Hello. This is Brown Dust 2.
We have decided to change the skill information for the costume The Gluttonous Refithea scheduled to be picked up after May 1st maintenance (UTC), as announced in the update notice on April 30th, and we will inform you of the related information.
The development team had a long discussion about the buff to increase critical damage, and we also did our best to verify the balance issues that users were concerned about.
Let me explain why we set the critical damage figure of 190%:
First, the actual damage increase is not high compared to other buffers that enhance attack/magic power.
Second, other than Fiend Hunter content, there are limitations in having to rely on fatality probability.
Third, due to the scope conditions, more strategic consideration must be given when utilizing it.
We conducted a test taking the above factors into consideration.
As a result of the test, considering the fun of the new strategy brought by the critical damage increase buff and the fun of deck setting that can utilize various buffers, we decided to release it with the information announced in the notice.
However, after the release of the patch notes, additional tests showed that, firstly, the value of existing equipment could change significantly with the appearance of the critical damage increase buff, and second, the coefficient of the critical damage increase buff may be felt to be excessive compared to the development team's intention. Recognizing that we had not sufficiently considered these two issues, we conducted an internal review once again.
In particular, the first issue was judged to be of high importance as it could cause discomfort to users who have been passionate about the game and have made gears, so discussions were held on the need for an urgent fix.

As a result of the review, we would like to revise the concept to strengthen the role of ally defense by adjusting the critical damage value, SP consumption, and damage reduction value.
In addition, along with editing the skill information, we will also disclose the potential information of the costume to avoid confusion about the skill information.
For more information on the changed skill information and potential of the The Gluttonous Refithea costume, please refer to the information below.

We are well aware that adjusting costume performance after the patch notes are released will cause great confusion to users.
We sincerely apologize for causing any inconvenience again following the Comeback idol Yuri costume.
From now on, we will look more closely at the balance of skills as well as whether there will be any additional inconveniences that users may experience due to the introduction of new skills.
Through this opportunity, we plan to disclose potential information in future patch notes so that you can transparently understand character's performance.
Also, we ask for your understanding for not being able to provide you with the May developer notes quickly.
It will be released this Friday, May 3rd, so please wait a little while.
Brown Dust 2 will continue to strive for the enjoyment of our users.
Thank you.
