PvE Content

Snowdrift Citadel

Attack and conquer the fortress that held strong throughout the harsh blizzards and numerous invasions. Here you will find two bosses that will test your strength and skill.

Difficulties

There are two difficulties: Master and Abyss

In Master difficulty, the bosses' health and attack are reduced. There are also some slight mech changes. The drops are changed to match the same tier as Volcano Nest. This will be an alternative to Volcano Nest for those who do not like that nest. The drops are slightly better to compensate for its increased difficulty.

Abyss difficulty is the true difficulty for this nest. The bosses will be at their full potential. The drops are materials to enhance your dragon gems to +15.

Abyss Drops

Diminishing Drops

Only applies to Abyss difficulty

You can get full drops up to 10 times per week per account. When you hit the weekly clear soft-cap, the amount of Shattered Glacies you get is reduced. Other drops are not affected. The following table is what you get once you hit the soft-cap.

Why Implement Diminishing Drops?

We know that it might be rather controversial to have diminishing drops. However, we decided that it would be the best choice. Many players burn through new content way too fast. This should put somewhat of a limit on those types of players to incentivize them to slow down. This also helps with making some more casual players feel “not-so-far-behind” after a week of people grinding. The material is untradable and the gems are untradable after +11 so you can’t circumvent this in any way. We may remove this system in the future but for now, this is the way forward. Depending on how well this goes, we will probably put this in for other new major content as well.

Master Drops

Solace of Oblivion

A maze filled with memories from Project Duck's past. Defeat bosses and acquire Artifacts after each fight to augment your encounters!

Get a duo partner and fight a series of three bosses, the last of which is a dragon!

Difficulties

There is an Easy mode and Abyss mode. You can select which mode you want to enter at the nest selection screen.

On Abyss difficulty, after each fight, you and your partner will be greeted with a menu that allows you to pick an Artifact! Your party leader will be able to select one. These effects are very powerful and can stack with one another. Choose wisely!

Abyss Drops

Illusory Domain

A never-ending wave of enemies that will test you in a battle of attrition. How long can you survive?

Progression & Events

Illusory Domain is a solo endless instance broken up into waves and rounds. When you defeat a wave, the next wave of monsters will spawn shortly after. Each wave can consist of various types of monsters. Each round consists of 5 waves and a guardian boss. When you defeat the guardian, you are fully healed and a chest will spawn in the middle of the map. The rewards you get are based on what round and bracket you’re in. With each subsequent round, the monsters will scale up to deal more damage and have more HP.

Certain events can happen during the round such as invaders, dark vortex, or buffs. Be sure to capitalize on the events to improve your survivability.

At a certain point, players are expected to more or less fail. If you manage to make it further... nice...

Bracket A Drops (Rounds 1 - 9)

Bracket B Drops (Rounds 10+)

Reward Scaling

The drops from each bracket are multiplied by the round multiplier.

Project Duck Rare Collectibles

Rare collectibles have been added to Project Duck! These are just random items that you can find by doing various pieces of content. They don't have any actual use aside from just collecting them. Think of them like trading cards! Or worse... NFTs... But for real though, they don't have any value aside from vanity (and linking to world chat to flex).

There is a 1% chance of a collectible dropping when you clear the following content:

• Black Dragon Nest Time Attack
• Ice Dragon Nest Vahrcore (8-Man)
• Rune Dragon Nest (8-Man)
• Rune Dragon Nest Hardcore
• Snowdrift Citadel
• Solace of Oblivion
• Volcano Nest
• Storm Manticore Nest
• Reborn Apocalypse Nest

When you hit that 1% chance and get an item, you have to roll again to see which collectible you get.

Here is a table of the collectibles, the rarity, and the chance to get them. The names are hidden, you'll see what they are when you find them... They all have unique descriptions and item icons. We would put the descriptions of the items in here too (because they're ridiculous) but some of them are too long.

PvE Class Balancing

Healing is out of control right now. When you cast a heal, the ticks afterward give you so much health, it'll heal you to full even from 1% and continue to tick for a long time afterward. We want to make healing more strategic and deliberate.

