10/24 (Thu) Balance Adjustment Preview (Edited 10/24 21:02) [261]
※ (Edited 10/24 21:02) An additional adjustment has been made to the patch notes concerning the condition of Peacemaker Furious's skill, Corner Them!. In exchange for alleviating the condition by which Corner Them! granted an extra attack with the same skill, the Combat Readiness Increase effect had been eliminated. However, the fix was mistakenly omitted in the patch notes. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue.
After releasing the 10/24 (Thu) Balance Adjustment preview, we have gathered various opinions from our Heirs.After careful review, we've decided to revise the previously announced adjustments to the 5★ Moonlight Hero, Silver Blade Aramintha and the 5★ Covenant Hero, Mort.

We've updated a portion of Mort's description text to ensure that readers avoid any potential misunderstandings.

This skill's cooldown is reset when the enemy is defeated. |
| Damage Dealt Increased |
Melissa's Manifestation will be adjusted to address the difficulty in reliably utilizing the damage increase effect based on her lost Health. With this change, the effect of increasing damage based on lost Health will be removed, and her base damage will be increased, allowing her to more consistently take down enemies.
In line with this balance adjustment, Melissa's Exclusive Equipment Effect 3 will be adjusted as follows.

With the changes to Elena's Exclusive Equipment, players will be able to change the effects on this Exclusive Equipment for 2 weeks following the balance adjustment.

Absolute Dignity now gains an effect that prevents all Heroes, except for the caster, from counterattacking, while the effect that allowed him to counterattack when hit will change to allow allies to counterattack when hit he himself was hit, will change to allow him to counterattack when any ally is hit.
. Additionally, the activation condition for Sacred Blessing will be changed to activate after a counterattack, and its effect will now grant skill nullifier once instead of Increased Critical Hit Resistance and its cooldown will be increased by one turn. Advent: Mortelix now applies a new debuff called Fear to all enemies, disrupting their actions while also penetrating some of the Defense of the enemy with the highest Max Health, allowing for significant damage. Furthermore, all attack skills will have an effect that ignores Effect Resistance for targets with lower Max Health than Mort, and the damage from Extermination will be increased.
(Edited 24/10/02) To enhance Mort's ally protection abilities, the Sacred Blessing effect was going to be changed from increasing Critical Hit Resistance to granting Skill Nullifier. However, we found this change provided high Defense, even in unexpected circumstances. Therefore, the effect will be adjusted once again from granting Skill Nullifier to a barrier effect. While this may reduce its ability to block a single huge damage, it will be more effective against repeated attacks or a type of attack that inflicts injury continuously.
In line with this balance adjustment, Mort's Exclusive Equipment Effect 2 will be adjusted as follows.
Exclusive Equipment – Option 2 (Before) | Exclusive Equipment – Option 2 (After) |
Extends buff duration of Sacred Blessing's increased Critical Hit Resistance by 1 turn. | Extends buff duration of Sacred Blessing's increased Speed by 1 turn. |

Yulha will see improvements in the reflect and Soulburn effect, which had previously been somewhat lacking in usability.
The reflect effect from Malicious Smile will be improved to also reflect attacks other than single target attacks, allowing for a reflection of up to 40% of the damage received. Additionally, the Soulburn effect from Symphony of Agony will change from granting additional turns to increasing damage output, enabling a more reliable way to take down enemies.
Blooming Lidica

Blooming Lidica will see improvements in the usability of Fruit of Ecstasy.
With this adjustment, Fruit of Ecstasy now includes an effect that penetrates 50% of the target's Defense. This means that even if there isn't a significant Speed difference between Blooming Lidica and the target, she will still be able to inflict substantial damage.

