Following previous updates that enhanced Floating combos, we have added more ways to combo into Air Attacks after various Floating skills. Additionally, defensive effects have been added to her Knockdown combos to ensure she can deal melee damage more reliably.Awakening

Archwizardry: Mass Teleport was intended to be used to engage alongside allies or help allies escape danger. However, we have adjusted its defensive effects, as opponents had no way to keep Wizard and Witch in check when they attempted to escape.Main Weapon
- Changed the defensive effects from Invincible to Super Armor → Invincible → Super Armor.
Wizard and Witch Awakening are classes that combine powerful AoE damage with the ability to support allies, with Wizard placing more emphasis on AoE damage. However, we determined that the damage of certain Wizard Awakening skills that can be instantly comboed was too high. To better balance this, we reduced the damage of those skills while increasing the damage of skills with longer cast times. Additionally, the ally-supporting capability of Protected Area was slightly excessive considering the Wizard's current AoE damage potential, so its cooldown has been adjusted.Main Weapon
- Increased cooldown: 150 sec → 210 sec (Based on Protected Area V).
Awakening

Ninja Awakening is a melee-focused class capable of assassinating if needed. However, certain skills were exceptionally versatile on their own, thanks to their short cooldowns, Super Armor, instant movement, CC effects, and more.We are adjusting him so that powerful skills must be used more carefully, and Adventurers may need to cancel out of Super Armor-based defensive actions depending on the situation.
Awakening
- Changed the required resource.
- Before: 40 WP
- After: 200 Stamina
- Changed so Stamina does not recover until the skill motion ends.
- Changed the required resource.
- Before: 35 WP
- After: 150 Stamina
- Changed so Stamina does not recover until the skill motion ends.
Despite being a hybrid class that shifts between melee and ranged combat, Dark Knight Awakening has struggled to make full use of this playstyle due to her reduced ranged AoE damage compared to the past. This adjustment has been made to allow her to pressure enemies from range with damage, while keeping them in check in melee by maintaining defensive effects and applying CC. In exchange, we have added positioning constraints at range through Forward Guard, while giving her weaker survivability in melee to better preserve her class identity and concept.Awakening

Striker Succession is designed for melee combat. To better fit this role, we have enhanced his survivability and increased PvP damage.

Mystic Awakening is designed to tank hits, recover, and relentlessly close the distance to disrupt enemy formations or restrict their movement. However, some of the effects used to perform this role were somewhat overtuned, so balance adjustments have been made.Awakening

- Increased cooldown: 40 sec → 50 sec.

Lahn Succession excels at using airborne mobility to drop in on enemies from above and disrupt their lines. We have improved her follow-up options after landing. Depending on the situation, Lahn can now choose to remain on the ground and attempt extra damage with stationary attack skills, despite the risks of relying on Forward Guard.Main Weapon, Succession

- Changed the defensive effects as follows:

- Adjusted character rotation during striding slash attack 1 to follow the camera only until the attack begins.
Following the previous damage nerfs to Hashashin Succession, we have increased the damage of skills that do not apply Air Attack in standard combos. While keeping the damage of opening CC skills such as Prime: Purge at a similar level to prevent kills from a single combo, we have increased the damage of skills used in the second CC combo so they deal damage on par with other classes. However, the damage of Rupture has been reduced, as it could deal excessively high damage.
Additionally, we have added a new option that allows Hashashin to stay in the fight while visible by taking on some risk. From the opponent's perspective, this also creates more opportunities to target a Hashashin who remains on the battlefield.
Main Weapon, Succession

- Before: Super Armor while disguised, Super Armor during the skill

Sage Awakening uses various engage and movement skills to move across the battlefield and deal damage. Specifically, he could easily disrupt enemies by repositioning with engage and movement skills that have quick activation and favorable properties. We have adjusted him so he must be more careful when capitalizing on this strength.Awakening

We have adjusted Woosa Succession to play the role of locking down an area using AoE CC and debuffs during melee engagements in PvP. Also, we've compensated for the low DPS across her combos by expanding the skills that grant buffs, allowing her to adjust her combos flexibly for different situations. However, the damage of Prime: Rain's Thirst has been adjusted, as it could deal excessive damage when used with certain setups.Main Weapon, Succession

Scholar fights using high defense alongside skills with airborne movement. However, we are adjusting her ability to deal a certain amount of damage through airborne skills during her approach and airborne skills chained immediately after. Accordingly, the Damage Increase condition for Flow: Golden Thunder, a skill used to dive into enemy lines, has been changed, and the damage of Home Run - Flow: Gold Continuum has been reduced. In exchange, the damage of ground skills used after diving in while exposed to enemies has been increased, encouraging Adventurers to secure kills through ground combos after her initial dive.Common

