God Pass and Lesser Blessings We made significant adjustments to the game's progression in DKO:
- We adjusted the god pass XP requirements so that players progress faster within the track, unlocking the gameplay progression earlier. We’re lowering the total Experience requirements in the God Pass by roughly 30%.
- Divine Traits and Greater Blessings have been moved earlier in the god pass progression track
- Lesser Blessings have been removed from the game. It will allow us to create more and more interesting traits for characters in the future. More info on that very soon.
More information on this change are available in a full blog post posted here.
b>New Feature: Map Rotation Every 2 weeks there will be map rotations on the 3v3, 2v2 and 1v1 Queues. Please find the first map rotations listed below and keep in mind that we will share future map rotations on our social media channels!
God's Balance
Amaterasu
Amaterasu's Divine Trait Switching Strike was hampered because it was causing an increase of power and unbalanced situations. We wanted to develop a new talent that would replace Switching Strike, resurrecting three selectable Divine Traits on Amaterasu.
- Switching Strike has been replaced by a new talent called Blade Edge.
- Blade Edge: The attack after Uppercut grants 10% Ultimate Charge if it is an Air Light (2nd hit) or reduces all cooldowns by 2s if it is Air Heavy.
- Blade Edge: The attack after Uppercut grants 10% Ultimate Charge if it is an Air Light (2nd hit) or reduces all cooldowns by 2s if it is Air Heavy.
- Blade Edge: The attack after Uppercut grants 10% Ultimate Charge if it is an Air Light (2nd hit) or reduces all cooldowns by 2s if it is Air Heavy.
King Arthur is the author of numerous works of art.
The ability 2 projectile is easier to avoid than the other projectiles in the game.
- Updated tracking, warping, and hitbox size of all the attacks.
- Increased projectile speed of Soaring Edge by 20% to increase skill check.
Loki
Loki has seen a wonderful god release, but we need to modify him in this patch. Because the ability to stealth was obtained too quickly, we wanted to keep his abilities and talents interesting. We also altered the Ultimate, since it was more punishing than other versions.
- Integrate a specific SFX of a laugh (or other sound in line with stealth fantasy) that has to be very recognizable and unique. It has to be heard from close to medium/far distance from opponents to be aware of the stealth activation.
- Acrobatic Vault: Increased the cooldown from 17s to 20s.
- Obscuring Dagger: Reduced damage from 12 to 10.
- Explosive Me:
- Added 0.1 on the charging phase to force Loki to wait more time before the Ult is fully charged (providing also more time to refire)
- Added 0.1 on the prefire of the explosion to give more reaction time to the opponents to dodge/avoid the explosion
- Reduced the dmg bracket of the Ultimate from 20-30 to 17-25 to be more in line with other gods’ ult damage
- Reduced Ultimate Charge rate by 8% (same as Sun Wukong and King Arthur).
- Empowered Air Light:
- Reduced warping distance from 9m to 8m
- Reduced the velocity of the warping to reduce the “snappy” feeling of the attack and provide more time to react for opponents
- Reduced damage from 16 to 12
- Empowered Air Heavy Attack:
- Reduced the velocity of the warping to reduce the “snappy” feeling of the attack and provide more time to react for opponents
- Reduced damage from 16 to 14
- Added 0.1 on the charging phase to force Loki to wait more time before the Ult is fully charged (providing also more time to refire)
- Added 0.1 on the prefire of the explosion to give more reaction time to the opponents to dodge/avoid the explosion
- Reduced the dmg bracket of the Ultimate from 20-30 to 17-25 to be more in line with other gods’ ult damage
- Reduced Ultimate Charge rate by 8% (same as Sun Wukong and King Arthur).
- Reduced warping distance from 9m to 8m
- Reduced the velocity of the warping to reduce the “snappy” feeling of the attack and provide more time to react for opponents
- Reduced damage from 16 to 12

- Reduced damage from 16 to 14
Talents are at their peak.
- Effect Seeker Divine Trait (Attacks against Poisoned and Blinded enemies deal an additional 2 Damage) reduced damage buff provided from 2 to 1.
Sol is a computer game that you can customize.
Sol undergoes minor Quality of Life changes in this patch. We increase her healing potential and strengthen her character following the changes made in the previous patch. Also, Disapparate's animation was not perfectly synced with the movement's start.
- Increased the number of pools created by “The Floor is Lava” from 4 to 6.
- Reduced the length of the pre-fire animation by 2 frames.
Sun Wukong is a Chinese emigrant.
We want to improve the "Monkey See, Monkey Do" skill by including a subtle way to recognize the clone (in conjunction with what we already did in the last patch: the clone dealing 30% less dmg).
- Clone plays specific gameplay cues when is hit by the opponent and when he hits the opponent. The gameplay cues are just slightly different, requiring attention to be recognized.
- The talent name of “Precise Momentum” has been updated in “Sun Wukong’s Momentum” to avoid naming inconsistency.
- The “Monkey See, Monkey Do” talent has been updated in “Monkey See”, and the clone can now use just The Magic Cudgel (Dashing Strikes has been removed from the talent).
Susano
Our team has been working on a new skill to take the place of the Wind Runner minor trait, which is too powerful and leads to unbalanced power spikes in the aerial playstyle.
Talents are plentiful.
- Wind Runner replaced by a new Talent: Windstorm
- Attacks against enemies trapped by Swirling Tempest deal additional 2 damage and 20% knockback (Up to 6 damage per Attack).
- Attacks against enemies trapped by Swirling Tempest deal additional 2 damage and 20% knockback (Up to 6 damage per Attack).
