Hero Adjustments
I. Wuchen
1. Adjusted the performance of [Spirit Blades·Array]. When the blade hits an enemy, instead of reducing the weapon's durability and triggering Clash or Counter, it will now reduce the enemy's energy by 5,000 points.
2. Reduced the CD of [Spirit Blades·Array] from 25 sec to 22 sec.
3. Adjusted the interval at which [Spirit Blades·Array] will auto release. The first blade is released after a shorter interval as enemy approaches, then the rest blades are released with constant intervals of 3 seconds between each one.
//Dev note: When the mechanism of a blade that automatically releases and clashes against an enemy's attack is included in the same skill, duel results become unstable and unpredictable. For this reason, we've adjusted the mechanism of the F2 skill and the combat pacing.
4. Increased the Vulnerable value of [Tai Chi Rift·Switch] for the teleported enemy from 10% to 15% while maintaining its duration.
II. Ziping Yin
1. Adjusted the Damage Reduction inflicted by the Skill [Aromatherapy] from 20% to 30%.
2. Instead of directly triggering [Inspiration Shield], the Skill [Aromatherapy: Protection] will now apply an 8-sec [Inspiration], then trigger [Inspiration Shield] when Ziping Yin is hit, lasting for 8 sec.
3. Adjusted the max Rage for her Ultimate [Saving Grace] and all the Talents from 75,000 to 60,000.
III. Matari
1. After releasing the Skill [Silent Flutter] and its derived Skills, Attack is boosted by 15% for 3 sec.
2. Reduced the CD of [Silent Flutter: Retrace Flash] from 30 sec to 22 sec. Adjusted the duration of the mark from 7.5 sec to 9 sec after the mark is left by the flash, and the Retrace Flash can be used under attack.
3. The Ultimate [Unseen Wings] and [Unseen Wings: Assassin] can be used under attack now; however, after Matari casts the Ultimate, she no long refreshes the skills for other teammates (but can still refresh her own skills).
//Dev note: When being hit, Matari now can use [Unseen Wings] and be teleported back after releasing [Silent Flutter: Retrace Flash]. We've made these adjustments to bring her higher flexibility and to encourage players to come up with more combat strategies.
IV. Feria Shen
1. Optimized the special effect of the Skill [Gunplay: Aim] when raising the gun.
2. Optimized the CD of Bronze Mech when switching the Cannon forms under all talents from 5 sec to 4 sec.
3. Optimized the releasing performance and space determination of [Mech Mayhem: Co-pilot]'s Beacon. Now it can be placed on rough terrain.
//Dev note: It was hard for Feria Shen to place beacons when battling on rough terrain, so we've made the optimization.
V. Tarka Ji
Slightly increased the range of the 2nd-stage dodge (elbow strike) when he is casting his ultimate.
VI. Takeda Nobutada
Reduced the staggering time of [Mythic Grab·Takedown] when hitting non-Blue Focus enemy.
VII. Other Adjustments
Added a display of the enemy's Energy Bar to the caster when some skills that can reduce the enemy's energy (e.g., [Zephyr Prison], [Spirit Blades·Array], etc.) hit the enemy.
Showdown Adjustments
I. Combat Adjustments
1. Reduced the ability of Hammer Evil-Ent and Mountain Ghost to bounce back ranged attack.
2. Hammer Evil-Ent will not use Purple Focus strikes twice in a row.
II. Omens Adjustments
1. Reduced the trigger interval of the Ice Thorn. Now, the Ice Thorn will only be triggered when the player enters the triggering area.
2. Adjusted the position of the following Omens in Gelid Yushan: Frozen Earth, Ice Wind, and Ice Thorn; and slightly increased the number of these Omens.
III. Enigma Domain Adjustments
1. Adjusted the boss' respawn location and rules to make it respawn nearer to the player.
2. Adjusted the distribution of monsters near Eventide Temple Cortile and Bhiku's Dorm to make it easier to find.
3. Adjusted the distribution of monsters near Lake Yellowleaf to prevent from disturbing the boss battle.
4. Now, in the Enigma Domain, Scout Bells will be placed instead of Nether Bells. And the number of Scout Bells is greatly increased.
5. Optimized the animation of disappearing the monsters when time's up.
IV. Souljade Adjustments
1. [Cavalry Bloom·Ice-wielding]
Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 6.06 to 6.49
2. [Erudition·Ice-wielding]
Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 10.5 to 11.18
3. [Aerial Rend·Ice-wielding]
Charged strike 1st stage Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 8.92 to 9.5;
Charged strike 2nd stage Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 11.39 to 12.13;
Charged strike 3nd stage Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 13.63 to 14.52.
4. [Dual Link]
Reduced the Pistol's Damage Multiplier of breaking Astral Aegis by 35%.
5. [Detonating Rounds]
Reduced the Pistol's Damage Multiplier of breaking Astral Aegis by 30%.
6. [Scattershot Enhance]
Reduced the Bow's Damage Multiplier of breaking Astral Aegis by 40%.
7. [Weaponry Chest Boon]
Decreased the Reduction Multiplier of ranged damage from 30% to 20%.
8. [Ice Bomb]
Increased the bullets' Frostbite Damage Multiplier by 16%.
9. [Frost Cannon]
Increased the Cannon's Frostbite Damage Multiplier by 16%.
//Dev note: In the current version, the Souljades of some ranged weapons are too strong to break the Astral Aegis, so we have made a balance adjustment accordingly. At the same time, the overall ranged weapon damage has been appropriately increased by adjusting the damage reduction multiplier of the Weaponry Chest Boon.
We hope you will understand and support this adjustment, and a certain number of Souljades Gifts will also be delivered after this update.
V. Hero Adjustments
1. Temulch
Reduced talents' and scattering arrows' Damage Multipliers of breaking Astral Aegis by 30%.
2. Tianhai
1) Optimized the Counterstrike Combo's move and attack range after Tianhai transforms into Vajra so that it's more convenient for him to hit the enemy.
2) Now, the boss monster will take Tianhai in Vajra form as their prior target.
3) Increased the Damage Multipliers of Vajra's ranged grab from 0.35 to 1.
VI. Animation Adjustments
Added an animation of gathering uncollected Souljades into the player's bag when settling.
In-game Adjustments
I. Combat Adjustments
1. When some weapons or skills hit the head, no extra damage is dealt. So we've removed the headshot's performance to avoid any confusion. The actual damage and performance remain unchanged.
