Dear Blackthorn Arena Players:
Greetings, thanks for supporting our game. As always, the following content contains some updates and bugs fixed. We have noticed there would be some bugs after our last major updates, we will try our best to fix them as soon as possible.
If you have any feedback or advice, please leave your comment below or share your opinion on our official discord.

March 6th Hotfix Patch:

BUG fixed:

1) Fixed the bug that the duration and description of some buff are displayed incorrectly when players are hovering their mouse those buff.

2) Fixed a bug that caused the character to get stuck when being stunned while climbing the rope.

3) Fixed a bug that gladiators' hair is displayed incorrectly while they returning from dispatched battles.

4) Fixed a bug where "set effect" of equipment (5 sets) sometimes is not displayed.

5) Fixed a bug that gladiators can still equip off-hand weapons while equipping two-handed weapons under certain circumstances.

6) Fixed the lack of weight (light, heavy) hints in the set display.

7) Fixed the bug that when players viewing the gladiator panel, the shortcut key modification did not actually show on the shortcut bar UI. (players change the shortcut for skills but the UI in skill bar remains unchanged.)

8) Fixed a bug where a set occupying multiple equipment bars (such as Blackthorn arena set) did not disable the occupied equipment bars properly in some cases.

Improvements:

1) Players can now check their slaves' equipment and attribute while in the black market by clicking on the character icons.

2) Added an option to disable specific traps in the arena.

3) Added an option to automatically pause at the beginning of the battle.

4) Added a camera switch tutorial in the first game.

5) Now in free camera mode, the camera will initially follow the character. If the WASD key is pressed, or the camera is moved by edge scrolling, the camera will stop following character.

6) Complete the Chinese translation of the champions' names.

7) A few visual improvements have been made to the Champions Set of Desolation Fortress and Bloodsand.

Balance adjustment:

General:

1) Due to some factors of instability, we temporarily disable the generation of tag fights. We will improve and release this battle mode in the next patch.

1) Black Thorns Breastplate:
- Physical damage resistance increased from 25% to 44%.

2) Breastplate of Desolation Fort:
