The final damage of the flames will be increased up to 2x based on the amount of time the swords were in the ground. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Final Figuration: Will of Sword and the flames’ number of hits are increased by 1. U-OTP+ This one doesn’t really affect most people since it’s a KMS-only system, but it’s still pretty useful. Basically, U-OTP is a one-time password system that generates a new password for you every time you want to login and sends it to your phone. It’s been implemented for 5 years I think. This patch, they added the ability to save PCs to your account, so if you login on a saved PC, you don’t have to go through the OTP system. Up to 3 PCs can be saved to one account.
