This patch contains pretty much everything from the last test server patch, changes to the Dawn Boss set, Reboot World boss party rewards, additions to Maple Chronicle, skill changes,and boss updates (including a few more changes to Magnus and Dunkel). Other than that, it has the Spiegella’s Strawberry Farm and Magic Stone Slab events. The next patch should be the 20th anniversary event, I wonder how big they’re gonna go for it! Overview Dawn Boss Set Tradeability Changes Reboot World Boss Reward Acquisition Criteria Changes Dimensional Library: Maple Chronicle Book of the Beginning Book of Grandis: Shangri-La Improvements Graphic Options Skills Items Monsters Maps UI Beauty Room Cash Shop Error Fixes Skills Quests Items Monsters Maps UI Events Spiegella’s Strawberry Farm Magic Stone Slab Lady Blair’s Dream Express Sunday Maple Dawn Boss Set Tradeability Changes The following items have been changed so that you can use Platinum Karma Scissors on them. Twilight Mark Daybreak Pendant Estella Earrings ※ A scissor limit of 10 will be added to all existing items. Developer Notes: The Dawn Boss Accessory set was designed to be a set that gave step-by-step growth from the Boss Accessory set. However, since they became untradeable after equipping them, you had to invest a considerable amount of materials in the next step of items, the Pitched Boss set, to switch to them. This was an issue that made players reluctant to use the Dawn Boss items. To allow for gradual growth in accessories as intended, we have changed the ‘Twilight Mark’, ‘Estella Earrings’, and ‘Daybreak Pendant’ from the Dawn Boss set so that you can use Platinum Karma Scissors on them. Some existing items’ values may become lower due to this change but we decided that the factor of improving the game’s overall equipment growth process would be a net positive. We did not change the Dawn’s Guardian Angel Ring as the demand and effectiveness of that item are sufficiently high since it can be used with 3 other ring items. [Back to Overview] Reboot World Boss Reward Acquisition Criteria Changes Reboot World’s boss reward acquisition criteria has been changed. In parties of 2 or more people, boss rewards and Intense Power Crystals can only be acquired by party members that deal a total of 5% damage or more to the boss. ※ Quests and achievements related to defeating bosses, as well as items that can only be acquired during certain quests can still be completed/acquired, regardless of the newly applied reward acquisition criteria. Reboot World’s Intense Power Crystal pricing criteria has been changed. Existing: Based on the number of party members when entering a boss. Changed: Based on the number of party members who have dealt 5% damage to the boss Developer Notes: The boss reward acquisition criteria when partying in Reboot World has been changed. Now, when entering a boss with a party of 2 or more people in Reboot World, only characters that have dealt a total of 5% damage or more to the boss will acquire boss rewards, including the Intense Power Crystal. Reboot World is a world where you directly acquire all items, which makes it a world that maximizes the fun of farming equipment and growing step-by-step. However, there was an unintended play style actively taking place in Reboot World, where characters who had not achieved the sufficient equipment growth standards would pay for boss clears. This let them skip the step-by-step equipment growth and quickly shorten the growth path. We have checked the data for Reboot and Reboot 2 worlds’ party boss fights in January~February 2023, and over 40% of characters had dealt less than 1% total damage. We decided that these actions seriously undermined Reboot World’s unique experience, and implemented a systemic improvement plan as quickly as possible. As we continue to add content in the future, we will try our best to make Reboot World’s unique experience better. [Back to Overview] Dimensional Library: Maple Chronicle Book of the Beginning The Book of the Beginning has been added to Dimensional Library. Through the newly added Book of the Beginning, you can look back at the stories of each class. The Book of the Beginnings contains the stories of the [Adventurers], [Cygnus Knights], and [Resistance] jobs. Other jobs will be added in a later update. The Book of the Beginning will unlock when you get each ‘Job’s Book’ achievement. You must have