Balance Adjustments
Kainin
Kainin farms at a slower rate than other Ninja shikigami, and has a weaker performance despite similar Coins and EXP. We will increase her Ability 2’s second stage’s maximum damage to monsters, and slightly increase the growth of this ability.
Ability 1: Flying Leaves
Increased Attack bonus from 20% to 27.5%.
Ability 2: Shadow Strike
Increased the second stage’s maximum damage to monsters from 200/400/600/800/1,000 to 200/450/700/950/1,200.
Ultimate Ability: Instant Needle
Increased Shield points from 250/400/550 (+100% extra Attack) to 250/475/700 (+125% extra Attack).
Shuten Doji
We will suitably increase the Slow effect and displacement distance of Shuten Doji’s Ability 1 and Ability 3, respectively, to mitigate his disadvantage in mobility.
Ability 1: Lament
Increased the frequency of triggering a Slow effect in the Demonic Rage state, from being triggered upon casting the third basic attack to triggered with every basic attack.
Ability 3: Rampage
Increased displacement distance from 400 yards to 525 yards.
Fixed a bug in which the displacement distance was shorter than that on the casting indicator.
Vampira
We will increase the extent of, and adjust the maximum limit of Vampira’s passive damage boost when her HP is low, so that she can better use this mechanic to her advantage.
Natural Passive: Bloodline
Increased the damage boost with every 1% HP loss from 0.25% to 0.35% (+0.01%*level).
New: Maximum damage boost is achieved when Vampira has 30% HP left.
Mannendake
Mannendake’s overall performance was still not up to expectations after the previous adjustment. We will further increase his damage growth, and increase the proportion of cooldown time returned, so as to reduce the interval between two displacements.
Natural Passive: Bamboo Whisper: Breath
Increased damage level bonus from 8 to 10.
Ability 2: Bamboo: Penetrate
Increased base damage from 25/55/85/115/145 to 25/60/95/130/165.
Ability 3: Bamboo Wind: Dash
Increased the proportion of cooldown time returned from 60% to 70%.
Ootakemaru
We will suitably reduce Ootakemaru’s laning strength.
Ability 1: Hillcry: Thunder
Reduced thunderstorm’s damage from 5/10/15/20/25 (+20% of Attack) (+1% of Max HP) to 3/6/9/12/15 (+20% of Attack) (+0.6/0.7/0.8/0.9/1% of Max HP).
Reduced bonus on recovery of lost HP from 0.9/0.95/1/1.05/1.1% to 0.6/0.7/0.8/0.9/1%.
Ungaikyo
Ungaikyo still had a relatively strong performance after the previous adjustment. We will further reduce his recovery ability and the distance of his Ability 3.
Natural Passive: Yin and Yang
Reduced the proportion of HP restored in his other form upon dealing damage to a shikigami from 1% (+0.07%*level) to 0.65% (+0.09%*level).
Ability 3: Dual Lotus Conversion
Reduced distance from 650 to 600.
Fixed a bug in which the actual effective range is slightly greater than that on the effect’s range indicator.
Nezuko Kamado
Nezuko Kamado is immune to basic attacks when casting her Ability 3, but is still targeted with the same priority by the enemy shikigami’s basic attacks. This makes it difficult for the enemy to attack other shikigami. We will lower her priority as a target for the enemy shikigami’s basic attacks when she is casting her Ability 3, allowing the them to preferentially select other targets when they are around.
Ability 3: Shrink
Lowered priority for being targeted by enemy shikigami’s basic attacks.
Kinnara
As Ame-no-habaya is unaffected by attack effect coefficient, the current damage of Kinnara’s ultimate ability is highly contingent on Ame-no-habaya, resulting in a great disparity in damage in the early game compared to the late game. We will adjust Ame-no-habaya’s dependence on attack effect coefficient, and suitably counterbalance the damage progression of Kinnara’s ultimate ability.
Ultimate Ability: Flit
Increased Attack Damage and attack effect coefficient from 0.08/0.09/0.1 to 0.1/0.16/0.22.
Ame-no-habaya
Additional damage dealt is now dependent on the ability’s attack effect coefficient.
Occult: Purge Evil
We hoped that Occult: Purge Evil can help DPS-type shikigami better counter enemy lineups with better survivability, but the current time required for them to reach their maximum damage output is generally short. We will suitably increase their cooldown between stacks.
Increased cooldown between stacks of both damage and DoT from 0.3/0.6 seconds to 0.5/1 seconds.
Demon Encounter
New Shikigami
Ootakemaru, Asura, and Aori will join Demon Encounter!
Ootakemaru: Ability 2: Hillcry: Heavenly Drum Strengthened
Increased Heavenly Drum’s range and damage. Also tracks the target’s movement.
Asura: Ability 1: Lotus Extermination Strengthened
Increased damage dealt by the Bone Whip form. Increased Immobilize duration after each Bone Whip hit. Increased the slash count and speed of the Bone Sword form.
Aori: Ability 3: Arachnean Circle Strengthened
Total recorded damage for enemies in the magic circle is tallied once every second.
Balance Adjustments
Kani Hime
Ultimate Ability: Conch Maelstrom
Reduced max HP bonus damage from 20/25/30% to 16/20/24%.
Kanko
Ability 2: Bamboo Missiles
Reduced subsequent damage of bombs on the same target from 35% to 25%.
Kyuumei Neko
Natural Passive: Nine Lives
Reduced additional Crit Damage from 70% to 50%.
Yumekui
Ability 1: Speedy Spin
Reduced maximum Haste effect from 150–210% to 140–180%. Reduced maximum damage multiplier from 250% to 200%.
Shiro Mujou
Ultimate Ability: Hands of Hell
Increased MP cost from 100 per second to 160 per second.
Chin
Natural Passive: Chin Poison
Only deals 70% damage to secondary targets.
Jorogumo
Ability 3: Spider Symbol
Increased range radius from 400 to 500. Also inflicts a Slow effect on marked targets.
Ittan-momen
Natural Passive: Entanglement
Deals additional damage to targets inflicted with Fear when detonating marks.
Kosodenote
Ability 1: Hidden Sting
Increased damage reduction and control effect to 99% each. Additional damage increases by 40% each time the weakness is attacked (up to a maximum of 200%).
Shikigami Defense
There’s a new mode in Shikigami Defense! The creatures have gained a new resistance, causing the difficulty level of stages to increase slightly. Here are the details of the new additions and adjustments. Players are welcome to take up the new challenge!
Added a variety of buff effects for cards. New buff effects refresh with every specified wave. Selecting a buff applies its effect to the entire match.
Added a Materials Card Pool. Materials used for card upgrades are automatically added to the pool.
Added a card tally feature.
Creatures gain a resistance to Knockback. All creatures’ HP increased.
