Good day Infinitians!

We are thrilled to unveil the latest balancing updates for our PvP between classes! With the invaluable support of Haku and Venci, and the fresh perspectives brought by our new staff members, including myself, we’ve worked tirelessly to enhance the gameplay experience. Our goal is to create a more balanced and engaging environment that ensures everyone can enjoy fair and competitive matches.

🔰Balancing Overview

Balancing is essential to ensure a fair and exciting gameplay experience for all players. It helps maintain a competitive environment where each class has its strengths and weaknesses, preventing any single class from becoming overwhelmingly dominant. The recent changes are designed to achieve this balance by adjusting the damage rates between classes.

Interpreting the Changes:
  • Boosted (+): When a class is boosted, it means we’ve enhanced its performance to make it even more effective against certain opponents. For example, if the Fairy Elf (FE) is boosted against the Dark Knight (DK), it will excel more in those matchups, giving you an edge in battle.
  • Nerfed (-): When a class is nerfed, it means we’ve made adjustments to ensure a more balanced gameplay experience. For instance, if the Dark Wizard (DW) is nerfed against the Dark Lord (DL), it means we’ve fine-tuned its effectiveness to maintain fair competition and keep the gameplay exciting for everyone.
  • If you don't see the class listed in the table, it means there have been no recent changes to that class for PvP or it is still under review

🔆Understanding the Balancing

These changes are designed to balance the competition and encourage more strategic gameplay between classes.

⚔️ Dark Wizard (DW) ⚔️

The Dark Wizard has been strengthened against certain classes, making it a more formidable opponent. The increased power against Summoner (SU) and other casters makes the Dark Wizard a stronger force in battles where wizardy damage is key. However, against Dark Lord (DL) and Rage Fighter (RF), Dark Wizard’s power has been reduced to ensure that its powerful magical skills do not dominate all matchups. This adjustment encourages Dark Wizards players to be more tactical, using their skills wisely.

⚔️ Summoner (SU) ⚔️

The Summoner has received some adjustments to ensure a balanced PvP experience, especially in matchups against powerful classes like Dark Knight (DK) and Fairy Elf (FE). These changes help to balance the Summoner's strong debuff skills, which can significantly influence battles. While the Summoner’s effectiveness against these classes has been fine-tuned, they continue to be competitive, with a slight boost in their performance against Dark Wizard (DW). Overall, these updates aim to maintain fairness and ensure that all classes can shine in their own unique ways in PvP battles.

⚔️ Dark Knight (DK) ⚔️

The Dark Knight has been enhanced with increased damage against classes like Fairy Elf (FE) and others, making them a more formidable choice in combat. These updates boost the Dark Knight's effectiveness, especially in areas where they previously faced challenges. As a result, DKs are now even more reliable and powerful in PvP, particularly in melee combat. With these improvements, the Dark Knight stands out as a versatile and strong class, offering players a robust and dynamic option for their PvP strategies.

⚔️ Fairy Elf (FE) ⚔️

Fairy Elves have seen considerable boosts, especially against classes like Dark Knight (DK) and Rage Fighter (RF). This makes Fairy Elves players more powerful and efficient, especially in ranged combat situations. The boost allows FEs to deal more damage from a distance, making them an even greater threat to melee classes. However, there are minor reductions in power in other areas to keep the Elf from becoming too dominant, ensuring that their strengths are balanced by weaknesses against some opponents.

⚔️ Dark Lord (DL) ⚔️

Dark Lord has seen substantial improvements, making them more capable of handling Dark Wizard (DW), Dark Knight (DK), and Fairy Elf (FE). These boosts solidify DL’s role as a versatile and powerful class. The balancing enhances DL’s ability to stand strong in dealing direct damage. This adjustment ensures that the Dark Lord can hold their own in multiple PvP situations, increasing their versatility.

⚔️ Rage Fighter (RF) ⚔️

Rage Fighter has been boosted in most matchups, making them more competitive in close-range combat. They’ve seen improvements against Dark Wizard (DW), Dark Knight (DK), and other melee classes. These changes empower RF players to better compete with high-damage and high-defense classes. With these adjustments, Rage Fighters can now perform better in intense PvP battles, providing more balanced gameplay across the board.


Testing and Implementation
Please don’t be concerned by the high +/- values in the balancing changes. These figures are meant to improve overall balance and do not imply that any class is now overpowered or excessively enhanced. These adjustments are crucial for refining gameplay and maintaining fairness across all classes.

Our testing has covered a range of scenarios, including top-tier gears, full options accessories, wings, errtels, and pentagrams, to replicate various conditions and ensure precise balance. You might observe elevated defense and damage levels during these tests as we strive to create a more balanced PvP environment.

While we understand that we may not have achieved perfect balance just yet, our commitment is to continuously improve and provide you with the best PvP experience possible. As the number one MU Online PvP server, it’s our culture to deliver top-notch gameplay that is both thrilling and fair. Your feedback is vital as we strive to serve you the best we can!

Thank you for your support and happy gaming!
