Summoners War: Chronicles

Hello, this is Summoners War: Chronicles PD Eun-jae Lee.

Please read below for the update schedule and details planned for May.

The updates will proceed every 2 weeks in May on the 2nd, 16th and 30th.

First, let’s talk about the update to be released on May 2nd.

New Guild Rivals will be added.

It's real-time PvP content for the top 16 Guilds in the Siege Battle for each region.

Up to 25 members can participate per Guild and the Guild Master is able to designate the members to participate in advance. 25 members and more can be designated to participate but only 25 members can actually participate.

The battle rule will be similar to the flag siege battle held in the Battlefield Sky Waterfall Island and the Guild that maintains a higher score within the designated period will win.

Users will be able to get a seasonal title (official season only), Crystals, etc. as the reward.

Preseason will be held for 2 weeks for stability purposes, and it’ll be held every Saturday in the afternoon. 

During the preseason, the 16 Guilds will participate in the match every Saturday for 2 weeks, but the match will be held bi-weekly to control the stress related to real-time battles when the official season begins in the future.

The Siege Battle method will be changed.

The current method of 3 Guilds battling against each other will be maintained, and a new method where 2 Guilds battle against each other will be added to be held alternately by week.

A new 5★ Monster, Sword Spirit will be added.

The Fire Knight type is able to remove the target’s beneficial effects, grant Unrevivable, Provoke, Blind, recover HP, and increase DEF. 

The Water Warrior type is able to remove the target’s beneficial effects, grant Freeze, grant Frostbite and explode Frostbite on frozen targets in the Arena and Siege Battle, remove all beneficial effects within the range when lethal DMG is received and activate Freeze, and uses Endure. 

The Wind Knight type is able to remove the target’s beneficial effects, decrease CRIT Rate, recover HP, grant Immunity, and increase CRIT RES. 

The Light Archer type is able to drain when weak point DMG is dealt including the basic attack, steal beneficial effects, grant Recovery DOWN, Unrecoverable, ATK UP, and Continuous Recovery. 

The Dark Assassin type is able to ignore death denial effects, increase CRIT DMG, grant Fear, and remove beneficial effects. The Monster can also cast Unrevivable on itself in the Arena and Siege Battle but removes all beneficial effects of the enemy target when defeated, and is able to grant Block Beneficial Effect, Unrevivable, and deal quite a bit of fixed DMG.

A new function to connect equipment enhancement level will be added.

You’ll be able to connect 1 equipment per equipment slot. The target equipment must have a lower rarity, star grade and enhancement level compared to the standard equipment to use the connection and the equipment enhancement level will become the same when connected. (Sub property grades can’t be connected.)

New Transmogs will be added for the Desert Queen, Joker, and Nine-tailed Fox. The Nine-tailed Fox Transmog can be acquired from an event.

The official season will begin for the World Challenge Arena.

The normal Challenge Arena and the World Challenge Arena will be integrated to be held, but the server ranking, and the world ranking will be displayed separately and rewards will also be provided separately.

The number of currently matched users will be displayed when matching for the Battlefield and Raid.

You’ll be able to select the Elite Raid difficulty (easier than it is currently), and quick battles will be supported.

The HP of the bosses in the normal battle and rank battle will be decreased as we’ve concluded that the play time for the Hero Raid is too long. Please keep this in mind when you participate in the rank battle of the week.

The jump judgment will be eased in the Mythic Raid.

Next, let’s talk about the update planned for May 16th.

A new Light and Dark Monster Pickup will be held with Light Desert Queen and Dark Dragon Knight.

A Legendary Artifact will be added for the Magic Knight.

Skill balancing will be adjusted for the following Monsters.

Chakram Dancer and Boomerang Warrior of all five attributes 

Fire Monkey King

Dark Phoenix, Desert Queen

Skill balancing will be adjusted for Summoners.

The PvP and PvE skills will be buffed for Soleta and Heath. Cleaf’s tanking ability will also be buffed. Orbia’s survivability will be slightly nerfed.

The Summoner’s Given Recovery Amount will be decreased overall in the Arena and Siege Battle.

2 new stories will be added to Joshua's Bookshelf.

New Summoner Outfit will be added.

The effect of the Vampire Rune will be buffed.

The effect of dishes and potions will be buffed.

The Summoner Transcendence System will be removed.

The system existed in order to increase the MAX level limit of the Summoner, but the system has no meaning right now and changes will be made so that you can level up up to Lv. 90 without any added procedures.

All materials that were used for Transcendence will be refunded.

A new season will begin for the Hero Raid. 2 new Mythic Accessories will be added.

Next, let’s talk about the update planned for May 30th.

New personal Hideout provided per account will be added.

The Hideout will begin with the size of 20x20 and the size can be expanded up to 50x50 according to the Hideout level.

The EXP for the Hideout level can be acquired through construction and production.

You’ll be able to construct decorations such as trees and fences, along with boss statues that can be acquired from gameplay. You can also display your Rep Rune and Monsters.

You’ll be able to construct logging areas, sawmills, and mines to produce various resources.

A new 5★ Monster, Metaclone will be added.

Metaclone will have unique skills of its own but you’ll be able to clone skills of the Collab Monsters such as the <The Advanced Player of the Tutorial Tower Monsters> and <One Punch Man Monsters>. (The addition of the Slayers Monsters hasn’t been decided.)

Please wait for the future update note for details on the Metaclone skills since they’re currently under development.

The Replay Function will be added to the Brawl Arena. You’ll be able to enjoy the moment of victory with the Replay Function and analyze the situation in detail.

A new season will begin for the World Boss.

Modifications will be made so that you can defeat the boss with a simpler strategy based on tanking, dealing, and healing.

A new function to change the name of the Wish Rune will be added.

That’s all for the updates that are coming in May. Please note that the details are subject to change.

A new continent, Lapisdor, will be added in June and we’ll continue to add convenience improvements.

We’ll do our best to provide updates that will bring joy to all Summoners.

Thanks!