Desolation (Before) | Desolation (After) |
Attacks all enemies by releasing strong Mana, with a 75% chance to silence for 2 turns. | Attacks all enemies with powerful magic, with an 80% chance to decrease Defense for 2 turns. |
Auxiliary Lots is being adjusted to reduce its effectiveness in PvE while enhancing its performance in PvP.
The combination of Auxiliary Lots's short cooldown skill, Mana Injection, and Spirit's Breath artifact had created situations where its efficiency in specific content became excessively high, making it difficult to control.
As a result, we aim to adjust its usability in certain PvE content while allowing Auxiliary Lots to shine more in PvP.
The cooldown of Mana Injection will be increased, but the amount of Soul gained will also rise, and it will now grant allies Exploiting Weak Points, allowing for more effective support of their attack capabilities. The effects that increase the caster's Attack and Combat Readiness will be removed.
Desolation's effect, which previously silenced all enemies, will be changed to decrease their Defense instead. If the additional turn from the Soulburn is utilized, it will be possible to reduce the enemy's Defense and immediately follow up with Mana Injection to enable high Attack allies to easily overwhelm the enemies.
We apologize for any changes in your gameplay experience due to these adjustments to Auxiliary Lots. As a result of this adjustment, a recall will be conducted, including the selection of a Moonlight Hero of the same grade as Auxiliary Lots.
4★ Auxiliary Lots Recall
The recall for Auxiliary Lots is scheduled to take place from 10/24/2024 after the maintenance until 11/7/2024, at 02:59 UTC, lasting for two weeks. Only Auxiliary Lots obtained in the Hero Inventory before the maintenance on 10/24 will be eligible for the recall. If you have Auxiliary Lots stored in the Storage or Waiting Room, please move them to your Hero Inventory before the maintenance on 10/24. Additionally, you can only recall one Hero of the same type during the recall period. The schedule and specific recall methods will be announced again in the update notice on 10/24.
When recalling Auxiliary Lots, you will be able to select and exchange it for a Moonlight Hero of the same grade that has been released as of the recall start date. However, Heroes that do not appear in summons (such as Free Spirit Tieria) will be excluded from the selection.
When you proceed with the recall of the 4★ Moonlight Hero, Auxiliary Lots, depending on the Memory Imprint grade of the recall target, you will receive Memory Imprint material called Meteorshard, which can be used for Memory Imprinting 4★ Moonlight Heroes.
If you wish to receive a Hero instead of Meteorshards for the Hero consumed in imprinting, please submit a 1:1 inquiry through the Epic Seven Customer Service with the Meteorshards you received after the recall before the end of November. We will verify the log history of the players who submitted 1:1 inquiries and provide them with the consumed Auxiliary Lots instead of Meteorshards. Please note that Auxiliary Lots received this way will not be eligible for recall.
We apologize once again for any inconvenience caused by this issue. We will continue to carefully monitor and review the balance trends to provide a stable gameplay experience.

Now, damage will be increased without any Health difference conditions, and if the target's Health is above 50%, it will deal even greater damage, allowing for more versatile use in various situations.
1-3. Battle System Adjustments
Currently, the battle system in Epic Seven operates on a mechanism where if the additional turn effect occurs more than once in a single turn due to certain artifacts, all effects are stored and granted as stacked additional turns. While there are probability variables involved, this can sometimes lead to situations where the battle is excessively influenced, potentially causing frustration during battles. Therefore, we plan to revise the battle rules to prevent additional turns from being stacked.
How the Effect Works (Before) | How the Effect Works (After) |
If extra turns occur twice or more in a single turn, extra turns will continue to occur in subsequent turns. | If extra turns occur twice or more in a single turn, only one extra turn will be applied, and no additional turns will occur in subsequent turns. |
However, we acknowledge that this system adjustment may decrease the usability of certain artifacts. As a result, a recall will be conducted for the 5★ Artifact, Rhianna & Luciella, and the 3★ Artifact, Butterfly Mandolin. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by these changes.
5★ Rhianna & Luciella, 3★ Butterfly Mandolin Recall - 10/24 (Thu) after the maintenance – 11/7 (Thu) 02:59 UTC
• Recall Target - The following Artifacts that have been acquired prior to the 10/24 (Thu) maintenance will be eligible for recall. Artifact / 5★ Rhianna & Luciella Artifact / 3★ Butterfly Mandolin
• Recall Conditions - Artifacts eligible for recall that meet the minimum recall condition of 1,800 EXP for Artifact Charm can be recalled an unlimited number of times during the recall period.
* Artifacts that are Limit Broken at least once can be recalled regardless of the EXP. * The requirements for achieving a cumulative Artifact Enhance EXP of 1,800 are listed below.
• Recall Scope and Reimbursement - 5★ Rhianna & Luciella, 3★ Butterfly Mandolin ① All enhancements for this Artifact will reset when recalled. ② Lesser/Greater/Epic Artifact Charms will be reimbursed based on the EXP of the Artifact. ③ The reimbursed Gold will be calculated as the Gold that would be consumed by the reimbursed Artifact charms. ④ The number of Artifacts reimbursed will be based on the Limit Break. |
These are the scheduled balance adjustments and improvements for the update on 10/24.
Each of the adventure stories of our Heirs echoes throughout Orbis, in the Seventh World. We are grateful to be with you on your Epic Seven journey. We will continue to try our best to improve the Heroes in our game so that every character can be utilized by our Heirs.
Thank you.

