Maintenance Schedule Update



We're changing this up a bit maintenance-wise to help you guys get some more Eternal Return time.

The new maintenance schedule will be as follows:
Every other Wednesday 19:00 ~ 22:00 (PT)

We've also updated our internal server structure, allowing us to apply minor updates or hotfixes without maintenance. Minor patches, previously used for small balance adjustments and bug fixes, well now go live on Mondays, but will not require a maintenance.

Minor patches will still contain things like:
- Adjustments to new Character/Items
- Adjustments for existing Characters/Items that were vastly overperforming.

In addition to the maintenance free updates, we can also apply hotfixes anytime for game breaking bugs or grossly overperforming characters.

We hope this schedule change is for the better for you all! Please note that the current update schedule is not final and is still subject to change in the (possibly near) future.

Earning top marks in her school's archery club, Rio is ready to prove she's the real deal.



She prepares and fires her arrows with flawless precision and poise.
Let's just hope you aren't on the receiving end of it.



Being a master of the martial art of Kyudo, you can bet she'll never miss her mato.

A video preview for Rio skills will premiere on Tuesday, June 8th, 01:00 AM (PT) only on the official Eternal Return YouTube!

Stream now with Rio on our official YouTube channel!

[h2]Auto Attack(s)[/h2]

Bow



[h2]Passive: Hassetsu[/h2]



Rio's normal attacks and skills ignore some of her enemies' defense based on her critical strike chance. Rio's normal attacks can't critically strike but deal increased damage. Her normal attack damage is increased based on her critical strike chance and skill amplification.

[h2]Kyudo Instinct (Q)[/h2]


Passive: Normal attacks or skills grant her a stack of Flow. Upon reaching a certain number of stacks, dealing damage with Rio's next normal attack or skill triggers an effect depending on her current bow.



Hankyu: Rio's movement speed and attack speed is increased for a short time.



Daikyu: Rio's normal attacks deal more damage based on her target's missing HP and slow them.

Toggle: Rio switches between her Hankyu and Daikyu



Hankyu: 2 arrows are fired with each normal attack.
Daikyu: 1 powerful arrow is fired with each normal attack.

[h2]Hanare (W)[/h2]

[h3]Hankyu[/h3]




Rio fires arrows in a cone shape, dealing damage to enemies in range. A breeze is created at the site where targets were hit, slowing them.

[h3]Daikyu[/h3]




Rio fires a single arrow in the targeted direction, dealing damage to enemies hit and to enemies behind the target in a cone shape. Hitting enemies reduces the cooldown of Hanare.

[h2]Soar (E)[/h2]



[h3]Hankyu[/h3]


Rio lunges into the targeted direction, firing 2 arrows at enemies in range and dealing damage. Hitting an enemy reduces the cooldown of Soar.

[h3]Daikyu[/h3]


Rio jumps into the targeted direction, firing 1 arrow at enemies in range, dealing damage to them and around the target. Hitting an enemy reduces the cooldown of Soar.


[h2]Fleeting Soul/Spirit Arrow (R)[/h2]

[h3]Hankyu[/h3]




Rio fires 3 arrows in the targeted direction, dealing damage per arrow and reducing the cooldown of Fleeting Soul/Spirit Arrow. After firing 2 arrows, she fires an extra arrow, dealing damage and knocking enemies back. Enemies knocked into a wall are stunned.

[h3]Daikyu[/h3]




Rio channels and fires an arrow in the targeted direction, dealing damage to enemies hit and slowing them. After firing, the arrow's speed and damage increases.
