These portraits will appear in the options when the player starts a new game to create an avatar. The standard size of a portrait is 400x500 pixels. If the size does not match, the image may appear stretched or blurred. In addition, it is recommended to put another small square sized portrait picture with the name of the portrait and "_square" in the end of the picture's name at the same time ( For example, Player put a picture named " Portrait" for avatar, it is recommended that he put another square sized picture with the name of "Portrait_square" at the same time so our system can match these) . Both Png and Jpg format are supported.

PS: Old archive could not support portrait change, player must open a new archive.

Balance adjustment:

1）Each major arena will send its champion to participate in the Grand Venationes.

2）Modified some monsters in the Grand Venationes to balance the game's difficulty.
