03/26 Patch Details

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Masters of the Book,[/p][p][/p][p]This patch, Blackaria, Arbiter of Life and Death, joins the battlefield.[/p][p][/p][p]Once a merciful healer, she now wields the legendary bow “Snow Savage” as a ruthless judge. She embraces both life and death powers after accepting the abyssal darkness.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition, Ancient Giant Season 2 opens, challenging players with party compositions that meet set conditions. Challenge scores can be tracked instantly, allowing for party and guild growth.[/p][p][/p][p]The Recommended Hero System allows you to easily view knights used in major content to aid party composition, while Journey in Memory is revamped with better rewards.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve also got a couple of surprises in store for the game’s 2nd Anniversary![/p][p][/p][p]For more detailed information, please see below:[/p][p][/p][h3]■ Knights of Veda[/h3][p]* Let her be the judge, 5★ Knight of Veda Blackaria arbitrates between life and death in this Call of the Stars![/p][p][/p][h2]“Do not worry—I am right here”[/h2][p][/p][h3]Once revered as the “Divine Healer,” she was a beacon of grace who mended the broken with a touch of kindness. But amidst the visceral carnage of war, she was forced to witness the fragile boundaries of her own mercy.[/h3][p][/p][h3]Consumed by a tempest of sorrow and rage at the sight of unyielding death, she inadvertently awakened the forbidden entropy hidden on the other side of life—the “Darkness of the Abyss.”[/h3][p][/p][h3]No longer just a weaver of wounds, she has ascended as an Arbiter, a dual-natured being who commands both the warmth of benevolence and the glacial cruelty of the darkness. She now stands at the threshold, the one who coldly dictates the divide between life and death.[/h3][p][/p][p]- Blackaria is a Darkness/Poison dual-type ranged DPS who wields a small bow, building stacks with each strike to accelerate her ATK and Movement SPD until reaching maximum stacks, where her ATK surges into a devastating torrent; her Normal Skill, "Still-Life Arrow," enhances her Normal ATKs and amplifies her damage output, while her Signature Skill, "Shadow of Blight," summons a relentless shadow that pursues enemies, inflicting Verdict to weaken those it strikes.[/p][p][/p][p]- Blackaria, alongside her Signature Weapon “Snow Savage,” can be obtained via Call of the Stars. While her Signature “Conviction of Death Halo” and her Signature “Awakened Beast El Cid” can be obtained via “Mark of the Sworn Loyalty” and “Fragments of the Painting” respectively, which can be found on the “Guidance of the Goddess” menu.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]■ A new Ancient Giant season awaits![/h3][p]- Ancient Giant Season 2 will be updated with this patch, featuring bosses with dual attributes, encouraging the use of Knights of recommended attributes and positions in addition to granting score bonuses.[/p][p]- Highest scores will be recorded; current scores can also be compared hourly with best records to guide party composition.[/p][p][/p][p]* Ancient Giant is still on the weekends![/p][p][/p][p]- Ancient Giant runs every Saturday and Sunday, featuring four dual-attribute bosses that rotate every two weeks.[/p][p]- Recommended Roles and Attributes grant higher scores when conditions are met; requirements that change weekly.[/p][p][/p][p]* What’s the other changes from Season 1?[/p][p]- The ATK and DEF of the Shadow Giant bosses have been adjusted, with greater emphasis on DEF. As a result, scores may be significantly lower when using the same Knights as in Season 1.[/p][p]- All records from Season 1 will be reset upon the start of Season 2.[/p][p][/p][p]* Separate records for each of the bosses, letting you check how your Knights are performing on each of them.[/p][p][/p][p]- Scores will be tracked for each boss and you will always be able to see your current score alongside your all-time high.[/p][p][/p][p]* Your All-time high will also be visible to you while on a run! Hit those targets![/p][p][/p][p]- You will be able to track your current score in real-time and have your all-time high score visible while you’re on your current run![/p][p]- If you do surpass your all-time high, congratulations! The game will also let you know thru a notification when you do so~[/p][p][/p][p]* View your recent run records on the Ancient Giant Records page![/p][p][/p][p]- The game stores up to twenty (20) records for each boss, which you will be able to view on the appropriate menu located at the Ancient Giant content main page.[/p][p][/p][p]* Select a specific run to get more information about it.[/p][p][/p][p]- Selecting your run records displays both the specific record and the all-time high in a more visual form.[/p][p]- It will also give you an overview of the gear equipped on both runs so you can get an idea on where to focus to improve their performance.[/p][p][/p][p]* Some additional quality-of-life changes have been made[/p][p][/p][p]- You can now access Ancient Giant directly using a dedicated button added to the menus.[/p][p]- The number of daily attempts has been increased to five (5).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]■ Shadow Waters Season 2 Ranking & Rewards[/h3][p][/p][p]- New season, new rankings, new rewards![/p][p]- Ancient Giant continues to be active from Friday to Sunday, from 06:00 AM UTC / 11:00 PM PDT to 05:50 UTC / 10:50 PM PDT the next day.
