[Updates] Patch Notes - August 25, 2021

Nova

Dev Note Adjustments were made to aspects of Nova’s performance. Previously, you could move freely even with a relatively low amount of stamina thanks to the stamina recovery effect of Swooping Ring and by using certain skill movements that consumed no stamina, especially in awakening state. During the early stages of awakening, you were only strong for PvP while in Accel mode, so this served the purpose of providing an enhanced utility by alleviating the restrictions for using many skills. However, additional updates, including improvements made to skill combos for many skills, made her more powerful than we initially aimed for, especially when you were not in Accel mode. Since a small adjustment seemed necessary, the consumable resource for “Twisted Orbit” was changed from SP to Stamina so that Novas would have to take care in using the skill. Additionally, “Star’s Ring,” one of the major awakening skills in a PvP setting, already performs exceptionally well on its own in a majority of battles. However, “Fuse Gravity” allowed for excessive use of Star's Breath Recovery when the skill comboed with other skills such as “En Garde.” Therefore, Star's Breath recovered via Fuse Gravity was adjusted to 5%.

• Nerf Fuse Gravity Reduced the recovery of Star's Breath from 10% to 5% per scattered star when using the skill. 🔗
• Rework Twisted Orbit, Accel: Twisted Orbit Changed the consumable resource for the skills to the following: Before After Consumes 30 SP upon using skill Consumes 50 Stamina upon using skill, 100 Stamina upon using skill during cooldown 🔗

Sage

Dev Note There were adjustments made to the performance of awakened Sages in addition to awakened Novas. First of all, using "Bolt" would make your character Invincible and disappear from sight, then allow you to proceed to attack right away with another skill to overcome your enemy. These features were relatively too powerful. Accordingly, adjustments were made so that your character will no longer disappear when using "Bolt," and the Invincible effect was changed to a Super Armor effect. Additionally, the Critical Hit Rate +100% effect was deemed too advantageous in a multi-versus-multi battle, so the effect was removed. You are still able to maintain quite a high critical hit rate without it through other buffs or skill add-ons.
