Tons Of New Content Comes To Atlantica Online

With the New Year always comes lots of new stuff! Although Atlantica Online's latest content update may have occurred more in the middle of the month than later, content updates are always cool! With their January update, the team has made some pretty significant changes to their PvP balancing and Colosseum League. In particular, they have increased the HP of main characters and mercenaries, and they've also increased the chances for a double-hit attack to land. Spear Main users may also be overjoyed to learn that their attack power has been increased, and for many Sword Mercenary users, most of their abilities' damage has also been increased.

In addition to these PvP balance changes, the team has also decided that players can have up to two Lady Knight and Cannoneer mercenaries. As well, they have decided to unify Mana Stones in Atlantica Online, and now there will only be three stones, the Repair Stones, the Enchant Stones and the Enhance Stones, as opposed to having specific stones for Armor, Accessories and Weapons.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg! You can check out the full patch notes below, and you can also download out the game at the Atlantica Online website!
