There will be a balance readjustment for Souls on the upcoming update on Jan 23.
The rebalancing will include not only Linzy (Thanatos), Dora, Kanna, and Edith,
but also Mephistopheles (Dawn), from collecting your feedback.
Please check below for further details,
and please note that the details below are subject to change.
Mephistopheles (Dawn) – Recusant of Causality
Previously, Mephistopheles (Dawn) is made as a damage dealer that can have a high peak point by growing the Idea level, however, she was not as strong as our intentions, for her preparation time was too long and the condition was hard to meet.
Therefore, we have readjusted her skill effects to make her growth of Idea level more faster to perform her full performance.
Additionally, since her performance was lower than the intention in the Guild Raid, we made an overall adjustment rather than simply distributing the additional damage from Idea level to level 1.
■ Main Skill – Code: Fate Break
We have a lot of feedback from her main skill that it was hard to use her main skill due to the characteristic of the skill – prioritizing the enemy with the lowest hp – that occasionally targets the tanker. Thus, we have changed the targeting condition to the enemy with the highest ATK to make her to target enemy damage dealers effectively.
Additionally, we have empowered the power of ‘Idea Level: I’ state since we considered that her power in the state was not as strong as our intention.
| Level | Before | After |
| Lv1 | Channels the condensed power of the ark to pierce through the enemy with the lowest HP, dealing damage equal to 300% of ATK and stunning them for 3 sec. | Channels the condensed power of the ark to pierce through the enemy with the highest ATK, dealing damage equal to 380% of ATK and stunning them for 3 sec. |
■ Sub Skill – Ark Discharge
– First, we intended to deal massive damage as an initiator skill, and gradually become stronger by enhancing the power of normal attack and Speed, however, the power was too weak in “Idea Level:I” state, and the preparation was too long. Thus, we have improved her.
– By removing the preparation time of “Balance Break” debuff, now Mephistopheles (Dawn) will deal more damage to her target.
| Level | Before | After |
| Lv1 | Slashes the nearest enemy with her wing to deal damage equal to 175% of ATK while granting the “Accelerate” buff to herself, increasing normal attack damage by 20% and Speed by 5% (stacks up to 5 times). When this buff reaches 5 stacks, her normal attack deals additional damage equal to 50% of ATK and inflicts a stack of “Balance Break” debuff on the target, decreasing their DEF and Physical/Magic Resistance by 2% (stacks up to 10 times) for 8 sec. | Slashes the nearest enemy with her wing to deal damage equal to 235% of ATK while granting the “Accelerate” buff to herself, increasing normal attack damage by 40% and Speed by 10% (stacks up to 3 times).

| Lv3 | If “Idea Level” is III, deals additional damage equal to 100% of ATK. If “Accelerate” is at 5 stacks, deals additional damage equal to 300% of ATK. | If “Idea Level” is III, deals additional damage equal to 100% of ATK. If “Accelerate” is at 3 stacks, deals additional damage equal to 300% of ATK. |
■ Sub Skill – Anti Plot
– Readjusted the shield amount to gain a higher amount than before, without changing based on HP.
– Added a CC-immune effect to the shield to give her more “freedom” when she has a shield.
| Level | Before | After |
| Lv1 | Folds her wing to deliver a single, piercing strike to the nearest enemy, dealing damage equal to 220% of ATK and gaining a shield equal to 150% of ATK for 12 sec.

■ Passive Skill – Code: Idea
– The “Tracking Causality” buff from incapacitating enemies wasn’t effective in increasing the Idea Level unless delivering the final blow with ultimate or main skill. Thus, we have increased the gaining speed and effect of “Tracking Causality”.
| Level | Before | After |
| Lv1 | All attacks trigger without cooldowns. Starts battle with the “Idea Level I” buff, which increases her damage dealt by 20% and decreases her total damage received by 20%. | All attacks trigger without cooldowns.

Grants another stack upon defeating an enemy with this skill. If “Idea Level” is II or higher, deals additional damage equal to 200% of ATK. |
■ Artifact Skill – Idea Protocol
– Previously, the power was too low when the grade of the Artifact was low, and the required grade for main – main – ultimate – main combo was too high. Thus, we have readjusted them.
– We have increased the overall power of the skill, for simply distributing the pre-existed effects by level may cause problems in some sections where the effects are lower than before.
