Battle Changes

Stackable debuff resistance has been applied to certain foes for the following solo quests.

The debuff success rates for effects that prevent foes from attacking (such as Paralyze or Sleep) will gradually diminish as you land that same debuff on the same foe. However, this change will only be noticeable when those effects are repetitively landed, and it should not affect your battle results unless you highly rely on those debuffs.
Stackable debuff resistance for the following effects has been lowered for certain foes. After this update, those effects will be less likely to miss even if that effect has been previously landed on the same foe.
```
           Subject Effects
```
• Break Extended (Time)
• Break Extended (DMG)
• Gravity
• Petrified
The skill voices for Beatrix will now reflect her outfit settings.
New skill voices have been added for Beatrix's Racing Suit outfit.
New skill voices have been added for Beatrix that play when Zeta, Vaseraga, Eustace, or Ilsa is in the same party.
Animation for certain skills that have Debuff immunity effect has been changed.

Once the game has been updated, a notice to that effect will appear in game.
