Greetings, Descendants.
Here are the major issues that were found for The First Descendant in April.
We will continually update this notice with any additional issues and bugs that are found, as well as any impactful issues identified before April. Please keep track of the updates during your gameplay.
[April 29th]
■ (#7)(Resolved) An issue where the Battle Pass Week 12 Weekly Challenge 'Defense' mission fail to reset on Xbox
- This issue is scheduled to be fixed once the 1.3.27 patch is complete on Xbox.
[April 27th]
■ (#8)(Resolved) An issue where Sharen's attacks pass through terrain and hit enemies when using the 'Release Cutting Force' skill after equipping the 'Release Cutting Force' module
■ (#8)(Resolved) An issue where Viessa's passive skill 'Ice Explosion' triggers even on targets that are immune to 'Frostbite'
■ (#6)(Resolved) An issue where Viessa's passive skill 'Ice Sphere' regenerates even when attacking while mounted on a vehicle
| # Designer's Comment - Currently, when a toggle-type skill is active and the player mounts a vehicle, skill casting ends. The baseline for buff skills that grant status effects over a duration was to maintain those effects when mounting a vehicle. - However, while it was intended for buffs with granted status effects to remain active upon mounting (e.g., Bunny's ‘Lightning Emission’ skill), having new stacks of those buffs added while on a vehicle was not in line with our baseline. - In Viessa's case, continuing to attack while mounted after "Ice Sphere" has already been applied was considered normal behavior. However, we have determined that new "Ice Sphere" instances being generated again while on a vehicle is inconsistent with our baseline. - This situation had existed previously, but we have confirmed that simply moving while mounted allows players to continuously eliminate surrounding enemies, resulting in efficiency beyond our intended scope. We plan to address the related behavior to align it with our baseline. Going forward, skill behavior while mounted will be applied under the same consistent standard. |

■ (#4)(Resolved) Notice on Upcoming Improvements to the 'Restored Relic' Explosion Effect
- With the Update 1.3.25, a new option 'Show Battle Effect' has been added, allowing players to adjust whether other Descendants' battle effects are displayed.
- However, this option only applies to other Descendants' battle effects, and individual adjustment of one's own effects is currently not available.
- As a result, we have identified that the explosion effect triggered when using the 'Restored Relic' weapon is being displayed excessively, causing inconvenience such as obstructed visibility during combat. We sincerely apologize for not giving this matter sufficient consideration.
- Through the upcoming Patch 1.3.26 scheduled for next week, we plan to adjust the explosion effect caused by the use of 'Restored Relic' to minimize any inconvenience during gameplay.
[April 13th ]
■ (#2)(Resolved) An issue where the immune state of the Commander monster is not being released in 'Void Vessel-072 Assumed Bridge Zone'
- An issue has been identified where, after entering Phase 2 of the Commander monster 'Dread Armor Force' using Dia's 'Snowflake Clash' skill, the immune state fails to be lifted upon destroying the Shield.
- We are currently investigating this issue and will deploy a fix as soon as the cause is identified.
[April 2nd]
■ (#2)(Resolved) An issue where the combat HUD would occasionally be displayed late upon starting a Mission, and players would join Party Voice Chat with a delay
- This issue is currently under investigation, and we will provide a fix as soon as the cause is identified.
■ (#2)(Resolved) An issue where the Research Acceleration Effect was displayed lower than the actual applied value during “Void Erosion Purge: Normal Stage 10”
- We have identified an issue where the Research Acceleration Effect is displayed as 100 seconds when clearing the “Eroded Vulgus Reactor” and “Twisted Ancestors Facility” during “Void Erosion Purge: Normal Stage 10”.
- This issue only affects the displayed value, and the actual Research Acceleration Effect is correctly applied as 150 seconds.
- This issue is scheduled to be fixed in the 1.3.25 Update.
■ An issue where the “The Reborn Assassins” Head Skin (Dia) model is displayed abnormally
- We have identified an issue where, when equipping the “The Reborn Assassins” Head Skin (Dia), parts of the model overlap with the body skin.

■ Intel CPU Issue
- Crashes have been reported on some Intel 13th and 14th generation CPUs.
