TOS Development Team: Lepidoptera Junction Hard Mode
Hello, this is the Tree of Savior development team.
In this post, we will introduce you to Lepidoptera Junction: Hard Mode.
Crevox Note: I’m skipping the translation of the lore section. It’s the same as the current story.
Differences from Normal Difficulty
Removed the Battle with Tantalizer
The development team has removed the battle with Tantalizer that occurs in the current raid, in order to reduce the burden that occurs when attempting the raid multiple times.
(Empty Area)
Orb of Magic
While the development team was watching players play through [Lepidoptera Junction: Legend], they determined that the majority of the difficulty of the existing raid was mostly placed on the healer of the group.
We’ve added a new item called the [Orb of Magic], which is needed to defeat the boss, as a means to further diversify player roles in the raid.
[Orbs of Magic] are provided by the [Chronomancer Master] located in the area where Tantalizer was previously fought.
[Orbs of Magic] are a consumable item with 5 different types, and each orb has a different effect.
These items are used to complete specific different Moringponia mechanics, and you will have to distribute these items among your party and form a strategy to defeat the bosses within a reasonable time-frame.
These orbs will be the core of your strategy to defeat the boss.
Moringponia and Tantalizer Attacking in Tandem
During your battle with Moringponia, Tantalizer will appear. Tantalizer, together with Moringponia, will make the battle even harder for the Saviors.
Hard Mode has been completely reorganized and is designed to overwhelm Saviors with higher difficulty than before.
Reward: Karaliene Accessories
The stat bonuses of the Karaliene accessory sets is currently being tested and is subject to change with the update.
With the release of [Lepidoptera Junction: Hard Mode], you will be able to create new Legend accessory sets, named Karaliene accessories, from Teliavelis.
In order to create these, you will need to get the materials from [Lepidoptera Junction: Hard Mode] in addition to the Moringponia Legend accessories.
In addition, you will need the Drakonas accessory sets or the Carnas accessories for different sets.
Accessories will need to be +10.
There are a total of 7 different sets of Karaliene accessories, each of them inheriting the set effects of the Moringponia accessories, alongside a new unique effect. Karaliene accessories also increase in power with Dragon Strength level 2, which improves these unique effects by 30-40%.
Karaliene Isgarinti
Stats
CON ▲35
SPR ▲135
Critical Rate ▲150
3 Set Effects
Increases the damage dealt by summons by 250%.
Decreases the damage taken by summons by 30%.
Provides 1 stack of Feeding every time the caster deals critical damage.
Feeding
Upon reaching 20 stacks, the stacks will be consumed to provide the Enchantment buff to your summons.
Feeding Duration: 5 seconds
Enchantment
Summons will deal additional damage equal to the damage of the original hit to up to 3 enemies
within a range of 60 upon hitting an enemy.
Enchantment Duration: 2 seconds
Dragon Strength Lv 2
Increases the duration of Enchantment by 1 second.
Explanation
The Karaliene Isgarinti set has the same bonuses as the Moringponia Isgarinti accessory set when it comes to Summoning.
The summon damage increase and damage reduction effects are now always active, and the caster dealing critical damage accumulates energy that is temporarily applied to your summons to provide them with stronger area of effect attacks.
The Karaliene Isgarinti accessory set solves the problem of summons lacking the ability to deal damage in an area, especially when used with a large number of summons. Classes such as Necromancer and Bokor can benefit greatly from this.
Karaliene Triukas
Stats
INT ▲75
CON ▲48
SP ▲2500
Critical Rate ▲300
Magic Critical Attack ▲1700
3 Set Effects
While [Magic Shield: Arcane Explosion] or [Guardian Saint: Belief] are active, critical hits will trigger the skill [Force Wave] to be cast dealing damage equal to the attribute of the skill that triggered it.
[Force Wave]
-Skill Factor: 5500%
-Skill Cooldown: 3 seconds
-Inflicts a debuff for 10 seconds on hit that causes the target to take 50% increased damage from
the damage attribute of Force Wave.
-When there is more than one attribute debuff active on the target, their movement speed will be decreased by 20 for 3 seconds.
Dragon Strength Lv 2
-Increases the Skill Factor of Force Wave by ▲2000%.
Explanation
The Karaliene Triukas accessory set has stats for Wizards and Clerics that mainly deal damage using magic.
Force Wave is a magic skill that is automatically cast when dealing critical damage while [Magic Shield: Arcane Explosion] or [Guardian Saint: Belief] are active.
Force Wave is cast directly in front of the caster, dealing damage to all enemies in range. It can inflict damage multiple times based on your distance from the enemy. This distance may allow it to be avoided, but it can abused to deal damage multiple times to large enemies.
Karaliene Pyktis
Stats
STR ▲75
CON ▲48
Critical Rate ▲300

