    LOL DID MY SALT REACH KOG OR SOMETHING? LOOK AT THOSE RENA BUFFSSSS

    -screams-

    Honestly though, really hope they don’t butcher Gungnir like what they did to impact zone back when that happened…. fml dont even want to think about if they do… Still tho, got more crit damage and all sorts for all Rena’s so~ Great patch for Renas I think ^-^

  • Shadowmega says:

    When will you ever touch garbage like Autoguard and Sword Enchant as well… Still, another damage boost for IM.

    Is the NF change intended as a buff for Anemos lol? Cause the other two can hardly make use of this garbage system in the first place. Well, at least, the other two got buffs somewhere else.

    • Zygal says:

      from what i could deduce from this, they seem to be removing the storm hit and giving the dmg from it to the spear hit, and doing the math if the spear count isn’t lowered, it would actually be a bit of buff, and might get some FPS improvements next to it

  • TrooperRobi says:

    another balance patch, another page of “fun” comments.

  • Alou says:

    YES THEY BUFFED APSARA IM HAPPY NOW

  • Rokujou says:

    Aw hell yea, Blade Master buffs. About time we get something nice.

  • Miie says:

    I’ll take that tiny cute Catastrophe buff, so glad they didnt touch innocent.
    tho rip MtM’s huge ass tank

  • Nerfinator says:

    I don’t trust any buffs coming in for Dominator anymore, it’ll just get patched the very next day.

  • Bruh says:

    More immortal buffs YESSSS

    • Bruh says:

      Instead of 50% additional damage on passive it’s 20% phys and it’s five stacks instead of ten but that’s been changed for a while… but I digress
      32000 x (9/16) x 50% x 2000^0.65
      with the formula:
      Additional Damage = A × [9/16] × S × P0.65
      1.2mil in terms of additional damage is added when a 2000% skill is used
      but with the new passive
      20% phys attack
      9217 + 255% = 32720.35 is a +11
      +20% of 32720.35 is 39264.42
      9217 + 335% = 40093.95 which is a +13
      32k is not even the total
      because you have to account gear and accessories
      THAT MAKES YOUR +11
      FEELS LIKE A +13
      explodes

      • Bruh says:

        Z command: 149% Physical Damage
        32k Phys Atk: 47680 x 1.5(critical) = 71520
        Additional Damage = 32000 × [9/16] × 50% × 149%^0.65 = 11,663.0888
        71520+11663 = 83183
        Revamp:
        39k Phys Atk: 58110 x 1.5(critical) = 87165

        3982 more damage on a z command

        Might have overhyped it x3

  • McGeeLord says:

    that rena buffs….

  • MoeMoeQueen says:

    they released dungeon with hell super armor mobs. now they decreased support defense like atomic shield, how the hell am i gonna survive demon realm now, chug CRP? good for you Rena mains, who else got nerfed like me?

    • awsed says:

      you are not supposed to be hit -spam and kill or get killed

      • Zygal says:

        the mobs movemend paterns are rather easy to predic as well, would sugest having low party member graphics tho

      • SkyVR says:

        Stop, HP and Defense stats are there, Damage Reduction, Phy/Mag Def are also identifiable so clearly defensive stats are there for some kind of purpose, is just KOGG is feeding the brain damaged endgame meta, which stipulates you don’t have any buttons in the Keyboard aside from the Skill buttons and the Pot buttons.

    • dorky says:

      oh i feel u like they nerfing ES and elly in general like WTF when has ES been a problem ever… i get it they’ve been buffing her but its not buffs that she needs like they’ve been 99% useless…

      • iFanatio says:

        ES did nothing wrong in the past with her Sword of Victory. Maybe i do agree if Juggernaut Buster buff are nerf-able in PvP. But this, this is doesn’t make any sense….

  • RandomPerson says:

    I’m loving all the weird buffs and nerfs due to raid.
    I’m glad FB is back at pre-nerfed version.

  • Katja Eclair says:

    The hell is this Rena attack speed shafting.