I don't see the adjustment here for
3★ Butterfly Mandolin, but it has a recall.
Why does it need a recall?
I really wanted initial 2nd preban if you guys going to keep 3rd slot ban protect
I am still shocked they have not announced a reversion on A.Lots nerf or Spirits Breath recall, either of those should be happening.
SmileGate still has time, put the ''Ignore Effect Resistance'' of Mort's third skill to cost 20 Souls.
Why change skill nullifier to barrier? If it was too much might as well keep it crit resist.
Crazy that you nerf auxlots and not give recall for spirits breath
Why would they tho?
Meh, me genera mas frustracion el dual 3% que los turnos excesivos entre habilidad y artefacto.
Morts major issue was landing def breaks which is now much better, damage improvement looks good, to help deal with the tanks in this meta, he still needs injury on S1. Up to 15% injury on S1 and he will work great. Barrier change proportional to hero lvl would be better to help allies survive incoming damage as Morts base hp is low for a knight Barrier Inversion exists to punish mort as well as many dispels. The 3 turn cooldown for it to activate is also well balanced.
As for Last Rider Krau, his issue was the barriers limit of once per turn. As an ML5 if his barriers activated without cooldown such as "activates every time an AoE attack is received" This would make his barriers unique for an ML5 and further improve his survivability as well as his allies. This would also allow his S3 to be used more than once before being killed in battle. Overall good changes hope to see this quantity in future balance patches :D
Why is Elena's changed EE not the first or the third EE? Her value will change quite a lot lol
Hwayoung gonna stay dumpster tier forever 💀
For TE Kayron to have a higher floor and Celing is interesting, I am however worried that the base damage of his S3 being nerfed will decrease the damage so much that I won’t be able to run him as pure damage and have to switch him to a long lasting damage dealer which may prove more difficult as of right now I can use him for my one shot teams on his first or second turn not even needing his extra damage to defeat the entire enemy team. I am worried that the nerf will cause his base damage to be reduced enough that I won’t be able to use him in such teams and resort to only being able to defeat an enemy when he has maxed fighting spirit which will kill him for me since I love him as he is right now and would only suggest that his S1 gets a debuff like decrease hit chance so he can run dodge artifacts, other than that I’ve used him in current rta even against ML Cermia and Harsetti and he had no issues winning me the matches
10k hp
4.8k attack
41 er
126 speed
265 CD
With moonlight dreamblade activated and the opponent having decreased defense he can deal 26k to an armin and more to dark units before the extra damage
Pleaseee, just let Auxiliary Lots have is old kit. He's just one of a few good PvE unit and changing him into a PvP unit is a bis loss for us. You guys haven't release much PvE unit and most are only useable on PvP. Please just let him be
Devs are still trying to nerf A.Lots :(
Could have changed extra turn mechanic in 2019/2020 when Baiken constantly taking 7 turns in a row
Yes yes yes! Love this patch! Can we give our non-ML 4-stars some love too? Dominiel needs her S2 to be an active skill once more, along with various other improvements to long forgotten 4-stars.
2nded on this. Been waiting for her to get some love as she's basically been useless since they changed her kit and made her reflect RNG.
Okay, imagine Mort uses his s3, fears the entire enemy team and they don't break out turn 1. Turn 2 they break out of fear and hit someone then suddenly they have to break skill nullifiers. That's 2 turns the enemy lost, 3 if they are really unlucky and don't break out of it on the first turn. That's insanely broken. None of you have any battle experience if you think his skill null was the only good buff on him. His fear debuff is strong, his passive that BLOCKS ALL COUNTERATTACKS is oppressive enough, and he has built in elbris. BUILT IN ELBRIS.... This would break the game if he had skill null. And he's an hp scaler so he's already harder to kill than typical dps units.
He has **** base hp as a Knight (he will not ignore a lot of high hp meta unit)... **** base spd.. The fear can be self cleansed by the likes of ATywin, Dilibet. It also doesnt go through immunity and can miss. Lets not forget it is rng.. Now the skill null is changed to barrier...
I swear to God. Please give him a chance before talking shyt. People like you is the reason why PFLAN change is cancelled and it is NOT even funny now!!
epic7#7s2twvSo you're saying we might not have to instant Yield and he doesn't ignore every single mechanic in the game? That changes everything.
Fear is the same as Stun until the target's turn and it has 100% inflict chance.
It'd be irresponsible to "give him a chance" since once released a broken unit they're never nerfing it because of past backslash and recalls and that's what got us in this endless pit. What's reasonable is to buff him again later if he's not sufficiently strong in his niche.
What got Pirate Flan cancelled wasn't people arguing that she was broken but all the screaming that it was a nerf and the threats of trucks and compensation, this is not the same at all.
Another thing that doesn't make much sense is that a Covenant hero you can even get maxed for free today gets to be stronger than many Moonlight heroes and removes one of them from the game altogether by supplanting her and would neuter a handful of others, but since it's "the great Mortelix" there's a bandwagon behind it.
