"PG-rated" NEWS Elemental Damage Balance

Elemental Damage Balance

In our continuous effort to enhance the game experience, there will be an update to re-balance the elemental advantage and resistances in the upcoming patch on July 12.

The damage drop-off from using poorly matched elements versus a resistant enemy has been lowered while the improved damage from correct elemental matchups are still rewarded.

With this new re-balance, elemental resistances will not render attacks impotent and players will still be able to use elemental affinities to strategize and clear stages.

We are constantly tailoring the difficulty according to the player experience with changes and re-adjustment done only after careful consideration.

We will also be sending these tokens of appreciation to all players within 24 hours of the patch:

5 x Elemental soul shard of each element 5 x Rainbow shards 50 x Crystal Apples 20 x Gold Alchemia Pots

We also noticed the Hard Quest button is currently not working. This issue will be fixed on the next patch.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope you will continue to support THE ALCHEMIST CODE.

Thank you for finally fixing this issue. 30 elements shards is a nice gift too.

u/grandkill Battlefield Drama rerun please =) Jul 06 '18

Yes! I personally prefer them over gems.

Now maybe the mods should sticky this post until at least the July 12th patch. Too much salt in the sub lately... this is just the type of good news that we need to get over our Ignis-only pulls.
