Planned Combat Adjustments
We don't know if those changes will be released with the 9th March update.
Resonance-based Offense & Defense Level Boost
Sin Resonance will now boost the Offense/Defense Level as well. (Offense Level boost applies to Attack/Counter skills, hile Defense Level applies to Guard/Evade skills.)
Absolute Resonance applies the highest level of the boost to all resonating skills in the chain.
Defense Skill Changes
Using defense skills in regular combat will no longer skip the unit's action.
Defense skills will be able to redirect enemy skills in Abnormality battles.
Guard and Evade skills will activate when the unit is about to be attacked by a skill that would otherwise result in a Clash if they were not defending, rather than any attack.
Counter skills maintain the same activation conditions.
Guard and Evade skills are now affected by character growth
Defense skills (outside of Counter) are affected by the Defense Level.
When using a Guard or Evade skill, its Power may increase or decrease based on the difference between the attacking skill's Offense Level and the defending skill's Defense Level.
Changes to Stagger
The turn-based action slot additions on the Dashboard will prioritize non-Staggered units.
There will be adjustments to the Stagger Thresholds of certain Identities based on their intended roles and traits. (e.g. Tankers and Damage Sponges will have fewer thresholds; Offense-oriented characters may see little change to their Stagger Thresholds.)
Clashes will further boost the final damage
1% -> 3% damage boost per Clash.
* The listed adjustments are under development and are subject to change during our internal testing. We will notify you of the finalized adjustments in a future announcement around the time of the update.
