May 12th Announcements
This one's kind of a doozy.
Trigger Loser
-- 4 players, 30 minutes, no death limit. Dalz Camo supports 9 weapons and are sellable. Trigger has a drop rate similar to Forest Trigger, but you can't get new Triggers from Trigger Loser. Also, the Triggers themselves might be sellable.
Mother/Deus "Phantom Invasion"
-- The S4 tier of SSAs will expand when the Mother/Deus joint raid EQ is added in Summer.
-- You'll have to wait, and see if new 14*s will be added...
Quna's Weapon
-- Quna's Genesis Weapon might become an accessory later on.
Level 90
-- The level cap will raise again to Level 90 later this year. All Classes will recieve new Class Skills with the update, including Hero, who will also get Level 90 later on.
Buster Quest
-- Upcoming plans for BQ include a new Emergency Buster Quest in the vein of Endless Belligerence.
14* Pets
-- All Pets will eventually have a 14* Egg, but Wanda/Jinga, Torim/Aero, and Cery/Popple are first in line.
Dark Rappy
-- Due to positive reception from Aika's Dark Rappy, they're considering adding content based on it, including a Dark Rappy Suit or perhaps even a Pet.
Crest Shop
-- Crest Shop will stay as is for the time being.
Arena
-- Boots, Rifle, and Talis will rotate in in Late June.
Class Feedback/Role/Improvement
SEGA has been going over feedback received from players concerning Class balance and play, especially after the current Pevel Cap update. They will use this data to emphasize the given roles of each individual Class and tailor future updates towards providing content that plays on each Class's strength and fixes their weaknesses.
General Improvements
-- All weapons will get a Double Jump (RIP Jet Boots)
-- All Classes will get a First Blood-type Skill
-- Some Skill Rings will become Charms
Hunter
-- Decently rated among players. Players note Hunter's strong survivability and mobbing power, but dislike the overreliance on Sword Gear and how Sac Bite 0 cancels when you switch weapons.
-- Hunter is a High Durability Class, and SEGA will emphasize this trait by adding content with lots of enemies and/or very strong enemies.
Ranger
-- Decently rated among players. Players note Ranger's support capability with Weak Bullet and the fun of using Rodeo Drive 0, but dislike the clunkiness of Dive Roll, overreliance on Standing Snipe, and how hard it is to fight with Weak Bullet loaded.
-- Ranger is a Support Type All-Rounder, and SEGA will emphasize this trait by adding Quests that have a longer duration.
Force
-- Players are split about Force. Players note the Class's high damage, ease of Compound Tech use, and improvements to mobility Techniques, but dislike its low HP/defense, cost to create Tech Customizations, and its overreliance on Element Conversion.
-- Force is a High Powet Long Distance Attacker. The Force class can be incredibly potent gjven the right situation and planning, so SEGA intends to emphasize its strengths.
Braver
-- Players are satisfied with Braver. Players note the fun of using Katana and buffs to its PAs, as well as improvements to the Braver MAG Skill and improvements to Katana mobility. However, they dislike Bow's comparatively slow mobility, lack of SP to spend, and Bow's overreliance on Divine Raikou.
-- Braver is a Mobile All-Rounder. By using Bullet Bow's strength and Katana's mobility and raw power, Bravers are able to adapt to battlefield situations on the fly, and SEGA intends to capitalize on those strengths.
Bouncer
-- Players are satisfied with Bouncer. Players note their ability to support while fighting simultaneously and the fun of using both Jet Boots and Dual Blades, and like how the weapons are balanced. However, they dislike the clunkiness of Distract Wing, lack of PA variety, and lack of subpalette space.
-- Bouncer is a Ranged Support-Type All-Rounder. Bouncer is capable of a multitude of abilities and functions on the battlefield, and SEGA intends to expand Bouncer's capabilities with new support options that set it apart from Techer and new attack options.
Summoner
-- Players are dissatisfied with Summoner. Players note the ease of use of the class and recent Pet buffs. However, they dislike how difficult and complicated it is to raise new Pets, as well as the clunkiness of certain PAs and how difficult it is to recall your Pet.
-- Summoner is a Multi-Role Pet Master whose battlefield presence changes based on their Pets. Summoner should be able to specialize in multiple categories based on the Pets they are armed with, and SEGA intends to make general improvements to Summoner playstyle to emphasize this, including loosening Pet controls and the Pet raising system, as well as strengthening Pet capabilities and Personalities.
Fighter
-- Players are highly satisfied with Fighter. Players note the Class's high damage output and the thrill of using Limit Break, but dislike the associated risks with the Skill, overabundance of Skill Rings, and lack of mobility for Double Saber.
-- Fighter is a Hugh Power Close-Range Attacker, a high risk, high return that maximizes damage output with Limit Break. SEGA intends to release content that capitalizes on this strength.
Gunner
-- Decently rated by players. Players note the buffs to Grim Barrage and relaxations to the Chain mechanic, as well as Stylish Roll. However, they dislike not having enough SP, the overreliance on Skill Rings and the difficulty of using Grim Barrage after the buffs.
-- Gunner is a Mid-Range High Burst Attacker. SEGA feels that Gunner has strong mobility, evasion, and burst. They intend to release content that emphasizes Gunner's strength as a mid-range fighter.
Techer
--Decently rated by players. Players note its support capability and strong normal attacks, with good Subclass compatibility. However, they dislike the short range of Support Techs, the difficulty in choosing what Skills to spec into, and how one-note Wand whacking is.
-- Techer is a Support-Based Close-Ranged Attacker. Techer's strength lies in its ability to support party members and the ability to still do damage even with Wand. SEGA intends to emphasize Techer's combat capabilities by improving its prowess in battle, which in turn gives it greater support ability.
Hero
-- Players are highly satisfied with Hero. Players note its high power and mobility, and are big fans of its high attack speed and the Spirit Blast. However, they dislike the Hero unlock requirements, large differences in each weapon's performance, and its low defense.
-- Hero is a Simple All-Purpose Class. SEGA intends to emphasize evasion by granting bonuses for evading damage, as well as looking into ways to boost gear accumulation for switching weapons.
