《Horizon Walker》 | Notice

Hello, Human God. 

This is the Horizon Walker Development Team. 

First, we would like to sincerely thank all Human Gods who continue to support and enjoy Horizon Walker. 

In the March 12 update, performance reworks for the existing vanguards Valeta and Lisandria will be introduced. 

As time has passed since their release, we have observed that both vanguards have begun to feel somewhat underpowered in the current combat environment. 

With this adjustment, we aimed to improve their practical combat effectiveness while preserving each vanguard’s original concept and identity.  Rather than drastically changing their core design, this rework focuses on: 

• Strengthening the impact and effectiveness of key skills 

• Making each vanguard’s combat flow more intuitive 

• Improving the synergy between the vanguard and their exclusive weapon 

Through these changes, both vanguards should feel more satisfying and reliable in battle while maintaining their original playstyle.     

Lisandria Rework

Vanguard Adjustment Direction 

Lisandria was originally designed as an area-control vanguard who generates a wide battlefield zone and applies sustained damage to enemies within it.  However, under the previous structure, her core skill Blood Judgment struggled to reach its intended performance level.  The damage output often did not justify the effort required to maintain the zone, which resulted in her overall combat contribution feeling lower than expected. 

With this rework, we have maintained Lisandria’s original concept while significantly strengthening the damage potential of Blood Judgment, and improving the stability of maintaining the zone through synergy with her signature weapon. 

With the right combat conditions, Lisandria will now be able to consistently pressure nearby enemies with powerful sustained damage centered around the Blood Judgment zone. 

Active Skill: Blood Judgment

\[Adjustment Intent]    Blood Judgment is Lisandria’s core ability, creating a battlefield zone that deals damage to enemies within it at the end of each turn. 

Previously, the damage output did not sufficiently justify the maintenance conditions required to sustain the zone, and the zone itself would often end too quickly for the skill to feel impactful. 

With this adjustment, we have: 

• Significantly increased the sustained damage dealt within the zone 

• Improved the structural stability of the zone through synergy with her exclusive weapon 

In particular, the exclusive weapon now grants the ability to obtain the Salvation effect when certain conditions are met. 

By maintaining an appropriate HP threshold, Lisandria will now be able to sustain the Blood Judgment zone for extended periods and continuously pressure enemies across the battlefield. 

\[Buff] Increased sustained damage dealt within the zone 

\[Buff] Improved zone stability through synergy with the signature weapon

\[Buff] Improved combat flow so the effect connects more naturally immediately after skill activation 

Lisandria should now more clearly fulfill her role as a vanguard capable of delivering continuous area damage when combat conditions are maintained. 

Valeta Rework

Vanguard Adjustment Direction 

Valeta was designed as a versatile vanguard-type vanguard capable of stable frontline combat. 

While her skill set allows her to adapt to a variety of combat situations, her core offensive skills have recently fallen behind the current combat environment, resulting in lower damage contribution than intended. 

With this adjustment, Valeta’s existing mechanics and combat structure will remain unchanged, while the damage performance of her key offensive skills will be strengthened. 

These improvements aim to allow Valeta to function as a reliable frontline choice across a wider range of combat scenarios. 

Core Skill Adjustments

\[Adjustment Intent]  Valeta’s combat performance heavily relies on the offensive skills that activate while she is in the Angel of Judgment state. 

However, in the current combat environment, the damage output during this state has not been sufficient for her to deliver the expected level of offensive contribution. 

This adjustment strengthens the damage performance of skills activated during the Angel of Judgment state, allowing Valeta to deliver more reliable burst damage during her key combat window. 

Key Changes 

\[Buff] Increased damage of offensive skills activated during the Angel of Judgment state 

\[Maintained] Skill activation conditions and overall combat structure remain unchanged 

Closing Notes 

This rework for Valeta and Lisandria focuses on strengthening the impact of their core abilities while preserving their original concepts and playstyles. 

Valeta is expected to become a more reliable frontline vanguard capable of performing consistently across various combat situations. 

Lisandria should now more clearly fulfill her role as an area-control damage dealer, dominating the battlefield through sustained damage centered around Blood Judgment and her signature weapon synergy. Moving forward, we will continue to monitor gameplay data and player feedback to ensure that existing vanguards remain viable and enjoyable across a variety of combat environments.
