Summoners War: Chronicles

Hello, this is Eun-jae Lee, the chief producer of Summoners War: Chronicles.

I would like to inform you of the update planned for the remainder of this month and early September.

This week's update will be held on Aug. 30th (Wed) instead of Aug. 31st (Thu).

The update brings a new 5★ Monster, Paladin.

Fire Paladin recovers the target's HP and pulls enemies within the area to root and apply Block Harmful Effect Removal. In addition, it removes harmful effects and applies DEF UP to allies. It recovers its HP every time a Monster successfully applies a DoT effect.

Water Paladin removes the target's beneficial effect and applies Provoke, granting a Shield to itself based on the damage dealt. It removes all its harmful effects and counterattacks upon receiving an attack. In addition, it removes harmful effects from allies and grants a Shield. When its Shield disappears, it recovers the HP of team members by a certain amount. When an enemy or allied Monster uses Mana Regen SPD UP/DOWN or gain/lose Mana, it removes all beneficial effects on the target Summoner, increasing the mana cost and dealing fixed damage based on the HP.

Wind Paladin removes harmful effects from allies and grants Invincibility to team members. It also provokes the enemy, recovering its HP and applying Shield to allies. It takes less damage based on its Evasion and applies Spell Shield to itself when an attack is evaded. It also applies ATK UP when recovering the team in Raid.

Light Paladin provokes the enemy and grants Invincibility to itself. It applies DEF UP and Invincibility to the target with the lowest HP. It removes harmful effects from allies, recovering the destroyed HP of team members and providing HP recovery.

Dark Paladin grants recovery and DEF UP to the target with the lowest HP and deals bonus damage to the enemy based on the recovery amount. It applies Unrecoverable and Provoke to the target and grants a Shield to itself when hit by an enemy skill, dealing increased damage when shielded. In addition, it applies DEF UP to team members if it doesn't have DEF UP when it receives ATK UP and applies ATK UP to team members if it doesn't have ATK UP when it receives DEF UP.
Monster's Pleasant Vacation Event where you can obtain 5★ Fire Sky Dancer and Epikion Priest's transmogrifications will also be held.

We are also preparing an event where you can earn rewards based on the Hero Area quest progress.