  • Saikros says:

    Ridiculous buffs and nerfing defenses.. giving more priority to special actives and ignoring anything else (again), and MOOOORE buffs to Ara

  • Katja Eclair says:

    Anyone have video of how bad the suction range of OS’s Ruin and mod Ruin got hit?

  • CrystalVanishs says:

    Wow they actually acknowledged Flame Lords pitiful existence and gave her a buff. And Aishas that aren’t Aether Sage can never get a break huh.

  • black13star says:

    Nerfing Code eUltimate again D:< aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    u guys are making me quit of Barbye Dress simulator (Elsword)

  • Soren says:

    Yay! FB is getting closer to regaining his former glory! Just need to buff some of those skill’s damage and we’re good to go!

    Seriously, please buff Sharp Charge… I want my 7k Bravery skill back not some wimpy 5k Strength skill that costs 300mp… ;c

  • NightGirl says:

    Why don’t you delete code ultimate..? she is getting nerfed to the ground!.. and she is STILL being nerfed! why is this happening???

  • Reinz says:

    DI is buffed!!! Thank you It’s 3000 years.
    0-15% is good, plz don’t nerf

  • Veteran says:

    Nerfing CC into the ground once again when he finally had a role in the game in raid… Why does this not surprise me. Dying character with only tank passive gets another gut patch. Why do I even play this game anymore….. And then they buff the damage of half the cast… Complain all you want about CC but hes always lacked damage and all has is tanking. And they take that away from him. Every update.

  • Endgame says:

    Aisha nerfs?

    Aisha nerfs.

    • awsed says:

      not really, those where almost useless skills made even more useless

      • kulabudyniu says:

        mod ruin is super good… or was at least before this patch

      • Yuri says:

        yes, nerfs in aisha were not in main skills, and are acceptable. Metatank continues metatank with more power

        • Yuri says:

          Although unfortunately AIsha always receives a nerf in every patch. Waiting for the buff in the impact zone that only works with the wall. It is below the acceptable line for a bravery skill

          • LicoriceGum says:

            They should just make the original impact zone a slow moving homing skill that follows targets. It would be much more reliable. It sucks the way that it is, especially since even with it’s wall usage, it still doesn’t work on every wall. It pases through certain walls, especially ones on the left side of a map.

      • Endgame says:

        Oh? So they nerfed skills that were already weak?

        How is that not entirely stupid and pointless? How does not fit my narrative that KOG nerfs Aisha every balance patch just for the sake of nerfing Aisha?

        • Yuri says:

          Mod energetic body was not weak, and neither was OP. In return for the reduction of the damage received, they increased the physical attack. I would say that they left the skill even more useful, since before its damage was almost nil (and 50% defense is still a lot). And if you look at it overall, at least it was not nonsense, since the patch reduced the defense of other chars as well.

          Ps: although it is not useful, since you can not activate it by suffering attack

          • Yuri says:

            At least it was not done sloppily by KoG. Already to say that this patch has escaped a little of the narrative “Aisha nerfs”. Another little miracle of Christmas.

            And as for the nerf in her other sisters, at least nothing so drastic.

          • LicoriceGum says:

            Mod energetic body was not a very useful skill at all. You sacrificed your attack power just to be tanky for 7 seconds. Honestly you’re better off just using the non-modded version for offense. Like how did they expect it to be used? You’d have to know you were about to be hit by something before it happens and put it on beforehand within a 7 second window. You’re better off just trying to avoid an attack if you know it’s going to happen and save your mp.

          • MagicSpice says:

            Bravery Aisha builds got nerfed…

            But I was using Strength builds and they got buffed… more so with mod skills…

            Being a Strength build Meta isn’t such a bad idea now, is it? Cause she only really has nova and maybe spurt now…

            And don’t say she has meteor call and gust storm, those are magic damage and she’s a phys class. She has double the phys compared to mag, and can boost her phys damage a lot more…

            Not to mention a lot of strength skills sadly outdamage meteor call, both impact zones, and even gust storm in most cases (only if you can get all 22 hits in and you have no boosts to phys damage)

  • xLunatix says:

    I love FB and all but he did not need those buffs lmao. And when will they actually give decent damage to skills fornrichter than touching the most useless shit damagewise autosuggestion. Now Rena will hit even more like a truck oh boy will this be an amazing season.

