✨ New Successor Characters
🔸Lakshmi
Name
Details
Light of Padma
The energy of the sacred lotus reveals hidden truth. It creates a circular energy field that detects hidden units and deals additional damage to heroes with stealth skills. It also grants a small shield effect.
Coin of Prosperity
Golden coins pour out from Lakshmi’s hand, dealing damage to the target and knocking it back. The coins do not disappear easily and bounce off walls, dealing additional damage to the target. Each time a projectile bounces off a wall, its damage increases by n%.
Golden Lotus
A giant cluster of golden lotuses blooms at the designated location. The golden lotuses continuously fire light projectiles at the nearest enemy within range.
Blessed Ground
A huge golden pool appears and blesses the ground with power. Enemies standing in the pool take damage per tick and are affected by a debuff that reduces damage. Also, while standing in the pool, one random buff on the enemy may be removed with a certain probability.
Goddess’s Veil
A giant lotus leaf is summoned and becomes a barrier that blocks incoming attacks and movement from the front for a certain period of time. It grants a small movement speed increase buff and a damage increase buff. Monsters can destroy this barrier after attacking it several times, while heroes can destroy it only with certain skills.
Multiple arms of Asura are manifested and unleash merciless consecutive attacks on enemies in front. It penetrates a certain portion of the target’s EVA to deal continuous damage and reduces the target’s healing amount for a certain period of time.
Blood Wheel
Fires a Blood Wheel at enemies. The Blood Wheel spreads in a 360-degree direction and does not disappear easily, bouncing off walls. Each time a projectile bounces off a wall, its damage increases by n%.
Asura Battlefield
Extends the hand of a hell spirit and pulls the enemy in front of you. The pulled target is briefly stunned. The first attack against the target partially penetrates the target’s shield and deals additional damage.
Shadow of the War God
Hides within the dust and killing intent of the battlefield. The user enters stealth for a certain period of time and movement speed increases. The first attack after stealth deals additional damage.
Asura Iron Body
The War God’s hardened body blocks all upward attacks and movement coming from above for a certain period of time. It also grants a small damage increase buff.
Balance details are subject to change until the patch, and changes will be added at the bottom of the notice.
Overall Direction
Melee-type skills are generally buffed, and movement skills are adjusted so combos can flow more smoothly.
Specific debuffs such as increased mana consumption, which were concentrated in many skills, are redistributed into newly added or reworked debuff types so debuffs can counter each other.
Each skill is reworked so that all skills can have clearer type-based strengths and weaknesses.
Ground effect skills are adjusted so they can provide continuous support effects through debuffs and damage while placed on the field.
Melee-type skills are adjusted so they can quickly attack while penetrating shields and EVA.
Ranged-type skills are adjusted so they can use more varied strategies through debuff changes and related effects.

Details
CDR debuff type change
When a skill grows, the CDR reduction debuff can now exceed 100% on the target. If the target’s CDR value becomes negative (-n), the target’s skill reload time increases. This allows strategies that delay enemy skill reload time.
Return of status ailment / debuff removal effect
The status ailment removal effect from the previous Healing power of water skill returns. It is changed from a type that lasted for n seconds to a one-time effect that activates only once at the moment of casting. It does not apply to knockback or black hole types. Also, a debuff type is added that can remove one buff from another target with a low probability.
Return of target damage reduction debuff
A debuff that reduces the target’s damage by n% returns.
Added debuff that reduces target damage buffs
A new debuff type is added that reduces the target’s existing damage buff by n%, similar to Defense Rune.
Added healing reduction debuff
An anti-heal type effect is added that reduces HP, MP, and summoned unit HP recovery.

Fixed an issue where HP was lost due to field sync when moving between fields
Fixed cases where players were judged as dead and lost experience after reconnecting following a disconnection during Frost War / Arena and similar content
Fixed a bug where multi-hit skill damage did not apply properly because character position and server-recognized position were different when using knockback skills
Market access is now allowed in PK Leverage Zones and dungeons
Mana Healer NPC added to the Free Arena waiting room and battle zone
In Free Arena mode, the “Equalized” mode is changed to work the same way as field sync, based on the Map 2 field standard
Fixed a bug where Blue lightning remained on the ground
Targeting weight changed: automatic targeting now searches in the following priority order: target already hit and maintained for 5 seconds > closer target > target within forward field of view > target with lower HP ratio score
