🔥 Nine Tails Rework: A Game-Changer for Trigger-Based Builds
One of the most impactful changes in this patch is the overhaul of Nine Tails’ skill, Phantom Pact. Previously an active skill that cleansed allies and boosted trigger-type skill activation chances, it has now been divided into a passive and an active component:
- Passive: Upon entering battle, increases the trigger chance of all allied trigger-type skills by (3% +1% per level).
- Active: Removes Bite, Serious Wound, and DoT effects from all allies. Additionally, after any allied Immortal casts an Ultimate Skill, it restores HP to the most damaged allied troop (Recovery Rate: 69% +23% per level) for 6 seconds.
While getting her skills buff to trigger chance as a passive instead of an active buff, means a much more reliable and effective use of the the skills strenghts in combination with chance ultimates like Wu’s or Loki’s as well as big damage skills like Annihilation and Infinite Firepower.
But while this is a clear buff, we also see her unique artifact being changed. From an additional 5% trigger chance to 30% healing done. While I think this is a slight nerf because you want Ninetails: One to hard-counter Poseidon, and two to provide trigger chance. The healing done is not huge from her, but hey – maybe 30% more will change that!
- Nine Tails’ unique artifact now enhances the healing effect by 30%.
Strategic Implications
This rework significantly elevates Nine Tails’ utility in trigger-based team compositions. The passive increase in trigger chance synergizes exceptionally well with Immortals like Wu Zetian, Baldwin IV, and Loki, who rely heavily on triggered skills. The active component’s cleansing and healing capabilities further bolster team survivability, making Nine Tails a versatile asset in various setups.
🛠️ Quality-of-Life Enhancements
Skill Details Sharing
Players can now share details of Immortal active skills, Tower of Knowledge skills, and Dragon skills directly in chat channels. This facilitates better communication and strategy sharing within alliances and the broader community.
Alliance Internal Rankings
New internal rankings have been introduced for alliances, covering:
- Strongest Troop Power
- Total Troop Number
- Lord Honor
These rankings provide a clearer picture of individual contributions and can aid in strategic planning and recognition within alliances.
Interface Optimizations
- Stellar Compass: Drop rates for each item are now viewable, offering greater transparency.
- Official Post Appointment: Player avatars are now displayed, enhancing the visual appeal and clarity of appointments.
- Tower of Knowledge: The interface now shows equipped Immortals alongside their skills, making it easier to manage and strategize skill allocations.
Alliance Leadership Adjustments
The rank required to initiate a forced impeachment within an alliance has been changed from R3 to R4. This adjustment ensures that only higher-ranking members can initiate such significant changes, promoting stability and thoughtful leadership transitions.
🎯 Conclusion
Patch v2.8.4 brings meaningful improvements to Infinity Kingdom, enhancing both strategic depth and user experience. The rework of Nine Tails opens up new possibilities for trigger-based team compositions, while the quality-of-life enhancements streamline gameplay and alliance management. Players are encouraged to explore these changes and adapt their strategies to maximize their effectiveness on the battlefield.
