| # Director's Comments The newly adopted Arche Tuning "Mutant Cell" is designed to enhance the battle efficiency of Skill Dealer Descendants. However, we do recognize that there is still a performance gap to Firearm Dealers. "Mutant Cell" is our first step in doing so. We will continue to add more ways to bring the performance difference closer. Also, we are planning an External Components Core Update scheduled for June 19, and it will support the growth of defensive ability of all Descendants. We will continue to keep a good balance of the game by encouraging each Descendant to exploit their unique battle styles and advantages. |
Intercept Battle
- Colossus "Ice Maiden" will be appearing in Void Intercept Battle: Abyss.
- To intercept Ice Maiden, you must reach Mastery Rank 18 and clear the 'The Most Powerful Colossus' quest.
- Ice Maiden has Chill attribute. Take advantage of the Chill's vulnerability by actively utilizing Fire attacks.
- There are obstacles that hinder Descendants' movements in Ice Maiden's map.
- Destroy Ice Maiden's parts to grant Buff to Descendant.
- When entering Void Reflux mode, Ice Maiden is weakened as you destroy more number of parts in the normal mode.
ㄴ When entering Void Reflux mode, it creates a snowstorm to press the field.
- In Void Reflux mode, Ice Maiden uses powerful skills.
- Ice Maiden's HP and Shield have been increased higher than Colossus in Void Intercept Battle: Abyss.
- However, HP and Shield multiplier for Party Entry have been adjusted as below:
| 2-player | 3-player | 4-player |
| 1.93 times to Solo entry → 1.42 times | 2.66 times to Solo entry → 1.75 times | 3.23 times to Solo entry → 2 times |
- Rewards of defeating the Colossus of Void Intercept Battle: Abyss have been changed.
ㄴ Gain of the below Rewards has been increased.
| Rewards | Previous Amount Acquired | Adjusted Amount Acquired |
| Module | 3 | 6 |
| External Components | 8 | 16 |

ㄴ The previously available Tormentor Descendant skin, “Pain Giver,” and the Colotoys “Tormentor” Back Attachment will also remain available for exchange throughout this season’s episode period.
| # Director's Comments To improve gameplay styles of Void Abyss Intercept Battle that ends in under 1 second and reward structure that requires excessive repetitions, we implemented the following changes: First, the play time was adjusted in consideration of the extremely short battle duration that prevented strategic gameplays. Next, we heard your opinion of the low multi-player battle efficiency and adjusted the HP and Shield multipliers that was applied to 4-player rounds from 3.2 times to 2 times. As the battle duration will increase, we also adjusted the reward efficiency. We will continue to make detailed adjustments to Intercept Battles so that you can enjoy tactical gameplays and the joy of defeating formidable enemies with other players. |
