Teachings of the earth	Multi-hit ratio	90%	100%
Teachings of the earth	Number of fields	3	1
Teachings of the earth	Field range	2.5m	4m
Teachings of the earth	Cast range	7m	8m
Teachings of the earth	Activation type	0.2s delay	Instant activation

Reason
This adjustment is intended to prevent damage + critical buff combinations from becoming too strong and making other hero metas unusable.

---

🔹 Iskandar

Skill	Stat / Function	Current	Planned
Will Destroy	Debuff duration	6s	7s
Will Destroy	Multi-hit ratio	33%	32%
Will Destroy	Base attack	380	350

Wrath of fire	Damage increase buff growth per level	0.4%	0.2%
Red Bombardment	Duration	0.8s	1s

Reason
This adjustment reduces overpowered buff efficiency and partially improves low-usage skills.

---

🔹 Ishtar

Skill	Stat / Function	Current	Planned
Little Demon	Damage increase buff base value	5%	6%
Little Demon	Damage increase buff growth per level	0.4%	0.6%
Little Demon	Physical Critical Damage buff	None	Added: base value 3%, growth 0.6%

Annihilation	Penetration effect growth	1.5%	2%
Annihilation	Multi-hit ratio	38%	45%
Annihilation	Base attack	429	440
Babylon’s Cry	Duration	0.8s	1s

Reason
Damage growth will be adjusted so Ishtar can become an evasive burst-damage character, and low-usability skills such as Glare will be improved.

---

🔹 Aruru

Skill	Stat / Function	Current	Planned
Goddess of all	Critical rate increase base value	12%	8%
Goddess of all	Damage increase base value	12%	10%

Absolute Fear	World cooldown	1.2s	0.5s
Absolute Fear	Multi-hit ratio	36%	40%
Absolute Fear	Target mana cost increase debuff duration	15s	10s

Reason
Since the summon meta is already stable, low-usage skills will receive small improvements. Awakening Despair has a strong damage reduction debuff, but this was missing from the skill description, which may have reduced its usability. For now, we will continue observing it.

5. Dash-Type Adjustments

Category	Stat / Function	Current	Planned
Wandering / Rush	Reload time	11s	9.8s
Dash Attack / Jump Attack	Damage reduction rate applied to self during the skill	88%	95%
Dash Attack / Jump Attack	MP cost	Current value	Reduced by 30
Dash Attack	Knockback distance	1m	2m

Reason
Melee skills still have very low usability, so their overall usability will be improved to make combos easier to execute.
Moon storm will keep its 3.6s duration because all hits end at the 9-combo point. With good control, it can be connected directly into Void Breaker.

---

6. Melee Combo Adjustments

Skill / Category	Stat / Function	Current	Planned
All combo skills	MP cost	Current value	Reduced by 30
Combo skills	World cooldown	0.5s	0.1s

Crimson Fury	Base attack	374	500
Crimson Fury	Shield penetration	15%	20%
Void Breaker	Base attack	440	500
Void Breaker	EVA / Shield penetration base value	35%	45%

Reason
Melee skills still have very low usability, so this adjustment improves combo flow and supports a fast approach into burst damage. Since this may become OP, we will continue observing the results after the patch.

---

7. Summon Adjustments

Category / Skill	Stat / Function	Current	Planned
Multi-hit summons	Damage calculation	Error present	Fixed

Friend of Enkidu	Base HP	2800	2500
Metaphysics	Base HP	3100	2900
Sheep Sheep Sheep	Base HP	2700	2400
Three little pigs	Base HP	2600	2300

Reason
Damage errors in high-tier summons will be fixed, while lower-tier summon HP and overall summon HP growth will be reduced.
The damage calculation issue for summons using multi-hit attacks will be fixed. The value itself will not change greatly, but slight differences may occur.

---

8. Knockback Adjustments

Category	Current	Planned
Knockback distance of multi-hit knockback skills	3m	2m
Knockback distance of Vajra fires / Full moon	3.5m	2.5m

🔹 Lakshmi

Skill	Stat / Function	Current	Planned

Blessed Land	Base attack	90	86
Blessed Land	Multi-hit ratio	12%	13%
Goddess Veil	Reload time	Current value	14s
Goddess Veil	Ammo count	3	2

Reason
This prevents Gold Coin of Abundance from taking the position of Vajra fires / Full moon and builds it into a position similar to Blood Ring.
Blessed Land will be reset to match the usage pattern of normal field-type skills.
Other skills have low usage, but considering their use in siege battles, they will receive only slight buffs.

Asura Body	Damage increase base value	4%	5%
