Participation Conditions: Starting from Level 3.
Schedule: Thursday, September 17th to Wednesday, September 30th
Union Circuit is available at specific times depending on the server. Players can also participate in Unions on other servers.
- North America: Friday and Saturday, 19:00 – 21:00 (PT) / 22:00 – 00:00 (ET)

System

Speech-to-Text (Beta)

To allow players to chat with teammates via voice in-game, a Speech-to-Text (Beta) feature has been added to convert spoken words into text and send them to the chat box. Unlike voice chat, your voice is not transmitted to teammates, only the text is sent.

Go to Settings - Voice - Input under Voice Chat and select [Speech-to-Text (Beta)] to enable it. It cannot be used simultaneously with Voice Chat.
Speech-to-Text (Beta) is available when purchasing the Season Pack and supports Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese (Simplified/Traditional). Languages other than these will be recognized as English.
Voice Input Method: You can choose between Push to Talk (default) or Voice Detection.
Send Speech-to-Text Message: You can choose between [Send Instantly] (default), which sends converted text right away, or [Review & Send], where you review the text in the chat input bar and press Push to Talk / Send Converted Text hotkey (or Enter) to send. Pressing ESC during review will cancel the converted text.
Text currently converting is displayed in italics in the chat input bar, while fully converted text appears in standard font. Converted text cannot be manually edited.
You can check the current status (ON / OFF / Typing… / Temporary Error) via the status icon at the top of the in-game chat bar, and click it to toggle the feature on or off.
Speech-to-Text only functions during game modes with teammates and cannot be used outside active gameplay, such as in team lobbies, custom lobbies, or the strategy map. It is also unavailable in Lone Wolf where there are no teammates.

*Prohibited word filters will also be applied to text sent via Speech-to-Text, the same as in regular chat.

*Verbal harassment and hate/discriminatory speech perpetrated through Speech-to-Text may be subject to penalties in accordance with our Rules of Conduct.

Mouse Cursor Size Settings

Mouse cursor settings will be added to Settings - Video so you can adjust cursor size in-game without changing the OS mouse size settings.

Mouse Cursor Type: You can choose between Hardware Cursor (Recommended) / Software Cursor. The default value is Hardware Cursor.
Software Mouse Cursor Size: When Software Cursor is selected, you can choose mouse cursor size among 32x32 / 48x48 / 64x64 / 96x96 / 128x128, which will be applied across all cursors in-game and in the lobby.

*When using the Software Cursor, rendering is adjusted according to the screen frame rate, which may reduce cursor movement responsiveness depending on specifications.

Gameplay

Cameras & Drones of Eliminated Teams

To prevent Cameras and Drones summoned by eliminated teams from interfering with remaining players' vision information, Cameras and Drones installed by a team will automatically be destroyed upon the team's elimination.

Applied to: Telephoto Cameras, Trail Cameras, Watcher's Eye - Bat, Recon Drones, EMP Drones
This applies based on the point of final elimination due to team wipeout, and items will remain if the team is wiped out during the elimination prevention phase.
Traps summoned via character skills, such as Nadine's traps or Isol's mines, will remain unchanged.

Installed Objectives Placement Restrictions

Gadgets such as Mobile Kiosk, Mobile VLS, and Hunter's Pot can no longer be placed in areas adjacent to Rifts or installed Loop Card Key-γ ranges.
Loop Card Key-γ also cannot be installed near Rifts or other installation Gadget ranges.
They can still be placed in upcoming Rift areas (before spawn).

Tree of Life & Meteorite Spawn Adjustments

Objective spawn methods for Day 2 will be adjusted to alleviate the concentration of Meteorite drops during that phase.

- Tree of Life Spawn Locations: Temple, Hotel, Cemetery → Hotel, Cemetery
- Meteorite Drop Count: 2 → 3

Weapon Skills

VF Prosthetic - VF Stabilization (D)
- Improved so that Tactical Skill - Blink can be used while the skill is active.

Character

Nadine

Nadine continues to perform exceptionally well in higher tiers. In particular, her ability to control distance when using R - Wolf Assault is too strong, so we are reducing the slow effect on this skill to tone down her power.

Wolf Assault(R)
- Slowed 30% → 25%

NiaH

NiaH is recording a low score gain and damage stats. We are increasing the path damage of Q - Arcade Drop to enhance her power when the skill is utilized well.

