Infinite Borders - Eastern Warfare Strategy Game

Greetings, mighty Lords!

Under the scorching sun, the roar of battle shakes the earth. Soldiers stand in shining armor as the last line of defense. Only the victor will have his legacy told for generations to come. The maintenance on June 25 will introduce a series of battle balance adjustments:

  　[General Charges, Ever Triumphant]

1. [5★·Wei·Cheng Yu]Main Stratagem "Assess the Situation and Plan"

Over the past year, we observed that the introduction of [5★ - Wei - Cheng Yu] has significantly increased the the lineup possibilities for everyone. However, Cheng Yu's resistance has proven too overpowering, especially against Heroes that rely on DOT damage. As a result, we will be making the following adjustments:

Original Effect (Lv.1→Lv.10)

After battle begins, before a special debuff is applied on all enemies, Cheng Yu has a 25.0%→50.0% chance to increase all damage they take this turn by 15.0%→30.0% (affected by Ingenuity) and recover a certain amount of Strength for your single unit (Recovery Rate: 32.5%→65.0%, affected by Ingenuity); when a debuff is applied to all of your troops, there is a 25.0%→50.0% chance to resist that debuff such that it will not be inflicted.

Effect after Adjustment (Lv.1→Lv.10)

After battle begins, before a special debuff is applied to all enemies, Cheng Yu has a 25.0%→50.0% chance to increase all damage they take this turn by 15.0%→30.0% (affected by Ingenuity) and recover a certain amount of Strength for your single unit (Recovery Rate: 32.5%→65.0%, affected by Ingenuity). After battle begins, when Provoke,  Besiege or Control is applied to all of your troops, there is a 25.0%→50.0% chance to resist that debuff such that it will not be inflicted.

Additionally, with this adjustment, the resistance effect of "Assess the Situation and Plan" will no longer take effect after Cheng Yu suffers a serious injury.

2. [5★·Qun·Ju Shou]Main Stratagem "Gradual Advance"

Original Effect (Lv.1→Lv.10)

During each turn in battle, after the enemy group that has already taken action suffers damage, Ju Shou reduces the target Attack, Defense, Ingenuity, and SPD by 8→16 (affected by Ingenuity), which is stackable until the end of the battle.

Effect after Adjustment (Lv.1→Lv.10)
