Dear players,

We are continuing to roll out small updates based on your feedback.

This update focuses on:

Combo System Rework

We have fully reworked the combo system. The following five combo cards are now retained as the core combo set:

• 【Exploit the Opening】

• 【Unexpected Strike】

• 【Forceful Breakthrough】

• 【Wristbreaker Uppercut】

• 【Diagonal Guard Break】

Combo Damage Adjustments

Combo cards of different rarities now use fixed base damage values:

25 / 40 / 60 / 85 / 110

Debuff System Rework

Combo cards now consistently apply dedicated debuffs:

• 【Exploit the Opening】 → Critical Rate -5%

• 【Unexpected Strike】 → Lifesteal -5%

• 【Forceful Breakthrough】 → Damage Output -10%

• 【Wristbreaker Uppercut】 → Parry -5%

• 【Diagonal Guard Break】 → Defense -20%

At the same time:

• Normal skill cards no longer apply debuffs

• All debuffs can stack up to 5 layers

• Debuffs now last for the entire battle

Combat & Balance Improvements

• Reduced grunt enemy HP and shield values by 10%

• Increased Zhang Fei’s survivability: Zhang Fei’s maximum HP in battle is now 3x the current Mood value

• Fixed an issue where bounty target levels in dungeon challenges did not correctly match the current level

UI & Feedback Improvements

• The UI iteration project has officially begun Some inventory interface elements have already been replaced

• Different item rarities now play different audio cues when discovered

• Added audio feedback for stat increases/decreases and quest completion

Animation & Audio Improvements
