This shift is the highlight of the update. If you have been running Graces like Jurojin, Fukurokuju, or Vaisravana, you are going to notice a significant jump in your numbers. By moving to Damage Bonuses, these sets now scale more effectively with your actual output rather than just adding to your base attack rating. It is a subtle change on paper, but for those pushing through high-level Yokai encounters, it means your specialized builds will hit much harder than they did last week.
The General of Ruin set also received this conversion, making it a much more viable contender for those who prefer heavy-hitting Samurai styles. Beyond the damage tweaks, Team NINJA has addressed several mechanical frustrations that were hampering specific playstyles. The Yokai Annihilator set, for instance, finally has its Faster Ki Recovery (Low Life) bonus working correctly. Previously, this perk simply failed to activate, leaving players in critical health without the speed boost they needed to escape or counter-attack.
Ki management as a whole should feel more consistent after this patch. A bug affecting Sacred Water has been squashed; previously, the Ki recovery scaling was not calculating correctly, often providing less of a benefit than intended. With this fix, your stamina management during intense boss fights should feel significantly more reliable. Whether you are a master of the Ninja arts or a heavy-armored Samurai, Ver. 1.07 provides the tuning needed to make your chosen gear sets feel truly powerful again.
