Changes on Boss Monsters

• The final receiving damage decreasing/increasing effect related to the gimmicks of boss monsters will be separated into ‘Damage Reduction’ and ‘Damage Amplification’.
• The change above is applied to prevent the disadvantages from measuring the final receiving damage decreasing/increasing effect. The new ‘Damage Reduction’ and ‘Damage Amplification’ effect reduces or increases all damages to the target.
• Boss monsters will now have a certain resistance and weakness to certain types of debuffs.
  • (Ex: Gaia = Burning Damage Amplification, Apostle of War (ES Adrianne) = Sentence Damage Amplification)
• A new guide about the weaknesses of the bosses will be added to the Tip and buff screen.

Guild Raid (Season 2)

Guild Raid: Dark Knight will be available.

• Schedule: Nov 28, 2024 (Thu) after MA ~ Dec 5 (Thu) 08:59 UTC+9
