Esper Balance Adjustments in Version 3.2.6
2023-06-28
With version 3.2.6, we have improved certain selected Espers, ensuring their unique roles and impact on the game. These enhancements offer players more formation options and maintain overall game balance.
For all players who have acquired and invested in the Espers affected by these adjustments, we will issue Rewind Certificates after updating to 3.2.6 (the certificates will appear in your inventory after the update).
Below is a preliminary plan for the 3.2.6 Esper balance adjustments. All the values involved are for max-level Abilities. (Not the final plan, and is still subject to change. The final content released in future updates may differ from this version.)
