Battle-related
- The following additions and changes have been made to Besieged.
- The new Morale Gauge has been added to help in Al Zahbi's defense.
- What is the Morale Gauge?
The Morale Gauge is a visual representation of the morale for the Five Serpent Generals and other allied NPCs. It increases or decreases based on their performance, as well as that of other players.
Note: The starting value for the gauge is based on the current Al Zahbi defense value and the number of prisoners.- Drive back the beastman hordes and boost the morale of the Five Serpent Generals!
The easiest way to increase the Morale Gauge (the morale of the Five Serpent Generals) is to defeat as many of the beastmen that are attacking Al Zahbi as possible. The Five Serpent Generals' morale will rise based on your performance, and once the Morale Gauge exceeds half full, they will provide special support to those adventurers they know they can depend on! - Five Serpent Generals' support effects & conditions
You can receive these support effects (*1) when near the corresponding Five Serpent General.
