==General Mechanics Change==
 
==General Mechanics Change==
 +
 +

 +
 +
===Movement Speed===

 +
 +
===Racial Resistances===
 +
*The maximum resistace to race, sub-race, size, boss and/or non-boss is 85%
 +
 +
===Damage Reflect===
 +
* Reflecting damage triggers recalculation of stats.
 +
* Reflect damage will work on boss monsters ONLY if damage to the player (or reflected damage) doesn't kill said player (if damage is less or equal to max HP).
 +
 +
===WOE and Battlegrounds===
 +
* Team members in BG count as party members and guild members at the same time.
 +
* Player sizes are all medium on WoE and BG maps

 +
 +
===Forged Equipment Changes===
 +
* Damage boosted from star crumbs in forged weapons increases from 5 dmg (not atk) to 30 dmg
 +

 +
* Weapons from a ranked forger has 100 bonus damage instead of 10 bonus damage
 +
 +
===Item Changes===
 +
 +
There are too many custom items in heRO and we recommend that you look at our [https://hero-server-db.herokuapp.com/ heRO database] for information. However, here are some changes to pre-renewal items that are different from standard Hercules pre-renewal server.
 +
 +
* In general, 2h swords and 2h axes have their base damage increased to make it more attractive to forego shields in melee monster range
 +
* Crystal Mirror sale price is lowered by 20%. All monsters that drop Crystal Mirrors, except Mavka, have their drop rate of Crystal Mirrors increased by 20%
 +
* Golden Thief Bug card does not block status effects, but blocks status effects inflicted via magical means

==Autospells==
 +
 +
This is not a custom change for heRO but this is a very common game mechanics question- Identical autospell of the same skill and the same level do not stack. Only the highest percent is applied. For example, 2 Injustice Card in the same weapon will do nothing. The 5% chance to autocast Sonic Blow will not add to form 10%. In fact, the 2nd card is completely wasted.
 +
 +
==Item Drop from Gears==
 +
 +
This is not a custom change for heRO but this is a very common game mechanics question- Item drop from gears do not stack. Only the highest chance applies.
 +
 +
==Swordsman Class==
 +
 +
In general, 2 handed swords have their base ATK increased to make it more attractive to forego shields in melee range.

===General Homunculi Changes===
 +
* Homunculus can now critically hit
 +
* Greatly reduce the RNG variation with an auto-reroll system on level up: for each stat that got no gains at all (+0), the game will automatically re-roll the odds to see if you can get a +1 to the stat. While it's possible that you still get a +0 in the end, at least you get a 2nd chance. Note that the reroll does not permit you to get a +2 or a +3 in a stat. This happens automatically whenever you level up. You will see the notification of the system kicking in within your chatbox.
 +
* All Homunculus have their level up stat adjusted. In general, all homunculi is getting a stat buff in EVERY category. You will see the standard deviation to have greatly narrowed (aka: less likely to be screwed by RNG), while retaining the potential high ceiling in almost all cases.

Auto Spell

 +
Change for Auto Spell is extensive.<br>
 +
Automatically cast a magic spell while performing a normal attack. Spells cast through Autospell cost 1/2 of the spell's SP cost. The caster is required to learn the selected spell of Autospell and the max level of the casted spell is limited to to SkillLV of Auto Spell (see below.) The spell can be cast at 2 levels lower (50% chance) and 1 level lower (35% chance) than the maximum castable level. Bolt spells in the description refer to Cold, Fire and Lightning Bolt. Below are the list of possible highest level spells casted for each level of Autospell
 +
* Level 1: lv 3 napalm beat
 +
* Level 2: lv 1 bolt
 +
* Level 3: lv 2 bolt
 +
* Level 4: lv 3 bolt
 +
* Level 5: lv 4 bolt
 +
* Level 6: lv 5 bolt, lv 1 soul strike
 +
* Level 7: lv 6 bolt, lv 2 soul strike
 +
* Level 8: lv 7 bolt, lv 3 soul strike, lv 1 fire ball
 +
* Level 9: lv 8 bolt, lv 4 soul strike, lv 2 fire ball
 +
* Level 10: lv 9 bolt, lv 5 soul strike, lv 3 fire ball, lv 1 frost diver
 +
Sage Link continues to change Auto Spell to 100% chance to cast the maximum level of spells casted.

Latest revision as of 01:20, 21 September 2024

Below are all changes directly to the class skills. Note that heRO also has a lot of custom gears that may interact with skills in different ways, but changes here apply to all players regardless of their gear choices.

There are a lot of recent changes in Oct that's not yet documented. You can read about it here: Oct 9 2023 Changelog

General Mechanics Change

  • Regeneration speed is doubled for players (so that you will regen your HP/SP faster)
  • Wedding clothing does not reduce movement speed.

