Rabam Skills
Developer Commentary
"The enlightened one, Rabam, is part of the Muremos, often referred to as the royal advisors.
Their knowledge knows no bounds, encompassing academia, astrology, alchemy,
and even ancient matters unknown to the general populace.
One day, Rabam senses an unknown energy from the Adventurer,
resembling the energy felt at a certain place she protects.
A place the Valencian royal family sought, but could never find.
It is said that one can awaken the dormant power within at that place.
Seek the forgotten trials and awaken your inner strength."
We are pleased to introduce the Rabam skills, as presented at the Calpheon Ball to our Adventurers.
The Rabam skills begin with the story of the enlightened one, Rabam, mentioning the unknown energy sensed from the Adventurers, leading them to the ancient trials.
Adventurers who find the trials passed down from ancient times will be able to use Rabam skills,
allowing them to experience a different combat style than before.
Rabam skills are powerful skills that your enemies can't foresee, akin to ultimate skills,
with the unique feature of allowing you to choose the effects of skill enhancements.
To use more powerful Rabam skills, you will need Rabam Skillbooks.
Rabam Skillbooks can be exchanged using Kabua's Tokens, which are obtained through Rabam's Trials.
Starting Rabam's Trials imposes certain restrictions, such as selecting usable skills.
Some stages require solving riddles, while others have treasure chests.
You must overcome unknown trials and prove your skills.
Upon clearing a stage, you will select a card from multiple options,
navigating the trials in your own unique style.
The Adventurers you will be ranked against will change randomly each week,
providing opportunities to achieve high ranks based on the situation.
We hope you enjoy more intense battles with the newly added Rabam Skills
and experience the sense of accomplishment by pushing your limits in Rabam's Trials.

Chaos Rift Totem
Developer Commentary
The Chaos Jewel, Ah'krad, and Riftborn Fervor have infused the Primal Totem,
creating the Chaos Rift Totem with even stronger power.
This Totem infused with new energies retains the power of the Abyssal Totem as before,
and can absorb Chaos Cores to contain even more power.
We hope the Chaos Rift Totem sets another goal to reach for Adventurers.
- Added the Chaos Rift Totem.
ㆍ Can be crafted under [Crafting → Gear → Others → Totem].
ㆍ Equipping a +0 Chaos Rift Totem increases Max HP by 1,000.
- The Chaos Rift Totem can be crafted using a +40 Primal Rift Totem, Riftborn Fervor x20, Chaos Jewels x2, Ah'krad x5, and 5 billion Silver.
ㆍ The +40 Primal Rift Totem combined with Abyssal Rift Totems can still be used as a material.
ㆍ The Enhancement levels of the Abyssal Rift Totems are kept even after crafting the Chaos Rift Totem.
- Three Abyssal Rift Totems can be combined to apply their stats, just like with the Primal Rift Totem.
- Maximum enhancement level for the Chaos Rift Totem is +20.
ㆍ Increase the enhancement success rate up to 100% by using Chaos Cores.
ㆍ Enhancement attempts can be made starting at a success rate of 10%.
- Each enhancement level increases AP, DP, and Max HP.
- The enhancement level does not decrease upon failing the enhancement.
Character
Developer Commentary
In this update, we have adjusted the balance of classes that were either overly powerful
or made it difficult for opponents to find openings in combat.
Firstly, Deadeye, a class that primarily engages in ranged combat,
was performing exceptionally well across most content.
Considering the damage falloff at range, rather than the skill's base damage,
we have adjusted the damage boost from sustained effects and bullets
to encourage Deadeye to take risks by approaching enemies for more powerful attacks.
Wizard and Kurenai at the hands of a skilled Adventurer
were showing flawless performance in small-scale battles like 1v1 encounters.
We have made some adjustments to the Cooldowns and effects of frequently used skills
to allow well-timed counterattacks that can change the course of combat.
We are continuously monitoring feedback from Adventurers
through the Class Discussion on the Official Forum and Customer Support.
We aim to ensure that the gap between classes does not become too wide,
and we will continue to monitor and make adjustments as needed.
Deadeye
The Canary Way
- Adjusted the effect of "Increase All Skill Damage for 10 sec" applied when Frontier Survivor is activated. (5% → 2.5%)
