【March 2026 Developer Note #2】 Frey Skill Balance Update

First, thank you to everyone who participated in the CBT recruitment and shared feedback across our community channels.

Today, we’d like to clarify the confusion caused by the differences between the previous Developer Note and Frey’s in-game skill changes.

We sincerely apologize for the confusion.

Q. Why were Frey’s skills in the CBT different from the Developer Note?

A. During the 1st CBT, Frey’s in-game skills did not match the details shared in the Developer Note, which understandably caused confusion.

We’d like to explain what happened and how we’re addressing it moving forward.

■ Initial Direction: “A burst healer”

Our goal was to help players quickly experience the impact of the new combat system.

As a core starter hero responsible for party survival, Frey was initially redesigned as a burst healer with a powerful burst skill.

■ Internal Testing: “This doesn’t feel like Frey”

During internal testing, we found that this direction strayed too far from Frey’s original identity and playstyle.

We then shifted direction and redesigned her as a shield-based healer with 50% uptime.

■ 1st CBT Issue: Build mismatch The issue occurred due to a mismatch between the Developer Note and the actual game build.

While the Developer Note reflected the finalized version with 50% shield uptime, the CBT client still contained the earlier version.

This was a mistake in our build management and review process, and we sincerely apologize.

In addition, one of the most common pieces of feedback from the 1st CBT was that Frey’s shield was difficult to use effectively and that her healing timing felt inconsistent.

We are currently reviewing shield values, healing, and cooldowns across all heroes based on this feedback.

Below, you can preview Frey’s updated skills that will be available in the 2nd CBT.

Thank you for your continued support. We will continue working to improve King’s Raid.
