1. Character Balance Adjustment


* Some characters' balance adjustments are being applied with priority, before the official character balance adjustment that will take place in April.

Lann - Common
Can now briefly dodge enemy attacks with 'Gliding Fury' and 'Absolute Fury'.
  • Gliding Fury
 
Attack Frame
Evasive Frame
Lightning Fury Combo Available
Previous
27 - 45 frames
N/A
After 55 frames
Modified
27 - 45 frames
0 - 50 frames
After 55 frames
  • Absolute Fury

Evasive Frame
Lightning Fury Combo Available
Previous
7 - 30 frames
N/A
After 40 frames
Modified
7 - 30 frames
0 - 50 frames
After 40 frames

Developer's Notes:
The intent of adding evasive frames to Gliding Fury was to retain Lann's bold and lighthearted playstyle.
However, we recognize that excessive overbalance can make your gameplay less tense, so we'll be adjusting Gliding Fury's evasion to a level that allows him to respond to monster attacks.
We'll also be monitoring Twin Swords Lann closely as he's expected to generate a significant damage boost, which may unfortunately result in a nerf in April's character balance.
We also promise to continue to monitor Twin Spears Lann to ensure that he maintains an appropriate difficulty level in that combat experience.

Arisha - Spellsword
  • Increased the damage of the following attacks by 10%:
    > Active: Crystal Burst

  • Active: Crystal Burst's STA recovery amount is increased.
    > When inflicting damage on the enemy by detonating the Mana Crystal: 100 → 120

  • Active: Ether Zone's STA recovery amount is increased.
    > When inflicting damage on the enemy by detonating the Mana Crystal: 100 → 120
    > Each time you inflict damage on the enemy in the damaging mana zone area: 13 → 20

Delia
  • Can now briefly dodge enemy attacks with the final attack of 'Active: Full Moon'.
    > The final spin animation of the active skill, Full Moon,

  • The Full Moon that chains from Guard can now dodge enemy attacks.

  • Changed the 'Vigor' Status Effect as below.
    > The damage increase rate applied on the enemy via Comet skills has been adjusted when Vigor Lv. 1 and Lv. 2 are applied.
    - Lv. 1: 10% → 15%
    - Lv. 2: 15% → 18%
    - Lv. 3: 20% (Same)

    >  Changed the hit conditions that reduce the 'Vigor' effect's level.
    - Lv. 1: Hit 7x → 8x
    - Lv. 2: Hit 5x → 6x
    - Lv. 3: Hit 3x → 4x

  • To further elaborate, we are providing the frames for the action on the chart below.
 * Full Moon Evasive Frame Changes
 
Evasive Frame
Gravity Hop Combo
Eclipse Combo
Previous
N/A
After 55 frames
After 55 frames
Modified
0 - 45 frames
After 40 frames
After 55 frames

Developer's Notes:
We're expecting the evasive properties added to Full Moon after Delia's Guard to give her more flexibility in how the she can react to monsters.
We don't expect this to translate directly to improved character performance (although it should make for better combat and survival).
We'll keep an eye on the play logs so that we can make adjustments in the March character balance.
Also, the Keen effect added to the Ion Thrust seemed to be of marginal benefit so we did not apply a fix.
We will re-evaluate it around the time we implement utility improvements along with Vigor, Zenith, etc.

Miri
  • Changed Active: Ancestral Garb as below.
    - Required SP: 500 → 300
    - Cooldown: 520 sec

  • 'Active: Ancestral Garb' animation can now be skipped via dodging.
    - You can now use Dodge to skip the animation in both solo and multi-player battles.
Developer's Notes:
We're keeping the same usage patterns as the original ultimate format, but reducing the cooldown to make it more useful in longer battles such as Redeemers and Space Time Distortion.
Miri's performance required some buffs, so we felt the decision to leave the cooldowns alone would not overpower her.
We'll keep an eye on the character's performance over time to see if she should be included in the April character balance.
We're also testing the selective use of the transformation appearance that Miri players have been wanting, so we can promise that will be in the April update.

Charon
  • 'Star Fall' can now be chained off the skills below.
    - Arisha (Spellsword) - Active: Temporal Shift
    - Arisha (Spellwhip) - Active: Chaos Symphony
    - Vella (Twin Swords) - Active: Cyclone
Kai
  • 'Prey Drive' can now be chained off the skills below.
    - Arisha (Spellsword) - Active: Temporal Shift
    - Arisha (Spellwhip) - Active: Chaos Symphony
    - Vella (Twin Swords) - Active: Cyclone
Arisha - Spellwhip
  • Increased Active: Chaos Symphony's stun duration on the enemy monster by 1 second.
Vella - Twin Swords
  • Increased Active: Cyclone's stun duration on the enemy monster by 1 second.
Developer's Notes:
As part of the modifications to Charon and Kai's skills above, we've added a 1 second stun for Arisha (Spellwhip) and Vella (Twin Swords) to prevent monsters from attacking them when they're using their suppression moves.
We've retained the duration of the time you are unable to control your character while the characters are using the suppression moves.
The issue where you are unable to combo after Hurk's Active: Terminus and Evie's Active: Reverse Gravity are currently put on hold as there are additional things we need to verify.
There's a problem where using Hurk's Active: Terminus and entering an additional input could extend the animation, creating buggy gameplay that disables combos.
We'll first need to decide on which direction we want to go with the fix.
Also, Evie's Active: Reverse Gravity is not set as her main suppression move so the fix has been delayed.

Some dye parts of the Special Stern Patrician Top will be changed during the Tuesday maintenance on 3/26/2024.
  • The coat lining's color that was influenced by 'Color Part 3' will be changed to be affected by 'Color Part 2' instead.
  • Due to this change, the Special Stern Patrician Top's Color Parts 2 and 3 will revert to outfit's default dye colors.

If you had used an Outfit Dye Ampoule to apply different colors to Color Parts 2 and/or 3 before the maintenance, we will send an appropriate Experimental Outfit Dye Ampoule to your character's mailbox.
  • Example 1: If you have colors applied to both Color Parts 2 and 3 that differ from the default colors, you will receive ampoules for each part.
  • Example 2: If you have a color that is different than the default color applied to Color Part 2, but not to Color Part 3, then you will only receive an ampoule for Color Part 2.

If an outfit cloned via Clone Outfit Crafting Box currently exists as an attached item in the mailbox, the outfit icon will display the colors from before the change. However, after claiming the outfit you will see it in the updated colors.
