[Announcement] January 3rd Dev Note

Hello, Heroes of Bermesiah!

We understand that there are many questions about the upcoming Awakening System.
Today, we would like to give a brief introduction to the basic structure of the Awakening System and the direction of its development.
Let's check it out!


■ Awakening System Introduction □ How to Awaken
Awakening can be unlocked after reaching level 85 and completing the Awakening Missions!

□ Awakening Skill Tree
Players can use Awakening Currency acquired through play to open the Skill Tree and advance.
The Skill Tree is composed of 2 elements shown below:
- Main Core: The main growth component for acquiring and reinforcing new special skills.
- Stat Support Core: The support growth component for fine-tuning and adjusting the stats for the character.


1. New Stage 4 Special Skill
This special skill has been developed to overcome the weaknesses of existing special skills and make them more useful in various contents.

2. Awakening Special Skill This will be the most powerful special skill, allowing players to focus attacks in moments when players need to deal a great amount of damage.
Features:
Upon using the special skill, the character's appearance will change and have increased stats for a certain period of time.
However, there is a use limit. Players must choose the right timing to gain the upper hand.

3. Stat Support Core
Upon acquisition, fixed stats will be applied.
Players may use Awakening Currency to reapply stats if necessary.
Each core has a set number of properties and values that can be acquired. Players must play the Awakening Dungeon consistently to gain the desired stats!


■ Awakening Dungeon
The Awakening Dungeon is a challenge content that will test the limits of the characters that players have developed.

- Requirements: Characters Level 85 or higher, 4-player dungeon.
- Features:
Monsters and maps in each stage are randomized to provide a new twist.
Players can challenge to a higher difficulty level based on their performance.
The higher the final difficulty, the more Awakening Currency players can acquire.


■  Character Control Improvements
We are improving existing characters alongside the Awakening update to address feedback regarding the challenges with character controls and hitboxes.

- Hitbox Improvements for Certain Attacks that Use Weapons:
Improved the hitbox for attacks that did not hit all enemies in the area
Improved the hitbox for certain attacks that cause reverse stun on successful hits, slowing down the player's attack speed

- Controls Improvements:
Improved controls for certain characters that were unable to dash in-air
Improved controls to make combo movements flow more smoothly

- Improvements may vary by character, so please stay tuned for more details in the update.
