The Frozen Canvas

Thus, the empty snowfield gains its own hues. Thus, a brand-new world is born from your brushstrokes. When the final stroke falls, the painter becomes the Snowy Silhouette. Enter the procedural maps you've created within the painting. What kind of fantastic scenery will the creator of this world witness?

New Hero Trait
Tide Whisperer Selena
Sing with the Tide
Oh surging tide, sing with me!
Selena brings unmatched versatility to the battlefield with her ability to switch between Bard and Loud Song forms. Bard Mode: In Bard mode, Selena can envelop her skills in foam. When the foam touches an enemy, it bursts, automatically triggering the skill. Additionally, she can summon tides along her path of movement, increasing her damage output while allowing her to ignore enemy collisions within the tide. Loud Song Mode: In Loud Song mode, Selena sacrifices movement speed, attack speed, and cast speed for a significant boost in damage. This form is perfect for when you need to unleash a powerful offensive.
Season-Exclusive Gameplay
Skill System - Skill Advancement
Unleash New Power: Introducing Inspiration Essence
We've introduced a range of exclusive support skills designed for the majority of active skills. Hunters can now equip these exclusive support skills in slots 3 and 5 of the skill support slots. These enhancements not only boost skill damage but also alter skill forms, creating unexpected and extraordinary effects that significantly enrich the combat experience.
Exclusive support skills aren't acquired through traditional means or combat experience. Instead, they require the consumption of rare materials—Inspiration Essence—and leveling up with skills of the same name. Hunters can obtain exclusive support skills and Inspiration Essence through The Frozen Canvas gameplay, enabling the construction of more robust, diverse, and imaginative builds.
Support Skills Overview
Core Balancing Adjustements
Attribute Distribution Balancing
We've rebalanced the distribution of various attributes to make certain rare attributes, like aura effects, curse effects, movement speed, and skill area, more valuable and impactful. By reducing the frequency of these rare attributes, we ensure they remain precious and significantly enhance your build experience.
Mechanism Strength Balancing
We've fine-tuned the strength of different game mechanics to create a more balanced experience. This includes removing the snapshot mechanism, adjusting the attribute conversion damage mechanism, and redesigning the shock mechanism. These changes aim to narrow the gap between strong and weak builds, ensuring that each crafted gear affix meaningfully enhances your progression.

We've removed Hero Relics and reworked Hero Memories to better align with player expectations. The new Hero Memories system features Trait Levels that activate Hero Traits and provide stable, regular stats for Hunters.
