September 16th - Update Review

16 Sept

Written By JJ

This is a series of opinions from myself regarding the most recent Game Update (16th September 2026)

In this update we got 2 things I would like to speak more about, 3 new Treasures and of course Class Ascension

(There was more things but nothing worth reviewing)

Set: Ode To Grace
Treasures: Fuxi’s Zither | Thousand-Wind Parasol | Mystic Fan

Set Review
Overall its good stats again as normal.
The interesting thing for me is the Mystic Fans Basic Effect ‘Increased Soul Trial Daily Rewards’

This starts at 5% and goes up to 25%

I really like these ones, like the Banner of Command with its Sacred Tree Trials boosts. Even if they aren’t giant increases it’s a nice way to gain some more resources
I hope the continue to make these

It also seems that once again NONE of these treasures can be obtained in the regular pool. They all seem to be locked to events (Unsure if any can be unlocked with Shards), it makes things interesting but for the average player who can’t score high I find it a bit unfair

Class Ascension

Okay… I am a little bit disappointed - I have been aware of this feature for 1-2 months with it going to other regions, so some of my opinions were already formed
Though I have had some dissatisfaction once getting to test stuff a little

Personally, it seems like a waste of an opportunity

Positive
I am definitely seeing conversations of changes to how classes are played springing up which I find great, a change is always refreshing

We get to use presets and have different fusions for different builds… LOVE IT

Some of the Fusions and Passives give some great opportunities for balance and changes

So I think it was made well, it is smooth, looks good and there is 4 parts to it. It is the foundation for a good update

Negative
For the Fusions some are specifically horrific. For example, Beastmasters one is Pal Crit and Pal Ignore, well other than Beastmaster and Supreme Spirit (who can’t choose it) this is useless, and without those classes Pal related boosts no one will choose this, the same can be said for Darklord
Plume and Martial Sage are similar but there is actually builds to advantage these so I will let it slide

Some of the Passives were also horrific, for example Prophet… it isn’t just that they don’t rely/use on Batk DMG and Crit but that Batk DMG is just a USELESS stat!
Additionally the Beastmaster passive was just made wrong! it was made as “Lost HP” making it practically useless, if it was made as Max HP then it wouldn’t be op but it would allow BM to change up their builds and experiment a bit!

The Ultimates… Shock Ultimate reduces your opponents Batk DMG Res, but this not a used stat and provides no benefits… so this Ultimate is just pointless!

With features like this they cannot really add new Fusions and it is very rare that they would update the current ones. So I am left seeing some of these effects as purposeful wastes of space where the only result is people not playing the class anymore

Conclusion
I like the idea. The execution seems to have been rushed, not exactly thought through, and frankly shows a lack of awareness to the state of their own game. I hope that in future patches they do take steps to better balance here and maybe even add more options in
A big thing I think could 'help’ would be allowing one to fuse with their partner class (if not even their own class), as a Necro might quite like the Pal Crit from Beastmaster and a Prophet may quite like the extra Skill buffs from Dark Lord

I am still happy that we got an update like this, I just hope good feedback is provided back to the Devs and changes are made!