  • Frost says:

    Another ingenious patch note from KoGs… Buff strong chars, like Ara, Raven, a bit for Rose. And nerf Aisha, Chung and Rena’s speed (because why not nerf speed on char with probably slowest base speed).

  • Rinkaze says:

    aww darn it JB damage gutted by half now sht be hard to keep up with SOV at times

  • ThanksForNothing says:

    KoG… JUST STOP IT WITH THIS CRAP! JUST STOP IT! I can’t with this BS anymore…………….

  • Pve chung main says:

    yo i guess it’s time to quit chung.
    Kog employee: Hey boss, chungs are too strong in pvp
    Kog: let’s nerf him in pve then.
    Very nice 10/10 game. I love you

    • Endgame says:

      Remember when a player directly asked KOG about making skills function differently in PVE and PVP but then KOG gave some bullshit excuse about confusing players?

      Pepperidge Farm remembers.

  • LordAin says:

    Why is Richter ALWAYS getting nerfs in each and every god damn patch??? I swear I’m about to quite this class once and for all because this is getting ridiculous. It’s a good thing I didn’t delete my other Ain. I guess I’ll make a Bluhen now because he seems to be the only viable option of all the three paths.

    • Yazara says:

      What xD? Nerf? Where?
      Richter from all Ain classes have the least nerf updates. He all time have buff ot nothing. And if he get nerf, few weeks later this nerf is already gone, because KoG give back his dmg. The most visible nerf is after last time (if i good remember) when they nerf Power Creation and removed specalization A and B. You know when this class will be dead? When KoG nerfs his main passive.

    • Katja Eclair says:

      Patch to Autosuggestion made gaining Reinforced Projection stacks 2 times faster. Pretty great buff, imo.

  • DrBadTime says:

    Welp Idk how to feel about that entferner nerf… I like spamming that skill.

    abgumd now is a nerf, but does dmg ignoring in pvp now…So that a buff in terms of kill the 100% pve dmg.

    dunno how to feel but same old same old.

    rip my flame skill do qq

  • EveIsLove says:

    Nerfed Heaven’s Fist – Sweeper, one of the few best clearing skills Esencia has… SMDH

    • TrooperRobi says:

      as a CEs main myself, i do think sweeper is “a bit” op and it kinda needs a nerf but not that much. If something needs to be nerfed on CEs then it should be geno mod and/or nasod recharge, not sweeper. This is like the dlg nerf all over again, sade.

      • stpadr says:

        it’s not OP duh

        u forgot about authority nerf few patches ago? (30% -> 20%)

        sweeper getting buffed is aimed to counter that nerf (so only DLG affected significantly)

        then they nerfed sweeper

        brainless thinking from kog tbh

        • TrooperRobi says:

          10% is not really much, the mp gain is still there. And i don’t think it affects Sweeper, since it’s not a summon skill, although sweeper is a summon bond skill. Note: they’re diff.

          Don’t get me wrong, i’m sad at this nerf, angry even, cause my elria has full sweeper tears. But i don’t like bitching like most ppl here. It’s so not CEs, and it’s not like the class would be trash when this nerf hits. Like i said on my other post, we still have other op stuff.

