Ask Sena Anything

· [Moving] It's difficult to set desired options in Pet Potential. Are there plans for improvement?

- We understand that targeting specific options like Zeo requires a significant cost, so we plan to adjust acquisition sources

- We expect the Paradise Box will be helpful

· [Moving] The supply of Chaos Essence and Oblivion Essence isn't keeping up with consumption. Any plans to expand acquisition routes?

- Aside from fixed acquisition routes, we are working to enable additional acquisition like the recent Abyss Box, and preparations are underway

· [Moving] New and returning players struggle to reach PvE score goals. Any plans for PvE damage dealers?

- Raid difficulty is scheduled to be lowered

- Since milestone rewards created the demand, there are also plans to introduce relevant heroes

· [Moving] Are there plans to release new Legendary Accessories or Gems that were in the original game?

- It's true this has been discussed internally, but we need to approach it carefully

- We will prepare for it eventually, but there are no immediate plans. Gems might not be added at all

· [Moving] How are you addressing the persistent in-game spam messages?

- We are fully aware of the issue and are responding by strengthening policies and enforcing sanctions

- We are also considering message deletion features and will work on system enhancements

· [Yoon Koong-koong] Many adventurers feel fatigued by the RNG elements of Total War and the introduction of the Mythic grade. What is the solution?

- The Mythic grade was introduced because the disparity within Legendary was large, and most players stopped playing after reaching Legendary, so a higher rank was added

- However, overlapping with UI revamp issues in the process caused Total War difficulty to spike dramatically and highlighted the RNG elements

- We acknowledge top-tier players' complaints and balance issues, and ultimately believe team deck balance is key

- We are working to strengthen performance across various team comps through remakes and Awakenings of existing heroes, though it will take time

· [Yoon Koong-koong] Recently, Legendary Pity acquisition has increased. Are there plans to add other accessories or growth elements?

- There are no plans for other growth elements, but since the accessory gap and distinction between players have narrowed, we are carefully deliberating on this

· [Yoon Koong-koong] Did the player influx from the September QoL improvements for new/returning players and the October collaboration go as planned?

- In September, data confirmed a significant increase in retention, which we view as a success driven by Adventurer's Path helping players settle in

- While the collab brought in many users, many approached it solely for the IP, resulting in lower retention than expected—a half-success

· [Yoon Koong-koong] Are there plans to add new Former Seven Knights?

- We feel that adding new Former Seven Knights while introducing Awakenings would leave existing Former Seven Knights in an ambiguous position

- Awakenings for existing Former Seven Knights are the priority; new ones will be considered afterwards

· [Yoon Koong-koong] Following the Raid fodder farming QoL, some say Essence drop rates feel lower?

- There were absolutely no modifications made, including drop rate adjustments

· [Yoon Koong-koong] Guild War rewards feel less attractive due to new packages, etc. Are there plans to complement this?

- It's difficult to satisfy top-tier players with currency alone, so we are considering buffing rewards or adding honor rewards

Real-Time Q&A

· Lack of Shining Skill Enhancement Stones

- We believe new and returning adventurers are especially lacking them, and we have preparations underway

· Thoughts on 5-Fodder Farming?

- 5-fodder farming creates areas where growth stagnates

- We want to limit it for the fun of growth, but since players also gain benefits from it, we are carefully deliberating

· Timing for Teo and Kyle Awakening?

- It is too early to state a specific timeline

· Plans for Legendary Costumes?

- We have plans, but it is still difficult to say when and how we will present them

· Regarding Feedback After the Arena Merge

- Top players actively participated using Rubies, so we believe it became more active than before

- We plan to swiftly introduce matching adjustments so opponents cannot be predicted, alongside boosting rating points

· Status of Seven Knights Cup Preparation?

- We won't be able to unveil it super quickly, but plans are set

· Plans to Expand Adventurer's Path?

- We felt the rewards fell a bit short, so we plan to support with more rewards

· Will there be improvements for Instant Death Decks and CC Decks?

- For Instant Death, care is underway like Knox Awakening; since Instant Death is devastating, we are taking a cautious approach and plan to supplement it

- Opinions on CC Decks are divided, so nothing has been decided yet

· Opinions state Arena is tiring with the recent increase in CC heroes

- No immediate improvement plans, but we are aware of the situation

- Yoon Geon is frequently mentioned; personally, there are clear regrets regarding balance

- Since sales are involved, nerfing is difficult, but we will address it through counters like heroes capable of dealing with Yoon Geon

· Guild War fatigue is too severe

- Compared to the early days, there were many QoL improvements, but many adventurers still feel fatigued

- Fatigue also increased as decks diversified; we are continuously looking into QoL enhancements

· Regarding Hero Ban/Pick in Real-Time Arena

- We felt team synergy was key in Seven Knights Re:BIRTH and the hero pool was narrow

- Now that the hero pool has expanded sufficiently, we plan to consider it

· Plans to add a Practice Mode for Total War?

- We will look into allowing practice without having to move to Arena

· Regarding equipment situation posing a barrier for new/returning users

- A system to properly recommend gear suitable for heroes and help set desired stats is currently in the planning stage

· Plans to add a 6-Star Legendary Accessory Exchange Ticket usable once per month?

- Hard to give a definitive answer, but it will be discussed

· Will there be expansions for equipment slots and warehouse hero slots?

- Equipment slots will be expanded; we will look into warehouse hero slots

· Shortening minigame ticket recharge time?

- Since it pertains to balance, discussion is needed

· Adding sinks for surplus currencies like Awakening Stones?

- We will continuously monitor and take action if needed
