VGN GM Jordan Posted February 15 VGN GM Report Share Posted February 15 Pet Skill Update It's been on the list for a while now but we have finally gotten around to revamping the pet battle skills! Pet skills have been poorly balanced for a while now with most of them being useless while having one or two of them being really broken (We're looking at you Blade Fury). We hope that this brings more variety to pet skills and also gives us the opportunity to re-enable pets across all PvE content. In addition to the changes pets will now always learn their ultimate skill upon reaching 4 stars. Skill Categories So we have revamped all the pet skills and broken them into several categories. Standard Class Skills These come on all alpha / prime pets as standard. Can be learned via Skill Book for slot 1 and slot 2. Enhanced Class Skills These come on all legendary pets as standard. Can be learned via Skill Book for slot 1, slot 2 and Slot 3. General Pet Skills These come on most legendary pets and some custom prime pets as standard. Can be learned via Skill Book for Slot 1, Slot 2 and Slot 3. Special Pet Skills These come on some legendary pets as standard. Can be learned via Skill Book for Slot 1, Slot 2 and Slot 3. Prime Ultimate Pet Skills These are obtained by reaching 4 stars on a prime grade pet. Can be rerolled using Ultimate Skill Reroll Book! Legendary Ultimate Pet Skills These are obtained by reaching 4 stars on a legendary grade pet. Can be rerolled using Ultimate Skill Reroll Book! How to obtain We have updated how to obtain the skills for pets outside of pet fusion. With the new changes we expect people to mostly ignore fusion when it comes to creating new battle pets. You can purchase the skill books with Pet Reward Coin's like before but instead of it being a big random pool for each skill it is now broken down into the above mentioned categories and then into slots. This reduces the RNG pool significantly making the process of making battle pets a lot cheaper. However, as mentioned above. To change your pets ultimate skill you must use the Ultimate Skill Reroll Book until you get the pet skill you want. Like before there is no Skill Book for Ultimate Skills. Changes to Exisiting Pets So you're probably wondering how this effects your current fused pets. Well we have tried to keep the id system in line with what people already have. So the skill that replaces another skill should be atleast similar to the skill it replaces. This isn't always the case but please know we tried the best we could to create as little disruption as possible. Due to some bad decisions there is some ultimate skills that have made it into slots they should be in (such as slot 1 and 2 on prime pets and additionally slot 3 on legendary pets). These skills will be removed with something else. Due to the amount of pets in game we cannot guarantee and can almost guarantee its going to be something people don't want in the slot. This is an unfortunate consequence so we can only apologize for this inconvenience. As for any left over Nelle's Pet Battle Handbook's they have been replaced with a refund item that will return 1 Pet Reward Coins. Any Vicinity Book's will refund 2 Pet Reward Coins. Other Pet Changes We have done some small adjustments to both Prime and Legendary pray values. These changes are mainly just to make the numbers match a bit better with other prays that are available. There has been some nerfs to the Movement Speed prays. Celestial Arrow Changes These changes have been long overdue since the Lethal Arrow rework. Unlike Lethal Arrow this class is mostly fine. However, we wanted to update the effects to be more relative to what the abilities state they do. We have also shifted some of the numbers around resulting in mostly buffs. Like with previous reworks here is a list of the new abilities: Spoiler Cleansing Arrow Cooldown: 3 seconds Grants P-ATK and deals Physical DMG to all enemies within 15 meters of the target reducing their Move SPD -10% for 7 seconds, stacks 5 times.

Abyss Adjustments Although the content is still relatively new we have made some small adjustments to the material requirements for the new awaken sets. We have reduced the amount of Abyssal Essences required for the Essence Enhancement Blueprints from 5 to 3. We have also adjusted the amount of Abyssal Souls required for Partial Enchant Boxes from 60 to 50.
