Floor Changes:

In the aftermath of the recent Event Bosses, the corruption that had wracked Floor 13 was halted and life has started to adjust in response. As such, Floor 13 has new quests and has been revamped. Look for its Floor Description in this thread. A quest has also been added to the Floor. 

Parry (Clarification):

• Under the current wording, Parry's effect lasts until the user is hit with a successful attack. The energy is spent when the Parry skill is used and the cooldown starts when the effect is procced.

General Rule Changes:

• SP Refunding Rules have been revamped:
  • Mods no longer count towards the monthly SP limit. (You still need to pay 1,000 Col per SP you refund)
  • You must refund SP used in Unique Skills (until then, you cannot use that chunk of SP).

Skill Changes:

• Hiding:
  • Removed Rank 3 base damage upgrade (Rank 5 instead gives +1 DMG when attacking from stealth)
  • Mod: Vanish
    • Now costs 5 Energy.
• Block:
  • New Rank 1 Mod: Mark
    • Cost: 8 SP
    • Active: Post Action
    • Cooldown: 2 Turns
    • Cost: 5 Energy
    • Effect: Effect: Roll a BD and add 2. The target’s next raw attack roll must meet or exceed the result or target the user [of mark] instead of their intended target [of the attack]. For AoE attacks, this applies to all rolls of that attack (attacks are still treated separately for the usage of MIT, Thorns, etc.). The target attacking someone besides the user will also consume the mark. You cannot have a mark and parry active at the same time. The mark will be removed if the target enters stealth (this skill has no cooldown if mark is removed due to target entering stealth).
    • Description: You mark an enemy, and are kept aware of what their movements are so as to stop them from reaching their targets
• Parry
  • Changed cooldown to 2 turns, from 1 turn.
