New System: Your Background

Now, when creating a character, you can choose a 'Background' that determines the protagonist's origin and past. The direction of your mercenary group will change depending on the past you choose.

Background and Current Choices

Choose one of the three branches extending from your past. You will obtain additional items depending on your choice.

• Background-Based Character Stats Setup: Characters' available talents are now somewhat aligned with their backgrounds. This resolves the issue where players had to spend an excessive amount of time re-rolling characters just to get good talents.

  

Balance Adjustments

We have adjusted the balance to improve player convenience and ensure more reasonable combat on the battlefield.

• AdjustedTrait Activation Conditions ChangedThe activation condition for traits that previously required reaching a certain level of 'Endurance' has been changed to 'Maximum HP'.
• AdjustedPapal States Equipment AdjustmentsSome equipment from the Papal States had excessively high prices, so their prices and performance have been adjusted.
• AdjustedAI Difficulty AdjustmentThe proficiency and stats that the AI gains per level have been lowered to reduce combat fatigue.

UI / UX

• FixedSquad Movement Speed StabilizationFixed an issue so that the player's squad moves at a constant, smooth speed when moving across tiles.

• Camera Work Polishing: Polished camera movement transitions in various situations to be smoother and more immersive.

System Optimization

• Chat Widget Optimization: Limited the maximum number of chat logs in the battle HUD and optimized it to improve stability.
