Malvira, Keeper of the Dead

Fixed an issue where HP would occasionally fail to restore when the [Resentment] status was removed.

Malrik, The Rogue of Runes

Skill Adjustments

Added extra skill [Rune of Deception]: In Malrik’s Halls of Illusion, when the Ultimate is cast, 1 additional Wizard’s Rune is granted to 1 ally with the highest ATK on the battlefield. Malrik will not switch forms based on this rune. This effect can be triggered 1 time per deployment.

[Rune Mastery]

When casting the Ultimate, Rage restored to heroes granted Wizard’s Runes or to the caster is enhanced from 5/5/8/8/10% to 10/10/15/15/20%.
When casting the Ultimate, “Malrik permanently gains 3/4/4/5/5% ATK, up to 5 times per battle” is adjusted to “Malrik permanently gains 6/8/8/10/10% ATK, up to 3 times per battle.”

Awakening Adjustments

[Awakened I] Ice Storm’s chance to inflict Winter’s Bite increased from 70% to 100%.

Bug Fixes

[Rune Mastery] Passive: Fixed a bug where Rage would be incorrectly restored when other allies were in range.

Diaochan, Moon’s Radiance

Fixed an issue where unexpected extra skill casts would occasionally occur during Arena Auto-fight.

Other Hero and Battle Fixes

Fixed an issue where some heroes and monsters would occasionally cause battle anomalies when attacking already dead units.
Fixed an issue where Beelzebub’s Ultimate AoE DMG reduction effect for allies in range would only apply to non-full HP allies.
Fixed an issue where Tactician heroes would slow down game speed when using skills while under control effects.

Drake’s Chasm Drop Adjustment

In Boss Chests from Drake’s Chasm Nightmare III or above, chests that previously could drop Unpolished Legendary Soulstones will now additionally drop “Shard: Unpolished Legendary Soulstone.”
“Shard: Unpolished Legendary Soulstone” can assemble Unpolished Legendary Soulstones for use.
This change will not affect the drop rates of original rewards.

Guild War Revamp

Added Bot Stronghold

When Guild War begins, a Bot Stronghold will be added in addition to the original five Commander strongholds.
The Bot Stronghold is defended by Bot Guards set by the System, and the guard strength is affected by the current guild’s tier.
Attacking the Bot Stronghold also consumes Guild War challenge attempts, and the actual DMG dealt to the Bot Stronghold will only count as 25% toward the total Guild War HP.
Single attack rewards for the Bot Stronghold are lower than those for Commander strongholds.

Added System Attack Plans

Can be selected in Demon Soldier Team > Attack Plans > System Recommended Plans.
System attack plans are not cleared with seasonal resets and currently only apply to Bot Stronghold maps.