Deadeye is a ranged attack-focused hybrid class that keeps approaching enemies in check before suddenly striking with melee skills. To maintain this unique playstyle that involves "kiting" as a core element of combat, we believe that the damage and defensive effects of her ranged attacks must be maintained. However, we understand that being able to kite endlessly can feel unfair to opponents facing Deadeye. Therefore, we have adjusted her Stamina and Frontier Survivor to place a limit on her ability to kite.
Regarding the increased HP cost of Frontier Survivor, it was previously difficult to trigger with skills other than Sidewinder. As such, we unified the Stamina cost of Sidewinder, Gunslinger's Entrance, Doom 'N Gloom, and Run 'N Gun so that Deadeye can continue to use these skills by consuming HP instead of Stamina once Frontier Survivor activates.
Common
- Increased HP consumption when Stamina is depleted from 2x to 4x the Stamina cost.
- Accordingly, the minimum HP required to activate Frontier Survivor has been changed: below 25% of Max HP or below 800 → below 10% of Max HP or below 1,200.
- Changed so Stamina does not recover during the skill.
- Changed so Stamina does not recover from skill use until the skill ends.
- Adjusted the Stamina cost for the following skills. Lower levels of these skills have also been adjusted.
| Skill | Before | After |
| Sidewinder | 300 | 200 |
| Absolute: Gunslinger's Entrance | 150 | 200 |
| Absolute: Doom 'N Gloom | 100 | 200 |
| Absolute: Run 'N Gun | 100 | 200 |
Wukong has been adjusted to focus on diving into enemy lines to deal damage and cause disruption. We have expanded his access to wide-range skills that inflict CC and enhanced his ability to infiltrate enemy lines, disrupt their formation, and safely exit the battlefield.Common

Scheduled Additional PvP Balance Adjustments
This week's update marks the start of the regular season of Arena of Solare, a PvP mode loved by many Adventurers. We are also aware of the active discussions on class balance in Arena of Solare.
PvP balance in Black Desert plays out differently across many types of content, such as 1v1, Arena of Solare, Node/Conquest Wars, and more. Because of this, we adjust balance based on various indicators rather than specific content, as we have today as well.
However, we also deeply understand that a class overperforming in certain content can create an overall subpar experience for Adventurers playing that content. Therefore, as announced through Global Lab on Apr 17, we will be monitoring the performance of each class in Arena of Solare closely and quickly at the beginning of the season. We will also make further adjustments for classes that overperform or underperform for a better PvP experience. Thank you.

Arena of Solare - Rank and Point System Revamp
The point and rank systems have been reorganized to help more Adventurers enjoy the challenge while allowing top-tier rankers to further cement their prestige.
Previously, the point gain/loss was uniform across all tiers, making it difficult to climb without a win rate above 50%. With this update, we have split point gains and losses by score bracket. Up to the 1,800 point mark, participating in more matches will now increase your chances of reaching the mid-to-high tiers, easing the pressure regarding win rates.
Furthermore, while the 2,401+ points requirement for the "Solare Incarnate" tier remains, a new "Top 30" rank condition has been introduced. We expect this change to make the Solare Incarnate tier a truly glorious position befitting the very best.
- Changed the point rules as follows:
- Base points gained or lost upon victory and defeat are now applied based on ranks.
| Rank | Before | After |
 Beginner Soldier - Skilled Soldier
(1200 points or less) |
+20 (Victory) / -20 (Defeat)
|
+35 (Victory) / -25 (Defeat)
|
|
Dawn Spear
(1201 - 1500 points) |
+31 (Victory) / -25 (Defeat)
|
|
|

+27 (Victory) / -25 (Defeat)

Twilight Spear

+25 (Victory) / -25 (Defeat)

Radiant Spear

+23 (Victory) / -23 (Defeat)
|
|
|
Solare Incarnate
(2401+ points) |
+20 (Victory) / -20 (Defeat)
|
- Adjusted the point multiplier for victory in placement matches.
- Before: 1.8x
- After: 1.5x
- Revamped the requirements for acquiring and maintaining the top rank, Solare Incarnate.
| Point Requirement |
Must have at least 2401 points |
| Number of Players | Must be among the top 30 out of the Adventurers with at least 2401 points. ※ Example: If 100 Adventurers have at least 2,401 points, only those ranked 1st to 30th will keep the Solare Incarnate rank, while those from 31st onwards are ranked as Radiant Spear III. |
| Rank Change | The rank changes based the rankings every day at 02:00 after the end of Arena of Solare. ※ The rank only changes if the ranking between Adventurers with at least 2,401 points changes. |
- Changed the win streak bonus points and added lose streak penalties.
- A percentage of the base points gained/lost are added to the point calculation starting from a 3-game win or lose streak.

