The first update to Throne and Liberty brought a new event, balance adjustments, and a nerf to the Sphere The first update to Throne and Liberty in the new year brought a large-scale event called "Arkeum Invasion," balance adjustments, and gameplay improvements.
The event will run three times a day on weekdays and four times on weekends, allowing players to battle the invaders of the Arkeum Legion for rewards: the new Shapeshift Morph gesture, Chaos Prisms, and other currency. The event will run until January 28.
The main focus is on balance changes. Bonus damage has been reduced and damage resistance from armor effects, weapon skills, and temporary buffs has been increased. The Orb weapon has undergone a particularly serious overhaul: the 50% increase in shield durability when using Protective Satellite Summon on allies has been removed, but a 20% increase in Distortion Veil shield strength for orbs within range has been added. The goal is to reduce the overall power of the weapon and remove excessive advantages.
Battlefield mechanics have also been adjusted: the Indomitable Spirit bonus for the losing team now depends on the scale of the deficit. Additional changes have been made to the control resistance system, map fixes, expanded settings, and new keyboard shortcuts have been added for convenience.
