The hotfix is finally here and hopefully, the changes to the Void Erosion Purge missions will be as effective as we all hope. Read on to see the The First Descendant 1.2.7 Patch notes.
Void Erosion missions were designed as end-game content, where you can get materials needed to improve your weapons. The devs realized that the game is very Skill-heavy at the moment and wanted to make weapons more viable. Whenever you complete a Void Erosion Purge stage, another, more difficult one, will open. Unfortunately, those missions turned out to be either lackluster or irritatingly difficult to beat. The players voiced their thoughts time and time again, and Nexon promised to make some major changes to Void Erosions in the 1.2.7 Hotfix, that just went live.
The First Descendant 1.2.7 Patch Notes
On February 13, The First Descendant devs released a hotfix, with the aim of changing and improving various aspects of Void Erosion missions. Furthermore, this patch adds the already massively popular Hot Springs skins, as well as new events and more.