Notice on Arena of Solare HUD Update
We previously shared details regarding the Arena of Solare HUD during Calpheon Ball 2025 and in Global Lab patch notes. This feature was designed to help Adventurers quickly locate allies and enemies to join the fight more effectively, helping those still learning the Arena to reach higher levels of play.
However, during final testing, we determined that further refinements are necessary to deliver the intended experience. We regret that we cannot introduce this feature today. We will provide a follow-up announcement via the Global Lab as soon as the HUD function is ready. Thank you.
Item
"Extra AP Against All Species" Change
When viewing your current character stats as Total Stats, you can see the combined values of Extra AP against specific species, such as Humans, Kamasylvian Monsters, Demihumans, and Edanian Monsters. The "Extra AP Against All Species" effect found on equipment such as Sovereign Main Weapons and Awakening Weapons is also included in these totals.
Previously, it was difficult to check your exact Total AP against general monsters because there was no filter for viewing those Total Stats. To address this, we have changed the "Extra AP Against All Species" effect to "Extra AP Against Monsters."
Following this update, you can check your exact Total AP against general monsters by selecting the "No Species Damage" filter when viewing Total Stats.
- Changed the "Extra AP Against All Species" effect on all weapons to "Extra AP Against Monsters."
- Check the total AP applied to neutral monsters through the Total Stats - Extra AP Against Species - No Species Damage filter.

Last Fort Becomes a Question Mark
In Occupation Node Wars, Question Mark Forts would often close early while the final timed fort still had significant time remaining. This encouraged the remaining guilds to wait until the final moments to attack and seize the timed fort. However, the guild already occupying the timed fort had few ways to respond, resulting in a very low chance of victory. To address this and keep battles going, the final remaining timed fort will now change into a Question Mark Fort with an unknown closing time.- Changed Occupation Node War so if the last fort has more than 10 minutes left, its remaining time is readjusted and displayed as a question mark.
- Example: At 18:30, if the last fort is set to end at 18:45, its remaining time changes to a question mark and a new random end time will be set between 18:40 and 19:00.
- Occupying the fort that has changed to a question mark grants extra rewards.
- Example: At 18:30, if the last fort is set to end at 18:45, its remaining time changes to a question mark and a new random end time will be set between 18:40 and 19:00.
Construction Node War Duration Change
To fully capture the appeal of Construction Node Wars, the duration has been increased from 1 hour to 2 hours. We hope this extended time allows for more diverse strategies and thrilling battles.- Increased the Construction Node War duration from 1 hour to 2 hours.
- Participation/victory rewards and Family buffs remain the same. (Occupation Node War duration also remain at 1 hour.)
- Changed the time at which the system reveals enemy fort locations from 30 minutes to 1 hour after the start of the war.
- Following this change in duration, the restriction for functions such as create/disband guild, leave guild, and Apply for Vacation has been changed to 2 hours. This also applies to Occupation Node War.
- For Conquest War, these functions are restricted for 2 hours, and all affiliated guild members will not be able to leave the guild.
| Functions Restricted during Node War (2 hr) |
| Create or Disband Guild |
| Leave Guild (applied to all guild members) |
| Apply for Node/Conquest War |
| Apply for Vacation |
-
- Changed the fort construction to be available between 1 hour after Node War ends, and 1 hour before the next Node War starts.
- Changed the conditions for Participation Opportunity returns and rewards in Construction Node Wars as follows:
Category New Conditions Participation Opportunity Return Destroy an enemy fort or achieve a total K/D count of 100+ Participation RewardYour guild fort remained standing, and your guild achieved either of the following:
- Destroyed an enemy fort, or
- Achieved a total K/D count of 100+
Node War Max HP Rule Change
- Changed the Node War Max HP rule (for both Occupation and Construction).
| Before | After |
| Current HP is reduced according to the HP Limit | Max HP is reduced according to the HP Limit |
- Fixed the issue where Injury applied from Black Spirit skills was calculated based on actual Max HP instead of the limited Max HP.
- Example: If a character with 13,000 Max HP receives a 50% Injury effect in a Tier 1 Node War (6,500 HP limit), the Injury will now correctly be applied as 50% of 6,500 HP rather than 13,000.
Node War Reward Improvements
- Increased victory rewards for Node Wars.

