Key Updates
As a result of the first private test, some updates and changes have been implemented to improve the gameplay experience. Key updates include:
- New Strategies and Combat Styles

- This is to improve combat responsiveness along with situational awareness during battle.
- Basic Attack Improvements
- The average attack damage of all weapons has increased.
- This should lower the gap between experienced and new players.
