◆ New Features

- New achievement added: Achievements related to Larina's dopamine channel have been added.
- New feature added in Options 'Account': You can initialize the cache by clicking the 'Restore Game Data' button. (User's data will refresh from the game server.)
◆ Improvements
ㆍRemoval of the 'Response attack damage compensation according to action point consumption' system from the ally's battle damage calculation formula
- I will briefly explain the 'Counterattack damage compensation' function that has been applied since the opening of Horizon Walker.
- The counterattack damage of a normal attack is set based on 30 action points, so the counterattack of a character who uses more action points than 30 will have the damage reduced according to 30 action points.
- This function was a system that was included to balance the difference in action point consumption of normal attacks, but it did not have a significant effect on actual gameplay and it was not a structure that could intuitively understand the reduction in counterattack damage, so the system was removed. (Due to the deletion of the system, the counterattack damage of characters with more than 30 action points for normal attacks, such as Ines and Araha, will increase by 50% to 100%.)
ㆍThe UI has been improved so that you can enter dungeons such as Platinum Corridor right away when they open during the story.
ㆍThe UI convenience has been improved so that you can enter dungeons by clicking on them on the map.
ㆍThe shape of the shadow of the front hair bangs when wearing the swimsuit skin of the Marim Guard has been improved.
ㆍThe front hair bangs in the massage room of the 'basic skin' of the Juha Guard have been improved so that they move more naturally.
