Patch Note Fixes

Hello my dear Eternal Return family. Aesop here with another edition of Eternal Return Patch Notes. In today’s episode, we’ll take a look at the explosives engineer herself, Celine! We also have some new skins (which I am very fond of, personally) and, of course, balance changes. Let’s get right into it!

New Character - Celine

“There's nothing a little explosion can't solve.”

Celine will cost 9,900 A-Coin for 2 weeks and she will be available in ranked matches starting from December 14th (KST).

Explosives Engineer (Passive) 

Celine starts with a skill point in Plasma Bomb and can learn Magnetic Compulsion at level 1. Magnetic Compulsion’s max level is 5 (as opposed to 3).

Dealing skill damage to a test subject reduces the cooldown of Plasma Bomb by 50/75%. After 3 skills, Celine's next basic attack deals extra skill damage equal to 50/100% of her skill amplification and reduces the cooldowns of Blast Wave and Magnetic Compulsion by 50/75% when hit.

Plasma Bomb (Q)

Celine throws a Plasma Bomb to the targeted location. Celine can Detonate her Plasma Bombs, dealing 18/36/54/72/90(+Attack Power 20%) damage. Exploded or expired bombs remain on the ground as empty shells before disappearing. Celine can hold a maximum of 3 bombs and can place up to 4 bombs at a time.

• Cooldown: 10/9.5/9/8.5/8s

• SP Cost : 90/100/110/120/130

• Range : 7.5m

• Explosion Radius : Circular 2m

• Plasma Bomb Duration : 4.5s

• Empty Shell Duration : 7s

Detonate (W)

Celine detonates the targeted Plasma Bomb.

Connected Plasma Bombs also explode, increasing damage by 10/12/14/16/18% for each connected Plasma Bomb.

Plasma Bombs become empty shells after exploding.

• Cooldown: 1s

• SP Cost : 15

• Range : 7m

• Detonation Designation Radius : Circular 3m, prioritizes the bomb closest to the center of radius

Blast Wave (E)

Celine tosses a shockwave ordnance at the target location, dealing 30/45/60/75/90(+Attack Power 30%) damage. The ordnance creates a blast wave, knocking away herself, Plasma Bombs, and enemies in range. Plasma Bombs that are pushed away by the blast deal 40/60/80/100/120(+Attack Power 30%) damage and stun enemies hit for 0.8 seconds.

Damaging an enemy with Blast Wave grants Celine a stack of Plasma Bomb.

• Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10s

• SP Cost : 110

• Range : 6m

• Explosion Radius : Circular 3.5m

Magnetic Compulsion (R)

Celine fuses together all of her Plasma Bombs in range, active or empty, to create a Magnetic Compulsion explosive. Using Detonate or waiting until max duration causes the Magnetic Compulsion to explode, dealing 40/55/70/85/100(+Attack Power 20%) damage for each fused Plasma Bomb. 

If 2 or more bombs are fused together, enemies hit will be slowed by 50% for 1 second. 

If 5 or more bombs are fused together, the explosion radius is increased and enemies hit are stunned for 1.5 seconds.

• Cooldown: 7s

• SP Cost : 50/60/70/80/90

• Range : 7m

• Explosion Radius
  

• When 1~4 bombs are fused: Circular 3m
  

• When 5 or bombs are fused: Circular 5m

New Skins & Emotes

Shrine Maiden Rio will be available for purchase!

“My arrow will cleanse the unholy.”

Musketeer Fiora will be available for purchase in December 14th (KST).

“All for one, and one for all.”

Isol emotes will be available for purchase!

System

Checking remaining items in area

If you feel like you’re late to an area, try checking the Security Console.

• Activating a Security Console will display the number of remaining items in the area.

• The pop up will automatically disappear when moving away from the console.

Cooldown Reduction Cap Changes

Cooldown reduction was becoming too efficient as it approached the hard cap. 

• Cooldown Reduction Cap 35% → 30%

• Items that raise the cooldown reduction cap such as Queen of Hearts or Prominence can still be used to go over 30%.

Acceleration Influx Perimeter Improvements

The AIPs should now provide a nice boost early on when you’re either late or being chased.

• Acceleration Influx Perimeter: 30% increased movement speed for 2s → 35% for 3s

Saved Plan Auto Sort

Auto sorted cleanly and smoothly. What kinda psycho put them in a different order anyway?

• Items in saved plans will now always be sorted as Weapon-Chest-Head-Arm-Leg.

• Items from the same category will be sorted from the lowest to highest rarity. However, weapons will prioritize your initial weapon type for game start.

Saved Plans/Augments Display during Character Select

Both Saved Plans and Augments will be displayed simultaneously to prevent any brainfarts.

Normal Matchmaking 2nd Improvements

Smarter normal matchmaking.
