KTEST Patch Notes 6/24/19
Gemstone Feud
The number of buff objects that spawn during a session of Gemstone Feud has been reduced.
Uphill Defense
Added a new difficulty setting āVery Difficultā to Uphill Defense.
1. New difficulty: Very Difficult
-If all party members are at least level 400, the difficulty setting āVery Difficultā will be available to choose.
-It is harder to clear than the āHardā setting, but if you can clear all 15 stages, you will be rewarded with two 6-Star Gem Abrasives from Sister Lhasa.
-If you clear āVery Difficultā within 12 minutes, you can proceed to the hidden stage.
-You must defeat all of the monsters to clear the hidden stage.
-By clearing the hidden stage, you will not only receive double the normal amount of Uphill Defense points you would have gotten on āVery Difficultā, but you will also receive four 6-Star Gem Abrasives instead of two.
-If you cannot kill all of the monsters in the hidden stage in time, or the Divine Torch is destroyed, then rewards will only count as if you cleared the āVery Difficultā setting. (It is not treated as a failure, simply a standard clear of the difficulty without the hidden stage bonus rewards)
2. Gimmick Monsters
-The āLapemiterā monster that spawns will deal damage equal to 50% of the Divine Torchās health.
-In āVery Difficultā, a new monster named āLapezardā will spawn.
-Three Lapezards will appear on each stage where a boss appears. While Lapezards are alive, a shield buff is applied to the boss monster that reduces its damage taken by 90%. The buff will disappear if you defeat the Lapezards.
Fire Crystals and the Essence Purifier
-The maximum number of Fire Crystals spawned during Uphill Defense is adjusted to four.
-You can now pick up Fire Crystals immediately without waiting.
-The amount of Fire Crystals used by the Essence Purifier for different effects has been adjusted.
Effect Cost Changes
Recover the Divine Torch (20 -> 90)
Create Hindrance Magic Circle (20 -> 45)
Create Spider Webs (15 -> 60)
-Some effects have been removed, while new effects have been added.
Deleted

New Effects
Generate Lightning Field (160 Crystals): Generates lightning for 20 seconds that strikes places within the map of Uphill Defense. Monsters struck by the lightning have decreased movement speed and are continuously damaged.
Reinforce Party Members (4, 7, 9, 10 Crystals): Grant all members of your party a stacking buff that increases damage dealt. The buff provides +2% damage to a maximum of +40%, and increases in cost after 5, 10, and 15 stacks.
Generate Blockade (15 Crystals): Creates a blockade that prevents monsters from approaching the Divine Torch. You can create up to six, and they are created close to the Divine Torch, alternating between the left and right side. Once at the maximum, you cannot place any more. Gimmick monsters are unaffected by blockades and will ignore them.
4. Uphill Defense Points Per Account
Uphill Defense Points will now be stored on a per team basis.
This will apply to all characters, even if you do not participate in Uphill Defense after the patch.
