Preview information 21st October 2026: Battle Strength, balancing changes and the stats of various monsters are going to be overhauled during the regular maintenance.

1. Battle Strength Changes

The way Battle Strength is calculated is being updated to better reflect a character’s real development.

Stats which only have a small impact on a character’s Battle Strength will only play a smaller role in the calculation, if any. At the same time, stats which have a much bigger impact on the Battle Strength but were not well reflected, will now have a larger impact on the calculation.

The stats window has been updated so character stats can be seen in detail.

Previously hidden stats such as Continual Damage on Attack or Used Skill Cooldown Reset Chance can now be seen in the stats.

As the stats interface now shows much more detail, a favourites feature has been added so you can more easily see the stats you’re interested in.

As the new calculations make a major impact on Battle Strength, the requirements and limits to content has been updated.

2. Balancing Changes and Monster Stats

The balancing changes in this update are designed to make characters’ group synergies much more equal.

For characters with a supporting role, some synergies are being changed to general group synergies. At the same time, identical effects cannot be stacked.

In light of the changed group synergies and collected raid data, the attacks of certain characters has been changed.

Skill rotations have also been made smoother.

Since group synergies have such a big impact on completing raids, the HP of raid bosses and megabosses has been adjusted accordingly.
