September 2nd 2022 Update Patch Notes
Balance Adjustments
Itsumade
We will slightly increase Itsumade’s early game farming speed and add a new cooldown time return mechanic to her ultimate ability. We hope that this will suitably mitigate the negative experience of Itsumade not being able to affect the accuracy of her ultimate ability through her controls.
Trait: Golden Feather
Increased base damage from 6 to 9.
Ability 1: Hunter Repellent
Reduced cooldown from 5.5/5.1/4.8/4.4/4 seconds to 5/4.75/4.5/4.25/4 seconds.
Ultimate Ability: Feather Dance
Added: If the ability misses the enemy shikigami, the cooldown is reduced to 8 seconds.
Mannendake
Mannendake is currently relatively weak in battle. We will increase the width of her Ability 2 to increase its accuracy. We will also increase his farming speed and damage growth.
Trait: Bamboo Whisper: Breath
Increased the HP recovery growth with levels from 15 to 18.
Ability 2: Bamboo: Penetrate
Increased width from 125 yards to 160 yards.
Reduced cooldown from 4/3.7/3.4/3.1/2.8 seconds to 4/3.6/3.2/2.8/2.4 seconds.
Aori
Currently, Aori is relatively strong among the Mage shikigami. We will be suitably adjusting her strength.
Ability 1: Galaxy Amulet
Lowered subsequent damage reduction coefficient from 30% to 24%.
Ability 3: Arachnean Circle
Increased cooldown from 16 seconds to 18 seconds.
Ultimate Ability: Final Red Star
Reduced base damage from 90/180/270 to 90/165/240.
Reduced subsequent damage from 45/90/135 to 45/82.5/120.
Hannya
We hope that Hannya will have fixed harassment and suppression capabilities during the laning phase. We also hope that he has greater survivability in Melee state during the late game.
Ability 2: Ghoul Mask
Increased base damage from 10/40/70/100/130 to 30/60/90/120/150.
Ultimate Ability: Inner Demon
Increased Armor from 25/45/65 to 40/60/80.
Increased Magic Resist from 20/36/52 to 32/48/64.
Shouzu
We hope that when Shouzu fights against shikigami who can enter fights relatively easily, she can more effectively protect her teammates. We will increase the Stun duration of her Ability 2 and protection capability of her Ultimate Ability.
Ability 2: Inciting Waves
Increased the Stun duration for knockback into terrain from 0.8 seconds to 1.2 seconds.
Ultimate Ability: Ocean Stream
Increased damage transmission from 25/30/35% to 30/35/40%.
Rukia Kuchiki
Due to item optimizations and adjustments, there has been a general decline in strength for Rukia Kuchiki in all positions. We will increase her overall damage capabilities.
Trait: Sode no Shirayuki
Increased HP recovery from 20 (+10% of Ability Power) (+6*level) to 20 (+15% of Ability Power) (+8*level).
Ability 1: Sokatsui
Increased damage from 90/135/180/225/270 (+45% of Ability Power) to 90/140/190/240/290 (+50% of Ability Power).
Ultimate Ability: Tsugi no mai: Hakuren
Increased damage from 220/410/600 (+60% of Ability Power) to 250/440/630 (+75% of Ability Power).
Tanjiro Kamado
Among top lane shikigami now, Tanjiro Kamado has great advantages in all aspects. We hope to suitably reduce his survivability to balance the strength of Tanjiro Kamado and other top lane shikigami.
Ability 1: Water Breathing Fourth Second Eighth Sixth Forms
The Slow effect will gradually weaken.
Ability 3: Water Breathing Seventh Form
Increased cooldown from 12 seconds to 15/14.25/13.5/12.75/12 seconds.
Ultimate Ability: Hinokami Kagura
The Haste effect gradually weakens when there is no enemy target in front of him.
Heaven’s Thunder
We are glad that Heaven’s Thunder is now more compatible with the early game stat requirements of certain Marksman shikigami after the stat adjustments. However, the early game suppression capability is currently too strong. We will suitably reduce the bounce damage of chain lightning, in the hope of suitably lowering its laning strength while not reducing its stats or combat capabilities.
The damage of chain lightning reduces by 20% with each bounce, to a minimum of 40%.
Yin Yang Wheel
We hope that Yin Yang Wheel can become a core item for Samurai shikigami when fighting against Tank shikigami. Currently, its burst damage and monster killing capability are above expectations. We will reduce its damage against monsters and single attack damage while increasing its attack frequency.
Reduced damage from 5% of Max HP (+0.02%*Bonus Attack) to 3% of Max HP (+0.0125%*Bonus Attack). When attacking monsters, max damaged reduced to 20 (+5*level).
Reduced cooldown from 3 seconds to 2 seconds.
Kamimai
We have shifted the damage from the first two enhanced basic attacks of Kamimai to the explosion damage of the mark stacks. We hope that this allows her to focus her damage on the end of the single combo.
Trait: Falling Paper
Reduced next enhanced basic attack damage from (+30% of Bonus Attack) (+4*current level) to (+20% of Bonus Attack) (+2*current level).
Increased explosion damage from (+50% of Bonus Attack) (+8*current level) to (+80% of Bonus Attack) (+8*current level) when marks reach 3 stacks.
Yasha
We will slightly increase Yasha’s damage.
Trait: Deadly Pursuit
Increased single attack damage from (+5% of Bonus Attack) to (+5% of Bonus Attack) (+0.3*level).
Enenra
Enenra is relatively weak currently. We hope to increase her damage output.
Ability 3: Shadow Maze
Increased magic damage from 65 (+30% of Ability Power) to 65 (+40% of Ability Power).
Ultimate Ability: Irritable Spirit
Increased damage from 160/240/320 (+40% of Ability Power) to 190/270/350 (+45% of Ability Power).
Kingyo
We hope to increase Kingyo’s early game laning capability to improve her performance.
Ability 1: Fan Dance: Water Blast
Increased magic damage from 120/185/250/315/380 (+60% of Ability Power) to 140/200/260/320/380 (+65% of Ability Power).
Reduced cooldown from 8/7.4/6.8/6.2/5.6 seconds to 7.2/6.8/6.4/6.0/5.6 seconds.
Anna Kyoyama
Anna Kyoyama is currently relatively strong during the laning phase. We hope to reduce her strength during early game laning.
Ability 1: Zenki and Goki
Increased cooldown from 4 seconds to 6 seconds.
Reduced the disappearance distance between Zenki and Goki and Anna from 1050 to 900/937.5/975/1012.5/1050.
Reduced Zenki and Goki’s max dash distance from 800 to 750.

Optimizations and Adjustments
Optimized the judgment rules of certain items and Onmyodo affected by shikigami attack range, to ensure that they are only affected by the attack range of the current attack state when used by shikigami that possess both Melee and Ranged basic attack states.
Free Shikigami Lineup Bulletin
Onmyoji Arena will change the lineup of the limited-time free shikigami at 5:00 AM on 9/5. The new free shikigami will be Chin, Umibozu, Hououga, Jorogumo, Ryomen, Inugami, Dai Shimei, and Ittan-momen.

Of these shikigami, Ittan-momen has a difficulty of Hard. Onmyoji who have been in Heian-kyo for less than 7 days can’t use her in battle for free.
