Details regarding The First Descendant's final Technical beta test

The following are the patch notes added to the current beta test server:

  • Unusual skill action for Freyna when ‘Classic Maid Uniform’ skin is equipped. Found Freyna’s skill ‘Putrid Venom’ bursting right where the character stands instead of shooting forward when ‘Classic Maid Uniform’ skin is equipped.
  • Frenzied’ skill animation not returning for Gley when the head skin is equipped. Found Gley’s ‘Frenzied’ skill animation not returning to normal condition when head skin is equipped during ‘Frenzied’ mode.
  • Multiple Use of Reconstructed Device in Void Intercept Battle. Found Reconstructed Devices being used multiple times after completing Void Intercept Battle.

Regarding system errors, Intel's 13th and 14th Gen CPUs reported forced shutdowns. However, it seems that the issue can be temporarily resolved by setting power limits in BIOS.

The First Descendant final Technical test will be live until May 26 (Sunday), 23:59 PDT.
