Gameplay Changes
We're cautious about making major changes to gameplay in the middle of a Ranked season. However, we believe that the changes in Season 2 were too modest and many players didn't feel refreshed enough for the new season, leading to a sense of fatigue and less fun in the season race.
While the upcoming Season 3 will feature relatively big changes on a season-by-season basis, the remaining time in Season 2 needs to be revitalized. In response to the many opinions we've heard from players about Season 2, we would like to show even a little progress by making relatively active changes to the gameplay even during the season.
Ranked Match Entry Cost & Discount Rates
We're making a slight adjustment to the higher rank entry cost compared to the previous season to make it easier to move up the ranks.
In the case of a 3P premade team, they seem to achieve a similar or slightly lower win rate compared to solo players up to Platinum tier. However, at the Diamond tier, the team is gaining significantly more points. This is because, due to the premade team matchmaking separation, the Diamond tier is no longer matched with the Mythril Tier and is often matched with the lower tiers. Therefore, we are trying to balance the matchmaking in the Diamond tier by removing the 3P premade team discount.
The entry costs for Ranked Matches has been adjusted by tier.
Gold 4: 30 RP → 29 RP
Platinum 4: 40 RP → 38 RP
Diamond 4: 50 RP → 48 RP
Mythril 0 (6000 RP): 55 RP → 53 RP
The discount rate for Ranked Matches entry costs has been adjusted when playing in a 3P premade team.
Diamond Admission Discount: 5 points → REMOVED
Exclude 2P Premade Teams Function (Preview)
An option to prevent matching with 2P premade teams will be added in the upcoming 1.12 update.
Mastery Experience Gain Adjustments
We have received a lot of feedback that if you lose several battles early in the game, you will not be able to catch up later and will be forced to play passively. If your Mastery level lags behind the other team, you will have a better chance of catching up more quickly.
Original: An additional 25% is gained for a 3-level difference in Mastery, and 50% for a 6-level difference in Mastery.
Revised: An additional 20% is gained for a 2-level difference in Mastery, and 40% for a 3-level difference in Mastery.
Additional Mastery experience is progressively scaled (e.g., if you gain experience and level up when you are 3 levels behind, you only gain additional experience for the time before you level up).
Crafting Time Reduction
Crafting time is affecting the tempo of teamplay. So we’re reducing the amount of time you spend crafting so that your tempo doesn't fall too far behind your teammates.
Weapon & Armor Crafting Time
Epic 4s → 3.5s
Legendary 5.5s → 5s
Food Crafting Time
Rare 1.5s → 1s
Epic 2.5s → 2s
Legendary 3.5s → 3s
Wild Animals Respawn Time Reduction
Not having a high-value hunting Saved Plan can make your gameplay direction unclear, but when low-value wild animals respawn more quickly, unconventional paths become more viable.
Bat
Respawn Time 105s → 100s
Boar
Respawn Time 95s → 90s
Wild Dog
Respawn Time 110s → 100s
Final Safe Zone Phase Improvements
We’re leveling out the time available to prepare for battle after the start of the temporary safe zone to make things a little more fair in the final safe zone.
Final Safe Zone
No maximum restricted area count after the temporary safe zone preparation phase→ 60s
Final Safe Zone Preparation Phase Restricted Area Count Recovery 20s → 30s
Final Safe Zone Phase 70s → 80s
Battle Zone Changes
By strengthening the Battle Zone effects, we increase the variables in Battle Zone selection and prevent battles involving shuttles from becoming too long.
Battle Zone
Battle Zone Shuttle Movement Speed 3 → 3.5
Battle Zone Shuttle's Corrosion Gauge Recovery reduced by 20%.
Battle Zone - Berserk
Final Damage Increase 20% → 25%
Battle Zone - Defense
Base Shield 200 → 300
Shield given after 3 seconds out of combat → Shield given after 2 seconds
Tree of Life Spawn Location Changes
The spawn order of Tree of Life has been changed.
Day 2
Temple, Cemetery → Temple, Forest
Day 3
Stream, Forest → Stream, Cemetery
Crafting Fixes
We want to shake up the crafting Saved Plan and make it a little less time-consuming to search for and craft materials that need to be repeated each time. This will change dramatically when the season changes, but for now, we're simplifying the crafting formula for Helmets, Steel Shield, and Knee Pads so that you can vary your Saved Plans.
It's okay to use the traditional Saved Plan because you'll need fewer materials.
See Armor for more details.

Wolf Assault (R)
Slowed 30% → 40%
Nathapon
We’re increasing the damage of Nathapon's underutilized Slow Shutter (P) to deal a bit more damage, and slowing Timelapse (W) to help him respond a bit better when Panorama (E) fails to hit the target.

Damage 50/100/150(+Skill Amplification 40%) → 50/100/150(+Skill Amplification 50%)

Basic Attack Amplification per Glover Mastery Level 2.3% → 2%
Rio
In the last update, a nerf was made due to adjustments to the Critical Damage, but it turned out much weaker than we intended, so we're giving it back some power.
Basic Attack 29 → 33
Martina
We’re removing the Wild Animals additional damage from Play (P) that makes objective hunting too fast. Overall, the stats are not good, so we're making her passive and skills more powerful.

Mai
Mai is not becoming a reliable partner for her teammates, so we're slightly increasing the power of her Drape (Q) and buffing her Áo Dài so she can be more helpful to her teammates.
Drape (Q)
Damage 40/80/120/160/200(+Defense 50%)(+Skill Amplification 40%)(+Mai Max HP 6%) → 40/80/120/160/200(+Defense 50%)(+Skill Amplification 40%)(+Mai Max HP 7%)
Markus
Markus is still not performing well despite the last buff. We're increasing the knockback distance of Fearless Assault (E) so that he can take advantage of Warrior's Grit (P) a little better.
Fearless Assault (E)
Knockback Distance 3m → 4m
Vanya
Vanya is not faring well as the enemies she faces have increased range. So we’re increasing her defense per level and damage of Yearning (E) so that she can actively approach enemies.
Defense per Level 2.5 → 2.8
Yearning (E)
Damage at Inner Range 80/100/120/140/160(+Skill Amplification 80%) → 80/110/140/170/200(+Skill Amplification 80%)

We’re reducing HP consumption when using Circulation (E), lessening the high risk of return.
Circulation (E)

Defense per Level 2.5 → 2.8
Explosives Engineer (P)
Damage 10(+Skill Amplification 20/45%) → 10(+Skill Amplification 25/50%)
Xiukai
Xiukai is currently performing well across the board. We're lowering his base defense to increase the risk when in combat, and adjusting the damage of Wok It Off (E) to counteract his high power with defense-oriented items. We are also reducing Spear Xiukai’s skill amplification a bit more.
Skill Amplification per Spear Mastery Level 4.2% → 3.9%
Base Defense 47 → 44
Wok It Off (E)
Heavy Meal (E2) Damage 60/95/130/165/200(+Skill Amplification 70%)(+Max HP 12%) → 60/95/130/165/200(+Skill Amplification 70%)(Max HP 9%)

Slowed 70% → 90%
Zahir
Zahir has a very large difference between when a skill fails to hit and when it hits. So we’re reducing the cooldown of Narayanastra (Q) and Vayvayastra (E) to decrease the deviation when Gandiva (W)'s Eye of Azrael (P) effect does not work.
Narayanastra (Q)
Cooldown 7/6.5/6/5.5/5s → 6/5.5/5/4.5/4s
