NEW & IMPROVEMENTS

CLASS CHANGES

WOOSA
Skill Enhancements for Woosa, 6 types of Rabam skills, and 2 Prime skills have been added. These skills were developed to focus on effects rather than strengthening PVE play. In other words, they focus on utility over damage.

Amongst the Rabam skills, [Cloudburst] and [Inkstroke] inflict long-range stun and knockdown damage, and skills like [Kaleidoscope Flower] and [Chrysanth Swirl] have defensive effects for more stability as you deal damage. As for [Spring Blossom] and [Reinvigorate], they are utilized as buffs.

Overview
  • Rabam Skill Enhancements have been added
    • The first Skill Enhancement can be learned from level 56, the second at level 57, and the third at level 58.
    • The preceding skills must have already been acquired to learn skill enhancements.
    • Only one of the two Skills Enhancements for each base skill can be learned.

Arena of Solare

The matchmaking based PVP mode where parties of 3 battle each other using equalized gear for Arena of Solare has begun.

New gear, crystals, and a placement match system has been implemented to the mode's preseason. The Arena of Solare Preseason will go on for 1 week and an official season will begin after the player data is reset.

This concept of teamwork and fighting against other players will bring about an entirely different experience from that of PVE, so we hope all adventurers, both new and returning, will enjoy the preseason as well as the upcoming season.

First, matchmaking rounds have been added for this update. Points will be awarded based on your rank from the previous season, which will be used to match you with other players of similar rank (If you participated in season one). Items with new options will also be available, and Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Aboveground) and Barhan Gateway have been added as arenas to diversify the battle experience.

Secondly, both new and season characters will be able to participate in Arena of Solare Season 2. You will be able to collaborate with team members and experience a totally new style of gameplay compared to PvE. We hope that all players will take the opportunity to try it out.

  • Arena of Solare has begun.
Arena of Solare Preseason Dec 28 (Wed), 2022 (after maintenance) - Jan 4 (Wed), 2023 (before maintenance)
