We understand that some players might have concerns about the break gauge taking longer than usual to deplete for certain bosses.

With version 5.2.0 released on 11/19, we were aiming to make some adjustments related to the break gauge that would affect future content. The patch implemented to carry this out was intended to fix the behavior of certain consecutive attack abilities (e.g. Barrage, Glorious Rain of Arrows, etc.), which were much more effective when used to deplete the break gauge than was originally intended.

Our intention was to apply these adjustments to future content only, but upon review we discovered that some of our older Challenge of the Brave dungeons were unintentionally made more difficult following this change. We are very sorry for the confusion, and would like to assure our players that the dungeon reruns for Challenge of the Brave for December 2020 will be readjusted to function according to the appropriate break gauge balance.

Our humble apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you very much for your understanding.