Class Buff Adjustments

Additional damage on every hit on crit is annoying to look at and makes it harder to tell how much damage each skill actual does. This also reduces the amount of network traffic to the server by about 70% since additional damage is sent as its own packet.

[Preparation]

• No longer grants 10% additional damage on critical hits
• NEW: Grants 10% critical damage

Critical Damage and Chance Skills

Skills that grant critical damage or critical chance from buffs or passive or other effects no longer grant those effects as they don't do anything anyway. We're working on overhauling critical damage and chance in the future and we're getting rid of these now to eventually transition to the new system later.

Many skills are affected but we won't list them here since the list is very long and it doesn't actually change anything anyway since they didn't actually give you anything since everyone is critical damage and chance capped anyway.  

Healing Adjustments

Cooldown reduction from outside source should not have an effect on these heals to prevent any weird interactions in the future.

There is so much healing right now that hits from bosses rarely ever stick to you. "Small Heal" skills such as [Expunge], [Energetic Chakra], and [Awakened Heal], aren't even small heals. They're only small in the sense that the initial burst healing is small. However, the ticks afterward heals you all the way up to full with much more healing to spare. Now, small heal and big heal should take you up to more or less full HP after all the ticks are done.

The following skills are no longer affected by cooldown reduction:

[Awakened Great Heal]
[Awakened Heal]
[Expunge]
[Good Vibrations]
[Energetic Chakra]
[Healing Chakra]
[Miraculous Chakra]

The following skills now partially share cooldown

Example: When a saint casts [Awakened Great Heal], their skill will go on cooldown for the usual 90s. If there is a second healer in a party, their "big heal" skill will go on cooldown for 45s. (This works like Endure but it's a little more forgiving)

[Awakened Great Heal]
[Good Vibrations EX]
[Awakened Miraculous Chakra]

/\c43\Saint

[Awakened Heal]

• Burst heal increased: 5% of target's max HP --> 10% of target's max HP
• Heal over time reduced: 25% of ATK every 3s over 15s --> 10% of ATK every 1s over 5s
  

[Awakened Great Heal] heal over time reduced: 30% of ATK every 2s over 10s --> 15% of ATK every 1s over 5s

/\c51\Physician

[Expunge]

• Heal over time reduced: 20% of ATK every 3s over 15s --> 10% of ATK every 1s over 5s
• No longer resets the cooldown of [Toxic Spill]
  

[Good Vibrations EX] heal over time reduced: 30% of ATK every 2s over 10s --> 15% of ATK every 1s over 5s

/\c68\Light Fury

[Energetic Chakra EX] healing reduced: 15% of ATK every 3s over 15s --> 10% of ATK every 1s over 5s
[Awakened Miraculous Chakra] heal over time reduced: 30% of ATK every 2s over 10s --> 15% of ATK every 1s over 5s
[Healing Chakra EX] heal over time reduced: 25% of ATK every tick --> 5% of ATK every tick

/\c23\Gladiator

Big number and new effects and sounds feel good

[Coup de Grace EX]

• Has 50% critical damage non-crit compensation (meaning, you do 200% if you fail to crit instead of 100%)
• Coefficient spread adjusted: 10%/90%/50% --> 1%/50%/99%
• No longer deals execution damage as + damage, now deals it directly as part of the skill damage (no change in damage)
• Updated camera, skill FX, and sound FX

/\c25\Barbarian

Big number and new effects feel good

[Dragonslayer Fist]

• Has 50% critical damage non-crit compensation (meaning, you do 200% if you fail to crit instead of 100%)
• Hit count changed: 2x 50% --> 1x 100%
• NEW: Added high contrast FX filter and camera FOV effect

/\c76\Dark Avenger

[Fatal Impact]

• Has 50% critical damage non-crit compensation (meaning, you do 200% if you fail to crit instead of 100%)
• Hit count changed: 2x 50% --> 1x 100%

/\c81\Silver Hunter

Silver Hunter is basically permanently airborne on top of having iframes on pretty much every single one of their main skills. We're removing its iframes to make it interact with the game at least maybe a tiny tiny bit more.

