War of the Roses
Through this update, we have made adjustments to encourage more intense battles, provide opportunities for strategic play, and allow for quicker conclusions when one side has a clear advantage.As the preseason of the War of the Roses unfolds across all regions, we are grateful for the feedback from our adventurers. On average, the war lasts about 90 minutes, with the time spent defeating the commander accounting for about 20 minutes.
To keep the action flowing, we've reduced the time spent in the final commander battle and increased the intensity of earlier skirmishes. Previously, all sanctums offered the same level of buffs. Now, central sanctums offer a lower-level buff, while the ultimate first sanctum provides the most potent buff. This shift in power dynamics aims to slow the pace of the battlefield, sparking more skirmishes and strategic play.
As the first sanctum's buff has become more significant, so too has its guardian's strength. Both HP and AP (including attack patterns) have been enhanced, making the first sanctum a formidable final line of defense. We expect this to provide strategic opportunities for counterattacks while utilizing the guardians' defense capabilities when the last front line is at the first sanctum.
We look forward to your continued engagement and feedback as we strive to make the War of the Roses an even more thrilling experience.
Sanctum 1
Sanctum 1 of each faction now serves as the pivotal outpost for defense against opposing faction.
The guardians of Sanctum 1 deal increased damage to adventurers, particularly inflicting significant damage on mounts like chariots and elephants.
They also possess fatal attacks that effectively counter the opposing faction's advances.

- Changed the Sanctum 1 (N1, S1) of each faction to start in a neutral state at the start of the war.
- If you destroy the Faded Relic of the respective sanctum, you can occupy the sanctum.
- Changed the guardians of Sanctum 1 and Sanctum 2 of the O'dyllita faction.
| Before | After | ||

Sanctum 1: Olun's Golem Sanctum 2: Dark Knight |
- Improved the HP of Urugon and Olun's Golem, which appear when occupying Sanctum 1 of each faction, by 30%.
- Increased the damage dealt by Urugon, which appears in Sanctum 1 of the Kamasylvia faction, to adventurers by 1.25 times.
- Increased the damage dealt by Olun's Golem, which appears in Sanctum 1 of the O'dyllita faction, to adventurers by 1.5 times.
- Added a fatal attack in the following situations by the guardians of Sanctum 1 of each faction.
- Powerful attack once when HP is at 70%, 50%, 30%.
- Powerful attack every 3 min when HP is below 15%.
- Changed Urugon and Olun's Golem, which appear in Sanctum 1 of each faction, to inflict significant damage on mounts.
- Caution is required when riding ancient chariots, elephants, cannons, horses, and other mounts.
Commander HP Adjustment
When victory is in sight after winning the battle up to Sanctum 1, the commander's HP is adjusted to accelerate the combat pace within the castle.
- Reduced the HP of the commanders (Narchillan, Sephir) of each faction by 50%.
Castle Respawn Location and Guards
During defense scenarios within the castle, adventurers can now respawn in safer locations.
- Added Rose Legion Sentinels near the final respawn area inside the castle of each faction.
- These monsters are very powerful and can inflict fatal damage if approached.
- Caution is required when riding ancient chariots, elephants, cannons, horses, and other mounts.
- Added additional respawn points in O'dyllita Castle and Kamasylvia Castle during the war, in addition to the existing respawn points behind Sephir and Narchillan.
Sanctum Passives Adjustment
The benefits from sanctum passives obtained during the early and mid-stages of the war are reduced.
However, when victory is highly likely by occupying up to Sanctum 1, you can obtain powerful sanctum passives for quick late-stage progression.
However, when victory is highly likely by occupying up to Sanctum 1, you can obtain powerful sanctum passives for quick late-stage progression.
- Changed the buff effects obtained when occupying each sanctum.
- Powerful effects such as All AP, Max HP, and All Damage Reduction are no longer obtainable from sanctums S2-S9 / N2-N9, and are now obtainable when successfully occupying the first sanctum (S1/N1) of the opposing faction.
- With the powerful passives moving to the first sanctum (S1/N1), some of the passives of each sanctum have been changed or distributed to other sanctums.
- e.g., Before: All Resistance +5% obtained when occupying N9
- After: All Resistance +3% obtained when occupying N6, All Resistance +2% obtained when occupying N10
| Before | |||
 |

| After | |||
 |
With these adjustments, the early and mid-stage impact of sanctum passives is lessened. Yet, when a faction is close to victory after capturing the first sanctum (N1, S1) of the opposing faction, these passives are significantly enhanced. Strategic HP modifications of the castle's commander are implemented for faster late-stage battle progression.
Stable Keeper Musical Spirit Visibility Improvement
The visibility of the Stable Keeper appearing at each sanctum is improved.
Color is added to the name of the Musical Spirit, and through the arrow-shaped effect located above its head, you can easily find the Stable Keeper even from afar.
