Announcement on Counterattack Policy



Dear CEOs,
This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.

In the Dev Notes from last August, we informed you that on some units and ships, there would be a correction to their skill tooltips where [Sleep] was being removed despite the absence of [Sleep Immunity] written in their skill tooltips.

Due to the repercussions of the [Sleep Immunity] correction, many CEOs have expressed concerns about a significant reduction in methods to counteract [Sleep] that were being used previously.

In response, the dev team is working on policy adjustments and development to enable counter [Sleep] using the [Counterattack to Hitstun from Special or lower skills] ability as the first response to this situation.

The [Counterattack to Hitstun from Special or lower skills] ability is a skill that reduces damage and counterattacks when an opponent's attack causes Hitsun from Special or lower skills including basic attacks and enhanced attacks. [Arhat Joo Shiyoon] is a representative unit possessing the [Counterattack to Hitstun from Special or lower skills] ability.

As mentioned earlier, the [Counterattack to Hitstun from Special or lower skills] ability is triggered when hit by Special or lower skills that cause Hitstun. But this will be adjusted to trigger not only when hit by Special or lower skills that cause Hitstun, but also hit by [CC] type skills, allowing it to counteract [CC], including [Sleep].

During this policy adjustment process, we found that there was an error where a unit with both [Counterattack] skills from basic attacks and [Counterattack to Hitstun from Special or lower skills] ability from Special Skills could block the opponent's Special Skill with a basic attack’s counterattack when this unit is hit simultaneously by both basic attack and Special Skill that causes Hitsun.

Therefore, an update is planned to correct errors related to counterattack skills. After the error correction, Special Skills will no longer be blocked by counterattacks in basic attacks when hit simultaneously.

The unit affected by the error correction related to the [Counterattack] skill is as follows.

  • Arhat Joo Shiyoon

In addition, there are going to be adjustments to the [Counterattack to Hitstun from Special or lower skills] skill tooltip.

In its skill tooltip, it states that the [Counterattack to Hitstun from Special or lower skills] “ignores damage,” but actually, it greatly reduces the incoming damage. Therefore, to reduce the confusion caused by the tooltips, [Counterattack to Hitstun from Special or lower skills] will have the explanation as such.

Arhat Joo Shiyoon’s Special Skill, [Combative Insight]

[Now]

  • Ignores damage from Hitstun caused by all attacks other than Ultimate Skills, and inflicts AoE damage in front.


[After]

  • Reduces incoming damage from Hitstun caused by all attacks other than Ultimate Skills.


※ The skill description may change when actually applied.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the policy adjustments and errors.

The development team will carefully monitor the impact of both the recent [Counterattack] policy adjustments and future policy changes.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by skill policy adjustments and errors.

Moving forward, we will strive to provide advance notice of policy adjustments and development directions through developer notes and announcements.

Thank you.