The INT scaling to MATK was nuked in combination with the 80% INT scaling to bring Silver Hunter in line with every other class (50% main stat scaling). The MATK increase should balance out both of those reductions.

[Soar Spiral Bolt] is no longer invulnerable on cast
[Soar Wild Shot] is no longer invulnerable on cast or after using the [Regular Attack Button]
[Soar Arrow Storm] is no longer invulnerable on cast
[Soar Deluge Bolt] lockout reduced
[Soar Raging Wind]

• No longer invulnerable on cast
• Lockout reduced

[Soar Tornado Shot] is no longer invulnerable for entire cast time

[Silver Hunter] no longer converts % of your INT to MATK
[Class Mastery]

• INT decreased: 80% --> 50%
• MATK increased: 30% --> 40%

[Class Mastery III] damage increase on affected skills increased: 20% --> 25%

/\c35\Pyromancer

Pyromancer was in a weird state that no one really liked to play. She was heavily burst reliant and mostly just had a bunch of instant cast moves that didn't really fit the thematic of a caster. We're pulling that back to make her commit to her skills more. In return, she is rewarded for good positioning and planning around your Fever mechanic with massive burst damage.

This is pretty much a rework.

[Fire Burst] cooldown reduced: 7s --> 5s
[Enhanced Summon Meteor (3)]

• Cast time increased
• Visuals updated
• Sound effects updated
• Coefficient spread changed to front end
• Total damage increased: 34230% → 48900%

[Inferno EX] tick rate increased, damage per hit decreased (overall no change in damage)
[Fireball EX]

[Fireball EX Instant] visual effects on cast updated

[Magma Ball EX]

• Holding the ball of lava in place coefficient per hit increased: 5% → 7.5%

• Explosion coefficient of the ball of lava shot forward increased: 90% → 110%
• Explosion visuals updated
• Damage increased: 7800% → 8750%

[Awakened Ignite] visual effects updated
[Awakened Fire Wall]

• No longer has an 85 range hitbox right in front of you.
• Flame worm shot out using [Regular Attack Button] damage increased per tick while moving forward
• Total coefficient changed: 80% --> 90% (but it was more like 60% before because no one ever hit that tiny melee range hit)

[Awakened Passive Fever Mastery]

• NEW: Added visual effect on your character when you have at least 50 Fever
• Bubble limit increased: 3 → 100
• Bubble generation changed:
  • Casting [Flash Fire] no longer grants Fever
  • NEW: Gain 1 Fever per hit of [Inferno], [Hot Rod CM3], [Fireball], [Magma Ball]
  • This is not applicable to regular [Hot Rod]
• [Summon Meteor] enhancement intervals changed: 1/2/3 Fever → 50/75/100 Fever
• [Enhanced Summon Meteor] consumes all Fever on cast and all levels share cooldown
• [Enhanced Summon Meteor] skill icon will change color based on the amount of Fever you have accumulated

[Awakened Passive Fire Mastery] fire ATK increased: 10% → 15%

[Class Mastery III]

• NEW: Now has an activation window of 1.8 seconds after casting [Fire Burst] rather than only locked to casting it immediately after.
• NEW: Now jumps to the same end action as pressing the [Regular Attack Button] when you let the skill automatically end

/\c41\Guardian

This was a feature to prevent the caster from receiving status effects from enemies when you successfully block an attack. Since that's baked into every block now, this effect is no longer needed.

