April 30 Update Preview

New Hero Omok, Buffs for Rin and Luri

The broadcast also provided a preview of this week's update. First, the Magic-type hero Omok will be introduced. Omok is expected to join as a 'Jin-s' (special/exclusive) hero with Korean-themed elements. An event scenario for Omok will also begin. Additionally, existing heroes Rin and Luri will receive buffs, and improvements will be made to Guild Wars and the Synthesis Wish system.

✅ April 30 Update Preview

· New Hero: Omok

- The final member of the Night Crow, led by Teo

- A 'Jin-s' hero designed with Korean aesthetic elements and skills to match the theme

- Magic-type hero suitable for magic-based decks

- Capable of granting special survival skills to allies while possessing high firepower

· Rin & Luri Buffs

- Rin: Weakened due to counters against 'Confusion'; receiving buffs to survival skills and a debuff to lower enemy weakness attacks. Synergy with the Yorang pet is expected

- Luri: Lost her position as a Siege Defense magic dealer. This was unintended, so her damage will be increased to exceed Sun Wukong's DPS

- Separately, since Nata is a 'Jin-s' grade hero, her peak performance will remain higher than Luri's even after the buff

· Guild War Improvements

- Separating Minor and Major leagues; Major league adjustments focus on increased rewards

- Minor league accessibility enhanced with 3 attack opportunities and 3 defense decks

- Minor league rewards will also be significant

- Aware of fatigue issues for top-tier guilds; considering further schedule adjustments based on feedback

· Synthesis Wish List Improvements

- Added (Old) Seven Knights wish setting system

- Added guaranteed gauge for (Old) Seven Knights following the introduction of 'Jin-s' and 'Jap-s' heroes

· Real-time Arena

- Global integrated matching with the start of the regular season; transitioning to a permanent content

- Rewards include 'Duelist's Guide' costume, border, and Memory Essence

· Lu Bu Legend Costume

- Release of 'Crimson Sprint' legendary costume

· Family Month Event

- Two events running for one week each, with various rewards planned

Awakening System Preview

Exclusive Equipment system also scheduled for update

Information on Awakening was also shared. The Awakening image for Sylvesta was revealed, along with explanations of the design intent. Following Sylvesta, an Awakening resource for Dellons with adjusted proportions was shown. The accompanying video featured Dellons' critical hit and skill animations. Beyond 'Jin-s' heroes, Awakening forms for the standard Legendary hero Knox and Rare hero Ariel were also previewed.

The Awakening system was partially unveiled. It will be added to the hero growth menu, requiring players to complete hero-specific missions and consume Awakening Stones. Awakening will require certain hero growth conditions. Alongside Awakening, an Exclusive Equipment system will be added; opening these slots, which are separate from existing equipment, will require 6-star heroes as materials. Awakening and Exclusive Equipment are scheduled for the May 28 update, with detailed information to follow in a future content note.

Real-time Live Q&A

1st Anniversary broadcast scheduled for late May

The 1st-anniversary live broadcast is planned for late May. The developers stated they scheduled it for late May to incorporate feedback following the Awakening update, and noted that the 1st-anniversary event will begin in mid-May. Anniversary-themed costumes, portraits, and borders will be updated, and various merchandise will be produced. The merchandise will not be sold but will be given away to adventurers via a raffle during the anniversary broadcast.

Finally, a real-time live Q&A was held. Today's session covered various topics, including the modification of rewards for repeated Raid Level 9 requests, future distribution of Accessory Restoration Tickets, and questions regarding heroes, including (Old) Seven Knights.

✅ Real-time Live Q&A

· 1st Anniversary Reward Inquiry

- Considering rewards equivalent to a festival; currently under discussion. We will ensure the rewards are satisfactory

· Raid Level 9 Repeated Request Reward Modification

- This should have been announced in advance; we apologize for the oversight

- We intended for these to be obtainable across various content, but observed players farming lower-difficulty raids, which was unintended. We determined that repeated participation in low-grade raids hinders growth

- We will prepare to make essences obtainable through various content other than raids

- For raids, we are considering lowering the EXP gain. We believe there is a misalignment with the direction where 'fodder farming' is for adventure and 'equipment farming' is for raids. We will announce after sufficient discussion

· Accessory Restoration Ticket

- Will have a very long expiration date and can only be used for 6-star accessories

- Prepared for users who felt discouraged by failed 6-star legendary accessory crafting; alternatively, it may be changed to a 5-star legendary accessory selector

- One ticket will be provided for the 1st anniversary

· Increase in Honor Acquisition

- Will review this promptly

· Regarding (Old) Seven Knights

- Considering combinations or uses for surplus (Old) Seven Knights

- New (Old) Seven Knights will take time; expected to appear after the Awakening of existing (Old) Seven Knights

- We will buff existing (Old) Seven Knights before introducing new ones

· Tower of Ordeal Border Deletion

- As content providing borders increases, we plan to add other rewards instead of borders

· Sudden Raid: Leonid appearing 4 times in a row

- Unintended; we are preparing to prevent the same raid from appearing repeatedly

· Additional Info on Exclusive Equipment System

- Will be introduced alongside Awakening via a content note

· When will Cheok Jung-gyeong join

- You will be able to meet him eventually once the scenario reaches the Korean timeline

· Are there plans to buff new pets

- We are aware that preference for pets other than Zeo is low, but we are approaching this cautiously due to the existence of older pets and potential financial burden on players

· Infinite Tower Expansion Plans

- Will proceed according to the schedule. It is currently in progress; we will announce details in the next broadcast or developer note

· Maximum Sudden Raid Ticket Capacity

- We will check this quickly and make improvements

· Real-time Arena Hero Ban Tier Expansion

- Considering directions such as lowering the tier for reward costume acquisition or adjusting bans

· Additional Benefits for Guild Managers

- Exclusive emoticons will be updated, and we will add honorable rewards

· Equipment Inventory Space Issue

- We want to provide more space, but there is a database load issue. We are aware of the inconvenience caused by the expansion of equipment-providing content and will discuss it closely with the development team

· Request for additional attack motions in PV

- Considering adding basic attack and critical hit motions in line with Awakening. We plan to make the hero's narrative felt

· Legendary Costume Re-release Inquiry

- No plans to resell legendary costumes yet

· Regarding Baek-ryong's voice acting

- We confirmed that it caused disappointment, so we will re-record and hold a vote

· Pet Potential System Improvement

- We are working on increasing the acquisition of materials

· Will there be gender-bent (TS) legendary costumes for male characters

- We will proceed with various concepts beyond just gender-bending

· Plans for Yeonhee buffs

- We believe she is a good hero in terms of lore. We will proceed by buffing the hero who receives the most votes in the official lounge

· Nata shop selling price

- She is a good hero, but because Luri exists, it is difficult to adjust her hastily

· Counterattack System Improvement

- We configured it differently from the original, but we are aware that counterattack preference is low. We will review it

· Kagura motion bug

- Scheduled for fix

· Plans for additional content

- We are planning PvP content through Guild War rotations; for PvE, we are planning roguelite-style content or content that uses multiple heroes at once.