Arcade Drop(Q)
- Path Damage 30/55/80/105/130(+Skill Amplification 40%) → 30/55/80/105/130(+Skill Amplification 45%)

Nicky

Nicky shows solid performance across different stats, including a very high pick rate. In particular, cumulative damage dealt while in P - Short Tempered is measured somewhat high, so we are reducing the skill's damage to slightly curb her combat power.

Short Tempered(P)
- Damage 60/85/110(+Skill Amplification 35%) → 60/80/100(+Skill Amplification 35%)

Daniel

Daniel is recording a very low win rate. The risk of diving into key enemy targets in the late game has become excessively high, so we are increasing defense per level to help his durability during late-game.

Defense per level 2.8 → 3

Debi & Marlene

Debi & Marlene are recording a low score gain. Judging that the reward for hitting Marlene E - Now, Debi! is lacking, we are increasing its airborne duration to enhance her power.

Now, Debi!(Marlene E)
- Airborne Duration 0.5s → 0.55s

Tia

Tia maintains high stats in higher tiers. We are reducing the Magic Chipmunk damage of the highly versatile P - Color Mixing to tone down her overall strength.

Color Mixing(P)
- Magic Chipmunk(Blue+Yellow) Damage 50/90/130/170/210(+Skill Amplification 95%) → 50/90/130/170/210(+Skill Amplification 90%)

Laura maintains a high score gained. To curb her excellent mobility shown during mid-game, we are increasing the cooldown of E - Sly Step to encourage more deliberate skill usage.

Sly Step(E)
- Cooldown 17/16/15/14/13s → 19/17.5/16/14.5/13s

Leon is recording very high stats across most tiers except the top bracket. We are reducing the damage of E - Duck Dive, which varies based on counterplay ability, to lower his burst firepower on hit.

Duck Dive(E)
- Damage 60/95/130/165/200(+Skill Amplification 75%) → 60/95/130/165/200(+Skill Amplification 65%)

Lucia

Lucia is recording a very low score gain. We are increasing the movement speed duration of P - A Lady's Upbringing to allow more flexible positioning and distance management, and the stunned duration of R - Musketeer's Etiquette to grant a higher reward on hit.

A Lady's Upbringing(P)
- Movement Speed Increased Duration 0.75s → 1s
Musketeer's Etiquette(R)
- Stunned Duration 0.7s → 0.8s

Li Dailin

Li Dailin is recording low average damage even with aggressive item builds. We are increasing the damage scaling of E - Bottom Shelf so she can deal more meaningful damage on hit.

Bottom Shelf(E)
- Damage 50/100/150/200/250(+Attack Power 90%) → 50/100/150/200/250(+Attack Power 100%)

Mirka

Mirka continues recording low stats even after her base durability was buffed. As her overall performance is lacking, we are increasing the enhanced power of Q - Crushing Hammer and E2 - Power Strike to compensate.

Crushing Hammer(Q)
- Crushing Hammer - Enhanced Stunned Duration 0.65s → 0.7s
Backstep Rush(E)
- Power Strike(E2)
  - Enhanced: Additional Damage Impulse Gauge’s 40% → 50%

Bernice

Bernice is recording high score gains and damage stats. We are slightly curbing his power by reducing the weapon mastery attack speed increase.

Attack speed per Sniper Rifle Mastery Level 2.8% → 2.4%

Bihyung

Bihyung is not showing clear strengths across overall metrics. We are increasing the damage of her main skill, Q - Ttuk-ttak!, to allow her to deal greater damage in sustained combat.

Ttuk-ttak!(Q)
- Damage 20/40/60/80/100(+Attack Power 9/18/27/36/45%) → 20/40/60/80/100(+Attack Power 10/20/30/40/50%)

Charlotte

Charlotte is recording excessively high win rates in high-tier play. We are reducing her defense growth per level to make targeting her first a more viable counterplay option, and we are increasing the cooldown on Divine Intervention (R) to curb her ability to quickly re-engage after trading skills.

Defense per level 3.2 → 2.9
Divine Intervention(R)
- Cooldown 80/70/60s → 80/75/70s

Sissela

Sissela has a wide performance gap depending on her weapon type. We are nerfing the weapon mastery effect for Throw Sissela, who is showing a strong performance, and buffing the weapon mastery effect for Shuriken Sissela to narrow the performance gap between weapon options.

