Highlights from today's official KR dev livestream. Content is scheduled for the August 12 update unless noted.

• Pet Genus Insight: Auto-analysis re-rolls Cogni Genus stats until it hits your set minimum grade.

System & QoL

• Set Skin: A "My Skin" toggle shows your own character's look even while wearing a set outfit.
• Battlefield: Idle non-combatants are warned, then removed.
• Matchmaking: Solo or 5-player parties only; solo queues get cross-team class balancing.
• Co-op Arena / Battlefield: Same-team matching regardless of Genus.
• Ishalgen server short name changed to "Halgen."
• Wardrobe Synthesis auto-register expanded to 30 slots.

Class Changes

• Brawler: Ferocity reworked (90s cooldown, fixed 10s duration); Domain Summon duration 10s → 30s.
• Gladiator: Skill-cancel timing shifts to the 2nd hit; Ruinous Blow cooldown 30s → 45s; core strikes +3% PvE damage.
• Cleric / Chanter: Healing skills and the Heal Boost stat rebalanced (Heal Boost capped at ~300%); Chanter's Dark Crush / Piercing Strike -7% PvP damage.

Per-Class Concept Enhancement

Larger reworks are coming to make each class feel more distinct. Rather than banning macros, the team is changing skill mechanics so timing matters more. A phased, class-by-class rollout begins Aug 26 — and no class has been abandoned.

Q&A

• Cheating: Accounts using unauthorized programs were traced (Ghana via Starlink + VPN), suspended, and referred to legal; overseas IPs blocked.
• Server Transfer: 1st-round users can transfer again in the 2nd round — rounds are separate.
• Sanctuary: Likely early September.
• New character: Concept is done, now in modeling.
• Regions: Separate teams handle KR / TW / CN / JP, KR is not consumed by Global prep.
• Pet auto-loot will be toggleable next update.
