PET Bonus stat display has been replaced by Extra Stats.

⚠ IMPORTANT: Pets will still grant the owner their current bonuses.

Part 1 — Character Stats

New Stats Overview

Extra Stats

Extra Stats consists of:

  • 1. Poison
  • 2. Paralysis
  • 3. Confusion
  • 4. Critical Probability (Crit Prob) %
  • 5. Damage Absorb (Absorb) %
  • 6. Critical Damage (Crit Dmg) %

1. Poison

Poison indicates a character's Poison damage.

For each 10 Poison attack, the duration of Poison debuffs increases by 1 second.

2. Paralysis

Paralysis indicates a character's Paralysis damage.

For each 100 Paralysis attack, the duration of Paralysis debuffs increases by 1 second.

3. Confusion

Confusion indicates a character's Confusion damage.

For each 75 Confusion attack, the duration of Confusion debuffs increases by 1 second.

These stats can be obtained by upgrading weapons with regular Poison, Paralysis, or Confusion crystals. They can also be obtained via sockets.

4. Critical Probability

Critical Probability refers to a character's chance to deal critical damage. It applies both in PvE and PvP.

Definition: Your chance to land a critical hit on every attack.

Example: A displayed 5% Critical Chance means you have a 5% chance to crit each hit.

Critical Probability Example

As you can see, most rare weapons have a [Probability] stat bonus of 8%, meaning those weapons have an 8% chance of dealing critical damage.

5. Damage Absorb

Absorb refers to a character's ability to negate incoming damage from monsters. It does not work in PvP.

Definition: Reduces incoming damage from monsters based on your base DEX stat.

Applies to both physical and skill attacks from monsters.

Note: Only base DEX counts — buffs do NOT increase this stat.

Formula: TBA — Capped at: TBA

6. Critical Damage

Critical Damage refers to the character's extra damage when landing a critical hit. It applies both in PvE and PvP.

Definition: The bonus damage multiplier applied when you land a critical hit.

Example: 50% Critical Damage means your crits deal +50% extra damage vs mobs, or +50% vs players.

Critical Damage Example

As you can see, most rare weapons have a wide range of [Critical Damage] stat bonus %. When you deal a critical hit, your damage will be increased by that percentage plus any other percentage bonuses.

Part 2 — Armor Stats and Essences

Armor Damage Reduction

Armor Damage Reduction
  • Damage Reduction — represents the percentage (%) of damage negated from monsters
  • Probability — represents the percentage (%) of Damage Reduction activation

⚠ These stack. If you have a set of 4 armor parts each with 25% Damage Reduction and 3% Probability, your final totals will be 100% Damage Reduction and 12% Probability to activate it.

Critical Essences

Critical Essences

These are items that temporarily increase a character's Critical Probability and Critical Damage stats. They are split into two tiers:

  • Level 1–100
  • Level 101–200

Level 1–100: Obtained by dismantling Draconian & Master Draconian weapons. Afterwards, craft the box via Production → Auxiliary Crafting Quest.

Level 101–200: Obtained by dismantling Harmony & Hydrangea weapons. Afterwards, craft the box via Production → Auxiliary Crafting Quest.

Part 3 — Elemental Stat System

Last Updated: 22 Feb 2026

What Are Elemental Stats?

Starting at level 101, you gain Nature Points that can be invested in three elemental stats: Wind, Water, and Fire.

These stats work alongside your base stats (STR, DEX, INT) to enhance your character's power in different ways.

Max Nature Points: Level 101-200 grants 550 nature points total. You can distribute these points however you want between Wind, Water, and Fire.

Game Terminology

  • ATK (Attack) — Normal melee attack damage
  • ArtsATK (Arts Attack) — Skill damage
  • DEF (Defense) — Defense against melee attacks
  • ArtsDEF (Arts Defense) — Defense against skills
  • Attack Speed — How fast you attack
  • Absorb Rate — Absorbed damage from monsters

Old System (Before 22 Feb 2026)

In the old system, all three elementals contributed to everything:

Wind (Old System):

  • +2 DEF per point
  • +1 ArtsDEF per point
  • +1 ATK per point

Water (Old System):

  • +1 DEF per point
  • +2 ArtsDEF per point
  • +1 ATK per point
  • +0.1 Absorb Rate per point

Fire (Old System):

  • +1 DEF per point
  • +1 ArtsDEF per point
  • +2 ATK per point

Problems with Old System: All stats did similar things (confusing), no clear specialization, every build felt the same, hard to make meaningful choices.

New System (22 Feb 2026 Update)

Each elemental now has a clear, specialized role:

Wind - Arts Attack & Health

  • +91 HP per point
  • +3 Arts Attack per point

Example: 200 Wind = +47,000 HP and +600 ATK (scalable)

Water — Defense & Critical

  • +4 DEF per point (defense against melee)
  • +1 Critical Rate per 20 points (+0.05 per point)
  • +1% Absorb Rate per 20 points (+0.05% per point)
  • Works with DEX for defense calculations

Example: 200 Water = +800 DEF(scalable), +1% Critical Damage, +10% Absorb Rate

Fire — Skill Damage & Chi

  • +57 CHI per point
  • +4 ArtsDEF per point (defense against skills)

Example: 200 Fire = +11,400 CHI and +800 ArtsDEF(scalable)

Comparison: Old vs. New

  • Wind: Old: Small bonuses to everything → New: +235 HP, +3 ATK
  • Water: Old: Small bonuses to everything → New: +4 DEF, Critical & Absorb Rate
  • Fire: Old: Small bonuses to everything → New: +57 CHI, +4 ArtsDEF

Attack Speed Explained

Attack Speed determines how fast you attack.