at least one of these achievements to open the Book. You can enter this content on any character level 100 or higher that have completed the ‘[Dimensional Library] Visit the Dimensional Library’ quest. The Dimensional Library can be accessed through the Maple Guide or through the Dimensional Mirror. ※ The Day After stories will be added to the Book of Arcane River in a later update. New achievements have been added. Adventurer’s Book NPC Romi’s dialogue has bee nchanged. The Chronicle description has been changed to guide you through refreshing achievements. [Back to Overview] Book of Grandis: Shangri-La ‘Shangri-La’ content has been added to the Book of Grandis. This content is unlocked when you have at least 1 character in the same world that has completed the ‘Peach Blossoming Paradise’ achievement. After unlocking the content, you can enter this content on any character level 100 or higher that have completed the ‘[Dimensional Library] Visit the Dimensional Library’ quest. The Dimensional Library can be accessed through the Maple Guide or through the Dimensional Mirror. [Back to Overview] Improvements Graphic Options If you adjust the Options – Graphics tab’s ‘Background’ slider in the Quality section, it will now adjust the amount of particle effects displayed on the map. For users with low performance PCs, we improved the issue where gameplay was not smooth due to performance drops in certain maps. Developer Notes: You can now alleviate the issue of game delay in maps, like Labyrinth of Suffering, Moonbridge, and That Day of Trueffet, with many weather effects like fog or rain by adjusting the Background options. [Back to Overview] Skills Common Certain charge-type skills have been improved so that instead of displaying the cooldown on a quickslot, they will instead display the recharge cooldown. However, skills with a recharge time of 5 seconds or less are not included. The affected skills are as follows. Maple World Goddess’ Blessing Empress Cygnus’ Blessing Transcendent Cygnus’ Blessing Another World Goddess’ Blessing Transcendent Rhinne’s Prayer Grandis Goddess’ Blessing Paladin’s Mighty Mjolnir Bishop’s Divine Punishment Pathfinder’s Cardinal Transition Viper’s Furious Charge Cannon Shooter’s Oak Barrel Roulette Cannon Shooter’s Big Huge Gigantic Cannonball Flame Wizard’s Infinity Flame Circle Wind Breaker’s Howling Gale Battle Mage’s Black Magic Altar Kain’s Scattering Shot Kain’s Shaft Break Kain’s Falling Dust Kain’s Sneaky Sniping Illium’s Soul of Crystal Lara’s Dragon Vein Traces Hero’s Will: The cooldown has been decreased from 360 seconds to 300 seconds. Combat Orders will no longer apply to this skill. Cygnus Knight’s Will: The cooldown has been decreased from 360 seconds to 300 seconds. Demon’s Will: The cooldown has been decreased from 360 seconds to 300 seconds. Transcendent’s Will: The cooldown has been decreased from 360 seconds to 300 seconds.

Anima Hero’s Will: The cooldown has been decreased from 360 seconds to 300 seconds. Combat Orders will no longer apply to this skill. Developer Notes: The Hero’s Will skills that we added to certain job branches in the February 25, 2021 update were not affected by Combat Orders, so there was a difference in cooldowns between jobs. In this update, instead of changing Hero’s Will skills to not be affected by Combat Orders, we changed the cooldowns so that they would have the same effect between all classes. [Back to Overview] Hero Sword of Burning Soul: You can now cast this skill with the down arrow key to instantly summon it in fixed mode. [Back to Overview] Paladin Blessing Armor: You can now right-click the skill icon in the skill window to hide the activation effect. Blast: The damage has been increased from 285% to 305%.

[Back to Overview] Adventurer Archers Double Jump: This skill has been improved so that the action delay when used upwards is affected by attack speed. [Back to Overview] Bowmaster Afterimage Shot: This skill has been improved so that the passive effect activates while the active effect is not activated. [Back to Overview] Marksman True Sniping: This skill has been improved so that you can no longer interact with NPCs when the mouse click state is cancelled after using the skill.

This skill has been changed so that the effect disappears faster when the chains do not hit an enemy. You can now use this skill while using Bloody Storm and Blade Ascension.