[Stance of Faith EX] no longer cures when doing a perfect parry

/\c83\Arch Heretic

This amounted to less than 1% of your ATK anyway

[Arch Heretic] no longer converts % of your STR to ATK

/\c47\Shooting Star

[Star Mortar] damage increased: 30763% --> 33839%

/\c48\Gear Master

Done to standardize every class to 50% main stat scaling

[Class Mastery] AGI increased: 45% --> 50%

/\c50\Adept

[Awakened Ice Beam (Instant)] has 50% critical damage non-crit compensation (meaning, you do 200% if you fail to crit instead of 100%)

/\c65\Jotunn

DPS while playing supportively should increase. DPS while in Frostborne mode is unchanged

[Class Mastery] PATK increased: 20% --> 30%
[Absolute Zero] PATK buff decreased: 30% --> 20%

/\c66\Rai

Rai has a lot of iframes that are free and this should fix. Phase changes were made to incentivize utilizing the movement on the skill.

[Class Mastery II]

• Light ATK reduced: 25% --> 20%
• Cooldown reduction of [Flash Storm] upon hitting [Charged Overload] reduced: 3s --> 2s

[Phase]

• Bubble generation on-cast reduced: 3 --> 2
• Movement required for bubble generation increased: 180 --> 160 units

[Raijin] is no longer invulnerable while exiting the flurry of slashes
[Awakened Stigmata]

• Final attack coefficient increased: 50% --> 75%
• Final attack animation speed increased: 165% --> 175%

/\c91\Blood Phantom

This isn't the rework but it'll fix a lot of the issues and add a few tools that would be in the rework anyway

[Phantom Call]

• Holding S now keeps the teleportation use
• Not holding a key now does nothing which allows for smoother animation canceling

[Bloody Sign] now applies 20% damage taken debuff again
[Cruel Madness] +1 damage decreased: 6757% --> 6490%
[Phantom Drive] NEW: after casting [Cruel Phantom Drive], you can cast [Phantom Drive] again within a 1s window that deals 50% reduced damage
[Vaporize (A)]

• Action speed buff removed
• NEW: reduces [Vaporize]'s cooldown by 50%
• SP cost reduced: 1 --> 0

[Vaporize (B)] SP cost reduced: 1 --> 0
[Vaporize] SP cost reduced: 3 --> 1

/\c93\Avalanche

Standardizing all ice stacking classes to be pretty much permanent uptime

[Awakened Blunt Slash] freeze duration increased: 5s --> 12s

/\c79\Ruina

[Kidney Blow EX] second attack slams you into the ground instead of continuing to lift you further into the air (damage unchanged)

[Awakening Passive Ducking]

Kidney Blow Instant and Pressure Release remain unchanged

• Using [Ducking] during or after [Follow Up], [Exploding Palm], [Flying Knee-Kick], or [Kidney Blow] no longer reduces the cooldown of the skill by 20%
• NEW: Using [Follow Up], [Exploding Palm], [Flying Knee-Kick], or [Kidney Blow] through [Gear Step] via [Stomp Shuffle] or [Steam Release] reduces the cooldown of the affected skill by 20%

/\c96\Impactor

[Intense Shock]

• Changed to only be one fat hit again (instead of 3 combo hit)
• NEW: has 50% critdmg non-crit compensation (meaning, you do 200% if you fail to crit instead of 100% normal damage)

/\c97\Lustre

Part of the healing nerf

[Eternal Light Soul] maximum healing cap reduced: 30% --> 15%

PvP Class Balancing

General

Some new additions to our Black Listed Map (Lost Temple BL) to encourage fairer BL play. The following will be disabled when using the map.

• All Transforms added to BL
• Arashi Ultimates added to BL

/\c12\Mercenary

Mercenary’s catch damage has been too good after the patch that made Dash Uppercut and SKC blow people up. We’re nerfing the dmg to slap Destroyer on the wrist and compensating some of the dmg as a flat buff to Barbarian.

• [Dash Uppercut] damage decreased: by 50%: 380% --> 190%

/\c25\Barbarian

• [Class Mastery] PATK increased: 5% --> 10%

/\c76\Dark Avenger

Dark Avenger is a class riddled with weird techs that allow for some interesting gameplay. We’re nerfing the CD on [Phase Blade] to allow for the Air Cast tech ([Phase Blade] projectile hits wall>failed animation>cast any skill in the air) to still be usable just less frequently. The rest are consistency fixes or removal of weird unwanted interactions.

