New Additions and Improvements
In today’s update, we adjusted the pull and push effects for several classes, including Mystic, Nova, Valkyrie, and Sorceress. In PvP, pull and push can restrict movement regardless of CC score, which has a major impact on gameplay. Some skills with frequent pulls or pushes made it difficult for opponents to break free, leading to frustrating situations.
To address this, we've reduced how often these effects occur. However, to keep them them impactful where they matter, we've also tweaked the movement distance (how far enemies are pushed or pulled) and adjusted the debuffs applied on hits.
We'll continue monitoring class balance and make further adjustments as needed.
Thank you.

Node & Conquest War
Since the Blue Battlefield update, we've reviewed your feedback and seen a lot of discussion around Guild Galley balance. In today's update, we're making a few changes to Galleys.
In Blue Battlefield, where guilds fight as a team, the Guild Galley is meant to play a key role in winning. It requires a large crew, and each guild can deploy only one, so we tuned it to be harder to destroy. However, this also led to situations where Galleys anchored near the fort and focused on hitting it safely, instead of engaging other ships. Many adventurers have voiced their concerns about this.
To bring back tension and strategic play, we're increasing the damage Galleys deal to each other. The Guild Galley will still be important for taking down the fort, but we want smarter decisions to matter more, like choosing whether to capture the fort or go after enemy Galleys trying to secure it.
We'll keep monitoring feedback and gameplay data and continue improving Blue Battlefield. Please keep sharing your thoughts.
Thank you.
Blue Battlefield
- Increased the damage dealt by Galleys and Improved Galleys to enemy Galleys and Improved Galleys by 4 times.
- Increased the damage dealt to Improved Galleys by the following ships by approximately 9.6% compared to before:

- Epheria Galleon
- Increased the base movement speed of Galleys and Improved Galleys by approx. 10%.