Movement Speed

  • Movement speed is capped at the value of 50 for both players and monsters

For reference:

  • Normal player moves at speed 150
  • Increase Agi lowers this value by 25
  • Speed Potion lowers this value by 50
  • Frenzy lowers this value by 25
  • Bio3/Bio4 MVP moves at speed 100 if they are not buffed

Defense Limits

  • Def is capped at 95 for players
  • MDef is capped at 100 for players

Racial Resistances

  • The maximum resistace to race, sub-race, size, boss and/or non-boss is 85%

Damage Reflect

  • Reflecting damage triggers recalculation of stats.
  • Reflect damage will work on boss monsters ONLY if damage to the player (or reflected damage) doesn't kill said player (if damage is less or equal to max HP).

WOE and Battlegrounds

  • Team members in BG count as party members and guild members at the same time.
  • Player sizes are all medium on WoE and BG maps
  • Consumables and skill catalysts are not consumed in WoE (but you still need enough items to cast the skill)
  • MVP cards and Ghostring card are banned in WoE

Forged Equipment Changes

  • Damage boosted from star crumbs in forged weapons increases from 5 dmg (not atk) to 30 dmg
  • 3 star crumbs boosted from 40 flat damage (25 higher than normal 3 star crumbs) to 200 dmg, which is 140 higher than 3 star crumbs under the new change
  • Weapons from a ranked forger has 100 bonus damage instead of 10 bonus damage

Item Changes

There are too many custom items in heRO and we recommend that you look at our heRO database for information. However, here are some changes to pre-renewal items that are different from standard Hercules pre-renewal server.

  • In general, 2h swords and 2h axes have their base damage increased to make it more attractive to forego shields in melee monster range
  • Crystal Mirror sale price is lowered by 20%. All monsters that drop Crystal Mirrors, except Mavka, have their drop rate of Crystal Mirrors increased by 20%
  • Golden Thief Bug card does not block status effects, but blocks status effects inflicted via magical means

Status Changes

These are 3rd class status effects which Pre-renewal players may not be familiar with.

Status  Details

Burning

  • Deals fixed (1000 + 3% of MaxHP) damage every 3 seconds. Damage can not be reduced.
  • Reduce 25% MDEF
  • Burning Status now has a minimum duration of 3 seconds instead of 10 seconds.
  • Duration is reduced by AGI, and slightly reduced by LUK
  • Boss monsters are immune to Burning
  • Burning damage is not considered as damage from player (counts as Kill Steal), and as such will reduce the experience given from the monster.
  • If the last hit on a monster is from burning damage, it will not count towards a quest kill count.

Deep Sleep

  • Chat is disabled
  • 2% of maximum HP/SP is recovered each second
  • Damage from the next attack is amplified by 1.5x
  • Duration is reduced by Base Level and INT
  • Deep Sleep now has a minimum duration of 3 seconds instead of 5 seconds.

Frost

  • Reduce movement speed by 30%
  • Reduce attack speed by 30%
  • Reduce Hard Def by 30% (10% on monsters)
  • Duration is reduced by VIT and DEX
  • Frost now has a minimum duration of 3 seconds instead of 6 seconds.

Marsh of Abyss

  • Remove speed boosting skill effects and items
  • Reduce movement speed by 10 to 50%
  • Decrease AGI, DEX and FLEE
  • Marsh of Abyss now has a minimum duration of 3 seconds instead of 5 seconds.

Stasis

  • Similar to silence where it seals usage of certain skills
  • Duration is reduced by VIT and DEX
  • Stasis now has a minimum duration of 3 seconds instead of 5 seconds.

Autospells

This is not a custom change for heRO but this is a very common game mechanics question- Identical autospell of the same skill and the same level do not stack. Only the highest percent is applied. For example, 2 Injustice Card in the same weapon will do nothing. The 5% chance to autocast Sonic Blow will not add to form 10%. In fact, the 2nd card is completely wasted.

Item Drop from Gears

This is not a custom change for heRO but this is a very common game mechanics question- Item drop from gears do not stack. Only the highest chance applies.

  • Duple Light: both its physical and magic portion now scale by 10% per level, starting at 100%
  • Jack Frost: if target is affected by Frosty Misty, then damage is doubled
  • Comet: The 4 damage zone changes by 200/150/100/50% (200 being ground zero) per skill level damage instead of the original scaling
  • Chain Lightning: Base matk follows "standard" heRO formula of 50% per level. Chain Lightning Chain bonus damage is adjusted to [50 × (Max Chain count ? Chains)]% (which is halved from the original formula). If the chaining target of Chain Lightning is above 9, the chain bonus damage is capped as if the chain is at 9
  • Earth Grave: all extra variables for damage calculation, except for Cursed Soil effect, are removed
  • Diamond Dust: all extra variables for damage calculation, except for Cooler effect, are removed

  • Ignition Break: scaling based on damage zone is now 150/100/50, no longer affected by base level. Elemental fire bonus is kept
  • Storm Blast: still scales depending on int, but the constant factor is now 50 instead of 100 (effectively half damage compare to official formula)
  • Phantom Thrust: no longer has level based scaling
  • Arms Cannon: 75% per level for medium, 100% per level for small, 50% per level for large. Skill also no longer has base level scaling