• Disabled Cataclysm and [Enhanced Cataclysm] while using [Aerial Evasion]
• [Phase Blade] CD increased 15 --> 30 seconds
• Removed [Enhanced Vengeance Storm] on-wall hit action

/\c71\Grand Master

The class has been underperforming in both 1v1 BL and Group environments. We’re giving a slight flat DMG buff to hopefully put it in a better position.

• [Class Mastery] MATK Increase increased 15% --> 20%

/\c14\Sharpshooter

> Sharpshooter (especially Warden) has been extremely oppressive in Group PvP scenarios. We’re giving them a slap on the wrist to prevent their dominating presence in Group Scenarios.

• [Ankle Shot] CD increased 18 --> 22 seconds

/\c30\Warden

Slight DMG nerf for Group PvP but increased consistency in landing max hits with Frag Arrow EX on a direct hit.

• [Class Mastery] dmg increase decreased 15% --> 5%
• Pushback on [Frag Arrow EX's] 1st hit removed

/\c29\Sniper

A DMG buff to compensate for the longer Ankle CD.

• [Charged Shot EX] damage increase increased 30% --> 50%

/\c18\Mystic

Time Stop is an extremely oppressive skill at 30 seconds (24 seconds with a CD crest) so we’re taking power away from that and giving more power to some of their less utilized tools.

• [Time Stop] CD increased 30 --> 48 seconds
• [Black Hole] CD decreased 45 --> 30 seconds
• [Black Hole] damage increased 50%
• [Spectrum Ray] damage doubled

/\c37\War Mage

>War Mage’s poke and run playstyle has been extremely oppressive for a while. We’re nerfing that and in exchange to some power on their other tools.

• [Arcane Overdrive] damage buff decreased 15% --> 8%
• [Linear Ray EX] bonus dmg decreased 25-50% --> 12.5-25%

/\c4\Cleric

Fixing an error that was made when reverting the Kavapatch. Woops.

[Holy Kick] Lv6+ range fixed (increased by ~1.5m)

/\c41\Guardian

Giving Guardian some more unique tools to differentiate it from its counterpart a bit more. Divine Barrier has been largely useless after its SA buff was removed. We’re buffing its utility as a combo skill since it does decent DMG. We’re making Autoblock EX useful by giving Guardian a DMG ramp up system. The more you block through the round the more dmg you’ll do.

• [Divine Barrier] skill lockout reduced by ~30 frames
• [Autoblock EX] Guardian Grace’s now grant 1% phys dmg per stack

/\c22\Priest

A small nerf to deal with how annoying Chain Lightning is in group PvP.

• [Chain Lightning] bounce distance reduced by 50%

/\c5\Tinkerer

Reducing Tinkerer’s utility in Group and Wipeout settings. Yum-a-tron CD was criminally short and the CD crest allowed for some extremely unfun kiting gameplay.

• [Yum-a-tron] CD increased 100 --> 300 seconds
• [Roto-whirl] CD Crest removed from the game

/\c48\Gear Master

Taking some power away from Gear Master’s summoning ability and area control. 2 Ducks at once on a 15 second CD proved too oppressive for any class to handle.

• [Quackum Crash EX] removed ability to summon 2 ducks on one cast

/\c57\Dancer

Both Dancer specs have proved too oppressive in a 1v1 setting. Removing some power to keep them in check.

• [Whirligig] damage decreased by ~20%
• [Abolisher] CD increased 12 --> 16
• [Bladeflip] landing SA refresh removed

/\c58\Blade Dancer

Blade Dancer’s utility has been criminally overtuned. Some consistency nerfs and DMG nerfs have been implemented to keep it in line with other classes.

• [Bladeflip EX] landing SA refresh removed
• Disabled [Squall Spin] on Aerial Evade
• [Whirligig EX] coefficient decreased 50% --> 30%

/\c59\Spirit Dancer

> For some reason Dusk Hunter EX’s explosion was hitting way outside of its animation with an absurd AOE. Nerfed the AOE to match the animation closer.

