Update 17.2

How to get it

Released on March 12, 2022. The Fandom presents it as an update centered on the Phoenix Awakening, accompanied by a large package of various changes.

Guns: the anti-aimbot nerf

To break aimbot, guns now deal decreasing damage to players, only in the Second Sea and Third Sea:

• The counter resets after a few seconds.
• The reduction only applies if the opponent moves: an idle opponent always takes 100% damage.
• Stated goal: let honest players continue playing guns normally.
• Suspicious Kill also triggers more accurately.

Mastery stat bonus overhaul

• Before: 1 stat point every 3 Mastery levels.
• After: 1 point every 4 levels, plus a small percentage based on your level (up to 10% of your level at 600 Mastery).
• Example given by the source: at Lv. 2300 with 500 Mastery, you get 500/4 + 2300 x (500/600) x 0.1 = 316 additional points.
• Result: the Mastery system now grants more stat points overall than before.

Other Changes

• Server Browser reimplemented, without Bounty filter until bounty exploiters are fixed.
• Animations of several weapons remade, Bisento for example, more to follow.
• Damage counter for combos, activable in Settings.
• Quest tracker and compass, to help beginner players find recommended quests.
• Advanced Raids added: they must first be unlocked and are harder than classic Raids.
• Raid difficulty now adapts to the level of participants.
• Ping compensation on stuns: players with high ping have a better combat experience.
• Experience given by all quests buffed overall.
• New enemies and new quest in First Sea (Prison), and adjustment of required levels for some other quests.
• Fan Art frames added to the Cafe and Mansion (Third Sea).
• Data restoration option for players banned by mistake, and reduced data penalty on future resets.
• New translation method in testing: some texts may temporarily not be translated, the goal being to support more languages, like Thai.
• When leveling up outside PvP combat, you recover 70% of your HP and energy.
• Maximum crew members increased to 30, from 25 before.
• Maximum daily trades increased from 4 to 5.
• Maximum Bounty/Honor increased to 30M, but no more PvP boost beyond 25M.
• Treasure Capacity renamed to Fruit Storage, with a proper icon.
• With Observation V2 active, chasing a player in combat who tries to flee increases dash distance by around 50%, with a ring serving as an indicator.

Quality of Life (QoL)

• Trying to spend more stat points than you have now directly uses the maximum possible: no need to calculate to max out a stat.
• Visual effects of Race V3 abilities improved.
• Visual effects of Dark Blade improved, including Triple Dark Blade.
• Visual effects of some Rumble V2 abilities improved.
• Quality of Death Step's wind effect improved.

Nerfs

• Pole (2nd Form): Z move hitbox and stun nerfed.

• Dragon: Z and transformed X damage reduced, and transformation now costs 20% of the Fury Meter.

Buffs

• Sharkman Karate: X breaks Observation, and Z hitbox grows toward the end of the attack.
• Cyborg: special ability reworked, it disables Observation of nearby opponents with faint lightning particles whose damage depends on level (0.1 damage per hit initially, +0.1 every 10 levels). It also gives 30% extra defense during V3.
• Sky V3 (Angel): special ability grants 15% defense instead of removing 30% damage from its user.
• True Triple Katana: less lag on both moves, especially Z; X slightly faster and larger; damage slightly increased on both moves.
• Flame V2: F grants a higher initial speed boost, and Z inflicts more damage while growing during its path.
• Light V2: X projectiles have longer range and ignore Observation.
• Magma V2: magma balls inflict much higher damage per tick, Z explosion damage is slightly increased, C ignores Observation, and the awakened user can walk on water.
• Ice V2: V is remade, it stuns longer and launches faster (like V1), but it can no longer be launched in the air and its hitbox only exists horizontally. C is also remade: longer stun and slightly faster path.
• String: auto-aim and C speed greatly increased.
• Soul: X, C, F cooldowns and click move cooldowns reduced; X and C share the same cooldown duration; Z can steal up to 2 souls by hitting multiple enemies at once; mood-related damage modifier slightly increased on V; C damage and hitbox buffed.
• Control: X and F cooldowns reduced and made very close; V damage increased, it no longer shrinks after grabbing a player and doesn't disappear after the move; Z room lasts much longer.
• Dragon: defense slightly increased in transformed form, passive Fury drain greatly reduced, and when transformed, taking damage fills the Fury Meter while reducing all cooldowns.
• Diamond: passive defense increased from 22.5% to 25%.
• Falcon: passive defense increased from 7.5% to 10%.
• Door: C teleportation grants short immunity frames.
• Bisento: price reduced from 1,200,000 to 1,000,000 Beli, and X hitbox in V2 enlarged.
