# Designer's Comments
After analyzing recent data from Onslaught Mode, we found that your Arche Parameter choices have a much heavier impact on the overall gameplay experience than we initially anticipated.
We noticed a trend where some players were abandoning their runs early on, assuming that the rest of the content would be too punishing if they didn't roll their desired Arche Parameters right away.
To alleviate this pressure, we’ve buffed the appearance rates for higher-tier Arche Parameters. We’ve also tweaked the probability structure so that your chances of rolling top-tier parameters increase as you progress deeper into the selection phases. Additionally, we’ve removed some of the least popular Arche Parameters from the starting pool to make your early-game choices feel much more satisfying.
Beyond Arche Parameters, we've heard your feedback that Emergency Mission objectives could be difficult to recognize in the heat of the moment. To fix this, we’ve overhauled the mission activation icons, making your goals much more intuitive and easier to spot at a glance.
We’ve also taken another look at the overall difficulty of the mode.
Across all stages, we’ve toned down monster HP and shields, and tweaked certain enemy buffs to make encounters feel less tedious. For Stage 4 in particular, we’ve removed several frustrating elements that were interrupting the flow of combat, shifting the focus toward making late-game fights more engaging and fun.
Specifically, we've overhauled how Tyrant monsters function. Instead of just throwing crowds of them at you, we've reduced their spawn numbers while massively boosting their kill rewards and objective contribution. Our goal here is to shift the gameplay away from mindlessly hacking through endless swarms, and toward the strategic satisfaction of hunting down and prioritizing high-value targets.
(2) Void Intercept Battle: Extreme
- Balance improvements for Void Intercept Battle: Extreme
ㄴ Lowered HP and Shield of Colossus with Risk Level 0.
ㄴ Changed the HP and Shield increase multiplier for each section to maintain the HP and Shield values of Colossus in Sections 1 to 6.
(3) Bounty Operations
- Balance improvements for Bounty Operations
ㄴ Lowered Monster HP and Shields in the "Resurrected Immortality Obliviant" Mission.
ㄴ Lowered Monster HP in the "Seudo Engulfed by Madness" Mission.
ㄴ Lowered Monster HP in the "Soul Reaper Gruncah" Mission.
ㄴ Lowered Monster HP in the "Plaudia the Gnawing Calamity" Mission.
ㄴ Lowered the Commander HP in the "Hungry Abyss Scarab" Mission.
(4) Miscellaneous
- Removed the Weak Point Damage Adjustment Value of Monsters appearing in Onslaught Mode and Bounty Operations.
# Designer's Comments
Allow us to provide an additional explanation on the adjustment of the Weak Point Damage Adjustment Value of Monsters appearing in Onslaught Mode and Bounty Operations.
This adjustment is separate from the Skill Performance Adjustments for certain Descendants, implemented to improve the overall balance structure of battle content.
At present, The First Descendant applies additional multipliers by content to the Weak Point of Monsters.
This multiplier is stacked on top of Firearms' Weak Point Attacks, creating an excessive gap between weapons that specialize in Weak Point Attacks and those without the effect.
If this is carried over to the Transcendent Weapons that will be added in Season 4, it may intensify an imbalance in player preferences for certain weapon classes.
Therefore, our team is aiming to implement a step-by-step adjustment to the Weak Point balance.
First, in Void Intercept Battle: Extreme, where the impact of the imbalance is greatest, patch 1.4.0 will remove the Additional ATK Adjustment that was applied to Monster Weak Points, while implementing other balance adjustments.
The patch will also remove Weak Point Damage Adjustments that are applied to the units summoned by Monsters.
We will also take the same approach for Onslaught Mode and Bounty Operations.
However, as these pieces of content have relatively low reliance on firearms and the in-game impact of Weak Point Adjustment was low, patch 1.3.37 will remove Adjustment values first.
Meanwhile, firearm Weak Point Attack performance will be maintained.
This adjustment aims to remove the additional adjustments applied from the content aspect; therefore, it will not change any unique characteristics of weapons.
We expect minimal impact on your actual gameplay experiences with this adjustment.
However, we will continue to monitor relevant data after implementation and review any additional gameplay balance adjustments as needed.
With this adjustment, we will reduce player reliance on certain Weak Point Attack weapons and encourage our players to adopt a wider variety of weapons and builds in higher-level content.
