Esper Balance Adjustments in Version 3.1.7
2022-12-16
Based on correspondence about the stage adjustments done in version 3.1.7, we will adjust the abilities and stats of some Espers after version 3.1.7. We hope to give each Esper a clearer and more unique role on the battlefield, bringing more freedom for players to make their best squad lineups and strategies.
For all players who have acquired and invested in Espers that are affected by these adjustments, we will issue Rewind Certificates after version 3.1.7 (which can be found in the Inventory after the update).
Below is a preliminary plan to balance the Espers. (Not the final plan and subject to change. The final content released in the future update may differ from this version.)
We truly value the input from all our players. You are more than welcomed to tell us what you think by leaving us a comment. Based on your feedback and our ongoing research and tests, we will continue to finetune and optimize the current plan thoughtfully.
