03/14 Patch Notes - Revision Balance Patch, Secret Dungeon Adjustments
13 March 2024
Maintenance
Duration: 7:00 AM ~ 10:30 AM KST (3h30)
Developer Notes
Through the maintenance, Secret Dungeon ED acquisition and patterns will be adjusted along with the revision balance patch.
Firstly, the ED reward announced through the 02/15 patch notes will take effect today.
We will continue adjusting the value as necessary to provide a stable gaming environment.
Also, based on the opinions provided by adventurers, we made changes to patterns that caused excessive fatigue.
The revision balance patch is based on the current play data.
Changes to character skills are implemented to complement the previous balance patches and the awakening system improvement.
We put emphasis on skills that caused inconveniences after the patch.
The characters subject to the next balance patch on Thursday, April 25 are Eve, Rose, Laby and Noah.

2 | 1M | 10M | 10M |
3 | 2.5M | 20M | 14M |

Well, ig Aras will just have do deal w it.
i'm... not a fan of at least one Anemos change.
seems like it would be a great time to introduce mod b skills. a lot of animations and attack patterns would be really missed and would be good cash bait, c'mon devs.
There will be no Mod (B) skills, "A" stands for "alternate", it's not a numbering system.
If they ever made other versions of Mod Skills, maybe they can use a word with a similar meaning? Like "change", "different", etc.
or go with how pokemon did it reversion /B (beta) as in the very unrefined powerful but dangerous version of the skill
I don't think they'd do that. With "A" meaning "alternate", I doubt they'd use a Greek letter for "B" or any other letter.
¯ _(ツ)_/ ¯ ... I mean the SD didn't need the nerfs, they are soooo easy since a long time ago even in luto.. Now they will be even more boring to do...
Tbh, I feel these nerfs are more about making the dungeons less annoying to run. I'm personally happy that they made these changes. Especially Wally's Lab, having to deal with that shield when you have no allies of the opposite damage type can be a real pain if you're not OP.
i like them, but i kinda wish these changes were made long ago before they became post-varni cp locked. i think a lot of players could stand/would have been willing to be playing these places more even with raised damage and defense is this was done then.
ah, but it looks like Joaquin and Rage Trock were left unchanged tho.
I agree that it would have been nice if these changes came sooner, but I think the main reason SDs weren't being run back then was lacking rewards. As soon as they were no longer required for Transcendence, the queues for them practically died.
Hallucination and Rage are fine in my opinion. Yeah, Joaquin's shield is a little annoying, but he doesn't attack you while it's up and you can attack him to charge up your MP in the meantime. As for Rage, the Shadows he summons drop some really useful items.
