Updated February 21, 2023: Segnale class rankings were missing from the tables below. This has been corrected and coins have been sent. Thank you for everyone that participated in Season 1 of the skill-rating rankings. For those that are new, click here for information about the SR system. Overall, it was amazing to see how much action and fun everyone had while participating. That said, we will be making some adjustments to the SR algorithm for Season 2 (which will be announced after we're done making improvements). Some of our findings: SR wasn't weighted correctly based on the time participated in DK Square. This demotivated players from joining matches that were already in progress, out of fear of not getting a high SR score. We will improve this in the future. SR adjustments after each match -- in some cases, the adjustments after each DKS match were a bit too drastic. In the future we will add a cap to how much SR can be affected by each match. A few other things. We will continue to make improvements so that everyone can enjoy this new system to the fullest. Now, we will post the results of Season 1! Segnale Class Rankings: DominatrixX Segnale 8,697 MissBaLa Segnale 8,638 Season 1 Rewards (Sent) Top Class Ranking: 7,000 coins to the first place ranker of each class, 4,000 to second place. Top 15 SR: Top 1 - 10,000 coins Top 2-3 - 7,500 coins Top 4-10 - 5,000 coins Top 10-15 - 2,500 coins

Qune Revamp Qune is an important accessory. We've made it easier, but still challenging. Qune Earring is crafted at NPC Aria. A guide will be posted soon for those unfamiliar. Various qune-related crafting materials have been made easier to obtain: New Moonstone Earring: Added to Rising Helion (1500 SoD) Pale Moonstone -> Refined Moonstone 50x Lava Stone -> 25 Lava Stone Steel Gemstone Dr. Labo increased drop rate to 30-50% Helpyon's Flame Helpyon Boss -> increased drop rate to 30-60% Moonlight Jewel Drops from 3 bosses that have been added to Shangri-La Bosses: Contaminated Seleana Furious Teleperion Karon's Underling Hazard Count: 2x of each boss Respawn time: 15-30 min Shining Smelting Stone Added to Rising Helion exchange: 3x Guardian Proof -> 1x Shining Smelting Stone Shining Polish Increased droprate from Hidden Silenos Treasurebox to 100% New Cosmetics New Costumes New Costumes Summer Athleisure Costume Cat Costumes New Special Effect Costumes We've added a new cosmetic tier of costumes: Special Effect Costumes - that will require 300 Mystical Fabric instead of the usual 100. These costumes will have new special (not added yet) VISUAL effects but will not provide any stat advantages. Suit Costume Bunny Costume New Wings Skill-Rating System Season 1 Winner Requirements Update: Competitors must have played at least 15 matches to be considered winners. SR Adjustments Most adjustments will happen in season 2 Adjustments that will apply to Season 1 that are not reflected in the SR ranking numbers yet: Leave/DC penalty Skill-rating decay (score decreases slightly if no match played within 3 days) Season 2: Season 2 start date will be announced a few days after season 1. Season 2 rewards will be improved. Balance There are two major components to this balance patch. Both components are 100% official and do not contain any custom changes. Another way to look at it is that we have updated our skill files to the latest and greatest version. The purpose of this patch is to update our files to the latest balance before we make any adjustments (if necessary). However, as of this update all balance is 100% original and we plan on doing our best to maintain official KR balance. IMPORTANT: Buff/debuff descriptions may not all be updated, but their effect in the stat window is accurate. It will just take us some time to handle the text. Original Overall Balance Patch This is an official balance patch. We will continue working with official original version balance patches (not adjusted global balance where everything is adjusted for P2W items we don't have, like other servers have done). This is a balance patch that affects 76 different skills. In other words, 76 skills/passives were not the latest version. General Changes Certain classes that were weaker due to the game shifting toward PvP Res and other macro changes have been buffed. Aloken party-buffs, which dominated competitive aspects and too-strongly influenced team/party performance have been weakened (but self-buffs remain strong) Animations Many animation times have been decreased, which makes combat faster and more engaging while also making matches more skill based than spam based Many animations now feel more natural, with some skills properly following targets (such as Dopios) Bug fixes Some buffs were not being applied correctly for various classes Meister Balance Patch This patch primarily focuses on the Meister skills and GM skills. For this we have spent a lot of time to create detailed notes. Changelog Change-log Corrections/Inaccuracies: Some of the changes in the change-log below were already applied in a previous update by mistake. Mistakes in the changelog below: Aloken - La Defense - the "modified" numbers are based on Lv5, NOT level 10. Missing from Changelog Below: Some changes are missing from the notes below (mostly QoL stuff). This includes buffs to certain classes that weren't buffed in the notes below. Seguriper - Dopios - target now follows the target, animation speed increased, distance increased General - buff/debuff targeting improved on some skills Bagi Warrior: Various skills buffed in damage, tanky-ness improved, various buffs/passives improved Iron Flash - rollback bug should be fixed

