[Striker Skill Improvements]
Thank you all for your attention to the Kraken and VAL reworks. We will continue to optimize other Strikers in the future.
Currently, we've found that Kraken's blinding and healing effects exceed expectations, so we've decided to make the following adjustments:
1. Blind duration reduced from 3s→2s; Lv3 blind duration bonus decreased from 100%→50%.
2. Vortex's blind projectile delay increased from 0.5s→1s.
3. When obstacles exist between the target and the crow, the crow will not trigger its blinding projectile.
4. Soul Hunt's healing effect reduced from 45→30, cooldown reduction decreased from 20%→15%.
【Arms Race Optimization】
1. We noticed players want to compete with friends in [Arms Race], so we've now opened the [Team Matchmaking] feature. However, please note: teams are only for the matchmaking phase—players can enter the same match but will fight individually once the game starts. Go challenge your friends now!
2. We observed that it's difficult to locate and counter the top-ranked player in a match. Now, when the leading player is significantly ahead, they will be Marked on the map. Use melee attacks to steal their levels and claim first place!
3. To enhance the competitive experience, the max level in [Arms Race] has been increased from 20 to 21. Players who achieve a Gold dagger Kill will advance to the new level 21, distinguishing them from other level 20 players. Fight with honor!
