Here are the updates made to Shadow Arena during the maintenance on November 11 (Thu).

* Patch Size: Approx. 293.40 MB

Check out the details below, and we will see you in the Arena!





[Dev Note]

Sura and Lahn were scheduled to receive an overall skill control and other detailed changes this week, but it has been postponed to the following week to reduce the impact it may have on the upcoming tournament. But some changes were made such as Tantu’s Power Jump A's attack motion because due to last week’s update, its excessively powerful aspects were difficult to deal with. As a result, we added a short delay to the first attack motion, and for Power Jump B, we reduced the first attack motion and made the skill more viable by allowing an attack to be made immediately when pressing the skill key again.
