Hello Little Bones

We have made balance changes in the patch mainly focusing on Magic attacks.

A variety of changes have been made such as damage buffs, QOL improvements, and lowering the high skill ceiling that was required for certain elements.

As mentioned, this patch focuses on elements related to Magic attacks. In our next updates, we plan to focus on Physical attacks as well.

Our efforts to smooth out the balance of Skul are a continuous one.
We also play our game to grasp a better understanding of our community and their feedback. Through your voices, we continue to work hard to provide a betting enjoyable playing experience.