Skill Amp per
- Throw Mastery Level 4.6% → 4.5%
- Shuriken Mastery Level 4% → 4.2%

Silvia

Silvia is recording low damage stats. We are increasing the damage of E - Spare Tire to enhance her effectiveness in melee combat.

- Max Damage 242/286/330/374/418(+Skill Amplification 110%) → 242/286/330/374/418(+Skill Amplification 132%)

Adriana

Adriana continues to show high stats. Currently, her area control and ranged poke capabilities with W - Oil Slick are excessive, so we are increasing the charging time of the skill to adjust its usage frequency.

Oil Slick(W)
- Charging Time 13/12.5/12/11.5/11s → 14/13.5/13/12.5/12s

Adina

Since Update 12.3, not only the 1st Hit Damage but also the 2nd Hit Damage of E - Fated Horizon was applied with increased values.

Fated Horizon(E)
- 2nd Hit Damage will now be correctly applied

Abigail

Abigail's R - Dimensional Strike is showing somewhat lacking power compared to its hit difficulty. We are increasing its damage and slow duration to enhance its finishing power on hit.

- Damage 150/275/400(+Skill Amplification 85%) → 150/275/400(+Skill Amplification 95%)
- Slowed Duration 0.2s → 0.3s

MOK.O.erational Mine (R)
- Damage 100/200/300(+Attack Power 40%)(+Skill Amplification 65%)(+Target Current HP's 12%) → 100/200/300(+Attack Power 40%)(+Skill Amplification 70%)(+Target Current HP's 12%)

Isaac

Isaac's weakness continues. In particular, he is showing poor damage metrics, so we are increasing the damage value of Q - Swoop to boost his threat upon engagement.

Swoop(Q)
- Damage 20/60/100/140/180(+Attack Power 70%) → 20/60/100/140/180(+Attack Power 80%)

Alex

Alex is recording a high score gained and excellent damage metrics. In particular, the damage accumulated with W - Recognition Signal and basic attacks when equipped with a Ranged weapon is high, so we are reducing the damage coefficient of this skill to check its power.

Recognition Signal(Ranged W)
- Damage 45/75/105/135/165(+Attack Power 80%) → 45/75/105/135/165(+Attack Power 70%)

Aiden

Aiden is showing a disappointing performance in overall metrics. We are increasing the outer hit damage and 2nd hit damage of R - Electrostatic Surge to partially help his burst firepower and area-of-effect damage capabilities.

Electrostatic Surge(R)
- 1st Electrostatic Surge Damage 60/90/120(+Attack Power 75%) → 70/100/130(+Attack Power 80%)
- 2nd Electrostatic Surge Damage 70/115/160(+Attack Power 80%) → 70/115/160(+Attack Power 90%)

Echion

Black Mamba Echion is showing high performance in higher tiers. Along with excellent durability and mobility, he is also recording high damage metrics, so we are reducing the additional HP coefficient of Black Mamba R - Envenomization damage to keep his power in check.

VF Plague(R)
- Envenomization[Black Mamba]
  - Damage 50/120/175/220(+Attack Power 80%)(+Additional HP 14%) → 50/120/160/200(+Attack Power 80%)(+Additional HP 10%)

Emma

Emma is recording a high win rate and score gain in higher tiers. In particular, we are reducing the rabbit Polymorphed Duration of R - Change★, which is currently difficult to counter, to check playstyles that unilaterally neutralize enemies.

Change★(R)
- Rabbit
  - Polymorphed Duration 1s → 0.9s

William

William is recording high stats in high tiers. His basic attack power during retrieval of the baseball is excessive, we are reducing the damage coefficient of P - No Hitter to adjust his power.

No Hitter(P)
- Damage (Attack Power 110/117/124%) * (Basic Attack Amplification) → (Attack Power 110/115/120%) * (Basic Attack Amplification)

HP per Level 75 → 73
Attack Power per level 4.6 → 4.4

Cathy

Cathy continues to maintain a high score gain. We are reducing the damage of R - Emergency Surgery, which is currently overly powerful on hit, to tone down her excessive area-of-effect damage capability.

Emergency Surgery(R)
- Min Damage 100/175/250(+Skill Amplification 70%) → 100/160/220(+Skill Amplification 70%)
