefore, we have improved the strength of Elphaba's Shield so that it can keep being useful in certain situations without being too disadvantageous to other shields.

Martyr Mirror Necklace

  • Sub-option's lowest number increases.
    • Atk Decrease / Def Decrease / Injury Damage / Doom Damage Negated: 40% > 60%
  • Mirror Necklace of Riches
  • Ruby Mirror Ring
  • Mirror Earring of Worship
  • Mirror Earring of Patience
  • Mirror Earring of Nobility
  • Mirror Earring of Faith
     
  • Basic Def Increase
    • Maximum 26 > 27
      ※ For example, if it was the previous maximum defense value, it will be the changed maximum defense value even after the update.
       
  • Basic Atk minimum option has changed.
    • Minimum 16 > 22
       
  • Sub-option minimum has changed.
    • HP: 3% > 6%
    • Def: 3% > 5%
    • Damage Reduction: 10 > 20
    • Skill damage: 3% > 10%
    • Weapon Skill Regen Speed: 2% > 6%
    • HP recovery on enemy kill: 0.5% > 1.0%
    • Shield generation on battle start: 1% > 2.5%
    • Heal: 5% > 10%
      ※ Sub-options for existing accessories are retained, and options no longer appear below the minimum number when changed.
       
  • Elphaba's Smile Shield
  • Basic def Increase
    • Minimum 30 > 32
    • Maximum 34 > 37
