Warriors!
As the frost tightens its grip on the Snowy Bound, a wind of change sweeps across Arinar! We're rolling out a new update to class skill and talent balance, aimed at making combat more dynamic and expanding the range of tactical choices available to you. These adjustments are based on extensive analysis of thousands of encounters, your feedback, and careful observation of class performance in Arenas, dungeons, and large-scale battles.
As always, we invite you to test these changes on the public test server and share your thoughts. Some skills and talents may be further tuned based on the results.
PvP Status: Version 1.0
Heroes of Arinar, a new era of change begins! We're introducing a dedicated PvP configuration system – a major milestone in combat balance that will make every encounter more intense and engaging. Going forward, all skills and talents will have two distinct power profiles: one for PvE challenges and another specifically for PvP combat.
Update 13.2 introduces the new PvP status mechanic, allowing us to fine-tune PvP balance with even greater precision using your feedback and combat data.
Let's take a closer look at how it works!
PvP Status in a Nutshell
PvP status indicates whether your character is currently considered part of the PvP aspect of the game.
It has two modes: on and off.
Its current state is displayed next to your character's – or your target's – health bar.
Depending on whether PvP status is active, certain skills and talents will use different modifiers.
When PvP status is off, your character takes 80% less damage from the first attack made by a PvP opponent.
Enabling and Disabling PvP Status
PvP status is automatically enabled whenever your character enters one of the following locations or activities:
Arena
Catacombs
GvG events
Cup events
Alliance events
Golden Sands (surface locations of Almahad)
Outposts
Castle sieges
In all other areas, PvP status is disabled by default. If you engage a PvP target – whether another player, a monster summoned by a player, or a PvP monster – PvP status will turn on automatically and remain active for as long as you're fighting at least one such target. After leaving combat, PvP status remains active for an additional 6 seconds before turning off. It also disengages automatically if your character dies. When leaving areas where PvP status is permanently enabled – or when entering or exiting dungeons, attractions, or event instanced territories – PvP status will also switch off automatically.
Developer's Note: We understand that damage-focused classes currently enjoy a smoother experience in PvE activities. They clear solo content quickly and remain valuable in party play, while defensive and support-oriented classes often find themselves limited to more specialized roles. Our goal is to give heroes who traditionally struggle in PvE more room to shine – without disrupting PvP balance and while preserving the flexibility needed for ongoing adjustments.
Looking ahead, we plan to expand the PvP status system and broaden the list of skills and talents that behave differently depending on whether it's active. Future class mechanics and overall game balance will be closely tied to the evolution of this feature.
A full list of the skills and talents affected by this update can be found below.
Standardized Attribute Limits for Summoned Monsters
With Update 13.2, we're introducing the first set of changes to the mechanics governing summoned monsters. From now on, all summoned creatures will share the same maximum attribute caps as player characters.
This change applies to the following skills and talents:
Arcane Phantom (Mage's Guild of Almahad talent)
Elemental Support (Druid's skill)
Water Spirit (Druid's talent, Raging Spring branch)
Dead Soldier (Necromancer's skill)
Undead Army (Necromancer's talent)
Call (Charmer's skill)
Chaotic Assistance (Charmer's skill)
Spawn of Gloom (Charmer's talent, Spawn of Gloom branch)
Particle of Life (Templar's skill)
Relentless Defender (Templar's talent, Stronghold of Faith branch)
Beast Awakening (Beastmaster's skill)
Deadly Illusion (Skill)
Sneer of Fate (Skill)
Developer's Note: In Update 13.2, we are taking the first meaningful step toward updating how summoned monsters function. A key issue with the previous system was that summons could reach significantly higher maximum combat and defensive attributes than the characters who controlled them.
This update marks the beginning of a broader overhaul. In future updates, we plan to expand the range of character attributes inherited by summoned monsters and improve the usability and consistency of set skills that interact with summons. Starting with Update 13.3, we'll also refine how summoned monsters interact with AoE mechanics by including them in player-target limits for area skills. When this change goes live, summoned monsters will have a reduced chance of being selected compared to player targets, and their contribution to the target limit will scale dynamically based on the number of players within the affected area.
Physical Defense Adjustment
Starting with Update 13.2, the Physical Defense values granted by armor will be increased as follows:
Cloth Armor: +~23.5%
Light Armor: +~9.5

Developer's Note: This year, much of our work has been dedicated to reshaping the game's balance in preparation for the new PvP status system. We began with the classes that needed a smoother PvE experience, and now, with the ability to fine-tune skills – and eventually entire mechanics – separately for PvE and PvP, we expect class gameplay to gradually become more consistent and enjoyable across the board.
We also took a closer look at several classes we felt required more substantial attention. These heroes received overhauled skills, updated mechanics, or meaningful power boosts. Along the way, we revisited your feedback to correct long-standing issues and breathe new life into skills and talents that hadn't been seeing much use. Our goal remains unchanged: to make every class feel comfortable and fun to play.
As we move into the public test server phase, we'll be reviewing all updated skills and talents once more – this time together with you. Your active participation is invaluable, and we appreciate every bit of feedback you provide!
See you in the next part of the announcement!
