[KR] February 26th Update Notes - Gates of Paradise & Arcadia Raid

Improvements and Fixes

[ Skill / Identity / Requisition Effect ]

Hawkeye

• Changed the effect of the ‘Death Target’ debuff as follows:
  • Original: Lasts 6 seconds, increasing damage taken by Hawkeye by 10/20/30% depending on the number of stacks. If you stack additional death targets in 3 stacks, the duration is reset.
  • Modification: Lasts 8 seconds, increasing damage to Hawkeye by 10/20/30% depending on the number of stacks. If you stack additional death targets in 3 stacks, the duration is reset.

Developer Comments In the last balance improvements, we’ve reduced the nest hold time from 8 seconds to 6 seconds instead of making it easier to maintain Hawkeye’s ‘target of death’ stacking state.
However, after checking the indicators, it was found that the average damage was somewhat lower than expected, and only the ‘dead target’ retention time was restored from 6 seconds to 8 seconds.

Infighter

• Changed the effect of the ‘Supernova Explosion’ skill as follows.
  • Previous: Supernova Explosion Unrotated Strike Tripod deals 150% increased damage from last hit, but reduces attack speed by 30% and increases Shock cost by 50.
  • Modification: Supernova Explosion ‘Unrotated Strike’ Tripod deals 150% more damage from last hit, but also increases its damage cost by 50.
• The retribution effect of ‘Death Sentence’ skill has been changed as follows.
  • Previously: Death Sentence ‘Shock Blast’ Tripod increases damage to named monsters by 50% and increases their neutralization rating to [Best].
  • Modification: Death Sentence ‘Shock Blast’ Tripod increases damage to monsters with named damage by 80% and increases their neutralization rating to [Best].
• PVE damage increased by 8.1% for all skills except PvP.

Developer Comments After checking the balance indicators, I’ve seen the average damage of the Infinite.
The base skill damage has been further adjusted and the attack speed penalty condition has been removed from the Supernova explosion skill options.

Summoner

• Increased damage of PVE of Ancient Spear by 9.7%.

Developer Comments For Summoner, the higher the level, the lower the average damage of the ‘Ancient Spear’ skill.
We have increased the damage of the Ancient Spear skill so that it can be used at high levels.

Blade

• Increased damage of  Soul Absorber skill by 7.6% on PVE.
• Increased damage of Moonlight Sonic on PVE by 7.6%.
• Increased damage of Plitz’s Blitz Rush skill by 7.6%.
• The damage of Poid Strike skill has been increased by 7.6%.

Developer Comments Blade is a class with high damage expectations when certain conditions are met.
However, after balance improvements, some content has been found to meet certain conditions and fall short of their intended damage.
We’ve increased the damage of some of the skills on the blade.
