Soccer Spirits Patch Notes (July 15th 2015)

My first post after a while is... Patch Notes! Please don't hate me. Well, without further ado here it is:

July 15th, Update Details
Hi, it's Com2uS!
Here are the details of the update on July 15th.

■ Update Schedule
July 15th 10pm - July 15th 12pm PDT

■ Update Details
1) Character
● Extreme Evolution Rasiel(Flash) has been added to the game.

Rasiel's ace skill names have been unified as "God's Secret".
Rasiel's active skill names have been unified as "Book of Secrets".
"Stiffen" will be replaced by "Defensive Tactics" when Rasiel goes through extreme evolution.

• Stiffen: Decreases the enemy's defense and action speed by 70% with a steal.
• Defensive Tactics: Decreases the reflexes and action speed of the enemies within the position each by 25% and 50%.

Notes: From Korean translation, Defensive Tactics only has a duration of 2 minutes and procs on a steal!

2) Features
● The boss match against Rasiel(Flash) has been added to the game. The schedule regarding this match will be announced through a separate notice.

3) Bug Fixes
● The issue of Alkyde(Dark) moving to the forward line when a friend's Alkyde is being used has been resolved.

4) Misc.
● During the maintenance on July 1st and July 8th, some users who have experienced Spirit Stone option losses will have their options restored, along with compensations. 50,000 Gold will be given out for each missing Spirit Stone.

※ There might be a chance that there will be no options restore according to the Spirit Stone's grade
Please note the maintenance schedule to avoid any inconveniences.

Food for thought:

Well, BigBall (or LightBall) decides to release another boss EE after Qiyou. Honestly, I don't know what makes them decides to release another Light EE instead of releasing EE for other elements, like Lucian, Raklet, or Luka which are highly on demand. This will add another to the long list of Light EE (by this time Light has the most EE).

Rasiel as boss character will have lower stats compared to other natural *5 players. But, since she's farmable, she will be a big help for new players whose teams are not yet complete. The new skill "Defensive Tactics" is a nice upgrade to her skill set. I think she might go well in 4-man reflex mid or in frontline coupled with utility strikers, like Kirin for example since they both reduce speed within position and she also reduce reflex to help your frontline to steal the ball back. However, her role as "Leader" is a big drawback for her AI. "Leader" players will only attack when their HP is full or more than the target, otherwise they only block or pass. If referring to the Korean translation of her skill, it procs when she attempts to steal, that means in PvP, she will only steal a few times when her HP is still full, thus reducing her usefulness in auto mode. Otherwise, she is a useful player and if you still don't have her yet, please get her next week.
