IMPORTANT! The patch notes are for the VIETNAM server, not the Global one. Global will receive this update on the 19th of September as that’s the day Season 2 starts for us.

In order to improve your game experience, the server will undergo maintenance on September 11 from 7.00 to 8:00 UTC to update to Version 1.2.1. You will not be able to log in during this time. For the safety of your account data, please exit the game before the maintenance begins. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
