## Dungeon Stalkers Regular Season 1 Update Notes

Dungeon Stalkers - Oneunivers

Hello, Stalkers!
This is the Dungeon Stalkers Dev Team.

Dungeon Stalkers Regular Season 1 has begun!
Our game has undergone many changes through numerous beta tests and the Early Access period.
We've put in countless efforts to prepare for the Regular Season,
and we firmly believe that these changes will meet the expectations
of the many Stalkers who have waited for the new season.

Now, let's officially introduce the details of this Season 1's first update below.
We have prepared various changes for the new season, including new elements and modifications to existing ones.
Please check the update details below for more information.

1. New Stalker - Kazimorde

New Stalker Kazimorde joins the battlefield!
Kazimorde was once a warrior known by the nickname 'Flash Hawk.'
His spirited and swift combat style, befitting his epithet, boasts enough power to overwhelm enemies in the dungeon.

Q Skill - Flash Strike
- Dashes 4m forward, dealing 100% of Attack Power as slashing damage.
E Skill - Wing Slash
- Deals 30% of Attack Power as slashing damage 4 times. Grants immunity to stagger while casting.
C Skill - Scorch
- Enchants your weapon with fire for 15 seconds. Hitting an enemy deals an additional 20% of Physical Damage as Magic Damage and inflicts the Burn status.
Right-click - Parry
- Parries enemy attacks with your weapon. Successfully parrying blocks the enemy's attack and reduces the cooldown of some skills. Flash Strike and Wing Slash cooldowns are reduced by 3.8 seconds each, and Scorch by 6.8 seconds.
Mana Stone (V Skill) - Blade Storm
- Unleashes the power of the Mana Stone, rapidly attacking forward 12 times, dealing 80% Physical Damage with each hit. The last 2 hits deal 100% Physical Damage.
- You can move slowly while casting, but cannot move during the final two hits.
- Grants immunity to stagger while casting.

Kazimorde specializes in swift, dual one-handed sword attacks that cut through enemies.
His skill set is also specialized in relentlessly striking down foes in front of him.
By chaining skills, basic attacks, and parries, he can crush any enemy in his path.
Kazimorde's abilities, specialized for direct combat, ensure that like a 'hawk,' he never misses his prey once caught and is ready to hunt endlessly with sharp slashes.

2. New Dungeon - Mansion of Desire

In Season 1's first update, you will embark on a new adventure in the new dungeon, 'Mansion of Desire.'
The Mansion of Desire is a new dungeon area added in Season 1, featuring elements that differ from existing dungeons.
Specifically, it's a dungeon where each divided floor is recognized as a separate area.
Unlike previous dungeons where players typically moved up and down freely,
the Mansion of Desire is clearly divided into floors, and movement to other floors is only possible through certain open areas, such as the 'Mansion Lobby.'

You can clearly check which floor and dungeon you are located on using the map function (M key)
by scrolling with your mouse.
You must explore the dungeon and acquire the treasures of the new boss, 'Mimic Queen,' before she awakens.
(* The Mimic Queen will be available in Season 1's second update, coming soon.)

3. New System - Scavenger Contract

'Asion' and 'Tania,' the so-called 'Scavengers' are an independent group that operates solely within the dungeons, belonging to neither faction.
They do not engage in direct combat but mysteriously appear in the ruins after battles,
quietly moving to achieve their own objectives.

The Scavenger Contract System is a new competitive-exclusive system, acting as a 'recovery specialist group' that retrieves items from the remains of Stalkers who have died in battle.

Before entering Competitive mode (Solo and 3-player mode), you can pay a certain amount to enter into a 'contract' with the Scavengers.
Based on the 'equipment the Stalker was wearing when entering the dungeon,' the Scavengers will recover the equipped items after a certain period if the player dies. However, only 'equipment remaining on the contractor's corpse at the moment the dungeon round ends (when all players have exited or died in the dungeon)' is eligible for recovery.
Equipment collected by other Stalkers is not included, so caution is advised. Nevertheless, the ability to recover your hard-earned equipment in case of an emergency offers a significant advantage.

Users who purchase the Prime Account Upgrade Pass will have the recovery time for Scavenger Contracts reduced. Additionally, users with an active Membership will receive a discount on the fee for Scavenger Contracts.

4. New System - Fame Point Shop

As the Pre-Season concludes, each player will receive Fame Points commensurate with their playtime.
Fame Points are awarded based on the total combined levels of your Stalkers. You can spend these acquired Fame Points
at the Fame Shop to purchase various cosmetic items, including costumes and profile customization options.

5. New System - Profile Customization

Show off your individuality with the new Profile Customization system!
Acquire titles through achievements you've unlocked, along with icons and banners obtainable through various means.
You can proudly display your in-game record to other users through your personalized profile screen!

Customized profiles can also be viewed on end cards after escaping the dungeon.

6. New Costume Bundles

New outfits have arrived for the new season!

New Legendary Skin: Nave - Champion of Aios
- Radiate an unrivaled presence in the dungeon with this new Legendary skin!
Swimsuit Theme Skin: Tropical Burning Series
- Enjoy a tropical getaway even in the dungeon with the latest resort style, flown in from the emerald beaches of a distant continent!

Star Shadow Bundle
- New Legendary Skin: Nave - Champion of Aios
- New Emote: Nave - Ascension
- Special Profile Icon: Star Shadow
- Special Profile Banner: Star Shadow
  * Components of this bundle can be purchased individually.

Tropical Burning Series Bundle

- Solar Tropical Bundle - Swimsuit skins for Baran, and Clad
- * The Tropical Series bundles are divided into two.
- * Tropical Series costumes are not subject to part destruction by durability.
- * Components of these bundles can be purchased individually.

7. New Character Customization - Finisher Motions

You can now change your Finisher in Quick Match and Competitive (3-player mode)!
The Finisher system allows you to deliver a final blow to a downed enemy team member, instantly eliminating them before they can be revived.
In addition to existing Stalker-specific Finishers, new Finisher motions will be available.
Decorate your triumphant moments by delivering the final blow to your enemies after winning intense battles!

8. New Season Pass

The new Season Pass, launched for Regular Season 1, has been expanded from the previous Level 50 to Level 100.
Unlocking the Premium Pass for this Season Pass will grant you access to even more diverse rewards.
A large number of new items obtainable through Season Pass level achievements have been added!
This includes limited profile icons, limited profile banners, and various Legendary Armor Selectors, in addition to the existing Legendary Weapon Selector.

9. Changes after Update

Blueprint tooltip improvements
- The blueprint tooltip has been changed to clearly show what finished equipment corresponds to each blueprint at a glance.
Loadout and Trader UX improvements
- https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2468730/view/498336168563182065?l=english
After reaching the maximum enchantment limit, you can perform additional enchantments by consuming a small amount of Wishstones.
Additional enchantments can be performed up to the maximum enchantment limit. If an item has a maximum enchantment limit of 10, you can perform 10 more additional enchantments.
Dungeon Entry Changes
- Entry into dungeons will now restrict all items except equipped gear and consumables.
Market system changes
- Instead of deducting fees upfront when listing items on the market, fees will now be deducted after the transaction is complete.
- In addition, a deposit must be placed when listing items on the market.
- The deposit consists of a small amount of Wishstones, and the full amount of Wishstones deposited will be refunded upon successful sale of the item.
- Under this deposit system, the deposit will not be refunded if the item listed on the market is canceled or not sold. This is to prevent the manipulation of item prices by abusing the market system.
Changed crafting materials for existing craftable equipment
- The gold cost for equipment crafting may vary depending on construction progress.
