v.1.0.0.4
The core philosophy of this game revolves around finding the best combination of equipment, heroes, traits, and skills to bring out the maximum potential of your party. However, the synergy of certain items and skills has been found to boost performance more than originally expected–in some cases this increased damage has been allowing for bosses to be defeated in one round. In light of this, we felt a few balance adjustments were needed.
Balance adjustments will be made to assure that battles do not finish too quickly, while also maintaining the strength of the aforementioned combinations as much as possible.
Balance adjustments are likely to continue for some time as the difficulty level of the latter half of the game is expected to be affected by the ongoing increase in player skill levels.
Adjustments to each Hero class based on data collected from all players will also be implemented in the near future.