Conquest War
The previous Conquest War system divided participants into offensive and defensive sides. Defenders had to withstand massive waves of attackers for a long time, while attackers felt forced to secure maximum numbers to overcome their disadvantage when fighting with equal numbers. This often led to defenders facing overwhelming odds or forfeiting their defense entirely due to the power gap.
To resolve this and add tactical depth to both roles, we have overhauled the rules. If a defending guild exists, only the siege phase will take place. Once the defender's Command Post is destroyed, the Conquest War ends. Rank rewards and the Lord will then be determined based on the Conquest War scores of the participating offensive guilds.
Accordingly, we have significantly adjusted the score gain rules and introduced the Merit Reward system, allowing Adventurers to receive additional rewards based on their performance during the siege, regardless of the final outcome. Additionally, the max time for Conquest War has been reduced to 2 hours, and the area to install annexes within the castle has been expanded. We hope you enjoy these more strategic and fierce battles.
Conquest War Territory Change
Serendia Conquest War has arrived, bringing fierce siege battles. Unlike other territories, Serendia features a castle-less free-for-all stage where every guild is an enemy. Victory is achieved by being the last guild with a standing Command Post when the time runs out. Experience the unique thrill of field combat that differs from standard offensive and defensive sieges.- Changed the Conquest War territories.
- The Serendia Conquest War is no longer an offensive vs. defensive battle. Instead, all participating guilds are enemies. To achieve victory, only one guild Command Post must remain by the end of the match.
- As a result, the point system will not apply. If 2 or more guild Command Posts remain when the time ends, the territory will be liberated.
- The Serendia Conquest War is no longer an offensive vs. defensive battle. Instead, all participating guilds are enemies. To achieve victory, only one guild Command Post must remain by the end of the match.
| Tier | Before | After |
| 1 | Balenos | Serendia |
| 2 | Valencia | Valencia |
| Unlimited | Calpheon | Mediah |
Conquest War - Schedule and Rule Changes

- Updated the rules for each territory as follows:
| Category | Before | After |
| Balenos/Serendia (No Castle) | 1. All participating guilds are enemies. 2. Victory is achieved if only 1 guild's Command Post remains by the end. 3. If 2 or more Command Posts remain at the end, the winner is determined by points. |

If no defensive guild exists or the Command Post/Field HQ is destroyed within 2 hours, the remaining offensive guilds fight until one remains. 4. If 2 or more offensive guilds remain when the battle ends, the winner is determined by score. |