• [Dusk Hunter EX] explosion horizontal aoe decreased by 50%

/\c55\Dark Summoner

Some Group PvP and Wipeout buffs for the class since it was underperforming in that environment. An increase in the RNG of its Class Mastery as well so that it will actually do something.

• [Chaos] damage increased 75% (9k --> 16k w/ max buffs)
• [Class Mastery] bubble chance increased 25 -->35%
• [Shadow Euphoria] duration increased 10 --> 15 seconds
• [Shadow Euphoria] damage increased increased 0 --> 5%

/\c7\Assassin

Ahhh the bane of our existence. Assassin is receiving some nerfs to its most oppressive skill to keep all specs in check.

• [Shadow Hand] CD increased 15 --> 18 seconds
• [Shadow Hand] Lv6+ SAb decreased 1100 --> 900

/\c67\Bringer

A largely forgotten class that has remained untouched due to lack of data. There’s a reason we call them Roy Classes. We’re reducing their sustain as well as overall DMG and utility nerfs to both specs.

• [Energetic Chakra] CD increased 15 --> 30 seconds
• [Rubicon] CD increased 20 --> 30 seconds
• [Rubicon] no longer able to be used as an escape
• [Outbreak] CD increased 9 --> 12 seconds
• [Outbreak] quick cast (left click) SAB fexd. decreased 400 --> 300
• [Outbreak] full cast last hit SAB fexd. increased 300 --> 400
• [Dark Line] damage decreased by 15%
• [Strike Ring] damage decreased by 30%

/\c91\Blood Phantom

Another overlooked class that has kept too much power. We’re reducing its effective tankiness by increasing the CD of their unique evasion and adjusting for some PvE required unintentional buffs to the class.

• [Air Receive] CD increased 23 --> 36 seconds
• BP gets a couple more SP
• [Class Mastery] AGI/STR increased decreased from 30% --> 25% (due to SP changes)

/\c45\Arashi

Turns out we released this class slightly overtuned. We’re good at our job… Increasing the CD of a bunch of skills to lower the class's access to utility and reducing some damage from awkward skills that probably should not have it.

• [Coil] CD increased 13 --> 18 seconds
• [Blink] Max Lvl CD increased 15 --> 20 seconds
• [Frigid Shards] damage decreased by 50%

/\c66\Rai

Hitting the classes utility by increasing its Feint skill’s CD and Lowering the SAB on the latent hits of its best engage tool.

• Phase max Lvl CD increased 20 --> 25 seconds
• Coil EX combo Attack's last hit sab decreased 400 --> 100

/\c8\Lencea

Removing its unjustified unique access to a lower CD on their tumble. Don’t tell Paden…

• Lencea Tumble CD Crest removed

/\c72\Piercer

Another largely overlooked class. Nerfing Dragoon mostly without stepping on Valkyrie’s shoes too much.

• Twirling Thrust CD increased 36 > 45 seconds

/\c73\Dragoon

Probably the strongest class in 1v1 BL environment currently. It’s utility and access to SAB, SA, and uncontested skills has left every class in an unfavorable position against it.Twirling Thrust EX is a skill with no counter with CDR, high SA, and fast SAB and Backflip Pierce is the best feint skill in the game. Nerfing those to match our current balancing standards.

• [Twirling Thrust EX] CD recovery on last hit reduced 5 --> 3 seconds
• [Backflip Pierce] 2nd hit SAb reduced 600 --> 400
• [Backflip Pierce] AoE reduced to match enhanced version (matches its animation better)
• [Backflip Pierce] CD increased 20 --> 25 seconds
• [Class Mastery] Weakpoint duration decreased 2.5 --> 1.5 seconds (takes more consideration to land the crucial weakpoints for more damage)

/\c95\Launcher

The classes Crisis skill is too strong and provides way too much sustain in a 1v1 BL environment.