This skill has been improved so that Defense Form’s effect is not affected by skill effect transparency. Serpent Screw: This skill has been improved so that you are put in-combat only when you cast the skill. [Back to Overview] Captain Battleship Bomber: The bombardment activated when Sign of Bombard is installed’s attack range has been increased by about 33%. [Back to Overview] Cannon Shooter Oak Barrel Roulette: This skill has been changed into a charge-type skill. You can prepare 1 Oak Barrel Roulette every 15 seconds, and you can store up to 4. The cooldown and the halved cooldown when a non-Ice buff is applied have been removed. Cannon Buster: The damage has been increased from 750% to 780%. Rolling Cannon Rainbow: The damage has been increased from 600% to 800%. Developer Notes: Oak Barrel Roulette is a skill that was intended to change the combat experience by receiving one of the various effects. However, we decided that receiving an unwanted effect in tense combat situations caused excessive stress, so in this update, we improved the skill to be able to charge multiple stacks and alleviate that stress. [Back to Overview] Soul Master Soul Blessing I: The attack boost when a Cosmic Orb is created has been decreased from 30 to 15. Soul Blessing II: The attack boost when a Cosmic Orb is created has been decreased from 30 to 15. Sword Mastery: The critical damage boost has been decreased from 15% to 12%. [Back to Overview] Flame Wizard Orbital Flame III: The damage boost when attacking normal monsters has been increased from 20% to 25%. Liberated Magic: The final damage boost has been decreased from 30% to 25%. Orbital Flame IV: The damage boost when attacking normal monsters has been increased from 40% to 50%. Inferno Rise: Fox Mode’s damage has been increased from 340% to 630%. Fox Mode’s number of hits has been increased from 4 to 6. The additional attack activated when you hit an enemy with 5 stacks of Fox’s Mischief’s number of hits has been increased from 5 to 12. Developer Notes: Flame Wizard’s Fox Mode Inferno Rise is a skill that was designed to instantly deal a lot of damage in boss battles, but the damage was set too low to work as intended. In this update, we want to increase Fox Mode Inferno Rise’s damage to supplement its importance in boss battles. However, since Flame Wizard is currently showing excessive performance in boss battles, we adjusted ‘Liberated Magic’s final damage boost. To make sure this adjustment did not have a large impact on grinding, we have also adjusted Orbital Flame’s damage boost when attacking normal monsters. [Back to Overview] Wind Breaker Howling Gale: This skill has been improved so that if you use the skill with the down or up arrow key while not having enough prepared Wind Energy stacks, the skill will not be used. [Back to Overview] Night Walker Shadow Momentum: You can now right-click the skill icon in the skill window to hide the activation effect.

You can right-click the skill to set it to Automatic Activation Mode, where if the Larkness gauge is full, you can use an Equilibrium skill, Gate of Truth, Punishing Resonator, or Baptism of Light and Darkness to enter Equilibrium mode. Liberation Orb: The active effect’ imbalanced damage has been increased from 1000% to 1200%, the balanced damage has been increased from 1100% to 1300%. The increased damage per excess magic power has been increased from 115%p to 150%p. Developer Notes: In the August 25 update, Equilibrium Liberation was added with the feature to delay entering Equilibrium mode. In the September 29 update, we added the feature to enter Equilibrium mode by using an Equilibrium skill. In this update, we changed it so that Equilibrium’s grace period is provided by default, and changed Equilibrium Liberation to a skill that is used to enter Equilibrium mode. In addition, we maintained the ability to enter Equilibrium mode by using Equilibrium skills in the form of a Custom Command, so that Luminous players can use Equilibrium mode more flexibly based on the battle situation. [Back to Overview] Mercedes Lightning Edge: The action delay has been decreased by about 22%. The time it takes to start moving has been decreased by about 60%. The issue where you could not use this skill continuously for a certain period of time after using it has been improved. [Back to Overview] Phantom Phantom Shroud: This skill has been improved so that you can use the basic attack, jump, or other skill while using this skill to instantly cancel Phantom Shroud. Ultimate Drive: The damage has been increased from 140% to 160%. Tempest of Cards: The damage has been increased from 400% to 455%.

Spirit Ward: This skill has been improved so that you can see the number of remaining guardian spirits in the buff window. This skill has been improved so that the Guardian Spirit’s effect is no longer affected by skill effect transparency. [Back to Overview] Demons Demon Jump: This skill has been improved so that the high jump’s action delay is affected by attack speed. [Back to Overview] Demon Slayer The skill icons have been improved. Jormungandr: The HP consumption has been changed from 10% max HP to 2000 HP.

Shockwave Punch: The action delay has been decreased by about 7%. The time when linking becomes available will not change. Hurricane Mixer: This skill has been changed into a single attacking skill that creates a storm to sweep through enemies in a wide range, dealing 1250% damage 5 times on up to 12 enemies. The keydown feature has been removed. The skill effect and sounds have been changed. The cooldown has been decreased from 45 seconds to 15 seconds. When the skill hits an enemy, the duration of maximum stacked Combination Training has been changed to 12 seconds. The MP consumption has been changed from 20 MP per attack to 60 MP. This skill has been improved so that it can be used while in the air. Hurricane Mixer – Reinforce: Hurricane Mixer’s damage is increased by 20%. [Required Level: 165] Hurricane Mixer – Cooltime Reduce: This skill has been removed. [Back to Overview] Battle Mage The skill icons have been improved.

