Awakened Content Update Releasing October 14, 2021

We are pleased to finally be able to announce the date for the next content update, Awakened: October 14. We know these delays have been very frustrating, and we want to thank our players for their patience with this extensive delay. 

After much discussion, the development team decided to end the relationship between Blessings and Skills. 

They were well aware that users wanted to use more skill combinations and this update was the perfect opportunity to make that a reality.

Through this update, users can now grow their characters to obtain the skills they want and and freely equip them. Moreover, through SP, they can grow their desired skills even stronger. This means that Blessings are no longer responsible for skill combination and growth.

Blessings now create one big combat style through 4 passive effects. For example, the Ranger’s Tempest Shot is powerful, but takes a lot of time to charge, making it difficult to use. However, wearing the Gift of Valor Blessing allows users to use the Tempest Shot faster and stronger. Of course there will be users who like skills opposite from the Tempest Shot. For these users, we recommend The Crescent Moon Blessing. This Blessing allows users to unleash fast attacks like Tempest Volley and Thundering Arrows.

Not only this, but skills with poor usability (Crusader’s slash or shield wall) have been improved, and the basic mechanics of the Priest have also been updated!

From now on, choose a blessing that suits your taste and grow it, test various skill combinations, and enjoy a different combat experience from before.

Let’s go into further details for Berserker, Guardian, Mage, Priest, and Ranger.