      • EveIsLove says:

        You’re right, HFS is a decently OP skill but doesn’t need that much of a nerf. Still gonna be breezing a little bit anyway. Also that CU Atomic Shield nerf just had me crying, there goes the 80% dmg. reduce and 35% add. dmg in Demon Realm raids… *sigh* KoG is just having zero mercy on defense right now…

  • saixd says:

    Nerf OZ again ? … datt shit kog

    • Arcueid says:

      Well to be fair, (mod) Ruin was a deserved nerf, because how easy was to exploit (mod) Ruin then (mod) Hell Stone, 3 beads Awakening then do again for a instakill on pvp, just like the absurd petite angkor millions spam, and yes I’m a Oz main who have got to SSS just because of that

    That Heavy Stance nerf… WHY?
    Just make that 40% be PvP exclusive!
    Just fokin make CC unable to Guard mid-combo, srsly it can only withstand 6 hits and you need to be a speeddemon or make someone fly over a ledge to catch anything from it…

  • deviUser says:

    Really looking for a new character that can fight Raven and Chung….

    We’re really going to need it.

    • Endgame says:

      Apparently in KR the Aisha players are still kicking their asses, they’re crying for nerfs, and KOG is delivering on those nerfs…..

      And yet even after the nerfs, the Aisha players are still kicking their asses…..

      What is it about Aisha that makes players turn bad and whiny around her? Is it that they can’t resist her cuteness and end up subconsciously losing on purpose~?

      • QWQ says:

        Maybe becuz HUUUR IDK Aisha is running and throwing stuffs at ppl for idk lets say YEARS? -_- god End

        • Endgame says:

          And in all those years, those scrubs have refused to learn how to counter that. Just continuing to charge mindlessly at them (The same shit that made them whine about Add. He hard counters that playstyle.) and stop in their tracks, type out “dur hur RUNNER SPAMMER!”, and give Aisha more time to charge up MP…..

          Aisha is getting nerfed because other people can’t learn to play. And yet, because they don’t touch Aisha’s core design, she can still outsmart those morons. Meaning Aisha players are getting hurt when it comes to dealing against the players that DO know how to play.

          Ain’t life grand?

          • FinalNail says:

            Why learn to play a dead/dying game?

          • Endgame says:

            I mean, I doubt it’ll make it to the end of 2019 (Unless they announce the shutdown late enough that the Korean laws make it stay up into 2020. A game is not allowed to shut down until 6 or so months after the cash shop is closed.) the way things are going unless the game actually pulls in blue whales to the point where just one guy can cover the server costs.

            But the game turns 11 years old this year. So it’d be pretty sad if they never learned to play…..

            …..Or learned to play NA where Aisha’s combos get screwed over by lag and they can just jump out of them.

          • FinalNail says:

            I loved the game so its kind of sad to see it in its current state really. PvP really got shafted over the years, PvE took the hit in collateral for no reason and they never took enhancements into consideration. In short, they balanced thinking about the highest enhance exclusively, but only really affected the players below that. Sad to say, but its probably only a matter of time before the game dies.

        • Shizzles says:

          And yet there are plenty others who can clock and gain better mp with simply doing normals than Aisha~

          gitgud

  • Main says:

    I feel like all add classes are so weak now…

  • K.G.I says:

    When will this game die? CU is already dead.

    • Endgame says:

      Honestly, a lot of us are baffled that it isn’t already dead.

      But there is a precedent for KOG killing a not quite dead yet game in favor of a new game. (Pulling the plug on Grand Chase to work on Aima.) AND KOG games flat out failing. (Fighters Club, Aima, Ultimate Race, Japan Grand Chase.)

      So all signs point to Elsword eventually dying. But eventually can’t come soon enough. Elsword and KOG need to die for many reasons. Namely so kMMO developers can’t see that they can get away with massive free stuff giveaways over actually addressing problems. (Closers did it too over the “feminazi” artist. controversy.) and because we don’t need loli culture corrupting kMMOs. (Lu is the only pedobait character in a major kMMO at this point. So if she goes, the creeping plague is stopped.)

      • K.G.I says:

        I don’t really care about the artistic feels of the game since I just think everyone got their own taste , but well everything else in there is down the hole at the current rate.

        Maybe I should go back to gachaing the rebooted GC on the phones.

