The game is far from perfect in its current state, so we will continue iterating and optimizing across all aspects. Features such as out-of-game content, seasonal gameplay, and new modes require relatively longer time for validation and development. We should be able to deliver some results in the first half of this year and will keep sharing development progress with everyone!

Recently, we've received much feedback about feeling "out of control" during combat. To refine the core combat experience, we're planning a comprehensive optimization of the game's fundamental combat element—the skill system.

(Schematic diagram, not final)

Below are the design directions we're currently polishing (not representing final results):

First, several pain points in current gameplay:

  1. Lack of core差异化 characteristics between different characters

  2. Skill acquisition relies too heavily on RNG in early stages, while polluting the shop pool in later stages

  3. Some skills are difficult to control in combat (since players cannot directly control the character, leading to insufficient actual control over certain skills)

To address these issues, we have corresponding solutions:

  1. The new skill system will emphasize differentiation, guiding different characters to build playstyles based on available skills, along with more character-exclusive items to enhance distinctiveness

  2. Replace the synthesis mechanic with a "skill upgrade system," allowing players to advance skills through between-round events, enhancing their effects and forms

  3. Develop new skill types. When opponents release specific threats (such as super armor or powerful attacks), you'll have more flexible means to respond, adding more psychological gameplay to combat
