The Legend of Heroes: Gagharv Trilogy

Hello, this is Director Lee Jong-joo.

Today, I'd like to share details about the Balance Adjustment for Aida and the release of a new hero.

Let's dive into this week's Dev Note!

Aida Balance Adjustments

Aida, the unique hero who fights alongside her puppet Pedro, is receiving balance adjustments.

When she was first released, her distinct mechanics and charm drew a lot of attention. However, over time, her performance began to fall behind compared to other heroes. In particular, many players found it difficult to use Aida effectively unless both she and her Origin Weapon were fully transcended Stage 6. To make her more accessible and viable in a wider range of situations, we've implemented several key adjustments.

First, Aida's core mechanic ─ damage sharing with Pedro ─ has been moved from Transcendence Stage 6 to Stage 3, significantly improving accessibility. Additionally, the "ATK Overlap+2" effect, which was previously tied to Origin Weapon Transcendence Stage 6, is now part of the weapon's base effect.

The effect that restores Pedro's HP to 100% when reusing the Main Skill is now built into the Main Skill itself, making Aida more stable to operate.

A new effect has also been added to her Origin Weapon: Pedro's basic attacks now reduce the DEF of enemies they hit. This is particularly useful in content where enemy defense is high, such as Infinite Abyss, Adventure, Tower of Challenge, Ruin of Horizon.

Pedro's basic attack has also been changed from single-target to area-of-effect, and its attack range has been increased, allowing him to contribute more broadly in battle.

Aida still has a setup time before reaching full performance, but since this can be shortened through certain settings, we've kept her overall structure intact. We hope these adjustments allow Aida to shine as a more versatile and effective hero across various content.

Pedro

- Pedro's Basic attack is now AOE instead of single-target.

- This improves both its overall damage output and the effectiveness of the DEF reduction debuff.

Skill

- Some effects previously tied to the Origin Weapon are now included in Aida's basic skill, allowing players to benefit from them even without the weapon.

- A new passive effect has been added that reduces damage taken by Aida and Pedro, improving their survivability.

Transcendence

-The temporary invincibility effect during Aida's Sub Skill [Chest] has been removed. This effect often interfered with her role as a tank by preventing her from maintaining formation properly.

- [Chest] Skill now activates more frequently, and the core effect that was previously available only at high Transcendence has been moved to Transcendence Stage 3, improving accessibility for more players.

Origin Weapon

- The ATK Overlap effect when using skills, previously unlocked at Transcendence Stage 5, is now a base effect. This means Aida's weapon can perform well even at lower Transcendence stages.

- A DEF reduction effect has been added to increase her tactical value in various content.

- The Transcedecne stage 5 effect has been moved to a base attack feature, and an additional ATK increase effect has been added to slightly boost overall damage output.

About the New Hero, Douglas

The newly released Douglas is the version of him seven years after defeating the forces of Octum.

Now recognized as one of the strongest adventurers and a true master of the Thunder Sword, people call him the Revived Sword Saint. He primarily accepts quests from New Borun, showing his deep affection for the region and its people. As his fame spreads across El Phildin, many swordsmen travel from afar hoping to challenge him.

Douglas humbly spars with them, then quietly sets out for his next destination ─ always calm, as if he already know the path he's meant to follow.

Helping other through adventuring seems to be the most natural and fulfilling life for him.

<Tower of Challenge> Schedule Update

It operated on 4-week rotation: 3 weeks of active play followed by 1 week of rest. However, based on current play patterns and feedback, the 1-week break has been deemed unnecessary. Starting this season, the rest period has been removed, and the next season will begin immediately after the previous season ends.

<Adventure Drop Event>

The previous [Family Month] Adventure Drop Event has concluded. A new Adventure Drop Event has started. Please, refer the detail of the event via the official maintenance notice.

That wraps up today's Dev Note. I'll see you again!

Best Regards,

Director Lee Jong-joo.