Critical

Counter Attack Damage ▲30%
Counter
A counter is triggered upon hitting an enemy with physical damage while you are within 150 range or less from the enemy. Both you and the enemy must be in motion of using a skill or a normal attack for a counter to trigger.
Explanation
The Karaliene Pyktis accessories improve the abilities of physical damage dealers, and inflict increased damage when you damage an opponent who is attacking.
Upon a successfully counter attack, you will deal high damage. If you counter 5 times, you won’t be able to counter temporarily.
This allows you to gain a buff that increases your Critical Rate. Also, the counter is only triggered if both you and the enemy are within the motion of using a skill.
This effect does not trigger when inflicting or receiving damage from damage over time effects.
Karaliene Juoda
Stats
CON ▲38
SPR ▲120
Magic Critical Attack ▲540
3 Set Effects
Grants a 12 second buff to all allies but the caster on Mass Heal use.

-Increases your Healing by 32% for 10 seconds after using Mass Heal, and increases Movement Speed by 10 for 3 seconds.
Dragon Strength Lv 2
-Increases the damage dealt bonus for allies by 10%.
Explanation
The Karaliene Juoda accessory set is exclusively for healers and inherits the effects of Moringponia Juoda. In addition to the existing effects, allies affected by Mass Heal receive both a damage dealt increase buff and a damage taken reduction buff, providing an opportunity for you to turn the situation around when there is danger.
Karaliene Kantribe
Stats
Physical Defense ▲2500
CON ▲70
Critical Resistance ▲470
AoE Defense Ratio ▲3
Block ▲200
3 Set Effects
Increases the duration of [Liberate: Fortitude] by 6 seconds and provides a buff to party members within 300 range upon use.
-Reduces damage received by 50%.
-Duration: 7.5 seconds
Reversal: Inflicts a debuff on enemies upon successfully blocking their physical damage attack that reduces their Critical Rate by your Critical Resistance stat.
-Duration: 5 seconds, stacks
Dragon Strength Lv 2
-Increases the duration of the debuff inflicted by 3 seconds.
Explanation
The Karaliene Kantribe set provides bonuses for Swordsman characters who want to protect their party from danger. This set inherits the benefits of the original Moringponia Kantribe set, while also weakening enemies.
Reversal: Inflicts a debuff on enemies upon successfully blocking their physical damage attack that reduces their Critical Rate by your Critical Resistance stat.
Since the accessories themselves have a high Critical Resistance bonus, wearing them will automatically lead to a potent debuff, while also boosting your own Critical Resistance.
The more Critical Resistance you manage to gain, the easier it will be to neutralize the damage from those who attack you.
However, because the debuff is a debuff that can be removed normally, it may not be powerful if the enemy has a way to counter it.
Karaliene Bargeras
Stats
CON ▲70
Critical Resistance ▲470
Magic Defense ▲2500
AoE Defense Ratio ▲3
Block ▲200
3 Set Effects

-Duration: 5 seconds, stacks
Dragon Strength Lv 2
-Increases the duration of the debuff inflicted by 3 seconds.
Explanation
The Karaliene Bargeras set is basically identical to the Karaliene Kantribe, but specializes in defending against magic damage rather than physical damage.
Successful blocks against magic damage will reduce the enemy’s Critical Rate by your Critical Resistance stat.
Karaliene Friedetti
Stats
STR ▲75
INT ▲75
DEX ▲75
SPR ▲75
Additional Damage ▲2500
3 Set Effects
Every 20 attacks, your attack will inflict 1000% more Additional Damage.
Dragon Strength Lv 2
-Increases the Additional Damage bonus to 1300%.
Explanation
The bonus is referring to the “Additional Damage” stat.
Karaliene Friedetti is an accessory set that empowers damage dealers that have a high “Additional Damage” stat. The items themselves provide a large amount of Additional Damage, and then also provide a set effect that increases the stat by 10x on every 20th attack.
If you can consistently hit enemies while wearing the set, you can expect to deal high damage through the Additional Damage stat.
Conclusion
This concludes the preview of [Lepidoptera Junction: Hard Mode] from the TOS Development Team. Thank you.
