13. Hero/ Equipment Balance Improvement

■ Dev's note about hero improvement

In this update, the balance patch for the party effect 'Weapon Skill Regen Speed' has been introduced.

Party effect 'Weapon Skill Regen Speed' only affects weapon skills. Though it applies to individual heroes in Arena, in other content such as Colosseum or Guild Raid, it will only apply to the leader who can use the weapon skill.

Even in Arena where it applies to individual heroes, it still showed less preference than other party buffs. But we also think that players would have an even more unpleasant experience during battle if we increased the 'Weapon Skill Regen Speed' to compensate for this issue since ailment reaching time will be shorter.

In addition, when we performed an internal test, we found that it was difficult to come up with a meaningful effect compared to the improvement. So we decided to add 'Skill Damage' to give a more meaningful effect to party members and give better synergy to this effect.

And from this, we are expecting to see more usage of heroes that have Weapon Skill Regen Speed Party Effect in Arena, and more distinctive combinations in other contents as well.

■ Weapon Skill Regen Speed Party Effect Improvement

  • Future Knight:
    • [Before] Weapon Skill Regen Speed +30%
    • → [After] Weapon Skill Regen Speed +30%, Skill Damage +30%

    • → [After] Weapon Skill Regen Speed +30%, Skill Damage +30%

    • → [After] Weapon Skill Regen Speed +30%, Skill Damage +30%
       
  • Scientist Sohee:
    • [Before] Weapon Skill Regen Speed +30%
    • → [After] Weapon Skill Regen Speed +30%, Skill Damage +30%
       
  • Swindler Magician Dolf:
    • [Before] Weapon Skill Regen Speed +28%
    • → [After] Weapon Skill Regen Speed +28%, Skill Damage +33%

    • → [After] Weapon Skill Regen Speed +8%, Skill Damage +10%
