Eternal Return: Here Are the Balancing Adjustments in the Latest Patch

The unique multiplayer online survival arena game Eternal Return got a new patch loaded with balancing adjustments. Developer Nimble Neuron made changes to test subjects based on statistics in Update 0.88.0.

Li Dailin has her basic attack amp per glove mastery level reduced from 2.1% to 1.9%. Sua's skill amp has also decreased from 4% to 3.7% per hammer mastery level.

Silvia's passive, Lumia Grand Prix, got a couple of nerfs in Update 0.88.0. One, the attack speed bonus given when entering a new area is now set to 0.1/0.4/0.7% (down from 0.4/0.8/1.2%). Two, the skill amp bonus provided by Lumia Grand Prix has reduced from 0.4/0.8/1.2 to 0.1/0.4/0.7.

According to the company, Update 0.88.0 is the last patch of the ranked season, so they wanted to avoid dramatic changes that would affect character play. Instead, they focused on making minor adjustments based solely on high-tier ranked statistics.
