Chrono Ark EA v1.5 Beta 3 is here!


Hello, Fellow Arkers!
Chrono Ark EA v1.5 Beta 3 is here!


Hahaha! Mighty Phoenix is back!

You have been waiting a long time for this.
We have been working on Phoenix's mechanics for a while now, almost like creating a new character.
Now fasten up and enjoy the playthrough with "Phoenix, the Legendary Bird"!

Phoenix has undergone big changes with added unique features.
All of Phoenix's traits remain the same. Phoenix still cannot die, but has returned with a normal health bar!
Phoenix now uses Health to measure his hunger but doesn't utilize a Healing Gauge.
Also, Phoenix has a new fixed ability, 'Phoenix's Might'.

You can now link Phoenix's attack skills with others to activate chain effects.

Phoenix can now throw Bread at enemies!



Improvements
  • We have created various special skill traits used by enemies.
    Currently, we have only added one of the special traits to Pharos Warrior's Lacerate.

    - Special enemy skills will now be displayed like the image above, which will allow you to plan on receiving incoming enemy attacks.
    - The previous Pharos skill 'Chained Slash' would target a random character. Now, Lacerate 'Attacks the enemy with the lowest remaining health. If successful, also attack the enemy with the highest remaining health.'
    - We will keep adding special traits to various monsters including bosses.
  • You can now check other skills mentioned in skill descriptions by pressing Shift.
  • 2 New Equipment and 4 New Relics have been added.

    - There are 2 new Equipment and 1 new Relic related to critical strike. 3 Relics have an immediate effect after you place them on the Relic Display Stand but they cannot be removed.
  • The Relic effect of Quick Focus has been changed. Quick Focus now reduces Count by 1.
  • Some of Lucy's Skills have been nerfed.
  • New skill effects have been added.


Bug Fixes and Balancing
  • Fixed a bug where Silverstein's 'Snipe' skill could target freely.
  • Fixed a bug where the 'remove basic skills' option automatically removed a skill even when the amount of skills you have is low.
  • Narhan's 'Trauma' now targets all enemies instead of a single enemy and lasts for 2 -> 4 turns.
  • Charon's Attack Power has been reduced.


Statistics

Finally, we can release the summary of win rate data collected from data during EA v1.5 Beta 2.

Most Played Character: Pressel (14.8%)
Least Played Character: Ironheart (4.1%)

Win Rate Table in Normal Difficulty


Win Rate Table in Expert Difficulty


How to Read the Table
The Green bar with a black border is the character's win rate.
Other colors signify the cause of defeat due to various reasons.

Dev Comments on Statistics
We think Chrono Ark's overall win rate has been too high in comparison to our initial plan.
We will not be increasing the game's difficulty for Normal or below, but we still think Expert Difficulty should be harder than its current state.
