[Summary of Dev Note Video]



■ Gley: Changes to ‘Blood and Iron’



- Gley's Blood and Iron build demonstrated over 10% higher performance in end game content. Due to this, through further internal verification, the development team has determined that adjustments are necessary.



- The Blood and Iron ‘Rampage’ skill power modifier will be reduced by 35%, with the range becoming 15m, and the max expandable range becoming 150%.



Skill Cost will be changed to 50, and the issue of attacking through walls will be fixed as well.



- An official canceling feature has been added to ‘Rampage’, and we’ve improved the controls of ‘Rampage’ to allow rotation during skill activation.



- The ability to ride the Hoverbike during ‘Rampage’ and canceling it has been removed, as it is a bug.



- Overall skill effects and sound effects will be improved.



 



■ Dia: Improvements to Skill & Controls



- ‘Glacial Clash / Glacial Breakthrough’: Increased the charge speed and reduced the ending motion delay, and also improved hit detection.



- ‘Ice Wall’: Extended its duration to make it easier to execute combos.



- ‘Frost Storm’: Usability has been improved. Reduced the ending motion delay and adjusted the skill animation to be faster.



- ‘Blooming Ecstasy – Frost Bloom’: ‘Frozen Spire’ moves much faster and direction can be changed with the L-stick while charging.



- ‘Blooming Ecstasy – Frost Bloom’, ‘Chill Brand’: Usability is improved, and the direction can be changed with the L-stick on the controller.



 



■ Weapon Improvements – Eye of the Typhoon / Hammer and Anvil



- Eye of the Typhoon: Increased firearm and attribute attack. The auto-targeting range will also be expanded.



- Hammer and Anvil: Increased firearm and attribute attack. the activating effect has been simplified, and the overall damage of ‘Anvil mode’ has been increased.



 



In addition to these changes, various bug fixes will be implemented.

Dev Note vol. 23 | Follow-up Patch Related to the February 5th Update





Greetings, Descendants.



This is the Director of The First Descendant, Minseok Joo.



 



Since the Season 3 Episode 3 update on February 5th, the dev team and I have been reviewing various feedback from the community.



 



We are fully aware of the disappointing aspects of the newly updated content and are preparing to make improvements through a follow-up patch.



Currently, the development team is reviewing Gley's ‘Blood and Iron’ module, which has shown performance beyond its intended scope. Along with this, we are also examining improvements to the usability of ‘Blood and Iron’ skill and the new Descendant, Dia.



Furthermore, we’re looking into performance enhancements for several weapons, such as ‘Eye of the Typhoon’ and ‘Hammer and Anvil’, as well as overall game optimization and technical issues.



These issues will be adjusted through a patch that is being prepared for this week.



 



We will provide more detailed information through a Dev Note video on February 11th. We’ll continue to closely monitor the gameplay experience of our Descendants and constantly strive for a better direction in the future.



 



Thank you again for your valuable feedback.



 



Thank you.