The defensive side wins if the Command Post/Field HQ is defended for 2 hours. 3. (Changed) The offensive side wins if the defensive Command Post/Field HQ is destroyed within 2 hours (winner determined by points). 4. (Changed) If there is no defensive side, the last guild with a remaining Command Post/Field HQ at the end wins. * If 2 or more offensive guild Command Posts/Field HQs remain at the end, the winner is decided by points. |
Conquest War - Participation Requirement
Participation requirements for Conquest War have been updated. Tier 1 nodes are intended as a stage for Adventurers unfamiliar with Node Wars to adapt. However, data shows that Conquest War involves strategic offensive and defensive environments where mostly experienced guilds participate.
We have changed the participation requirement to encourage guilds with the required Gear Score for each tier to challenge higher tiers: Occupy a Tier 2 (Limited) node or higher at least once.
- Changed the participation requirement as follows:
| Before | After |
| Occupy a node of any tier at least once per week | Occupy a Tier 2 (Limited) to Tier 3 (Unlimited) node at least once per week |
Expanded Annex Construction Area and Hwacha Limit Adjustments
- Expanded the area where defensive guilds can build annexes inside the castle following the Conquest War rule changes.
- All annexes, including Flame Towers, Hwachas, Supply Depots, and Recovery Centers, can now be placed freely within the castle.
- Installation remains restricted on rooftops, hidden spaces beneath roofs, entrances, and pathways.
- The location of Dekrogda's Artifact has been adjusted to reflect the expanded installation area.
- Revival locations for the following Inner/Outer Gates have been adjusted:
 Mediah Castle (Inner Gate)
|
 Mediah Castle (Outer Gate)
|
 Valencia Castle (Outer Gate)
|
 Calpheon Castle (Outer Gate)
|
-
- Improved so that defensive annexes can be installed anywhere within the available installation area, regardless of grid position.
- Offensive annex installation remains unchanged.
- Improved so that defensive annexes can be installed anywhere within the available installation area, regardless of grid position.
- Increased the number of Hwachas the Lord's Guild can install by 1.
|
|
Before | After |
| Command Post, Field HQ | 2 | 3 |
- The full list and quantities of annexes that can be built for offensive and defensive sides are as follows.
Conquest War - Gate Durability UI
- Added a UI for the defensive side to monitor Gate Durability during Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia Conquest Wars.
- The UI appears below the minimap on the right side of the screen, along with Command Post Durability.
- The UI now refreshes every 30 seconds after a Fort, Command Post, or Gate is hit (previously 60 seconds).
Conquest War - Point System Rules
- Updated the point system rules for Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia Conquest Wars.
- Serendia is excluded from these changes as it follows different rules.
| Before | After |
|
1. With a Defensive Guild:
- Points earned by killing any non-allied participant or destroying annexes (Flame Towers, Hwachas, etc.) - Points lost when killed by any non-allied participant ※ Combat between offensive guilds (K/D/Destruction) affects points. 2. Without a Defensive Guild: - Points earned via K/D/Destruction between offensive guilds ※ The highest-scoring guild wins and becomes the new Lord. |
1. With a Defensive Guild:
- Points earned by killing defensive members or destroying defensive annexes - Points lost when killed by defensive members * Combat between offensive guilds (K/D/Destruction) does NOT affect points while a defensive guild remains. 2. Without a Defensive Guild: - Points earned via K/D/Destruction between offensive guilds ※ The highest-scoring guild wins and becomes the new Lord. |
Conquest War - Point Adjustments
With this Conquest War revamp, the battle ends immediately if the defender's Command Post is destroyed, and the Lord is determined by Merit Points. In multi-guild battles, the weight of points from defeating enemies was low, meaning the contributions of Adventurers fighting on the front lines were not always accurately reflected. We have adjusted the point structure to ensure contributions on the battlefield are more precisely reflected.- Adjusted the points for Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia Conquest Wars following the rule changes.
- Updated the War Installation Info on the World Map to display "0" for annexes that cannot be installed when checking the Command Post icon.
Conquest War - Merit Reward and Benefits
Previously, the Lord's Guild that gave their all to defense often felt the rewards were insufficient if the tide turned suddenly, leading to a sense of loss. To address this, we added the Merit Reward system to reward contributions made during combat, not just the result. The reward ratio between the offensive and defensive factions is determined by how long the defensive side held out. Additionally, participating in or winning a Conquest War grants a powerful Family buff, and the increased Item Drop Rate for the victorious Lord's Guild now applies to all monster zones within the territory.- Added a Conquest Merit Reward system that grants additional rewards based on participation time and contribution.
- A total of 200 billion Silver is distributed among participating guild members based on contribution. Amounts are rounded up to the nearest 10,000 Silver, so the total payout may slightly exceed the base reward pool.
- Rewards are automatically sent to the Black Spirit's Safe under "Collectible Silver" upon the conclusion of the Conquest War. You can check the details in the Reward Log.
- This system applies only to Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia Conquest Wars (Offensive vs. Defensive structure). Balenos and Serendia are excluded.
- Merit Rewards are only available to members who pressed the "Participate" button and actively joined the battle.
- Rewards are not distributed if there is no defensive guild.
- Rewards are not distributed if the war ends instantly with a defensive victory because only a defensive guild was present.
- Rewards are only distributed to guilds whose Command Post/Field HQ remains standing when the war ends.
- Even if an offensive guild has high contribution, they will not receive Merit Rewards if their Command Post/Field HQ is destroyed before the end of the war. You can attack both offensive and defensive sides with Forced PvP enabled during Conquest Wars without penalties.
| Merit Reward Distribution Rules |
|
| Defensive Success |
The defensive side receives 100% of the Merit Reward (distributed equally among members). |
| Defensive Failure |
The defensive side receives a portion of the reward based on the time they held out (distributed equally among members). |
| Offensive Success |
The reward pool (minus the amount earned by the defensive side) is distributed among surviving offensive guilds based on their points. |
|
※ Defensive Success: All offensive Command Posts/Field HQs are destroyed, or the defensive Command Post/Field HQ survives until the end. |

- Added powerful Family buff benefits to Conquest War participation and victory rewards.
- These buffs are applied immediately after the Conquest War ends. The effects and durations vary based on the result.