TheAdmireOh wow instant yield? Do you even play the game? He is slow and low base health as a knight.. He can still be provoked, silenced, reset, pushbacked.
Do u want to play ER mort? Good luck with his low as* base hp.
Do u want to play ER, HP boot mort? Good luck he is just gonna get one tapped or the opponent has immunity already. Oh lets not forget even if the fear landed, u can rng to dispell it LMAO.
Maybe u should build Blue Tywin if you fear him and just starting the game.
Same same. PLAN was cancelled because the likes of you dont like the changes (it is not even a nerf lmao), doesnt want to adapt or even test her.
Idk man ,i think Lidica still Bad
Thanks for responsibly making further adjustments based on feedback. Here are some suggestions to further balance Mort:
1. Ignore Effect Resistance on S3 is too strong: either remove it altogether or at least make it cost 20 souls (suggested by other players already).
2. Fear on S3 is too strong, effectively being an AoE 2-turn stun: either rework Fear to check on someone's turn or an ally's turn (assuming the 40% dispel chance happens on the bearer's turn in its current form), or reduce the duration to 1 turn. Compare to Ambitious Tywin, his AoE stun has 80% chance of being applied, lasts 1 turn, and its Ignore Effect Resistance has a condition that can be countered in multiple ways, meanwhile Mort only needs to have higher Max HP.
3. Turning off Counterattack on S2 is too strong: instead of a fully passive skill make it so that at the start of his turn it applies a buff that has the same effect and lasts 1 turn. This at least would add more counters to it than just the Seal debuff.
You are literally want to delete his whole kit rofl..
Meanwhile it's tank meta and he can't have more hp than tank or any other char with HP aura(Mort doesn't have HP aura). So every ml cancer like ml Senya or ml Landy for example will always have more hp than him. Hell, even Harsetti has more hp than him. And she is a mage. Before you suggest something, please think a little. It's a tank meta and he is already useless after they changed his buff to barrier.
He is a niche nontank counter because of S2, or highly debatable pick against injury setup
The funny thing is that your suggestions will make him insta bottom tier, considering the fact, that he is already niche, that can be insta killed, after they changed his buff anticrit/nulifier. That barrier not gonna save him against strong single target hits. Mort lost his identity after that change. I'm pretty sure that i can 1shot him through the barrier
Follow up post with some of the rationale:
We appreciate that you're working hard to bring heroes back to play in exciting ways but Mort's changes seem too overpowered and it's better to err on the side of caution than releasing an unbalanced unit that you're discouraged from "nerfing" because of concerns of backslash and recalls, you can always give him further adjustments if he really isn't strong enough.
Making an unit so strong that begs picking every game only serves to reduce diversity and make the game less enjoyable for many, and you'd find that many agree that we don't really want more Death Dealer Ray and Blood Moon Haste situations either.
Maybe if you focused on making Mort an anti-Counterattack hero (even though that was already Astromancer Elena's niche) instead of being an all-around juggernaut terror then he'd attain sufficient relevancy as a counter-pick against those enemy heroes in a healthy manner.
Finally, thank you to those giving constructive feedback.
I believe what Twisted Eidoleon Kayron needs is to either change his base damage to HP or to give him extra stats such as ER/CRIT or even indomitable buff at the start of battle that lasts for 3 turns similar to ML Ken vigor buff. As it stands what most players will use Twisted Eidoleon Kayron for is not for his counters but to just unleash S3 immediately since he needs too many stats to function in todays Meta. While this current balance patch improves his damage; his main issue is surviving the enemy strong attacks and having enough Effect Resistance to get stunned/slept or stripped. Indomitable buff at the start of battle would greatly help alleviate the current issues many heirs are expressing in towards Twisted Eidoleon Kayron.
So Mort grants barriers instead? That's not bad. After all, since this based on health, they are still great. Just not as a bit too much as Skill null. This is fair.
Yeah. Please let this be the final....
Next edit: We decided to change the whole patch for a 3 leafs and 150k gold give away. Regards your SG. 👍
Very good balance patch, it's necessary to increase the amount of heroes per patch with how many heroes are released now..
The only improvement that could be made here would be a spirit's breath recall for those that powdered/potioned/pulled for dupes specifically for use on Auxiliary Lots in PVE since that interaction is being removed.
Now THIS is a proper balance patch, this is what we always deserved and loved to see, good job SmileGate good job Super Creative this is a sight to behold, keep it up please don't go back to 2-3 characters pet balance patch anymore and your game will be truly one of a kind!
Now I'm gonna just address the elephant in the room and ask, where is my poor girl Pirate Captain Flan boys... where is she in the list... please don't tell me you abandoned her entirely please don't...
but still thank you guys thank you! I appreciate the effort and I'm sure everyone else also do appreciate your time and effort you put into this balance patch!
10/10 patch, mort is a bit uhhhhh op af but u guys cooked, these are the type of patches we want. remove 3p ban protect
