1. Character Balance Adjustment

Developer's Notes:

We have been examining damage output when characters are equipped with best gear, in the newest raid battle via Battle Circuit, and in Space Time Distortion battles.

 

From this data, we’ve calculated the strength of skilled players for each combat type, weapon, and skill type used. This is the same foundation we used for the last character balance update in September.

 

In recent character balances, we've tried to avoid disappointing nerfs for players. Unfortunately, we're forced to apply some nerfs in this patch to address some overpowered characters. In future balances, we'll be more careful and meticulous to make sure that this isn’t necessary.

 

■ Letty

- Increased the damage of the following attacks by 8%:

: Trooper: Crushing Blow

: Trooper: Twisting Blow

: Trooper: Piercing Strike

: Trooper: Storm Smite

 

- Increased the damage of the following attacks by 10%:

: Kradie Blast

: Kradie Burst

: Active: Beautiful Blaze (additional attack)

: Active: Firecracker (bombardment)

: Active: Letty Bomba

Developer's Notes:

Letty is underperforming in both Space Time Distortion and Battle Circuit, based on current data. As we've been slowly buffing characters across the board, Letty's position is currently below average in almost every battle, so we're increasing the damage of her primary skills.

 

■ Latiya

- Increased the damage of the following attack by 5%:

: Eagle Stab

 

- Decreased the damage of the following attack by 15%:

: Rhino Rush

Developer's Notes:

Latiya's damage is currently very high in Space Time Distortion, especially in the Hall of Fallen Knights battle. We've adjusted the damage of her Rhino Rush skill to make it more balanced. On the other hand, we've found it to be appropriate in Battle Circuit, so we've adjusted the damage of her Eagle Stab skill to offset a potential decrease of her performance in Battle Circuit if we only adjust Rhino Rush.

 

■ Hurk - Greatsword

- Increased the damage of the following attacks by 10%:

: Crescent

: Execute

 

- Decreased the damage of the following attack by 5%:

: Active: Ultimatum

Developer's Notes:

Hurk with the Greatsword has been observed to be in the right place in Battle Circuit, but weak in Space Time Distortion. To address this, we're increasing the damage of Crescent and Execute, which take up a higher percentage of his damage in Space Time Distortion. We’re also slightly decreasing the damage of Ultimatum, which makes up a higher percentage of his damage in Battle Circuit, to prevent him from being overpowered there.

 

■ Lann - Twin Swords

- Decreased the damage of the following attack by 5%:

: Double Crescent

: Gust Sting

: Active: Radical Fever

 

- Adjusted Sharp's Critical Rate Increase effect to 15%.

- Adjusted Furious's Critical Rate Increase effect to 15%.

 

■ Lann - Twin Spears

- Adjusted Fury Infusion's Critical Hit activation probabilities per rank as follows:

: Rank E: 10%

: Rank D: 11%

: Rank C: 12%

: Rank B: 13%

: Rank A: 14%

: Rank 9: 15%

Developer's Notes:

We've gotten a lot of feedback from people saying that Lann can have 7% less Critical Rate. Because Lann is very dependent on Crit compared to other characters, adjusting this make it difficult for characters with lower stats to make use of the skill, so we will continue to observe and consider additional changes after the update.

 

Lann with Twin Swords is currently performing at the top end of both Circuit and Space Time Distortion. As a result, we're toning down some of his skills.

 

■ Tessa

- Increased damage of Moonstone's brand by 8%.

- Slightly increased Active: Swan Song's hitbox range.

 

■ Kael

- Increased the damage of the following attacks by 10%:

: Guardian's Blade: Strike

: Red Hawk Crush

: Active: Resistance Unchained

Developer's Notes:

Tessa and Kael have been underperforming in both Circuit and Space Time Distortion, so we're buffing their primary skills. We've heard that Tessa's suppression skill, Active: Swan Song, is often missed, so we've slightly increased its range.

Developer's Notes:

To improve the gameplay experience of battling boss monsters,

Hero+ mode boss monsters add new challenges such as suppression immunity, stun immunity, and more.

 

We also designed the departure count to use twice as much, and reward twice as much, to reduce the stress of needing to play the Battle Circuit twice as much, which is the typical gameplay pattern.

We didn't differentiate between the reward types because we felt that Hero+ should be an option rather than a requirement.

 

However, Hero+ is designed to be more challenging, so we believe more experienced parties will find it more efficient.

We also designed the boss stats to be the same as in normal mode, except for their ATT and HP, so that player progression isn’t too impeded.

We will continue to improve the game’s content to make your experiences as fun as possible.

 

- When you depart for battle in Hero+ mode, the following changes will apply:

: Added additional attack animations for boss monsters that appear in The Winds of Lochlann, The Sanctuary of Reconstruction, and Grave of Swords, and changed their combat patterns slightly.

- Departing for battle in Hero+ mode will disband summoned pets and comrades.

- Added one title per battle that can be earned in Hero+ mode battles.

Battle Name

Title Name

The Winds of Lochlann

Title: Ruler of the Last Wind

The Sanctuary of Reconstruction

Title: Ah... Is my life flashing before my eyes?

Grave of Swords

Title: Jump! Jump! Dodge!

 

■ Special Dungeon

- The list of battles available for departure will no longer be on rotation. You can now depart for all battles at all times.

- Departure count limits will be enforced on a weekly basis. The number of available departures resets every Saturday at 7AM.

: Departure Licenses and Resenlian's Battle Completion Scrolls will also be available in Special Dungeons as before.

- You will be able to depart for Special Dungeons via Battle Circuit.

- Special Dungeon's main loot drop rates will be increased

 

Developer's Notes:

Special Dungeons that you needed to complete daily will be changed to complete once a week, at a time of your choosing.

You will be able to depart for the 3 Special Dungeons via Battle Circuit at once.

 

As this reduces the total departure count of the Special Dungeons,

we have increased the drop rate of the main loot such as the Special Dungeon: Enchant Pouch, Superior Masterpiece Bracelet Box, etc. by at least 2x.

 

■ Etc.

- Fixed the issue in The Winds of Lochlann where the player would get stuck on the map when evading while fighting the boss.

Developer's Notes:

We are assuming that a lot of you are wondering when the Ancient Title Destiny Box will be added and updated.

The Ancient Title Destiny Box was supposed to be added after reviewing titles that are no longer available due to their associated feats being removed, or titles that had been in events in years prior, but this did not go according to plan.

 

In the future, we will consider updating titles when they are no longer obtainable due to game changes, or when their events are over 6 months old.

However, please note that some titles may have exceptions, such as adjusting the update timing based on our internal review.

We'll continue to listen to your feedback over time, and work towards making quicker updates.

- If the title has a "permanent effect" that can be obtained, its description will now indicate that effect.

- Changed the required count to obtain the following titles:

Developer's Notes:

There are disparities in the amount of titles and stats that each character can obtain, so this is intended to balance that.

However, there are a lot of factors to consider while sifting through the data, such as the 2nd weapons of each character, so we've focused on STR and INT stats first. We will continue to work on this matter to ensure that the number of titles available for each character and their stats do not become unbalanced.

 

 

4. Etc.

- The following categories of items can now be traded via Mail.

: Airtight Outfit Set

: Airtight Back, Tail, and Object

: Airtight Pet and Comrade

Developer's Notes:

Outfit sets and some airtight boxes could be traded, but only limited to the Marketplace. That made it inconvenient to trade them directly. Therefore, we added the convenience of mail trade outside of the Marketplace.

 

We are always trying to provide an ever-better Vindictus experience.

Thank you!
