  1. New Features in the game

  • Platinum Tier Matchmaking

An exclusive matchmaking feature available only to players who have reached the Platinum Tier in the Arena has been added.

This feature consumes more Gold than a standard search, but the matchmaking range is adjusted to search for opponents strictly within the Platinum Tier.

※ This feature will be activated once the Platinum Tier rankings are established for the top 200 players.

  • Bond Preview

A preview feature has been added to Codex - Bond, allowing you to freely try out Bond Skills.

You can use this feature even if you do not own the characters required to activate the Bond.

  1. In-Game Changes

8-1. Heal Skill Effect Adjustments

  • Overheal Effect Added

When an instant healing skill (excluding Healing Over Time, Life Steal, etc.) restores HP beyond Max HP, 35% of the excess healing is granted as a Shield. This Shield bypasses Buff Block effects.

※ The HP recovery from the Healing Set is categorized as instant healing, not a healing-over-time buff, and thus the aforementioned Overheal effect will apply. (The total healing amount remains the same as before.)

  • Instant Healing Effect Adjustments

The healing amount of instant healing skills (excluding Healing Over Time, Life Steal, etc.) has been increased by approximately 20% compared to before.

8-2. Weakness System Added

Some bosses (e.g., Tower Boss Kaliya) have weaknesses to specific debuffs.

Even if a boss is immune to a certain debuff, if that debuff is their specific weakness, inflicting it will accumulate Weakness Exposure instead of applying the actual debuff.

Each time you attempt to inflict a Weakness Debuff, Weakness Exposure keeps stacking up based on the debuff's trigger rate.

The damage dealt to the boss is permanently increased until the end of the battle based on how much Weakness Exposure you've stacked up.

  1. Improvements and bug fixes

└ Added visual effects to 5 types of buffs/debuffs. (Stealth, Blood Bond, Blood Mark, Vulnerable to Burn, Vulnerable to Bleeding)

└ Added a Notice shortcut button to the main Lobby screen.

└ Added a frame function to profile.

└ Fixed an issue where the number of Promotion Certificate: Grade 1 was not displaying at the top of the Grade 1 tab in the Upgrade All.

└ Fixed an issue where guaranteed debuffs failed to apply correctly due to being inadvertently affected by chance-reduction effects.

└ Revised typos and awkward expressions in some languages.

Thank you.
