# Changes

[Character]

* Shared

1. We felt that skills that targets the location of other characters were being used too easily, allowing players to catch too easily by targeting above the target character’s head or just below the character. We determined that those being hit by this skill would feel this was unfair.

Range of the following skills are now limited to Top/Bottom 35 degrees (In skill user PoV), and PvP range is changed to 500.

– Vital Drain

– Energy Drain

– Mind Break

– Force Finger

* Ara / Sakra Devanam

1. With the monsters that are not affected by delays increasing, there was an issue where Ara’s secret art wasn’t hitting targets as intended. Thus, following were changed so that secret art would work as intended.

– Ara command skill ‘→→X’, ‘XXX↓X’ changed to not lift targets and instead will hitstun then push targets.

– Knockdown is removed for the Full Moon slash (When using “Dragon 4th Stance: Moonlight slash” by charging it)

– Sakra Devanam’s skill note True Moonlight Slash’s effect for the Full Moon Slash is changed from knockdown removal to increased damage.

* Dark Knight / Crimson Avenger

1. HP recovery for Dark Knight’s ‘Blood Runaway’ passive that activates when debuff is removed was considered to be too effective compared to other characters without HP recovery skills.

Thus in PvP, HP recovery per stack and amount of HP recovered has been reduced.

2. ‘Blood Runaway’ buff stack could happen very quickly using certain fast hitting skills. This, cooldown of 1 second has been added between stacks.

3. Dark Knight, Crimson Avenger’s damage increase when using ‘Blood Hit’ was deemed to be too effective in pvp when considering the ‘HP cost’ to ‘Damage increase’ ratio. Thus damage increase has been changed to 30% in PvP.

* Infinity Sword

1. Infinity Sword’s ‘Cruel Slayer’ was considered to be in similar situation as Dark Knight’s ‘Blood Runaway’ thus cooldown of 1 second was added between stacks.

* Add

1. Add’s ‘Particle Prism’ being available continuously long as resource allowed it was identified as a problem in team matches

Cooldown time was increased and MP cost was increased so its usage will be more planned out.

* Time Tracer

1. Players remaining vulnerable after the end of ‘Void field’ due to its debuff was identified as a problem.

Debuff duration was changed to 1 second so that debuff is only maintained when skill is being used.

2. ‘Maximum Strike’ hitting targets far away regardless of character locations and granting easy catch was considered to be unfair compared to the skills in other character’s repertoire.

So the skill’s maximum target range has been limited, and it has been changed so that even if the target is within range, the target will become unlocked if the hits do not happen within 2 seconds.

It was also determined that the skill was dealing too much damage to characters that weren’t intended targets. Thus, the damage reduction has been added depending on distance traveled by projectile.

* Diabolic Esper

1. There was a problem where ‘Time Control’ effect was activating too frequently and compared to other Add classes, the benefits of using DP was too great and effects of cooldown penalty almost couldn’t be felt.

Thus ‘Time Control’ will only activate on Special Active skills and unintended cooldown reduction of ‘Seal of Time’ will not happen anymore.

[Other]

1. Additional Channels added for Winter Break event and Channel composition and level ranges changed.

2. Channels have been added but level range of channels has been increased to limit channel disparity.

Most enticingly, Sander Channel has been added and it has the level range of 61~75.

3. To prevent players from not being able to play in desired channels during the Winter Break event. EXP bonus for playing in channels within level range will temporarily always work regardless of the channel played.
