Hello, Heroes of Bermesiah!
Previous PvP balance adjustments introduced broad changes to the overall PvP environment, including damage, hit detection, and core gameplay systems.
However, because these changes were applied using a unified set of standards, some adjustments did not align well with the unique characteristics of certain characters. In addition, our analysis of actual gameplay data identified areas that required further refinement.
With the 4th PvP Balance Adjustment, we will maintain the overall direction of the previous update while addressing these limitations and refining areas that needed further improvement to establish a more consistent balance standard.
The main changes included in this adjustment are as follows:
■ Combat Flow Improvements
Combat elements that influence the flow of battle, such as jump attacks, dash attacks, and aerial hit detection, have been improved, with each character's playstyle taken into consideration during the adjustments.
■ Utility Effect Application Changes
The effects of Hyper Armor, Super Armor, Evasion Skills, Blocking and other Utility Skills will be changed. The balancing standards have been revised, and certain effects have been adjusted.
■ Revive/Invincibility Skill Effect Adjustments
Commands with the same effects have been adjusted to follow consistent standards.
■ Rune Set Effect Disabled
Rune Set Effects have been adjusted to better align with the intended behavior of identical stat options.
All changes apply to PvP mode only. Some adjustments may be implemented gradually following additional review.
We will continue monitoring PvP data and incorporating player feedback to ensure PvP remains a fair and enjoyable competitive experience.
We look forward to your interest and feedback.
Thank you.