What Grants Attack Speed: Dexterity (DEX) increases attack speed.

Absorb Rate (Damage Reduction) Explained

Absorb Rate is your damage reduction percentage. Note: Only true stats count, not buff stats.

How to increase: Add points to Dex or Water

Examples:

  • 100 DEX + 100 Water = 10% absorb
  • 500 DEX + 300 Water = 40% absorb

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I have high Wind AND high Water AND high Fire?

A: Technically yes, but you'll be mediocre at everything. Better to specialize.

Q: What's the best elemental stat?

A: There is no "best" - it depends on your class, playstyle, and what you want to do. Wind for melee/HP, Water for defense, Fire for CHI/skills.

Q: I'm level 50, why can't I use elemental stats?

A: Elemental stats unlock at level 101. Focus on STR, DEX, INT builds until then.

Q: Can I reset my elemental stats?

A: Yes, you can reset your stats using an [Affliction Pill] from Dynasty Store in Dragon Castle.

Q: Why does my friend's build have different numbers than mine?

A: Honor titles, rebirths, and items all add bonus stats. Two characters with the same base stats can have very different final stats.

Q: Should I put all my points in one elemental stat?

A: Only if you want to be a pure specialist. Most players benefit from a 2:1 split (e.g., 300 Wind, 150 Water, 100 Fire).

Q: What's the difference between ATK and ArtsATK?

A: ATK is your normal melee attack damage. ArtsATK is your skill damage. They are completely separate stats.

Q: What's the difference between DEF and ArtsDEF?

A: DEF protects you from melee attacks. ArtsDEF protects you from skills. You need both for complete defense.

Q: What's Absorb Rate?

A: Absorb Rate is damage reduction. If you have 30% absorb rate, you take 30% less damage from all sources. It's calculated from DEX + Water.

Tips for New Players

  1. Don't worry about elemental stats until level 101 — Focus on learning your class and leveling up first.
  2. Start with a balanced build (180/180/190) — This lets you try everything before committing to a specialization.
  3. Pay attention to how often you die — Dying a lot? Invest in Water (defense) or Wind (HP). Not dying? You can focus more on offense.
  4. Stats can be reset! — Don't be afraid to experiment. You can always reset and try something new.
  5. Ask experienced players — Join a guild and ask what works for your class and playstyle.

Final Thoughts

Choose what fits YOUR playstyle, not what someone else tells you is "best." The best build is the one that makes the game fun for YOU. Good luck, and have fun experimenting!

Charm of 8 Trigrams (D)

16th October 2025 Live

Special Upgrade Charm

The Charm of 8 Trigrams (D) is a powerful upgrade tool that provides guaranteed +6 upgrade levels with randomized stone qualities for each level.

This special charm offers an accelerated path to power for Heroes working with discriminated equipment.

Availability

Purchase Location: Available at Dynasty Merchant for 10 billion gold.

Video Demonstration

Watch the charm in action:

Item Compatibility

This charm ONLY works with DISCRIMINATED items:

Compatible Armor:

  • Master Black Dragon Armors (Crafted and discriminated)
  • Jiguk (Drop in Non-Divine Four Kings River)
  • Lunatic (Drop in Divine Four Kings River)
  • All other subsequent discriminated armors

Compatible Weapons:

  • Master Black Dragon Weapons (Crafted and discriminated)
  • Master Draconian Weapons (Crafted and discriminated)
  • Sinister Dragon Weapons (Drop in Frozen Desert)
  • Damaged Draconian Weapons (Drop in Tiger Castle)
  • All other subsequent discriminated weapons

Important: Does NOT work on accessories. Item must have discrimination stats to be eligible.

How It Works

  • Adds exactly +6 levels to your item (guaranteed)
  • 50% success rate for the upgrade attempt
  • Each of the 6 upgrade levels uses a randomly selected stone quality
  • Only works with HIGH upgrade stones
  • Compatible stones: Crystal Soul Stone (Armor), Emerald Jadeite Soul Stone (Armor), Opal Soul Stone (Weapon), Garnet Soul Stone (Weapon)

Stone Quality Distribution

The charm randomly selects between Medium, Large, and High quality stones based on luck tiers:

Luck Tier Chance Medium Large High
CURSED 25% 75% 20% 5%
Medium-Heavy 25% 60% 30% 10%
Balanced 20% 45% 40% 15%
Large-Focused 15% 30% 55% 15%
High-Blessed 8% 25% 45% 30%
High-Biased 5% 20% 35% 45%
GODLY 2% 10% 25% 65%

Usage Tips & Strategy

  • Best used on discriminated items that are +7 or lower to get the maximum +6 benefit
  • Prioritize using on your main armor set or primary weapons
  • Perfect for upgrading hard-to-obtain discriminated equipment
  • Remember: Only discriminated items work - check your equipment has discrimination stats before using
  • Available at Dynasty Merchant for 10 billion gold - plan your investment carefully

Risk Warning:

High-Risk, High-Reward: Consider your risk tolerance carefully - 50% success rate means you could lose both the charm and the item if the upgrade fails. The randomized stone qualities mean your final stats will vary significantly between uses. This is a high-risk, high-reward tool that could give you mostly medium stones or hit the jackpot with mostly high stones.