        Also, I don’t really mind loli culture, I just happened to like Ishtar the most out of the 3.

  • Endgame says:

    So….. I replased into MapleStory about a month ago, and just got to level 200+ for the first time.

    And….. I feel like I owe KOG an apology. They’ve never come up with a mechanic as awful as Arcane Force. Let alone made us do quests where we fight enemies in higher level zones before we can even raise the damn stat.

    Holy hell, that was awful. And someone told me that they actually nerfed it from the original version…..

  • Endgame says:

    Today is Elesis’ birthday. So you know what that means~. HATE TIME!

    Usually, I talk about how she’s the worst thing to ever happen to the game, she’s ugly, how she completely eclipsed both Elbrat and Ara, how her Blazing Heart skill-cut in makes her look completely like a man when you can’t see her chest, how she singlehandedly ruined red hair for me, how she has a job path where she wears an honest to goodness prostitute outfit, etc.

    But this year, I want you to consider this:

    Elesis is the Knight Captain of the Red Knights. A division of the Velder military. From what information we’ve seen, the top one at that.

    Elesis was, as far as we can tell, the highest ranking knight in all of Velder. She swore an oath to protect Velder.

    …..But one day, she just up and left doing god knows what. It is not clear if she actually discussed Scar with anyone in Velder or the Red Knights. (One would think a young girl would want the help of some adults tracking down a demon instead of doing it all on her own.) And it certainly is apparent that she didn’t do anything to hinder Scar’s plan since, y’know. He technically succeeds in reviving Surtr. (Or however KOG translated it. We all know the mythological reference.)

    Elesis was gone for what can be assumed to be 9 or 10 years. (She looks like a 9 or10 year old in the flashbacks, and we know she’s 19 as of 2nd Job Advancement, which she has reached by the time she shows up.) With a questionable record of accomplishments.

    Elesis was absent when Feita, which is next to Velder, was assaulted by demons.

    Elesis was absent when Hamel was being ravaged by demons. (Rewatch Chung’s intro, the demons basically took everything but the capital city and only because Helputt was fending them off before Ran corrupted him.) You’d think 90% of a major nation in Elrios being lost to demons would be huge news and something the Knight Captain on a mission to get to the bottom of a demon invasion would hear about and intervene in. But no. And yet, her own Red Knights are there.

    Elesis was absent when Velder, her own kingdom she was the high ranking knight of, was invaded and absolutely devastated. Artea was captured, many children were orphaned or even killed, and there was even some psycho with a laboratory in the capital city attempting to develop Nasod weapons amidst the chaos!

    Oh, NOW Elesis shows up! But it’s too late. Even with her Mary Sue powers, the capital has been lost. They must retreat.

    So what happens? Is Elesis brought before a tribunal to discuss her negligence of her sworn duties and apparently having nothing to show for it, as she offers no information on the demon invasion upon her return nor the head of General Scar?

    …..Nope. Elesis is just put back in charge of the Red Knights and Peninsio who was running everything in her absence immediately starts gushing over her.

    Elesis is held to zero accountability whatsoever.

    If you lived in Elrios as a Velder citizen, would YOU feel safe under the leadership of Elesis? I know I wouldn’t.

    • FinalNail says:

      We call this plotholes, retcons, bad writing and/or being one of the main cast and getting a free pass (which falls into bad writing anyway). Like the part where the elgang sell their left kidneys to get the equipment necessary to confront Rosso…oh wait.

    • qazwsx says:

      Let me just add on a few more things that made me recently hate her (cause I just looked through the story)….

      She “became” the el lady cause why?
      – the only thing I can give her is that she is the main character’s sister but other than that-
      – her job paths have nothing in common with the previous el lady
      – ES is a general whereas hernia is more of a typical “shy” girl that wants to protect everyone
      – FL is a freaken pyromaniac
      – BQ is just outright crazy
      Rena or Ara would be a lot more fitting for that role since they are both the more “nice girl” type characters.