Wild Vulcan Type-P: The MP consumption has been decreased from 200 MP to 50 MP. [Back to Overview] Mechanic The skill icons have been improved. Jet Booster: This skill has been improved so that you will not be put in-combat when using Mechanic Dash in the air. Homing Missile: The issue where you could not use certain other skills immediately after firing has been improved. Open Gate: GX-9: This skill has been improved so that you can see the duration of the Open Gate with the lowest remaining duration in the buff window. Robot Mastery: This skill now increases damage by 45%. The damage boost per summoned robot has been removed. Bomber Time: This skill has been changed so that you can cancel the skill by right-clicking it. Metal Armor Full Burst: This skill has been improved so that you can use certain stat increasing buff skills even while casting it. Developer Notes: Mechanic summons several types of robots to battle, and is structured so that their stats increase in proportion to the number of summoned robots. Due to this structure, in both grinding and boss battles, you had to summon and play around robots that weren’t even required in the current battle situation in order to get maximum effectiveness from the skill. In this update, we removed the structure where their stats increased in proportion to the number of robots summoned by Robot Mastery, and changed it so that they receive the maximum damage boost at all times to alleviate the stress of maintaining all of the robots. [Back to Overview] Xenon The skill icons have been improved. Purge Lob Masquerade: Snipe: The damage has been increased from 360% to 395%. Hologram Graffiti: Force Field: The energy ball’s speed has been increased by about 33%. Meltdown Explosion: This skill has been improved so that it can be used while in the air.

Dragon Blaze: This skill has been improved so that the passive effect activates while the active effect is not activated. [Back to Overview] Kain Possession: The issue where this skill could not be used immediately after using Shadow Swift upwards has been improved. [Back to Overview] Cadena Chain Arts: Chase: This skill has been changed so that it is no longer affected by cooldown reset effects. Weapon Variety I: This skill has been changed so that the additional attack effect is no longer affected by cooldown reset effects. The additional attack’s re-activation cooldown has been decreased from 0.25 seconds to 0.2 seconds. Weapon Variety II: This skill has been changed so that the additional attack effect is no longer affected by cooldown reset effects. The additional attack’s re-activation cooldown has been decreased from 0.25 seconds to 0.2 seconds. Weapon Variety III: This skill has been changed so that the additional attack effect is no longer affected by cooldown reset effects. The additional attack’s re-activation cooldown has been decreased from 0.25 seconds to 0.2 seconds. [Back to Overview] Angelic Buster Affinity IV: You can now right-click the skill icon in the skill window to hide the Soul Recharge UI. [Back to Overview] Zero Long Sword Mastery: The final damage boost has been increased from 21% to 23%. Great Sword Mastery: The final damage boost has been increased from 21% to 23%. Joint Attack: Beta’s chain damage has been increased from 1920%/1830%/2200% to 2000%/1900%/2400%. Alpha’s chain damage has been increased from 1920%/1830%/2200% to 2000%/1900%/2400%. The combined attack’s damage has been increased from 2050% to 2200%. [Back to Overview] Kinesis Ultimate – Deep Impact: The action delay has been decreased by about 23%. The time it takes to start moving has been decreased by about 27%. Psychic Drain: The Psychic Point recovered for each hit of the skill has been changed to apply only to normal monsters. This skill now passively gives a 40% chance to recover 1 Psychic Point when attacking boss monsters. This effect will not activate for certain summons’ attacks, including Psychic Drain. For certain Ultimate skills, the recovery chance will only be applied when the first attack hits. Developer Notes: Kinesis was intended to be played by properly placing skills based on the location of monsters in boss battles, but Psychic Drain became a skill with high management stress because it was essential to hit for continuous Psychic Point supply. In this update, instead of recovering Psychic Points when Psychic Drain hits boss monsters, we added a feature where you can recover Psychic Points with a certain chance when attacking with other skills. This will reduce the fatigue of operation for Kinesis in boss battles by reducing the dependence on hitting Psychic Drain. [Back to Overview] Adele Order: This skill has been improved so that you can see the duration of the Order with the lowest remaining duration in the buff window. [Back to Overview] Khali Arts: Crescentum: This skill has been improved so that it can be used after casting Void Blitz. [Back to Overview] Ark Blissful Restraint: The feature of all the damage during the bind being applied after Blissful Restraint ends has been removed. Endless Pain: This skill has been improved so that the cooldown applies at the start of the keydown. Charge Spell Amplification: This skill has been improved so that Charge Spell Amplification’s effects now apply to the Charge Spell buffs applied at the time the skill is used. [Back to Overview] Lara Expression: Wind Swing: You can now right-click the skill icon in the skill window to set if party members can use the skill. Advanced Wand Mastery: This skill now increases attack speed by 1 stage. Dragon Vein Conversion: The cooldown has been decreased from 3 seconds to 1 second.