Warriors, Dekaron is all about competitiveness and challenges. The Rising is no exception. In the short time since A31 was released we've been honored to play alongside some of the most prestigious guilds in the history of Dekaron. What Dekaron has always been missing is a skill rating system -- similar to that of popular match-based games such as League of Legends, Fortnite, Overwatch, etc. For the first time in the history of Dekaron we've revealing a competitive skill-rating system for both individuals and guilds. Season 1 Schedule February 4th - February 20th February Rankings will no longer be calculated after February 20th at 11:59PM server time, but you may continue to enjoy DK Square / Draco Battle. IMPORTANT: Guild Rankings All characters MUST be guild members within 24 hours after Siege. After 24 hours, each guild's members will be locked into the ranking system. Guild rankings will begin 24 hours after season starts. In future seasons, guild member lock may be changed and will be announced if so. DK Square / Draco Battle Skill Rating (SR) System The skill rating system is a complex algorithm that takes into consideration many factors and provides a "skill rating" for each player that participates in DK Square / Draco Battle. Skill rating is adjusted after every match depending on performance. **Penalties & Abuse** There will be a 0 tolerance policy for abuse. Anyone found attempting to cheat the SR system will be Immediately disqualified for two seasons or permanently based on severity. HWID & IP Banned from any competitive game mode (DKS, Draco, Zuto, upcoming Colosseum, etc.) In certain cases, the entire account will be banned. Guilds will be penalized when one of their members is disqualified for abuse. If a guild receives too many penalties, the entire guild may be disqualified from the rankings for two seasons. THIS IS THE ONLY WARNING WE WILL PROVIDE How is SR Calculated? There are many things that are taken into consideration for SR calculation. We cannot reveal every factor or the entire algorithm to prevent abuse attempts, but we will describe most of it. Placement Matches *Important* Skill Rating is only calculated after the character has participated in at least 7 DK Square matches. Win/lose does not matter as, just the participation. Factors Considered: Kills (points determined by the rank + level of the killer vs killed) Match win/lose Match duration Objective Activities (stone destroys/communication) # of members in the match Final score variation (example: Miseria beating Richez by 9000 points will be weighted less than Misera beating Richez by only 1000 points) Penalties Disconnections will result in a SR penalty. Killing the same character over and over will start negatively affecting score Factors Specific to Guild Skill Rating The Guild Skill Rating is a bit more complex in that it uses two algorithms. The first one is the same as the character performance algorithm above. The second algorithm is the "Overall Guild Performance" algorithm. Overall Guild Performance Algorithm We can't go into detail -- but this algorithm makes macro-level considerations in contrast to the character specific algorithm. Examples: How the guild is performing overall in DK Square How much a specific guild is contributing in DKS matches they participate in (normalized) Guilds that don't attack their own members despite being on opposing teams are negatively impacted by this scoring. Skill Rating Qualification Requirements In order for the algorithm to be able to qualify for a skill rating, a character must: Complete at least 7 "placement matches" ( this means Be at least level 210 Guild-Specific Qualifications For guilds, the requirements are the same with one additional requirement: Guild must have at least 15 qualified members. Guild members must be in the guild on the first day of the season in order to be considered. Otherwise, their scores will not count toward the guild score! Skill Rating (SR) Disclaimer The first season is a trial of the ranking system. We reserve the right to tweak the algorithm if we deem it necessary. Although we have tested it for a few weeks -- we tested it without people participating in DKS/DB knowing that their rankings were being calculated. If we adjust the algorithm, we will update the version here. Additional information on what was modified may or may not be noted. Rewards Who gets rewards? Character Rewards - Top Class Ranking Since each class is different, rewards will be distributed by the top ranker of each class at the end of the period. Character Rewards - Top 15 SR This reward will be sent to the top 15 characters ranked. Guild Rewards - All members All guild members of the guild that have been members of the guild since the first day of the season will receive the rewards. Season 1 Rewards The first season is a trial of the ranking system. We reserve the right to tweak the algorithm if we deem it necessary. Although we have tested it for a few weeks -- we tested it without people participating in DKS/DB knowing that their rankings were being calculated. Top Class Ranking: 7,000 coins to the first place ranker of each class, 4,000 to second place. Top 15 SR: Top 1 - 10,000 coins Top 2-3 - 7,500 coins Top 4-10 - 5,000 coins Top 10-15 - 2,500 coins Guild Rewards Guild rewards will not be sent during the first season. This is because the guild score algorithm is less mature