      Speaking of BQ, compared to certain other characters her reasoning for wanting to kill the demons just seems kind of unnecessary.
      -Ara and Chung lost a family member to the demons
      -Add had his parents killed right in front and the only thing he is crazy about is research
      -Raven had his finance AND his allies killed in front of him and he just wants to make up for his misdeeds
      So why does elesis which supposed to stand for righteousness break down and go insane when some of her irrelevant comrades got ambushed and killed? You’re telling me that she is even more mentally unstable than Add?

      That and BQ looks like an insane prostitute that would murder you in your sleep.

      • K.G.I says:

        I think Elesis can become the El Lady because maybe she has some affinity with the El in her blood like Elboy.

        And no, why the heck does each character have to have the same personality to take up a position anyway?

        No one knows how important those knights to Elesis in BQ path so just take that with a grain of salt.

        Also, she seems to be doing something back way before the assault on Feita and Velder and may just had finished to come back in time for Velder’s assault. The Velder chapter post-revamp does hint that she might have known Chloe at some point outside of the story so there’s that.

        • qazwsx says:

          Maybe but it has never been shown so it’s just speculation. She was just chosen by the el lady at the end of lanox with no prior explanation.

          Because a character’s personality defines what the character is. Don’t you think that as an elf whose sworn duty is to protect the el, Rena just might be a bit better for the role? Overall, it matters because it makes sense which makes the story more believable.

          Yes you’re right no one knows how important those knights are to her but that’s the point. Those characters have no backstory whatsoever. Are they more important than the knights that died after being controlled by Ran? We don’t know anything about them other than them being her comrades. It’s HIGHLY UNLIKELY that they are more important to her than Add’s parents (there’s even a hyper in where he breaks down thinking of his mother) or Raven’s fiance/group. So unless Elsword gets slain right in front of her, it wouldn’t be believable.

          • SkyVR says:

            Well from what I got after reading the Elysion Quest logs (The only interesting part of lore) is that Rubenian people have always had the most outstanding connection with the Power of El, Solace and Hernia had Rubenian bloodline and as such they were both very closely linked with it, specially Hernia, I can only assume Elesis was chosen because while Elkiddo is also rubenian and has potential, he rly couldn’t control his magic powers until Magic Knight where he obtained some sort of amulet or trinket, whereas Elesis was just as prominent without some thingamajig.

            And because KR-animu-ish logicc.

          • Azunara says:

            im sorry but thats just plain stupid reasoning. all the el ladies dont need the same personality to be one. utterly ridiculous. and it makes sense that elesis can become the el lady being elswords sister and all i dont think it needs to go deeper than that.

          • Azunara says:

            and you have to keep in mind that for a while, elesis was way stronger than elsword, as his storyline is basically him catching up with her in power, until 3rd job.

      • Coki91 says:

        I agree with you , BQ’s motivation is just Dumb , Crimson avenger’s is ALRIGHT but BQ’s is patheticly dumb … is like ”yo i kill a lot (almost the same amount as any other El gang group) so i must be an ludicrous assasin gerl >:D” wich is… As stated , dumb and pointless

    • qazwsx says:

      Hmm I couldn’t find any connection with Hernia and ruben even after looking through elwiki so I don’t really know. Though if it does then it will at least be an explanation but I still believe that Rena would be a better candidate for becoming the el lady since her literal existence depends on the state of the el.

      Overall it just feels like kog is trying to shove their favoritism for elesis down our throats. Her becoming the el lady is just one example.

      • SkyVR says:

        Its hinted in the Necklace that both Solace and Hernia use, the Rubenian Resonance Stone.

        And yes, its just favoritism, the El Lady title could have gone to other 2 Elgrills and it would make much more sense, funnily enough since Elrianode Hall of El you could just change the contemporary title to El Lord since Elbrat almost did the job that the El Lady was supposed to do, be consumed by the El, so its just forcing Elesis to have relevancy with the whole El Lady thing.

