11/22 Balance Update Note
[System Adjustments]
We hoped that raising the level cap would give existing players goals for growth while also improving the experience for new players. However, we adjusted the system because the changes only widened the gap between existing and new players and had no effect on new players’ experience.
HP/Attack increase per level has been adjusted.
The maximum difference between level 1 and 15 has been decreased from 70% to 50%.
- Upgrades from level 1 to 9: +4% per level
- Upgrades from level 10 to 15: +3% per level
Values for Abilities and Enchantments have also been changed according to system adjustments.

Enchantment Values
The original Enchantment values were designed to increase in proportion to the stat increase per level.
Enchantment values have also been adjusted to reflect the increase in stats per level and the maximum increase amount.
- Aggression: Damage increase amount reduced. 15% → 10%
- Fortitude: Max HP increase amount reduced. 15% → 10%
- Relentless Lightning: Damage on activation decreased. 1200 → 800
- Relentless Lightning: Changed so that Ultimate gauge will not charge when the effect is activated.
Players who already own Enchantments that have been affected by this change will receive the following compensation when they log in following the maintenance.
