BATTLE CRUSH – Ver. 1.1

  • Release date: July 18th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
  • Patch notes:
Calixer Balancing Adjustments 
 
  • Poseidon
    • Prevented the situation where Poseidon unintentionally performs combos after performing a Heavy Attack once.
  • Diana
    • Reduced the Delay time after using Dodge Attack / Heavy Attack / Light Attack / Special 
    • Reduced the time it takes to retrieve the arrows after using Diana’s Special
Improved overall post-action delay of Diana due to the movement speed improvement.
Additionally, Diana’s Special has been improved to allow for the execution of more aggressive combos.
 
  • Freyja
    • Adujsted Freyja’s Light Attack Strikes 1 & 2 to hit 25% faster
    • Reduced the delay time of Light Attack Strike 3 / Heavy Attack 
Due to improvements in movement speed, Freyja’s Divinity magic speed has been increased.
Given the nature of her light attacks, which are piercing and have additional effects,
this adjustment aims to enhance her ability to both attack enemies and support allies effectively, even if the activation timing is delayed.
  • Seri
    • Increased the amount of Stamina consumed for Seri’s Heavy Attacks
      • Stamina Consumed Before: 35
      • Stamina Consumed After: 40
  • Dandi
    • Increased the amount of Stamina consumed when Dandi begins Charging upon using Heavy Attacks 
      • Stamina Consumed Before: 10
         
      • Stamina Consumed After: 15
    • Increased the Cooldown of Dandi’s Special
      • Cooldown Before: 12 Sec
         
      • Cooldown After: 18 Sec
  • Hercules
    • Increased the amount of Stamina consumed for Hercules’ Heavy Attack Strike 2 
       
      • Stamina Consumed Before: 25
         
      • Stamina Consumed After: 30
    • The activation time for Hercules’ Super Armor after performing Heavy Attack Strike 2 has been slightly delayed 
It was not intended for the Super Armor effect to occur immediately after using Heavy Attack Strike 2,
so the activation time for Super Armor has been adjusted
  • Lops
    • Increased the Cooldown of Lops’ Special 
      • Cooldown Before: 24 Sec
         
      • Cooldown After: 30 Sec
Due to the significant impact and frequent generation of the Consumable Items,
the cooldown had to be adjusted. 
  • King Arthur
    • The Heavy Attack, Special, and Light Attack combos of King Arthur were adjusted to function more naturally. 
Fixed the issue where King Arthur’s Heavy Attack > Special > Light Attack combos did not land properly.
A problem existed with the height of King Arthur’s Light Attack. 
  • Urus
    • Adjusted Urus’ Ultimate so that he can multi-hit enemies better after pulling them in. 
    • The time it takes Urus to land his final strike after multi-hitting has increased.
We’ve improved the ultimate ability to keep enemies immobilized for a longer duration, allowing allies to induce additional stun and land the final hit.
The previous ultimate ability’s effectiveness was low, so we enhanced it to maintain stuns for an extended period and enable combo attacks.
  • Hermes
    • The pull effect on the first 1-3 hits of the Heavy attack has been adjusted to only deal damage. The pull effect will now occur after the first 3 hits.
    • Increased the initial delay on 2nd hit of Heavy Attack.
    • Changed the Dodge Attack effect from Airborne > Knockback
  • Lancelot
    • Delayed timing for Dodge Attack to be landed
    • Increased the time it takes to Dodge after using Dodge Attack.
    • Base HP has been slightly lowered
      • Base HP Before: 800.
      • Base HP After: 700
Although Lancelot was classified as a Divine Support Calixer, his parry and follow-up hit resulted in a very high kill ratio.
To address this, we have reduced his survivability and prevented successive Dodge Attacks from being an advantageous tactic.
  • Medusa
    • Decreased the damage for Light Attack Strikes 1, 2, & 3
      • Damage Before: 70 / 70 / 50 / 130.
      • Damage After: 60 / 60 / 30 / 130
  • Hades
    • Decreased the damage for Light Attack Strikes 1, 2, & 3
      • Damage Before: 70 / 70 / 70 / 100
      • Damage After: 60 / 60 / 60 / 100
Improvements
 
  • Lops and Freyja have been added as base characters
    • The rewards for Tutorial Stages 2 & 3 will be changed to 5,000 Gold.
       
      • *Accounts that have completed Tutorial Stages 2 & 3 will be given 5,000 Gold each.
         
  • Increased the base movement speed of the Calixers
  • The base movement speed of Calixers will increase by 10%, but Dandi’s movement speed will remain the same.
  • The base swimming speed of Calixers will increase by 20%.
In the last patch, we increased the stamina regeneration by 25% and with the 1.1 patch,
we are going to address the frustration of movement controls one by one. The first improvement was the movement speed.
 
Next, we will consider adjusting the stagger (or hit-stun) upon being hit, so that the player does not find it unpleasant, and actions will connect more smoothly.
A lot of improvements need to be made, and we expect to change the overall tempo of the game.
However, since it cannot be done in a quick manner, we are going to adjust Calixers one by one. ​
 
We’ll keep an eye on things by continuously monitoring the game and keep making improvements after these adjustments are implemented.
We hope that these constant improvements will result in a more enjoyable experience by improving the control responsiveness. ​
 
  • Changed the number of Daily Missions and the number of Daily missions you can change
    • Number of Daily Missions : 7 > 17 
    • Number of Daily Mission changes: 10 > 50