        And if the El Lady was supposed to be a human, then it would kinda make sense, while that atrocity of a char Ara is a gud person like Hernia, I doubt she had much of a connection to the El compared to Elesis and specially Rena.

        So yeah, she’s the future El Lady just because.

        • qazwsx says:

          I guess that does give a slight explanation but that still doesn’t excuse the favoritism.

          As a character, she’s just another cliche “righteous” type character but nothing too bad. And then kog made her flawless. How is the only one that can drive away Chole’s army? I get that the el search party was worn out or whatever but you’re telling me that elesis by HERSELF and defeat an ENTIRE army that was giving the Velder armies trouble that entire time?

          And as if she wasn’t perfect enough, kog decided to make her a candidate to become a literal embodiment god. I don’t even think kirito was this perfect.

          As for what you’ve said about Ara, yeah I guess you’re right the only thing she has in common with Hernia was their personalities. But with that kind of favoritism anyone could have been made into the el lady.

    • Azunara says:

      and screw you for disrespecting elesis, that is all. you sound like a crybaby

      • qazwsx says:

        So I’m not allowed to dislike a character for its terrible lore?

      • qazwsx says:

        Also, personalities are what makes a character who they are. If a character’s personality doesn’t match up with their roles then there needs to be an explanation as to why that certain character has that role otherwise it’s just bad writing. And no it’s not as simple as “she’s Elsword’s sister” because if that’s the case then why wasn’t Elsword’s mother mentioned as a candidate for the role? By your logic all it takes to become the el lady is to be related to the main character. Elesis HERSELF needs to have a defining characteristic to make sense of her getting such a significant role. That’s where the personality or “a defining trait” of a character comes into play. That is why I’m saying that Rena would be a lot more fitting for that role because her existence depends on the state of the el. If you’re satisfied with “elesis is the chosen one because kog says so” then I’m sorry but you either have really low standards or a shallow mindset.

        Secondly, yes she is stronger than Elsword but that doesn’t justify her beating an entire demon army by herself. Every single one of the search party members as well as the velder army was retreating and you’re telling me that elesis by herself with no assistance is able to defeat the entire army? Now THAT is ridiculous.

        Lastly, I’m calling out how ridiculous the favoritism that elesis is receiving from kog is. Originally I didn’t mind her as a character but the bias that kog has towards her is simply ridiculous. If you can’t see that and is just here to “white knight” a terribly written character then you’re better off not saying anything at all. If you have a proper response to what I’ve said then you’re completely welcome to say it. You’re not going to change anyone’s minds with “screw you for disliking what i like” and “stop crying”.

    Huh. People don’t like their classes getting nerfed. Who knew?

    This game becomes more cancer for Aisha players
    one of the reason why i quit this shitty game

  • Katja Eclair says:

    What’s Rena’s base attack speed now after the NF system change?

  • GenjiMain says:

    I think people are saying rena stuff is a nerf, due to zeros vid.
    and there are people who look at rosso stats.
    and then there are people who look at daily pve dung runs in large maps.
    anemos is sanic idk about the other renas /shrug
    But NF system needs a rework tbh. it really only benefits pvp situations now ( single target) and raid boss ofc.
    as for mobs and etc is like eh.

  • Bryana says:

    kinda stupid to nerf the defensive skills, giving how broken some of these mobs’ attacks r and taking u out within a couple hits if u arent careful. if anything they should buff ALL the shield skills like Wonder Wall to 50% or higher (PO’s Magnetic Card’s 25% aint gonna save u).

    some crit for Rena is nice, but the whole point of the NF system was to give Rena speed and increase her natural MP gain (since standing still and charging is not as much as Aisha’s charge)

  • Azunara says:

    Are you freaking serious? they keep unnecessarily nerfing my ES and its starting to really piss me off. like why did tha nerf even need to exist? iron body is already trash after theyve nerfed it so much already, and now they have ruined sword of victory/juggernaut buster… at this point im about ready to quit. all this time and effort ive put into this damn character and they keep nerfing her for nothing.
