Formula Patch 1.1

New Patch Notes – Formula Update 1.1
Item Updates
Fortify values have been updated to:
- Fortify 1 = 2%
- Fortify 2 = 4%
- Fortify 3 = 6%
- Pride = 5% DI
- Wrath = 2.5% DI + 2.5% DR
- Sloth = 5% DR
- Envy = 5% Lifesteal
- Lust = 5% Absorb
- Greed = 2.5% Lifesteal + 2.5% Absorb
Subaku Mask is now available.
Black Belt will stay hidden for a bit longer, pending an update where you can't equip items with the same imbueable. This is to help control how strong DR is.
Utility Armors will soon be restored as well.
Skill Tree
The Skill Tree will be reset as well, removing elemental paths and Special Element Boost (bye bye, farewell).
In the future, we'll be adding a new effect to the Skill Tree that will contribute toward increasing the EP of special tags instead of just a damage boost.
The removal here is to ensure that damage and DR are kept in check.

New Combat Formula
The long-awaited combat formula update has arrived.
The game has returned to a multiplicative calculation system instead of additive scaling. This means that bonuses now multiply together rather than simply being added.
For example, two separate 40% damage increases will now calculate as:
1.4 × 1.4 instead of 40% + 40%.
The new formula also includes built-in baseline combat values:
- 50% Damage Reduction
- 60% Damage Increase
These values are applied to all players automatically, ensuring everyone has a baseline level of offense and defense without relying on external systems such as the Skill Tree.
This change is intended to keep early-round damage under control and prevent extreme burst damage regardless of build choices.
What This Means for Combat
- Damage Reduction now experiences diminishing returns when stacked.
- Loadout building becomes more important, as players will need to combine multiple jutsu effects to maximize effectiveness.
- Damage increase and reduction values have been standardized across jutsu, making combat easier to understand and balance.
Armor Changes
The armor system has been simplified significantly. Going forward, the primary armor sets will be:
- Genin Armor Set (Starter Set)
- Flak Jacket Family (Standard Progression Set)
- Kaeruun Armor Set
The team will continue testing armor values, imbuements, and future progression systems to ensure they fit within the new combat framework.
Bloodlines
Current Bloodline adjustments are temporary. The balance team will be conducting a broader review, with additional Bloodline updates planned in future patches.
Keystones
Keystones have returned to the shop. Their role in character progression is changing, with future updates introducing new Keystones and making them less mandatory for overall power.
Players are encouraged to experiment, as Keystones can now be swapped more freely.
Skill Tree Updates
- Offense Path Removed
- Damage Reduction Path Removed
- Elemental Paths Unlocked with additional progression options
- Additional tiers added for:
- Absorb
- Reflect
- Lifesteal
These changes are designed to provide more meaningful specialization choices while reducing mandatory power picks.
