Rest - Out of Combat Progressive Recovery
We are revamping the Rest mechanics following your feedback during pre-season.
(NEW) Out of Combat Recovery Effect
When resting, you will now gain an out of combat recovery effect separately from the newly added casting duration.
(NEW) Resting while out of combat now recovers an additional 2% of Max HP / VP every 0.5s.
We are tuning down the recovery amount gained from casting.
Stage 1
Casting Duration 2s → 3s
Recovery
Max HP 10% (No change)
Max VP 10% → 20%
Stage 2
Recovery
Max HP 20% → 15%
Max VP 20% → 25%
Stage 3
Recovery
Max HP 50% → 30%
Max VP 50% → 30%
Original Goal of the Rest Revamp
We applied the Season 12 Rest improvements primarily to make rest availability more intuitive. Because tracking when combat ended was difficult, players, especially beginners, frequently voiced confusion about when they could rest. We wanted to improve clarity by allowing players to initiate Rest regardless of combat status.
Pre-season Feedback
However, players received the new Rest system very negatively.
Removing short 1-2s rests severely disrupted core gameplay habits, making players feel restricted when resting after hunting Wild Animals, immediately after respawning, or while waiting on Launch Pads.
Players were also frustrated when they could not restore 100% HP through resting alone without consuming food.
We hoped that fixing damage-over-time effects, which excessively interrupted resting at higher tiers, would offset these issues, but the loss of a smooth gameplay feel created a far more negative experience.
Changes
We are bringing back progressive out of combat recovery and blending it with the current system. Resting while out of combat now immediately starts progressive recovery, with a bonus heal upon finishing the 3s cast. Resting while in combat recovers a set portion after the 3s cast, and progressive recovery kicks in as soon as you exit combat during the channel.
This approach restores the familiar feel of short rests while keeping the ability to start resting at any time to preserve clarity for new players.
Character Test Subject Records
We are making some improvements to the UI/UX based on your feedback.
(NEW) Sorting Dropdown
We are adding a dropdown menu to sort the character list.
Your selected dropdown settings will save locally.

Sorts characters in order of their Character Code, matching the default method.
Analysis Progress (Descending)

Updated Characters at the Top
We are featuring characters with updated Test Subject Records at the very top of the list so you can check them first.
Characters with updated info will also sort according to your selected dropdown settings.
Returning to the lobby screen without viewing updated Test Subject Records will remove the update indicator (red dot).
Character Control Risk Rebalancing

Shield 20/45/70/95(+Skill Amplification 30%) → 20/45/70/95(+Skill Amplification 35%)
Zahir
Zahir has been overperforming in certain situations, as Shuriken weapon skill hits allowed him to continuously trigger P - Eye of Azrael marks and W - Gandiva stacks. We are increasing the hit detection interval to dial back these triggers, while maintaining the interaction on R - Bhargavastra.
Eye of Azrael(P)
Separate skills that deal consecutive damage will be applied every 3s.

Causality’s Reflection(P)
