Developer Commentary

Gladiator has a passive skill effect that increases the damage of key skills by 30%
and grants Forward Guard upon using Shield Charge, Charging Thrust, or Piercing Spear.

However, we have noticed that this passive skill effect is not being utilized efficiently
against monsters with high HP during Auto-Combat.

Even in regular monster zones, when these skills are used in auto-hunt,
the efficiency of this passive tends to drop as the monsters with low HP are defeated with a single hit.

For these reasons, we initially considered leaving a portion of these skills to be used manually.
However, considering that important monster zones such as Everfrost and Land of the Sherekhan require Adventurers to engage in prolonged battles,
we determined that requiring manual control for these skills might be excessive.

Therefore, we have improved the Auto-Combat to use Shield Charge more often between the key skills,
so the passive can be activated more efficiently..

Please note that when facing enemies with low HP that can be defeated with a single hit during auto-combat,
the frequent use of Shield Charge, which has a relatively narrow attack range, may result in a decrease in the number of monsters defeated, depending on your skill setup.

But we expect to see higher efficiency in hunting through different skill setups and Auto-Combat locks
depending on the characteristcs and purpose of the monster zones.

Ground Smash

- Added a short jump for Flow: Leap of Faith without directional input.
- Changed to use a short jump when the target is within 4.5m during Auto-Combat.


Shield Charge

- Changed to allow combo into Ground Smash or Scars of Dusk.
- Improved the Auto-Combat AI.
ㆍAfter using short Shield Charge, the AI will now use Spinning Slash, Scars of Dusk, Ground Smash, Counter Slash, and Ground Slash more frequently to benefit from the Strong Principle: Increase Damage effect.
ㆍAfter using Spinning Slash, Scars of Dusk, Ground Smash, Counter Slash, or Ground Slash, the AI will now use Shield Charge more frequently to refresh the Strong Principle: Increase Damage effect.


- Changed the Damage Multiplier against World Bosses with PvE balance adjustments (129.59% → 122.38%)

New Content and Improvements

- Extended the Knowledge Boost Season until the update maintenance on Jul 22 (Tue).

Upcoming Updates

Developer Commentary

We would like to address the recent feedback from many adventurers regarding the grab skills.

Grab is a powerful skill in PvP that can neutralize an opponent’s Super Armor and knock them down.
After the Rabam skill update, it especially became more significant as you could combo Rabam skills after a successful grab.

Considering the overall impact of grab skills on game balance,

we are currently preparing and testing improvements as outlined below to provide a more balanced combat experience.

BEFORE AFTER

1. Increasing Vulnerability Duration After Failed Grab
Currently, when a grab fails, the character is briefly left vulnerable. Moving forward, this vulnerability duration will be slightly extended.
With this adjustment, we aim to encourage Adventurers to make more careful decisions when using grab skills.

2. Increasing Grab Skill Cooldown
The current cooldowns for grab skills are around 10 seconds.
This makes it relatively easy to combo into Rabam skills, which have cooldowns of around 20 seconds, even if only one out of two grab attempts succeeds.
We plan to increase the cooldown for grab skills, making the timing of these skills even more crucial.

BEFORE AFTER

3. Adding Pre-Grab Skill Action (TBD)

If further improvement is needed even after the first two steps as we monitor the impact of grab skills in combat, and we determine that additional action is necessary,
We are considering adding a specific animation before the skill is used, giving opponents more room to recognize and respond to grabs.

These proposed improvements require further internal testing and adjustments, so we ask for your understanding as we cannot yet provide an exact implementation date.
We will continue to monitor the feedback provided by Adventurers and remain committed to ongoing improvements.

Additionally, please note that we are also reviewing the usage status of Stealth and Black Spirit Emergency Escape skills in various situations.

Thank you.

Hidden Outer Castle Improvements

Developer Commentary

Hidden Outer Castle is a competitive hunting zone where all guilds that have captured a castle can enter, hunt monsters, and engage in combat with other guilds at the same time.

It is held twice a week for one hour each session.

But there have been concerns about fatigue caused by the intense battles between guilds that have claimed castles,

and some also felt that the rewards didn’t match the time and effort they put in.

With this update, we aimed to improve Hidden Outer Castle by providing shorter, yet more focused gameplay and more rewarding experiences for Adventurers.

First, the duration has been reduced to half, while rewards have been increased proportionally to the shorter playtime.
Previously, Hidden Outer Castle could be entered immediately after it opened, which sometimes led to reduced playtime for guilds that needed time to prepare.
Since this issue could become more prominent with the shorter duration, we’ve added a 10-minute pre-start notification to help reduce wasted time.

Additionally, we have adjusted the respawn time for normal monsters and increased the Spoils of Battle Drop Rate,
allowing Adventurers to earn greater rewards when defeating monsters.

Lastly, to bring more variety to the combat experience of repeated battles, deaths, and revives in a limited space,
we have added Elite Monsters that appear at random locations so the frontlines shift as time passes,
and added a feature at the Respawn Point to help Adventurers recover and regroup.

We hope these changes help Adventurers feel more immersed in the gameplay and enjoy more satisfying loot,
alleviating some of the fatigue that may have come from repetitive combat experiences.

 

- Changed the map of Hidden Outer Castle.
ㆍAdventurers will now be randomly placed at one of three possible starting locations upon entry.

- Changed the duration of Hidden Outer Castle to 30 minutes.
- Added a notification that alerts Adventurers 10 minutes before Hidden Outer Castle begins.

- Changed the rewards for Hidden Outer Castle.
ㆍDecreased the respawn time for normal monsters. (10 sec → 3 sec)
ㆍAdded Unknown Memory (Earrings) and removed Unknown Memory (Shoes) from obtainable loot.
ㆍCooldown for discovering Spoils of Battle has been reduced by 50%.
ㆍIncreased the Spoils of Battle Drop Rate. (12% → 21.5%)

▶ (Example) Obtained Loot List

ㆍThe item “Banquet Hall Loot Chest” has been renamed to “Unclaimed Treasure Chest” and can now be obtained in Hidden Outer Castle.
