1. PvE Renewal Overview:

Increase Monsters’ Attack Rate
- Reasons:
  - Monsters’ stats are significantly lower than the characters’ stats. Therefore, monsters’ attacks turn into less effective.
  - Dungeon difficulty is not up to the mark as expected.
- Changes:
  - Increase Attack Rate of monsters’ in dungeons, so that players can feel the difficulty of monsters in dungeons.
Adjust Monsters’ Defensive stats:
- Reasons:
  - Some monsters in high-end dungeons have too high stats.
  - Players can’t feel the development of their characters.
- Changes:
  - Adjust the Defense stats of monsters in dungeons, so that players can see their characters’ growth.
Adjust Monsters’ Penetration & Ignore DMG Reduce:
- Reasons:
  - Characters’ Ignore Penetration and Cancel Ignore DMG Reduce have less effect in dungeons.
  - As there is not much effect, players see no point in growing those stats.
- Changes:
  - Adjust monsters’ Penetration, Ignore DMG Reduce, so that the counter stats from characters will have effect.
Monsters’ Fixed Attack and Add Monsters’ Critical Attack:
- Reasons:
  - Currently monsters in game could attack with a random value in a specific range of minimum – maximum damage. This caused confusion for players.
  - For some monsters, the gap between minimum / maximum attack is huge, this leads to a tremendous deviation between damages.
  - As the deviation of attack from monsters are removed, there won’t be no “Strike” from monsters.
- Changes:
  - Damage of monsters will be unified, there will be no minimum / maximum attack anymore, instead of that monsters’ attack will be consistent.
  - Attacks of monsters in high-end dungeons are reduced.
  - Critical Attack is added for monsters to address the lack of “Strike” hits.
Decrease Monsters’ HP:
- Changes:
  - Defense is adjusted.
  - Time for killing monsters is increased.
  - HP is reduced.