[Back to Overview] Hoyoung Talisman: Warp Gate: This skill has been improved so that Buff Freezers are applied. Sage: Tai Yu Clone: The skill cost has been changed from 15% max HP to 200 MP. [Back to Overview] Items It has been improved so that when you use experience related Growth Potions on a character past the specified level range, it will now display the experience % you will have after using it. When using Premium Water of Life, the item description will now indicate that the pet’s magic life will be extended by 90 days. It has been improved so that you can preview Name Tag Ring/Chat Bubble Rings in the tooltips of Vouchers in the Cash inventory. The ‘First Aid Set’ item icon has been improved to remove the red cross image. [Back to Overview] Monsters Magnus The attack range when casting the Slow debuff has been adjusted. The attack range when casting the Undead debuff has been adjusted. The penalty when outside the zone has been changed. In Easy Mode, it has been improved so that the recovery amount is not decreased. In Normal Mode, the reduced recovery amount has been decreased from 90% to 20%. In Hard Mode, the reduced recovery amount has been decreased from 90% to 40%. In Hard Mode, the continuous damage tick rate has been increased from 1 second to 2 seconds. The meteors’ damage has been changed. In Normal Mode, the blue meteor’s damage has been decreased from 100% max HP to 60%. In Normal Mode, the purple meteor’s damage has been decreased from 100% max HP to 80%. In Hard Mode, the blue meteor’s damage has been decreased from 100% max HP to 80%. The number of meteors created has been changed. In Normal Mode phase 4, the number of meteors created has been decreased. In Hard Mode phase 4, the number of meteors created has been decreased. Certain patterns’ cooldowns have been changed. The Spin Cut’s cooldown has been increased to 12 seconds. The Clone Summon’s cooldown has been increased to 10 seconds. The Rush Cut’s cooldown has been increased to 8 seconds. The Power Release’s cooldown has been increased to 15 seconds. The Slam Down’s cooldown has been increased to 15 seconds. In Hard Mode phase 1, the sleeping gas will now appear every 40 seconds. In Hard Mode phase 2, the sleeping gas will now appear every 30 seconds. In Hard Mode phase 3, the sleeping gas will now appear every 30 seconds. In Hard Mode phase 4, the sleeping gas will now appear every 20 seconds. The Spin Cut has been improved so that it can be avoided by crouching. The respawn location after dying has been changed to the centre of the map. Developer Notes: Some of Magnus’ patterns were intended to only be dodged by leaving the zone, so situations where you had to leave it happened often, but in those cases, the survival difficulty was excessively high. In this update, we want to alleviate the overall survival difficulty outside the zone by increasing the amount of health recovery, reducing the frequency of the continuous damage, adjusting the meteors’ damage and amount, changing the respawn location, and adjusting the sleeping gas. In addition, the Spin Cut pattern was intended to be avoided by leaving the zone, but there was a problem where it was impossible to re-enter if Magnus cast the attack continuously. Therefore, we added a cooldown and improved it so that you can avoid it by crouching, to allow you to stay inside the zone based on your proficiency. Other than that, the Slow and Undead patterns are debuffs that have a great impact on the player’s survival, but there were no special ways to dodge them. Therefore, by adjusting the debuff patterns’ ranges and attack activation delays, they are now patterns that can be avoided with proficiency. [Back to Overview] Papulatus In Chaos Mode, the clock bomb’s damage has been decreased from 100% max HP to 70%. In Chaos Mode, a 5 second potion cooldown has been added. The wind-up claw’s attack range has been decreased by about 13%. Certain wind-up claws’ locations have been changed. The Torrent of Time pattern has been changed to one where if you do not deal a certain amount of damage within the countdown, it will explode and forced teleport you. The forced teleport pattern that activates when the Torrent of Time is used more than once has been removed. Developer Notes: Chaos Papulatus has a variety of instant kill patterns which excessively limited the places where characters could stand. Therefore, we decreased the clock bomb damage, which was an instant kill, to increase the degree of freedom in character positioning, and adjusted the difficulty by adding a 5 second potion cooldown instead. In addition, the location of the wind-up claws has been changed so that the platforms can be used strategically and phase 2’s Torrent of Time pattern has been changed so that uncontrollable deaths from the forced teleport pattern that overlapped with other instant kill patterns will no longer happen. [Back to Overview] Lucid Lucid has been