Changes

Skulls

Grim Reaper

• Changed basic attack damage type: Physical Magic
• Reduced damage of basic attack
• Increased chances of a Spirit being created when enemy is defeated
• Reduced cooldown of the enhanced [Harvest]: 60s 44s [quote=author] Developer Comment We previously overestimated the potential of the Grim Reaper. The idea was that it would provide incomparable power if obtained early on, and be sufficiently utilized if acquired in the latter half of the game. The Grim Reaper is supposed to be a character that relies on skills more than basic attack, which is why the skills power was enhanced and the basic attack type changed to Physical. However because the Grim Reapers powerful attacks had comparably long cooldowns, more time was spent using basic attacks. Unlike our intentions, this generated a lot of stress. Hence as part of improving the Grim Reaper, we have changed the basic attack type back to magic, and in exchange for maintaining skill damage, have slightly reduced the damage of basic attack.

• Previously minion attacks would not activate the effects of certain items. It has been changed so that they will activate the effects of such items again.

[quote=author] **Developer comment** Along with the 1.4.0 update, changes to the minion system were also made. However we apologize as this was left out of the 1.4.0 patch notes. It was an unfortunate accident where some of the text was left out while editing the patch notes due to its unprecedented length. Previously, attacks made by minions were in the same method as those by the player. This was not an issue when there werent many skulls or Quintessences that used minions, however with the introduction of the Grave Digger and Quintessences that had various installation and summoning methods, an assortment of issues were introduced to such a system. We hope that the minions can provide a new experience as an individual entity instead of simply being an extension of the players attacks. As such, preparations for the new minion system are already complete. However we had to rollback the new system and continue with the existing system because supporting content is still being worked on. Along with the upcoming item reformation, well review the implementation of the new minions system once all related content is ready so that minions can exert power as an independent entity. [/quote]