| Hwacha/Big Hwacha | Damage dealt to Siege Towers increased by 1,000% | |
- Doubled the amount recovered when repairing Wooden Fences/Wooden Fence Gates with Usable Scantling x2.
Node/Conquest War Quality of Life Improvements
This update includes several improvements to make the Node War and Conquest War experience smoother. You can now upgrade annexes before the start to reduce preparation stress, and a detailed result UI has been added to view guild member contributions at a glance.- Changed so annexes can now be upgraded in advance before Construction Node Wars and Conquest Wars begin.
- Applicable Annexes: Barricade, Flame Tower, Hwacha.
- ※ For Occupation Node Wars, installations and upgrades are still only available after the war starts.
- Improved the Elephant Nursery so you can now select and take out specific elephants during Node/Conquest Wars.
- Changed the Guild Skills "Command to Gather" and "Battle Command to Gather" so they can now be used in the desert.
- Improved the system so the message appears immediately when your installed traps exceed the maximum limit.
- Before: The message "You cannot install any more traps" appeared only after the installation wait time.
- After: The message appears instantly upon the installation attempt.
Node/Conquest War Exclusive System Messages
Since Node War and Conquest War involve many participants, multiple events occur simultaneously. We have added features to help commanders track these events strategically. Also, exclusive system messages have been refined. Track key actions like cannon hits or upgrades in real-time to issue precise commands and lead your guild to victory.- Improved the system notifications for Node/Conquest Wars to be more detailed.
- These messages will display once the war begins.
| Trigger | Notification Example | ||
| Cannon hits building | [Family Name] hit [Guild Name]'s [Annex] with a Lynch Cannon. | ||
| Cannon destroys building | [Family Name] destroyed [Guild Name]'s [Annex] with a Lynch Cannon. | ||
| Kill with Siege Weapon | [Family Name] killed [Family Name] of the [Guild Name] guild while on a [Siege Weapon]. | ||
| Ally died to Siege Weapon | [Family Name] was slain by [Family Name] of the [Guild Name] guild on a [Siege Weapon]. | ||
| Annex Install/Complete | [Family Name]'s [Annex] has been completed. | ||
| Upgrade Complete | [Family Name]'s upgraded [Annex] has been completed. |
Detailed Results UI
New elements have been added to make your impact on the battlefield feel more rewarding.To account for different roles, metrics have been further broken down to include "CC Hits" and "Objects Destroyed by Cannon".
- Added a detailed results UI to view your personal performance after a Node/Conquest War ends.
- This UI appears immediately after the battle and can be reviewed again via the Guild UI - Node War/Conquest War Status.
- You can track specific contributions such as DMG Dealt, CC Hits, Ally HP Healed, Cannon Hits/Destructions, and Traps Triggered.
- Because forts and annexes have very high Durability, the "Total DMG Dealt to Fort/Command Post" may appear significantly higher than other stats.
| Category | Description | ||
| Enemy Kills | Number of enemy guild members killed | ||
| Deaths | Number of times killed by enemy guild members | ||
| Max Killing Streak | Highest number of kills achieved without dying | ||
| DMG Dealt | Total damage dealt to enemy guild members | ||
| DMG Taken | Total damage received by your character | ||
| CC Hits | Number of times CC was successfully applied (counts each target hit) | ||
| HP Healed | HP recovered via potions and skills | ||
| Ally HP Healed | HP recovered for allies (excluding yourself) | ||
| Total DMG Dealt to Fort/Command Post | Total damage dealt to enemy Forts and Command Posts | ||
| Cannon Hits | Number of successful cannon hits (counts as 1 even if multiple targets hit) | ||
| Objects Destroyed by Cannon | Number of enemy objects destroyed by cannon | ||
| Max Cannon Hit Distance | The furthest distance at which a cannon hit was successful | ||
| Traps Triggered | Number of your installed traps that were triggered | ||
| Time Dead | Total time from death to revival | ||
| Time Survived | Total Time - Time Dead |
Destroying Traps with Flares
Previously, traps could not be destroyed once placed until triggered, and annexes could not be built over them. Since many guild members can freely manage a limited number of traps, we have added a strategic counter: you can now use a flare to destroy traps. This allows traps to be used more strategically.- Added a feature that allows enemy traps to be destroyed using Flare and Quick Flare.
- Using a Flare reveals enemy traps within range. You can then attack and destroy them for approximately 10 sec.
- Trap effects will not trigger while the Flare effect is active.
- During Conquest War, you can also destroy ally traps if Forced PvP is enabled. (This also applies outside of Node/Conquest Wars).
