Soul Knight Prequel Sneak Peek at the SS0 Updates II
Release time: 2024-11-01
Hello, Knights!
It's time for another exciting scoop! Since our last update, many of you have been buzzing with questions. Let's dive right in:
FAQ:
Q: Can you give us more details about the changes to Fatebound effects?
A: The replaceable Fatebound effects for equipment will be general ones, not exclusive to bosses. Stay tuned for updates on equipment inheritance!
Q: If some bosses can only be challenged in the Trial of Embers, how will that affect our need for Embers? Will there be more ways to obtain them?
A: In the new season, you'll be able to challenge bosses not only in the Trial of Embers but also in the Proving Grounds, where you can repeat specific floors for farming! Bosses in the Proving Grounds will also drop Boss Cards.
Q: Can skill descriptions be more detailed? Is there a way to see both detailed and simplified versions?
A: We're revamping skill descriptions for all classes to enhance readability and understanding.
Q: Can you clarify the changes to critical hit chance?
A: In the new season, crit chance will be its own stat, independent of Fatebound effects, and there won't be any crit resistance.
Q: With no Resurrection Coins needed to skip floors in the Proving Grounds, what's their purpose now?
A: The tower climbing will change to a speed-run format, ranking you based on completion time and number of floors. Resurrection Coins will only be used for reviving characters, with one use allowed per climb.
Q: What resources can we inherit in the new season?
A: Inheritance rules will be similar to previous seasons. Here are a few important points that many of you are curious about:
- Mana Keys and Mana Dice will still be shared among all characters and fully inherited.
- Pure seasonal characters won't inherit Eidolon levels but will inherit Eidolon ranks.
- Embers will be shared and fully inherited.
- Apex Level inheritance will follow previous rules: if a pure seasonal character's level is below 50, effective points will be half of the level; if the level is 50, effects will be fully applied.
- Seasonal items like cards, fruits, hephaestites, lydites, and chips won’t carry over to the next season.
- We'll simplify the character system by removing seasonal characters, keeping only permanent and pure seasonal ones. More details will be shared later.
Other Optimizations & Adjustments:
- Insane-Quality Gear: To make it easier to obtain Insane-quality gear, it will now drop from dungeon areas instead of specific bosses. Monsters, elites, and bosses in individual dungeons will have a chance to drop Insane-quality gear (boss-exclusive gear will still require the corresponding boss).
- Gear System Adjustments: The equipment system will undergo major changes in the new season, including updates to weapon Fatebound effects and modifier stats. We'll restructure equipment modifier values, with more details to come in official announcements.
- Eidolic Improvements: We're hard at work on Eidolic-related enhancements for the new season, which will be adjusted in one of the future updates.
- Companion Feature: When the new season launches, we'll enhance the pet pickup feature, so be ready to check it out!
- Backpack System Changes: We're making significant adjustments to the Backpack system, allowing you to dismantle and reforge gear directly in your Backpack. You can also check your Storage within the Backpack.
- Cybermodding System Simplification: The cybermodding process will be simplified. Chips will be transposed directly onto the corresponding equipment slots, so you won't need to retranspose them when changing equipment.
- Dungeon Optimization: In the new season, we will remove the Camp Room.
