Theno's Dread specifies a range of 'all enemies within 5 range'.  Instead, it uses a 4 range circle.  See attached images:

For a long time I've been sitting on how to ask this. It would not even be hurtful to adjust the 10*s which we have on Korvara to adjust their effects. We know on G6 we could have a total of 24 upgrade levels on all weapon based items in the game however without that capability in Korvara please I beg of you change the way items and their UL effects work! Instead of it being ever 12/6 UL levels change it to ever 10/5 UL levels that way we still get the full 2/4 procs of some of these 10*s and at the same time this does not nerf any of them because over on G6 you'd still get +4 levels of bonus stats. 

Or at the very least make the +1 parameter Blacksmith stamp from G6 a Crystal Terminal Upgrade! That way we can still get the extra benefit to 10*s like our G6 cousins once got!

I must preface this by saying no this is not ruler propaganda I am coming at this from someone playing a dodgie looking at mage's whopping 0 buffs to evasion.

The elemental enchants are alright! Talvyd and galren do stick out a bit compared to the others with their extra effects, but that's for another balance fu.

The defensive ones? they see much less of a use! Have the fairys or static bite been used to much effect at all? The raw stat buffs are neat, but in this meta where hitting the roofs of stats is present, many of them really don't give too much.

Suggestion one: Give them bonus battle stats to make them more generally applicable! 

Fire fairy could give lvl x 3 SWA.
Ice fairy  could give lvl x 3 hit
Static air could give lvl x 3 crit
astral belt could give lvl x 2 armor and marmor
relent gale could give lvl x 3 evasion.
engineer and bard have stat boosts this way, it feels applicable for mages to at least get a few stats for spending the momentum to apply these enchants.

Suggestion two: tweaking effects

Relent gale and astral belt are good, their one time effects have proven to be impactful on many mages (not just ruler). Their expel effects and one time triggers when combined add up to a strong kd tool!

Fire fairy, ice fairy and static air though? Not so much. being able to clear a limited amount of ice or cinder tiles can be neat, but it's a similar case to bk's steel blood. you waste more momentum and health clearing it when the enemy can just apply more whilst damaging you. The one time retaliation damage on evasion of a basic attack is also such a specific clause that really doesn't make static air worth it in my eyes. Here's some throw it out there suggestions!

Perhaps fire and ice fairy can clear their opposing elemental tiles around them per new round before damage can tick? or even convert the enemy elemental tiles closest to you to ally tiles of their element on new round? The worst place an enemy tile can be is under you, and continuous warding off of these specific tiles could prove impactful defensively!

Static air? It could honestly act more like electro shield or armour of nails, a weak, but more consistent form of retaliation damage. Either that or the damage can be upped but the trigger made consistent instead. Imagine it acting like a decent damage version of quickdraw, where the static bite procs before an enemy hits you? That could be fun!


Other suggestions are welcome too bc I wanna see these buffs get more use

The damage reduction of meditate appears to be only applying until the start of the next round, rather than 'while meditating'.  If you are the fastest player in initiative this means you get full DR when performing the Urawaza input, but if you are the slowest you will gain no damage reduction.

Replication steps:

1.  Fight an enemy player faster than you, as a Martial Artist with Meditate and Urawaza.
2.  Take damage from a predictable attack that can be replicated at will. (We used Lord's Flame)
3.  Meditate, and succeed the Urawaza input.  Note that you have the meditating status.
4.  Repeat the same attack as before on the new turn, and note that no damage reduction takes place despite not having had your next turn yet.

Contrast this with the same replication steps but when the MA is higher on initiative, and note that it works as expected.

Star Graph skills (that aren't directly offensive, such as Grip, Cross, etc) count as offensive skills for the sake of conditions like Earthbound Fog and Earthbound Vengeance.

Gunfighter Boots do not function when used in conjunction with the bare fist gun replacements of Mechanations or Karakuri.

To replicate:

1.  Make a Karakuri, get their hidden barrage trait.
2.  Equip Gunfighter Boots.
3.  Kick, and note that your guns are not fired.

Nacht's Ichor Veil states that Youkai gain HP regen whenever a Youkai has the effect.

Being Installed does not give this effect.
Being a Karakuri does not give this effect.

It DOES apply if Nacht gives it to another Youkai, though.

Just a real. Simple sweet thread, because I had the displeasure of trying to use this race.

Base stats? Whatever. Bad, but manageable.

Dragon Breath? It scales with your level, costing 50 fp at level 60. And has worse scaling on it than a youkai invocation.

NOT ONLY THIS. But it also requires 15 san and a trait??? So you can actually use channel magic / destruction simultaneously to actually get the full breath effect?

Ontop of 9 momentum to get the attack out?

Please. I am begging on my hands and knees here. WHAT IS THIS?

PUT THE SCALING IN THE MODERN ERA. PLEASE.
