Greetings, Rune Hunters.
I'm Seong Seop Song, the director of UNDECEMBER.
In our previous Director's Letter, we first shared the overarching direction of the New Age Season and the major skill overhaul.
Today, as an extension of that, we would like to share a more in-depth story regarding the Skill and Link Rune overhaul, which will undergo the most significant changes ever with this New Age Season.
1. Background and Purpose of the Rune Overhaul
Until now, UNDECEMBER has strived to mitigate the issue of extremely low pick rates of specific Rune builds and to provide diverse build options through numerous balance patches.
However, there were clear limits to changing the gameplay style itself through numerical adjustments alone.
Even if damage was slightly increased or scaling were adjusted, the experience and playstyle gained through gameplay did not differ significantly from before, and we judged that this was insufficient to meet the expectations for the new season.
Accordingly, the development team set a goal of 'Changing the play experience itself, not just adjusting strength and weakness,' and proceeded with a more extensive and fundamental Skill and Link Rune overhaul.
2. Problems with Current Runes
Looking at the currently unpopular Runes among UNDECEMBER's skills, there are common issues.
Runes that have high setting difficulty or require excessively strict conditions to achieve maximum efficiency have very low pick rates, regardless of their content performance.
While these Runes can be powerful in certain scenarios, the heavy setup and high-maintenance playstyle often drive Rune Hunters toward more consistent and straightforward options.
Because of this, some skills were not chosen due to design limitations, despite having sufficient potential.
In this overhaul, we are focusing most heavily on resolving these design problems.
3. Direction of the Balance Overhaul
The Skill and Link Rune overhaul for the New Age Season does not stop at simply buffing the numbers of unpopular Runes, but focuses on resolving the fundamental cause of 'Why is the adoption rate low?'
First, we are easing Rune usage conditions overall.
We are moving away from mechanics that require maintaining specific states or durations to reach peak performance, allowing these skills to be effective even during the natural flow of combat.
Accordingly, for some skills, key effects such as Cooldown removal—which were only provided at the Awakening stage—will be moved to the base effect, or the conditions to reach maximum effect will be drastically eased to lower the difficulty of build setting.
Second, we are strengthening Rune interactions and synergies.
We are adding new debuff effects to some Runes so that they are not just used as standalone skills, but can provide additional advantages when combined with other Runes.
Through this, we hope that Traps and Cooldown-based skills will not remain sidelined in a supportive role but can be utilized as the bread and butter that drives the efficiency of the entire build.
Third, we are expanding the mechanism where additional effects occur depending on the setting method.
We are improving Runes so that the same Rune can be utilized completely differently depending on the equipped weapon type, intending to more clearly reveal the difference in playstyle based on your choices.
Fourth, we are restructuring Rune tags and role definitions.
We plan to modify tags that did not match the actual usage method, or updating skill classifications to better reflect their roles, allowing players to make more intuitive choices at a glance when selecting Runes.
Fifth, we are proceeding with bold reworks for Runes where the design of the existing effect is deemed outdated.
We plan to redesign attack methods, hit registration, and damage applications so that each skill possesses a distinct identity and role.
We hope that through this overhaul, rather than a design that forces you to follow specific 'meta' builds, the process of understanding and combining the characteristics of each Rune itself will become another fun aspect of UNDECEMBER's combat.
4. Examples of Major Changes

In addition to this, numerous Skills and Link Runes will be adjusted to more clearly define their respective roles and identities.
Detailed numerical values and additional changes will be provided through future update notes.
To conclude,
The Skill and Link Rune overhaul for this New Age Season is not simply a process of finding a strong build, but aims to be a change that makes you reconsider how you will approach each fight.
We hope this serves as an opportunity for familiar skills to feel completely different, and for skills that were forgotten for a while to show new possibilities.
The development team will continue to prioritize the play experience of our Rune Hunters and strive to present better combat and more diverse builds.
Thank you.
