2. After the event ends, you can still claim unlocked rewards on the event page and unlock Golden Keeper Scroll to obtain rewards within the remaining time to claim rewards. But you can no longer complete Quests, unlock Confidential Scrolls and share Golden Keeper Scrolls during that period. Once the items expire, they can be converted into 160 Tae each in the Inventory

Hero Adjustments
I. Justina Gu
Optimized the pulling effect that occurs when Justina Gu interrupts her dash and initiates a weapon move during the casting of [Shadowswipe] or [Shadowswipe: Blizzard].
1. Fixed an issue where the camera would oscillate when the player rapidly adjusted the viewing angle and switched the target during targeting.
2. The pulling effect of this move will only be activated when Justina Gu's target is an enemy hit by [Shadowswipe] or [Shadowswipe: Blizzard]; if not, the move will not trigger the pulling effect and will simply auto-aim melee strikes toward the enemy.
//Developer's Comment: After introducing the post-emergency-stop pulling effect for Justina Gu, we have observed an increase in players executing thrilling moves with Justina Gu. However, we also recognize that some seasoned players have had a less satisfactory experience due to changes in character control habits. To address this, we have implemented the above fine-tunings for better performance. Moreover, we are in the process of developing a setting that will allow players to choose whether to enable the post-emergency-stop pulling effect for Justina Gu. We will also continue to pay close attention to player feedback.
Weapon Adjustments
I. Heng Sword
1. Slightly reduced the knockback distance when a target is hit by a charged vertical strike.
2. Enhanced the melee correction for Straight Lunge and Lethal Jab.

4. Slightly reduced the startup frames of follow-up horizontal strikes launched after Straight Lunge or Lethal Jab.
5. Reduced the window for interrupting the follow-up horizontal strikes launched after the Straight Lunge or Lethal Jab.
6. Reduced the window for interrupting the follow-up vertical strikes launched after the third stage of the vertical strike or Shadow Step.
7. Fixed an issue where the first strike of the charged vertical strikes would hit an airborne enemy but its second strike would miss the target.
8. Optimized animations of the second, third, and fourth stages of the vertical strike.
9. Optimized character animations when charging a new charged vertical strike after executing charged vertical strikes.
10. Optimized character animations when a successfully countering.
11. Optimized the sound effects for some moves.

Since the Sense Levels are unlocked in alignment with Enigma Peak, the Sense Level cap has been increased to 700. The cultivation level cap for some stages of Yama's Abyss has been adjusted accordingly.
II. Yama's Abyss Adjustments
1. A preparation phase has been added in Yama's Abyss: Before the battle starts, players can choose one from the Ice Essence, Thunder Essence, or [Blessed Weapon Repair Kit] blessings as their starting enhancement.
2. The Health and Attack of the first Boss have been reduced, while the Health and Attack of the last two Bosses have been increased.
3. The price of the Weapon Repair Kit has been reduced to 50 Dark Tide Coins, the price of the Grappling Hook has been reduced to 15 Dark Tide Coins, and the prices of these two items will not increase across the stages of Yama's Abyss.
