Hello to everyone who has been enjoying Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. This is the game’s producer/director, Hirayama. Today, the third and final DLC, "Upheaval in Jingxiang", and Ver1.300 update were released. For this letter, I’ve selected some of the new and updated content to introduce in a bit more detail so that you can enjoy them even more as you continue to battle the demons plaguing ancient China.

DLC Vol. 3: Upheaval in Jingxiang ■New Weapon: Whip
This weapon type is characterized by its flexible movement, and has a large number of attacks that cover a wide range to strike multiple enemies.
Switching between its two forms is important for this weapon type, so while the enhanced state is unable to recover Spirit, it is capable of executing repetitive high-intensity, high-performance attacks.
Alongside enhanced attacks, there is also a hitbox when deflected successfully, allowing the player to attack aggressively when the moment calls for it.
In addition to switching forms when using the whip, you can also enjoy its synergy with other weapons, such as using other weapon types to build up Spirit and then switching to an enhanced state from a deflect counterattack.
Be sure to check it out!

■New System: Stratagem
It is unlocked by clearing the main battlefield of "Upheaval in Jingxiang."
As the name Stratagem suggests, this new system has been implemented to break through battle conditions.
While the effect of the Stratagem is powerful, there are conditions for using it, so it is important to set it according to your own build situation and the content of the battlefield you are challenging.

There are two types of effects: "always activated" and "optional." For example, the "always activated" type may increase the damage of martial arts in exchange for the inability to use Wizardry Spells at any time, while the "optional" type is activated by a special command like Wizardry, and as an example, may reduce Morale Rank, but replenishes the Divine Beast Gauge when activated.
When encountering a difficult situation, try to overcome it by trial and error while switching out the Stratagem!

Also, just as with accessories, some of these Stratagems have special effects that can be activated by equipping them, so we hope you will enjoy not only the effects of the Stratagems, but also the combinations of the special effects.

■Expansion of “The Thousand-Mile Journey”
We have included various expansions to further enhance your experience in "The Thousand-Mile Journey."

First of all, we have gone beyond the current 100 mile limit.
As the name implies, we made 1000 miles the end of the journey, but have extended it beyond 1000 miles for extra replayability so that players can enjoy the game for a long time.
Along with that, we have added several new battlefield types for a wider choice of battlefields.

In addition, the hurdle for collecting equipment as end-game content was too high, so the following modifications have been made:

- "Grace-Bestowed Equipment" is set as a reward for completing the battlefields at intervals of 10 miles.
- The benefit of Grace is added when "Grace-Bestowed Equipment" is dropped.　
　*The benefits will be unlocked by clearing 101 miles and thereafter.
- The "Golden Horse Hoof offering" function has been changed to a function that increases the drop rate of accessories.

We have also improved the playability of the game by adding a function that allows players to pre-select a route for 10 miles and continuously play the battlefield. This allows for continuous play of Recruitment if the host of the online play has pre-selected a route.
We have also made various other adjustments, so please check the patch notes.

■New feature: Apex Bonus
In addition to the already implemented difficulty level switching, the "Apex Bonus" feature can be combined with the function expansions to allow more efficient collection options.
With this update, we have extended the level limit to 500, and we have prepared additional elements for those who have already reached the limit.

The "Apex Bonus" is an element that can be strengthened by consuming Genuine Qi, similar to leveling up, and can enhance five items: Attack Power, Elemental Attack, HP, Spirit Defense, and Luck.
This bonus can be increased up to a total of Lv. 1000, so please enjoy these further growth elements to take on the end-game content.


Free Update Ver1.300 ■Expansion of “Inner Discipline”
As mentioned in passing in the previous Director’s Letter, we have expanded the difficulty adjustment system.
The "Inner Discipline" feature, which previously only allowed the adjustment of Morale Rank, now allows for step-by-step improvement of drop contents by placing restrictions on each item such as "HP," "various types of damage," "amount recovered," and "presence or absence of special effects."
Please try it out according to your own build situation and gameplay skills.

In addition, in this new difficulty level, "Dragon King," the upper limit is set at +12 upgrade and 8★ rarity, but by taking on an even higher difficulty level using "Inner Discipline," the maximum enhancement level of up to +20 can be dropped.
We noted that increasing the maximum limits for both the upgrade level and rarity would make the hurdle of creating an ideal build too high, so we have decided to increase the limit only for the upgrade level.

The maximum upgrade level is compensated for by the combination of the recommended level of the battlefield and the limit of the Inner Discipline, so the higher the difficulty of the battlefield and the more multiple restrictions are applied, the higher the upgrade level will be dropped.

Please be assured that the 8★ equipment you have in the "Dragon King" will not go to waste, as the special blacksmithing materials obtained by disassembling equipment of +13 or higher can be used to strengthen the equipment up to the level of enhancement you have already obtained.


These are but a few of the details of the update that we hope you’ll be excited about.
Once again, on behalf of the team, I would like to express our sincere thanks for your long-term support of the game through all of the DLC.
We hope you enjoy the DLC Vol.3 content and updates, and once again, thank you for your continued support of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
