Since the start of our Early Access last month, our team has been running towards an even more significant mission, the Grand Update.

In this developer note, we would like to share some finalized matters after consideration for improvement and provide a sneak peek at some of the upcoming updates.

[ARISE: Feedback]

During the Early Access period, many hunters provided diverse and fantastic feedback on maximizing the fun of various combat styles.

We have promptly addressed feedback that could be quickly implemented through development, while improvements for other feedback are still in progress.

- The Gold cost for Artifact replacement will be reduced based on the Enhancement Tier.

- Gold Repeat Rewards for Gate missions will be increased.

- Considering lowering the difficulty of accomplishing certain events

Reflecting the feedback from many hunters, we have decreased the Artifact removal cost and increased the sources of Gold acquisition.

Through this measure, we hope hunters can combine various Artifact stats and experience diverse action gameplay.

(Thank you to all the hunters who provided feedback!)

[Faction of the Shield Skill Level Up]

We have activated the Faction of the Shield since the start of Early Access last month.

Furthermore, we have leveled up the Faction of the Shield to investigate malicious activities, impose sanctions, and take measures to delete the rankings of detected fraudulent registrations.

In the future, we will continue strengthening the Faction of the Shield and strive to create a fair gaming environment.

(Fraudulent registrations will not be able to escape the scrutiny of the Hunter Association's Surveillance Team)

[The Winds of Change]

First of all, thank you again for enjoying Solo Leveling:ARISE during the Early Access period.

Now, we will introduce the completed development of the major updates mentioned in the previous developer note, as well as the various contents that our team will introduce in the future.

(As a developer, it's always fun and happy to present new updates.)

“Diversity”

Our team hoped that hunters would enjoy diverse gameplay through various combinations.

Sometimes through combinations of Artifacts, sometimes through Runes and Blessing Stones, or even combinations of different Skills and Weapons.

However, after analyzing the diverse play patterns of hunters during the past period, we found that various combinations were not being used as intended, and we are currently working on finding the causes and making improvements.

We would like to thank the hunters who have helped improve the completeness of this project.

Based on feedback from hunters, the following balance adjustments will be made to improve completeness.

Sung Jinwoo Exclusive Weapon

- [Demon King's Longsword] is a powerful, yet hard to obtain S-Rank item in the original story, but its power does not seem to be activated properly in-game. Therefore, the damage will be adjusted upward based on its Advancement Tier.

- The Critical Hit Rate of [Orc's Broadsword] will be adjusted upwards based on its Advancement Tier.

- The Damage of [Rock Golem Hammer] will be adjusted upwards based on its Advancement Tier.

- The Shield and Damage of [Knight Killer] will be adjusted upwards based on its Advancement Tier.

- The Damage of [West Wind] will be reduced, and only 1 stack is possible per skill.

- When the first target of [West Wind] is hit with a Critical Hit, the cooldown decreases.

Hunter Stats [Updated 4/26 (Fri) 11:00 (UTC+0)]

- Will fix the issue where only two Phantom Foxes were summoned in certain circumstances upon reaching Advancement Tier 1 with Lee Bora.

- Will fix the issue where Woo Jinchul's Super Armor was not applied in certain circumstances.

- WIll increase the damage of Han Song-Yi's Retrieve skill.

- Will fix the issue where mana consumption increased abnormally upon reaching Advancement Tier 1 with Song Chiyul.

* Some text has been clarified to avoid confusion.

Certain Stats [Updated 4/26 (Fri) 11:00 (UTC+0)]

- Will fix the issue where the Critical Damage stat dealt to Magic Beasts was applied less than intended.

We sincerely apologize to our Hunters for the inconvenience caused by the issue.

* Some text has been clarified to avoid confusion.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the Hunters who have contributed to improving the completeness of Solo Leveling:Arise. Now, we would like to proceed with sharing the upcoming update details.

Sung Jinwoo has overcome numerous hardships and trials against adversaries like Arachnid, Hwang Dongsuk, Kang Taeshik, and Igris.

In the upcoming update, the addition of a new story will introduce the appearance of Almighty Shaman Kargalgan and unexpected twists and turns in the adventure.

If you haven't equipped artifacts suitable for hunters yet, the new content may demand extreme control and strategy.

After reading this, you now have a choice to make.

Focusing on farming artifacts or training your control skills?

(Unless you have high-end gear from head to toe like Yoo Jinho.)

[Hunters' Runway]

Our team hoped that battles with various hunters would offer a different kind of excitement from Sung Jinwoo's battles.

Fortunately, it seems that hunters are enjoying quite interesting battles through various combinations.

In particular, we were pleased to know that we could provide different combat gameplay experiences by observing hunters challenging dungeons like The Gatekeeper of Hell, Cerberus, and The Runaway Giant Arachnid with different combinations.

To provide another layer of enjoyment in hunter combination battles, we are preparing a system with various costumes for hunters actively participating in raids and making the dungeon feel like a runway. We appreciate your anticipation.

[Next Step!]

While Sung Jinwoo experienced a Job Change to The Monarch of Shadows only once in the original work, our team wanted to express that Sung Jinwoo is continuously growing.

Through the Change Job system, feedback on growth is provided through milestones to expand the combat experience.

With the upcoming update, Sung Jinwoo will be able to achieve a Job Change beyond The Monarch of Shadows, and hunters will be able to experience more diverse skills along with a unique costume based on the new Changed Job.

[Fragments of Their Stories]

In addition to the stories of Kang Taeshik, who causes mysterious accidents, and B-Rank healer Lee Joohee, who is afraid of Magic Beasts, new hunters' stories await you.

Please look forward to what secret stories the new hunters will tell.

[Power of Destruction]

The boss of Power of Destruction uses various Lethal Moves depending on their phase transition.

Sometimes, he raises his right hand and strikes hard, and sometimes sweeps the floor, going berserk.

The key to Power of Destruction is to repeatedly enjoy the pleasure of intuitive numerical growth through the cycle of growth → numerical verification → reward acquisition → growth.

However, we have determined that improvements to the current mechanism are necessary to provide the above-mentioned enjoyment, and we are considering various improvements.

More details will be revealed in the upcoming Update Details notice.

[No Secrets - New Hunter Arrival]

"Cha Hae-In" will join the Gate raid.

[Vice Guild Master of the Hunters Guild]

As Korea's ninth S-Rank hunter, she attracts public attention with her beautiful appearance and outstanding skills.

However, we had some concerns about Cha Hae-In's exposure in various communities and the trend predicting her as the next Rate Up hunter.

As well as when and how to introduce Cha Hae-In and in what form.

(Hunters' prediction skills are indeed remarkable.)

As many hunters have eagerly awaited Cha Hae-In's arrival, we are pleased to announce in this developer note that Cha Hae-In will join the Gate raid.

Our team is focusing on the upcoming grand update.

Through this update, we aim to excite the world and deliver amazing action never seen before.

We appreciate your continued interest and participation in Solo Leveling:ARISE as we embark on this new journey.
