July 28 Update: Syl & Enemy Fixes

The Bell Echoes has released the July 28 update patch.

This update adjusts the damage rules of several enemies in the Chapter 4 Corrupted Zone 【Lava Volcano】, strengthens the 【Wet】 reaction and related effects for 【Syl】, and fixes several issues involving disabled equipment and the 【Giant Sandworm】.

Tutorial text, tutorial videos, and the English localization have also received further improvements.

【Lava Volcano】 Enemy Mechanic Adjustments

The damage rules of several enemies in the Chapter 4 Corrupted Zone 【Lava Volcano】 have been adjusted.

The relevant damage effects previously only affected player units. They now affect all units on the battlefield, regardless of faction.

The following enemies are affected:

• 【Riftmouth Salamander】

• 【Molten Spike Cluster】 passive effect

• 【Blazing Millipede】

• 【Explosive Lizard King】 passive effect

This adjustment allows these enemy effects to interact more naturally with other units, collisions, and area damage on the battlefield.

Syl Adjustments

【Wet】 Effect Strengthened

The damage bonus triggered by 【Wet】 when receiving non-Waterflow Damage has been increased.

Before:

【Wet】: Can be triggered by non-Waterflow Damage. When triggered, that damage +25%, then 【Wet】 stacks -1. Maximum 3 stacks.

After:

【Wet】: Can be triggered by non-Waterflow Damage. When triggered, that damage +50%, then 【Wet】 stacks -1. Maximum 3 stacks.

Talent 【Tidal Resonance】 Adjustment

The effects of each level of 【Tidal Resonance】 have been adjusted.

Before:

• Damage bonus triggered by 【Wet】 +15%

• Damage bonus triggered by 【Wet】 +25%

• Damage bonus triggered by 【Wet】 +30%, Critical Rate +30%

After:

• Damage bonus triggered by 【Wet】 +15%

• Damage bonus triggered by 【Wet】 +30%

• Damage bonus triggered by 【Wet】 +50%, Critical Rate +25%

【Water Source Resonance】 Skill Insight Adjustment

Before:

【Water Source Resonance】 can target an allied unit. It no longer generates a 【Waterflow Orb】, and the ally gains 5 【Water Energy】.

After:

【Water Source Resonance】 can target an allied unit, treating that ally as immediately coming into contact with a 【Waterflow Orb】.

The selected ally will now trigger all effects related to coming into contact with a 【Waterflow Orb】, instead of only gaining a fixed amount of 【Water Energy】.

Bug Fixes

Fixed Disabled Equipment Appearing in Shops

Fixed an issue where disabled equipment could still appear in the 【Mysterious Guild】 during Corrupted Zone runs.

Disabled equipment will no longer appear in Corrupted Zone shops.

Fixed 【Giant Sandworm】 Berserk State Issue

Fixed an issue involving the devour mechanic during the 【Berserk State】 of the lower-floor boss 【Giant Sandworm】 in the Desert Plains.

The 【Giant Sandworm】 will now correctly deal damage when spitting out a swallowed player unit.
