9/2 (Thu) Balance Adjustment Preview

[b]Hello Heirs! 

This is Epic Seven.[/b]

Thanks to your support and love, Epic Seven will be celebrating its 3rd anniversary. 

The adventures that our Heroes went on are even more special thanks to the Heirs who accompanied them.

We sincerely appreciate the interest and support of all of our Heirs who have continued their adventures with us in Epic Seven.

With this balance adjustment, we plan to implement changes to 7 Heroes and 2 Artifacts. These changes are scheduled to take effect following the update on 9/2.

1. Balance Adjustment Targets

With this balance adjustment, certain Heroes and Artifacts that have been absent in the current meta will be adjusted.

The details of the balance adjustment for the selected Heroes and Artifacts can be seen below.

Heroes

ArtifactsExclusive Equipment※ The probability and number of turns are based on fully enhanced characters.

※ Skill Cooldowns will not be changed unless stated.

※ The skill descriptions mentioned in this preview may differ from the actual update.

 

1-1. Hero Balance Adjustments

1-1-1. Moonlight / 5★

Apocalypse Ravi

With this adjustment, Apocalypse Ravi will continuously strengthen her skill, Deliverance: Soul Exchange during battle. Also, she is now expected to be able to have more turns more frequently.

Deliverance: Soul Exchange will deal more damage each time somebody dies, and this effect can stack up to a maximum of three times. The longer that Apocalypse Ravi is able to stay alive in battle, the more chances she will have to revive a fallen ally and deal more damage using Deliverance: Soul Exchange. Additionally, allies who are revived by Apocalypse Ravi will be brought back with more Health and will potentially be able to better withstand enemy attacks after being revived. 

War God's Might has been granted a new effect that increases the caster's Combat Readiness upon being attacked and Spectral Axe will now inflict injuries and deal more damage when using its Soulburn effect. Try attacking enemies by inflicting multiple injuries using Spectral Axe and finishing them off with Deliverance: Soul Exchange.

1-1-2. Covenant / 5★

Luna

Luna’s skill, Ragnar’s Spear, used to be able to inflict a large amount of damage onto her enemies. However, as the battle environment has changed, so has her ability to be as effective as she was before. 

With this balance adjustment, Ragnar’s Spear will be changed so that it will be able to penetrate the enemy’s defense by 50% allowing her to deal much more damage against enemies that have a high defense. Also, this skill will now gain Souls upon defeating an enemy. 

Dragon Knight's Will will help Luna survive in battle by providing increased Critical Hit Chance and Critical Hit Resistance at all times.

The Soulburn effect for Luna has been adjusted, so that when it is used now, it will grant the maximum number of strikes possible for Infinity Slash, allowing players to finish off low Health enemies on the battlefield. Kawerik

Although Kawerik was initially designed to be able to weaken powerful enemies with Dimensional Corridor and then deal a great amount of damage to all enemies with Dimensional Explosion, this wasn't actually the case due to his lack of defensive abilities.

With these improvements, stealth will be granted by Dimensional Corridor instead of Dimensional Explosion. This will allow Kawerik the ability to increase the enemy's skill cooldown and give him time to plan the next attack thanks to stealth.

One Exclusive Equipment option has also been improved.

The effect that increases Attack of the caster when using Dimensional Corridor will be changed and will now increase Attack before attacking when using Dimensional Explosion.

 

Players will be able to change the effect of the Exclusive Equipment for two weeks after the balance adjustments. Exclusive Equipment that had adjustments to their options and were obtained prior to the adjustment are eligible to be changed. When a player changes the options, other effects of the Exclusive Equipment will remain unchanged and option changes cannot be reversed.

MortMort will be adjusted so that he can inflict more powerful injuries onto the opponent as well as have the chance to counterattack, allowing him to take maximum advantage of the rage effect, which will help him become highly influential on the battlefield.

Advent: Mortelix will inflict more damage and stronger injuries. Additionally, Mort will have a chance to counterattack upon being attack and have a higher chance to grant Sacred Blessing.

The Soulburn effect of Advent: Mortelix will be shifted to Extermination, which will increase the chance of him being able to inflict the debuff, decrease defense onto his enemies. This change will allow the Hero to overpower the enemy when enraged.

1-1-3. Moonlight / 4★

Roaming Warrior Leo

Roaming Warrior Leo will be adjusted so that he can more effectively use bombs.

Go, Racoo! will decrease enemy buff durations by 1 turn before decreasing Speed and planting a bomb on his enemies. Also, this skill grants skill nullifier to the caster, allowing him to be better prepared for the next attack inflicted upon him.

One effect from Fire Shockbomb, which increased the enemy's skill cooldown will be changed so that it now decreases the enemy's defense, allowing for bombs to increase the amount of damage they cause. Detonating bombs will deal more damage as well.

1-1-4. Covenant / 4★

Dominiel

Dominiel will be more specialized in battles against Heroes who utilize critical hits.

Her skill, Blizzard Cape will be replaced with Nixied's Grace, which will have the chance to activate Blizzard Cape when an ally suffers a critical hit. When an ally suffers a critical hit, her passive skill, Nixied's Grace, will have a chance to be activated and provide protection to her allies.

 

The amount of Combat Readiness that is reduced by Ice Spear will be reduced, but the effect chance will be increased, allowing for the effect to take place more frequently.

Furthermore, in order to make this Hero more influential against her enemies, the skill Hail will now have a chance to stun the enemy and its Soulburn will further increase that higher.

Mercedes

Mercedes will undergo many changes and become a Hero that players can utilize in a variety of situations.

With these adjustments, Blazing Eye of Kal will increase Attack of all allies after attacking. A critical hit will also increase the damage dealt. These changes will allow Mercedes to be a stronger force at the start of a battle.

Dimensional Rupture will be changed so that it has a chance to dispel a buff from her enemy. It will also allow Mercedes to use this skill as an extra attack if she has been granted increased Attack, which can be effective when used after Blazing Eye of Kal. As Dimensional Rupture will grant an extra turn with the same skill more often, its Soul gain has been slightly decreased.

An effect that increases Combat Readiness of the caster has been added to Divine Bolt.

Prior to these changes, Dimensional Rupture and Blazing Eye of Kal had relatively low basic damage values and skill enhancing these skills increased the basic damage value by too much. After this balance update, the basic damage for these skills will increase, while the benefits granted via enhancing Mercedes's skill will be adjusted.

1-2. Artifact Balance Adjustments

1-2-1. Artifact / 5★

Merciless Glutton

Merciless Glutton will be adjusted to be more effective when used by Heroes who can deal lethal damage with a Single Attack.

The Artifact will increase damage dealt by Single Attacks and defeating enemies with a Single Attack will increase Combat Readiness of all allies, allowing them to take their turns quicker.

Secret Art - Storm Sword

Secret Art - Storm Sword will be adjusted to be more effective when used against enemy Heroes who use non-attack skills frequently.

When an enemy uses a non-attack skill, the Artifact will increase Combat Readiness of the caster as well as increase Attack of the caster.

 

These are the proposed balance adjustments and improvements that are scheduled for the update on 9/2. The opinions you have shared in each of our communities continues to be one of the best sources of inspiration. We hope that our Heirs will give us their valuable opinions about this balance adjustment and we will continue to try our best to improve the Heroes in our game so that each and every character can be utilized by our Heirs.
