Reward
Karma Balance Changes (Limited to Destruction)
[h3]Control Revamp (Limited to Destruction – Beta Mode)[/h3]
You can experience the control revamp in ‘Destruction’ – Beta Mode.
We limited the changes to Destruction so that you can play and test these changes for yourself before they are applied to the rest of the game.
1) Mana still Removed but Stamina is RestoredMana will continue to be removed and skills will solely depend on cooldowns.
Stamina has been restored and Dash Spheres are removed.
2) Changes due to Stamina being RestoredBecause stamina is restored the below will be changed.
- Dual Soul’s RMB command will consume stamina
- Blazing Fist’s Dash RMB will consume stamina
- Soul of Magus’ Aerial RMB will consume stamina
- Lightning Fang’s RMB will consume stamina.
- Ruler of Darkness’ Aerial Flight will consume stamina
3) Blow System removedWe decided to remove the Blow System because it was hard to recognize and also, it was frustrating to be stuck in a combo for so long.
4) Combining Dash & Evade has been RemovedWe heard your feedback loud and clear and we decided to remove the decision to combine dash & evade as many of you pointed out that it actually took away the uniqueness and combo mechanics of individual Karmas. The dash & evade system has been restored to its original system.
5) Natural Recovery removedThis was removed due to giving winning players an advantage by encouraging them to run away with the lead and making the games boring as a result.
Also with this change, we removed restriction on healing skills healing only to specific amounts, so healing skills can now be 100% effective at all times.
6) Movement Speed AdjustmentWe received many feedbacks that the current movement speed was too slow so we've made it a bit faster than before.
To account for kiting by ranged Karmas against melee Karmas, we gave melee Karmas 15% faster movement speed.
7) Knockdown, Breakfall Changes- Knockdown State
Removed invincibility from Knockdown state. You can now take damage from attacks during Knockdown.
- Breakfall
Breakfall is used to get out of Knockdown quickly but follow-up attacks from enemies made this maneuver less effective than intended. Therefore, we added invincibility during Breakfall so that you can stand up from knockdown without taking damage!
8) Difficult Control ImprovementsWe made the following changes to address difficulties in Dash during Charging, using skills while Aiming, and recovering Special Resources.
[h3]Destruction (Beta Mode) Improvements[/h3]
1) Ping SystemWhile playing Destruction (Beta Mode), you will be able to communicate and strategize with your teammate with ease with the new Ping system.

- When you are in Ping Mode (hold ALT), you can still use your other keys and Ping Mode can be activated while you are incapacitated as well.
- You can ping your teammates on the minimap with LMB and RMB.
2) Spectator SystemWhen you are incapacitated by the enemy, you will be able spectate your living teammates with the new Spectator System.
