Hello.
This is the development team.
We would like to share more details about the upcoming update and provide information regarding the update schedule.
The new class and Act 11 update, which was originally planned for April, has been rescheduled to May as we determined that additional polish was needed.
We sincerely apologize to those who have been waiting, and we will do our best to deliver it in the best possible state.
The update is scheduled for May 14 at 05:00 UTC. Below are additional details about the upcoming content.
▶ New Class - Orc Shaman
An Orc Shaman will be joining PANOPTYCA as a new class.
The Shaman is a versatile mage-type class that
can place totems to draw enemy attention, summon totems that deal powerful area attacks, and provide buffs to allies while inflicting debuffs on enemies.
These abilities offer various forms of support to allies during party play, while also proving effective in solo combat. As a class with diverse possibilities, we look forward to seeing the different playstyles that Commanders will develop based on their growth strategies.
Skill Information
- The Orc Shaman possesses a total of 13 skills. Here is a preview of 3 totem skills.
1) Totem - Sea Turtle
- Summons a Sea Turtle Totem nearby. The summoned totem taunts nearby enemies and greatly increases the defense of all allies within range. (The effect is removed when leaving the area.)
2) Totem - Storm Dragon
- Summons a Storm Dragon Totem nearby. The summoned totem periodically calls forth storms to attack surrounding enemies.
3) Totem - Clairvoyance
- Summons a Gale Hawk Totem nearby. The summoned totem greatly increases the movement speed and attack speed of all allies within range. (The effect is removed when leaving the area.)
▶ New Region - Act 11
The new region, Act 11, is Velkaron — the lost continent of the Orc race.
This is the first area where the journey to reclaim each race’s continent beyond the PANOPTYCA gate begins. It features larger areas than previous stages and allows multiple heroes to participate in battle together.
In the Velkaron region, you can obtain Legendary-grade items, and upon completing certain stages, you can also earn stage rewards such as Magic Stones: Orphion, Boss/Legendary Enhancement Stones, and more.
▶ Legendary Equipment Items
- A total of 28 Legendary armor pieces will be added. Please note that the types and detailed stats may change at the time of the final update.
Legendary Effect Preview
1) Explosive Trail Boots - Archer-exclusive Legendary Effect Preview
All projectile attacks cause explosions.
2) Arcane Emission Gloves - Mage-exclusive Legendary Effect Preview
Periodically fires magic projectiles to attack nearby enemies.
3) March of Light - Priest-exclusive Legendary Effect Preview
Increases the number of Priest projectiles and raises the maximum projectile hit limit on a single target.
When a homing projectile skill (such as the Priest’s basic attack) loses its target due to death, it will now seek out a new target instead of wandering aimlessly.
▶ Class-specific Leaderboards
Class-specific leaderboards will be added, allowing you to compare rankings by each hero class. The leaderboard UI design will also be updated accordingly.
▶ Character Balance Adjustments
Balance adjustments will be made for classes that have been relatively underperforming. We will continue to refine the balance so that you can enjoy building your own unique squads with a more diverse hero composition. We welcome your feedback.
