1/24 (Fri) Arena Matchmaking Improvements Preview [14]

Hello, Heirs! This is Epic Seven. We'd like to announce that improvements is schedule to be made to Arena matchmaking through the patch on 1/24 (Fri).

11/21 (Thu) Hellion Lua Balance Adjustment Preview [97]

Hello. This is Epic Seven. We would like to inform you that the 5★ Moonlight Hero, Hellion Lua, will undergo a balance adjustment. Hellion Lua was designed as a high Speed Hero with versatile utility. Her skill, Lua's Challenge, can provoke enemies, limiting their actions while granting powerful effects such as increasing Combat Readiness of all allies and triggering Counterattacks after being attacked. Her design focused on making a significant presence when enemies take action, rather than relying solely on quickly ending battles by chaining ally turns after her own. However, her passive skill, Lua Squad, becomes considerably less effective against Heroes that limit Counterattacks, and if the provoke effect from Lua's Challenge fails, her overall impact is noticeably diminished. Following her release, many Heirs voiced their concerns about her usability, and data analysis also confirmed that her performance fell short of the design's original intentions. In light of this, we are impl

12/21 (Thu) Balance Adjustment Preview [34]

Hello Heirs. This is Epic Seven. We would like to inform you that the 5★ Limited Covenant Hero, Byblis, will undergo a balance adjustment. Originally designed to counter Heroes with counterattacks and limit their attacking power simultaneously, Byblis received feedback from many Heirs regarding her overall usability. The primary concern was the significant variability in battle results based on the efficacy of her skill, "I'm Warning You," and the perception that her ability to limit counterattacks was not sufficient enough compared to enemy counterattacks. This resulted in her lacking strength against counterattacks. Upon analyzing the actual battle data, we have confirmed that Byblis's usability did not meet our expectations. In light of this, we are implementing a balance adjustment for the 5★ Limited Covenant Hero, Byblis. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding as the balance adjustment will be applied during the Limited Covenant Summon period. ※ T
