VII. Showdown Battle-related Bug

After a new hero is released, the system will prioritize equipping them with high-quality weapon skins that you already own. If there are newer skins of the same quality available, those skins will be equipped first.
Note: If a player logs in after a long absence, a default weapon match will be generated for all heroes released during their absence.

This adjustment is purely cosmetic. No effects that previously referenced weapon, Armor, or Souljade rarity have been changed as a direct result of this adjustment.

III. Other Adjustments

Redesigned the calculation method for the Endurance Threshold. After being [Frozen] by Justina Gu or [Enchanted] by Tessa, any armor or health damage taken during this period will be reduced by the corresponding threshold.

//Dev Note: Previously, when a player was Frozen or Enchanted, enemies could use [Armor Pierce] and other tactics to deal a large amount of damage without breaking the armor threshold and the control effect, which went against the design purpose of the threshold. Therefore, we adjusted the calculation method used for the threshold so that Justina Gu's [Freeze], Tessa's [Enchant], Ziping Yin's [Inspiration Shield], and Hadi's [Aerial Ascent] are now all consistent with one another.

Weapon Adjustments

I. Fistblades

When you have [Cloud Weaver] equipped, the Wild Sweep effect will change when using the charged horizontal strike.

- Reduced the 2nd-stage charged Vertical Strike Damage Multipliers from 2.82*2 to 2.48*2.

Disable info of the Kill Leader: When enabled, the kill leader party will be hidden.

The above settings are only available in the Survival modes.

II. Match History

Showdown Adjustments

I. Season Challenge

Season Challenges are added to the Showdown Pass. Complete season challenges to accumulate [Showdown Challenge Points] and unlock season challenge titles and rich rewards.
There are [General] season challenges and [Nirriti's Ruins] season challenges. Complete specific [Nirriti's Ruins] challenges to unlock additional game content and basic ability boosts in Nirriti's Ruins.

II. Yama's Abyss Adjustments

Yama's Abyss has been adjusted to a stage-advancing mode that only supports solo challenges.
The Yama's Abyss leaderboard will no longer distinguish between solo and trios. The past Yama's Abyss leaderboards will be merged, and only your highest ranking in both leaderboards will be displayed.
Added a Quick Restart button. Select it in the pause menu to immediately restart the challenge for the current stage.
Added a function to quickly enter the next stage after winning. Interact with the portal in the scene after winning to enter the next stage without quitting.

III. Nirriti's Ruins (formerly Yama's Abyss) Adjustments

Nirriti's Ruins now has four difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, Nightscream, and Legend.
- In Hard levels, Showdown Souljades that can be obtained in other Hard stages have a chance of dropping.
- In Nightscream and Legend levels, any Showdown Souljades can drop, and the drop rates are the same for both difficulties.
Your Souljades, Sense levels, and Potentials will no longer take effect in Nirriti's Ruins, but the bonuses from hero levels will still apply. In addition, you can complete Season Achievements to obtain Fire Forge bonuses for Nirriti's Ruins.
New effect - Blessing: For some types of Anima Rings, having 4 grants a certain blessing, and having 12 upgrades the blessing, granting an even more powerful effect.
New feature - Nirriti Codex: There is a chance to encounter the Nirriti Codex when completing area quests. The Nirriti Codex can enhance existing Anima Rings, provide new ones, or make the stage content change.
Added a batch of Anima Rings, including several Secret Anima Rings. The new Secret Anima Rings can be obtained through the Nirriti Codex. The values and qualities of some Anima Rings have been readjusted, and some Anima Rings will no longer be available.
Souljades will no longer be available in Nirriti's Ruins. The effects of some Souljades will appear in the form of Blessings or Anima Rings.
Increased the amount of Dark Tide Coins provided by all sources in Nirriti's Ruins (defeating monsters, opening Cursed Chests, abandoning Anima Rings, etc.), but also increased the price of Carved Jades. In addition, the Rift Dealer's refresh function has been removed, but he will sell three types of temporary enhancement items at the same time.
The two types of Zones, Eradicating the Evil and Money Hungry, will no longer appear in the normal process.
Dark Tide Coins can no longer be obtained by abandoning Anima Rings in default cases.
Increased the Health of the Axe Evil-Ent in Nirriti's Ruins and slightly reduced the Health of the Hammer Evil-Ent, Copperclad Staff, Copperclad Hammer, Depth Fiend, and Nerusa.

IV. Souljade Adjustments

All Ultimate Souljades have become Faded Souljades, losing their original effects. They can no longer be obtained or enhanced. Faded Souljades can be reforged into any other Legendary Souljade from Showdown 1.5 by selecting Reborn in the Equip Souljades page.

  //Dev Note: Considering that heroes' ultimates have relatively less effect on the Showdown battles, we have added some of the Souljades' effects to the heroes' ultimates while removed the Souljades with low pick rate. For compensation, the value of the Ultimates have been enhanced. For more detail, please navigate to [V. Hero Adjustments].
The content of the Ultimate Souljade Choice Gift has been changed to Legendary Souljades from Showdown 1.5.
[Detonating Rounds] will be temporarily unavailable. Players who already own this Souljade will not be affected and can continue to develop them.
[Desperation] has been adjusted to only drop in [Toppled Mountains·Nightscream].
Slightly delayed the timing of the freezing effect when the Frostbite is full in [Yushan Shadows].
The effect of the Souljade Attribute [Scorching] has been changed. Now, after countering, your next melee attack will deal extra blaze damage.
The damage multiplier of the [Burn] inflicted by blazes has been increased from 0.11 to 0.25.
Optimized the performance of the damage numbers that pop up when dealing Elemental damage while you have Souljades with Elemental Attributes equipped.

V. Hero Adjustments

Reduced how far some heroes move backwards when using Defuse·Solve, making it easier for them to use. (Affected heroes: Viper Ning, Valda Cui, Kurumi and Temulch)

Viper Ning
During her ultimate [Moonbane Control: Showdown], Viper Ning can move freely and gain an additional 70% damage reduction.

//Dev Note: Currently, the experience in the Doom Domain is too similar to regular levels, causing Doom Speedrun to overlap with Yama's Abyss. Additionally, the high difficulty has led to negative matchmaking experiences. Therefore, we've introduced the new and unique Auspicious Omens to enhance the fun and playability of Doom Domain. We look forward to seeing more diverse playstyles with these Auspicious Omens.

VII. Feature Adjustments