improved so that the forced teleport pattern no longer activates when the powerful summon appears. Fixed an issue where you could not pass through a location after a Nightmare Golem had been created, even before it fell. [Back to Overview] Dusk Dusk has been improved so that the Void Fragments are no longer created while a character is in Fear mode. Certain Void Fragments’ falling speeds have been changed. A notice effect has been added to the Void Fragments before they fall. Alleviated an issue where Void Fragments were created repeatedly within a short interval at specific locations. Developer Notes: In Dusk, your vision is blocked when you’re in Fear mode and you can’t predict the location of the Void Fragments, leading to unreasonable deaths. Therefore, to prevent the issue of deaths regardless of control, we have changed it so that players are not hit by Void Fragments while in Fear mode. In addition, when the tentacles are down, we intended for players to climb onto the platforms, but in that case, the fall distance of the Void Fragments was decreased and the difficulty of avoiding them was increased. Now, when the tentacles are down, we have reduced the speed of some of the Void Fragments that fell too fast, and added a notice effect before they fall so you can play around them with control and mastery. [Back to Overview] Dunkel Dunkel has been improved so that the 3 types of Energy Orbs’ images are easier to distinguish. Certain Energy Orbs’ falling speeds have been changed. A notice effect has been added to the Energy Orbs before they fall. Alleviated an issue where Energy Orbs were created repeatedly within a short interval at specific locations. The height of the floor of the map has been lowered. The ceiling of the map has been lowered. Developer Notes: In Dunkel, it was hard to identify the Energy Orbs because the colours of the map and the orbs were similar, and the images of the different orbs were also similar. Therefore, we changed the images of the Energy Orbs to more intuitive and easy-to-identify designs. In addition, we added a notice effect to the Energy Orbs to make them easier to deal with, and alleviated the issue where Energy Orbs were continuously created in a specific location and the density of Orbs created in one area was too high. Finally, due to Dunkel’s characteristics where the battle took place intensively at the bottom of the map, it was hard to see the notice effect displayed off-screen. The height of the floor has been lowered to minimize the meteor falling distance and the map’s ceiling height has been changed so that the notice effect can be seen in any situation without compromising existing gameplay. [Back to Overview] Black Mage The Power of Creation meteors’ hit ranges have been decreased by about 20%. Fixed an issue where if Black Mage cast the Power of Creation or Destruction, you would be hit by the previously used attack. Developer Notes: In Black Mage phase 3, the Power of Creation pattern was intended to be one that required control to continuously pay attention to where the platforms spawn and then finding one to stand under when he cast it. However, the size of the meteors was too big compared to the width of the platforms and characters could still die if they were below them. Therefore, by adjusting the meteors’ hit ranges, we have improved it so that you can survive more consistently underneath large platforms. [Back to Overview] Chosen Seren Chosen Seren has been improved so that the boss no longer has touch damage. Chosen Seren has been improved so that in all phases, the sword rush attack can now be dodged by crouching. Chosen Seren has been improved so that in phase 2 sunset, the sun slash attack’s 1st and 2nd hits can now be dodged by crouching. Developer Notes: Since Chosen Seren had touch damage and certain rush patterns, there was an issue where the difficulty of fighting against her was different between classes. In this update, we have removed Seren’s touch damage, which minimizes the disadvantages between classes and allows more freedom in party compositions. In addition, by changing some of the rush patterns so that they can be avoided by crouching, they can now be overcome through good control rather than just class differences. [Back to Overview] Watcher Kalos Watcher Kalos has been improved so that the notice effects of the explosion patterns show the actual attack ranges more clearly. When the bomb pattern activates, the number of bomb areas created has been decreased. Developer Notes: In Watcher Kalos, when even 1 structure was occupied, when the bombs activated, the battle area and safe zones were restricted excessively. In this update, we decreased the number of bombs activated to allow for more strategic positioning. In addition, the size of the bomb patterns’ notice effects have been adjusted to be more similar to the actual attack ranges so that they are more intuitive to dodge.