than the character ranking algorithm -- and we may need to tweak it. We don't want to risk being unfair if the algorithm needs to be tweaked. How to View / Search Rankings Rankings Page Filtering / Sorting You can filter by character name, class, or guild by using the filter buttons Similarly, the sort button will sort by ascending Placement Count By filtering for your character name, you can see the number of placement matches completed/remaining. Additional Information Skill Rating Calculation Technical Details The way the system works in technical terms is using a machiene learning model that analyzes factors listed above. The factors are then ran through an "adjustment" algorithm that assigns weights to the different factors. Future Improvements/Changes We may adjust the weights of different factors as we see needed. Any changes to the algorithm will be applied universally and not targeted toward any specific individuals. This is the first time something like this is created for Dekaron, so adjustments may be needed. FUTURE Season Rewards Top Class Ranking Unique pair of wings for each class in top 1 (timed) + coins Top 15 SR: Unique wings depending on the rank. Guild Rewards: Unique emblem

Event / Update Information Weekend Events 3X EXP/3X Drop has been activated for the weekend. 4X EXP/3X Drop will be activated on January 22 for 24 hours to celebrate Lunar New Year. For Zuto Battle, Draco DKS, and other events please view the Event Calendar here. Update Schedule We are expecting to release another update on Sunday, January 22nd. Downtime will be < 30 minutes and 4X will be extended during this time. New Player Experience + Rising JUMP Event Updated Lv 210 JUMP Achievement Package The level 210 achievement package that includes several accessories to help get started with game PvP related aspects. This is because many newcomers are very eager to participate in DK Square, Draco Battle, and Zuto Battle but may still need time to obtain gear. New Characters and Existing Characters New characters will automatically be rewarded with a Lv 210 JUMP package when they reach level 210. Existing characters can get the Lv 210 JUMP package from Rising Helion NPC for 100 Seed of Dreams. Items Included: Starter Zuto Weapon Box +8 Starter White Candy Earring Starter Devil's Horn Starter Fallen Sailors Ring Starter Pure Moon Star Earrings Note: These items are NOT upgradable and can not be used in the crafting system. Starter versions are not as powerful as normal versions but help with survivability. Starter Zuto Weapons: Starter Zuto Weapons are +8 versions of Zuto Weapons with hardcoded options. The starter versions have the new increased minimum stats in the range (so every normal Zuto weapon will have better rank options). These weapons give players who have not had an opportunity to obtain Zuto Weapons a chance to participate in competitive game modes. Normal + Rare Pets Updated ALL Normal + Rare pets will give 4% PvP DMG Res. Previously only Unique pets gave stats. 4% is still less than Unique pets, but this allows even new players to benefit from pets. Dragonic Perpetus Updates Dragon Horn Added 15% drop rate to Binaelle Fairy for Dragon Horn (in addition to Inner Ugliness). This should guarantee a dragon horn drop in around 5-10 runs. Infinite Essence / Eternal Essence Exchange Improvement This is primarily a quality of life improvement since previously you couldn't mix and match binded/unbinded Z Coins. This fixes that issue as both binded/unbinded can be combined and exchanged for Essence Piece. New item added: Essence Piece 20 Z Coin = 1 Essence Piece (Rising Helion) --- Works with both Binded/Unbinded Z Coins Eternal Essence / Infinite Essence No longer requires unbinded Z Coins, instead uses Essence Piece Mount Revamp: Mounts for Everyone! Mount Levels All mounts going forward will be max level (6) going forward and mounts will not need to upgraded or leveled from 1-6. Mount Variations and Stats All mounts after this update will have a predefined 1 of 4 predefined variations. This is is so that everyone has the same opportunity to have any advantages given by mounts. PvE Type 1 All Stats: 100, EXP: 100%, Movement Speed: 5% PvE Type 2 All Stats: 70, Max HP: 10%, PVE Resistance: 5% PvP Type 1 All Stats 70, Vitality: 120, PVP DMG Bonus: 5% PvP Type 2 All Stats 70, Vitality: 120, PVP Resistance: 3% Mount Cosmetics Mounts have been divided into different style (cosmetic) categories. Style 1, Style 2, Style 3, and Style 4 Remember -- these are only cosmetic differences since all mounts have the same stat variations! Mount Style Boxes Obtaining Mount Boxes Mount Boxes can be obtained from both Rising Helion (Exchange) NPC and D-Shop. All mounts have the same stat variations -- the only difference is the visuals. Rising Helion Exchange NPC Mount Randombox Style 1 added to Rising Helion Mount Randombox Style 2 added to Rising Helion D-Shop Mount Randombox Style 1 added to Rising Helion Mount Randombox Style 2 added to Rising Helion Mount Randombox Style 3 added to Rising Helion Mount Randombox Style 4 added to Rising Helion Opening Mount Boxes When a mount style box is opened you will receive one of the mount select boxes. The select box will let you chose between PvP Type 1/2 or PvE Type 1/2 -> Mount Previews All mounts can be previewed in the D-Shop. General / Other New HP Bar and Class Icons After many, many iterations and versions, our GFX artist has created a truly beautiful new HP bar that is bigger, clearer, and much nicer to look at.
