Notice: "The Symbolic" Difficulty Nerf & "The Shadowed" Boss Text Improvement
Hello, this is Project Moon.

We have received much feedback regarding the difficulty of boss units that can be encountered in The Symbolic gamemode. To alleviate this issue, we intend to buff the effects of the special item that can be obtained when the player is defeated.

In addition to the above, this hotfix will improve the Passive description of a certain boss unit fought in "The Shadowed" to make the Encounter gimmick more intuitive to understand.

We will inform you via another notice once the hotfix has been deployed.

Please refer to the information below.


[ "The Symbolic" Gamemode Lowered Difficulty Details ]
▶ Simplified the conditions for triggering the event where a special assistive item can be obtained, and added an additional effect to the said item
- Before: The event would be triggered after dying 3 times.
- After: The event is triggered after dying once.
- Additional Effect: In the Symbolic, Damage Dealt +350



[Chapter 10 Part 3 Shadowed Battle Boss Passive Text (5F)]
Added:
- When the Sinner who has a certain buff wins a Clash against a certain Skill, the boss unit gains 1 unique status effect
- When the boss unit reaches 5 Stacks of that unique status effect, it gains a new pattern; winning the Clash against the Skill in that new pattern will win the Encounter


This battle was designed as a mechanic-based encounter in which a Sinner with a certain buff must Clash against specific Skills to build up a unique buff on the boss to clear the Encounter.

However, we have identified that the explanation of this mechanic was not sufficiently clear, causing difficulties during the battle.

As an initial measure, we will revise and expand the mechanic's description so that the battle can be approached more intuitively.

We are also aware that numerical balance issues involving the amount of status effects applied, skill power parameters, damage, SP, and other values can make it difficult to properly engage with the intended battle mechanic.

We are currently monitoring numerical values across Encounters to identify the specific points at which Managers may experience frustration or excessive difficulty. We are also reviewing which elements should be adjusted downward.

We will continue monitoring difficulty trends following the addition of textual description. Should any difficulty adjustments be finalized, we will provide additional information via a separate notice.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the unclear text and difficulty issues.
