4/16 Update Notes
Greetings, Lords and Ladies.
This is the Game of Thrones: Kingsroad team.
Today we bring you details regarding the update taking place on April 16th (PT).
This update includes skill balance adjustments and fixes for ongoing issues within the game. Be sure to check the patch notes below and enjoy your adventure!
We always appreciate your feedback and are committed to continually improving your experience in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad.
[h2]■ BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS
[/h2]
The duration of Ignite and Poison Weapon skills was previously shorter than their cooldowns, making it difficult to maintain their buffs consistently. This created challenges in content such as Beyond the Wall Expeditions, particularly when fighting Wight enemies or trying to sustain a poison-based attack tempo.
To resolve this, we are extending the duration of these buffs while reducing their cooldown times.
➤ The duration and cooldown of the Ignite Weapon skill for Knight, Assassin, and Sellsword classes have been adjusted.
• Duration: 15 seconds ➜ 20 seconds
• Cooldown: 24 seconds ➜ 20 seconds
➤ The duration and cooldown of the Ignite Weapon+ skill for Knight, Assassin and Sellsword classes have been adjusted.
• Duration: 20 seconds ➜ 30 seconds
• Cooldown: 24 seconds ➜ 20 seconds
➤ The duration of the Poison and Poison+ skills for the Assassin class have been adjusted.
• Duration: 15 seconds ➜ 20 seconds
➤ The maximum projectile recovery rate has been fixed to 65%.
