July 6 Update: WASD & Stat Adjustments

The Bell Echoes has released the July 6 update patch.

This update adds WASD movement support outside of combat, and adjusts the 【Technique】 and 【Luck】 attributes. In addition, we have fixed several issues related to equipment, talents, and enemy mechanics.

Control Experience Improvement

WASD Movement Added Outside of Combat

Players can now use the keyboard WASD keys to control character movement on the map outside of combat.

Attribute Adjustments

【Technique】 Attribute Adjustment

The effect of the 【Technique】 attribute has been adjusted.

This adjustment affects both player units and enemy units.

Before adjustment:

Each 1 point of Technique grants Critical Rate +1%.

After adjustment:

Each 1 point of Technique grants Critical Rate +1.5%, and reduces the enemy’s Block Damage Reduction by 1%. The initial Block Damage Reduction is 50%.

【Luck】 Attribute Adjustment

The effect of the 【Luck】 attribute has been adjusted.

This adjustment affects both player units and enemy units.

Before adjustment:

Each 1 point of Luck grants Critical Resistance +1%.

After adjustment:

Each 1 point of Luck grants Critical Resistance +1% and Critical Damage +1%.

Equipment Adjustment and Fix

Legendary Armor 【Life Impact Boots】 Adjustment

Fixed an issue where the additional damage from the Legendary Armor 【Life Impact Boots】 was lower than intended.

At the same time, the additional damage value of this equipment affix has been increased.

Before adjustment:

After the wearer causes knockback displacement to an enemy, additionally deals Physical True Damage equal to 15% of the wearer’s Max HP.

After adjustment:

After the wearer causes knockback displacement to an enemy, additionally deals Physical True Damage equal to 20% of the wearer’s Max HP.

Chris Talent Fix

Rare Talent 【Hunter’s Domain Pursuit】 Fix

Fixed an issue with the visual effect display of the area of effect for Chris’s Rare Talent 【Hunter’s Domain Pursuit】.

Also fixed an issue where, when the character was at height 2 or above, the talent’s area of effect would still remain at 2 Range.

【Hunter’s Domain Pursuit】 effect:

While under the 【Soul Hunt Mark】 state, gains an area of effect equal to the character’s height. When an enemy within the area is forcibly displaced, automatically performs a ranged attack against that enemy, dealing 50% potency (Strength) Physical Damage.

Bug Fixes

Fixed Ice Cavern Guardian Battle Flow Issue

Fixed an issue where the Ice Cavern Guardian could fail to properly revert after becoming 【Disguised Boulder (Object)】, causing the battle to be unable to end normally.

Thank you all for your feedback on the new version.

We will continue to optimize control experience, the attribute system, character builds, and overall battle flow based on your gameplay experience.
