Developer Comment
Last week’s developer note provided an early overview of the direction for
the Season 2 Trait Update.

This Season 2 balance patch focuses on addressing issues identified
during Season 1 and reinforcing the unique playstyles of each position.

Season 2 Balance Patch Direction
In Season 1, as we expanded positional diversity, some positions experienced
unclear roles or became overly skewed toward certain play patterns.

In Season 2, we have addressed these issues as follows:

> Stabilized elements that caused problems
> Adjusted each position’s role and identity to be more clearly defined

As a result, Season 2 prioritizes stable improvements rather than
large-scale changes.

This season serves as a phase to thoroughly review the current state
and gather data, rather than dramatically shifting the meta.

This is an important preparation phase for the next season,
and the decisions made prioritize long-term quality over short-term changes.

We will continue to make ongoing improvements based on your gameplay
experience and feedback.

Note:
→ After the balance patch, traits will be reset, so please make sure to check
and re-equip your traits.
