2. New Feature — Roguelike PvP Progression (Boosts)

The highlight of this update is the “Boosts” system, an entirely new gameplay feature located in a hidden alley behind Anteiku. Here, you’ll meet Furuta, the NPC responsible for enabling server-based stat scaling and buffs.

How the Boosts System Works

Every time you join a server, your progression begins from base stats.

As you fight NPCs, players, or bosses, you gain Boosts — temporary stat enhancements that last for your entire play session.

Once you leave or switch servers, your Boost progress resets (like a roguelike run).

This encourages longer play sessions, server loyalty, and a fresh progression loop each time you log in.

Core Features of Boosts:

Type	Description
Roguelike Scaling	Each session, you grow stronger based on your combat success.
Buff Variety	Randomized buff selection with different effects — every run feels different.
Persistent per Server	Boosts remain active as long as you stay in the same server.
Affects All Combat	Applies to bosses, players, and NPCs — but not in Arena mode.
New Meta Layer	Encourages adaptive gameplay, rewarding aggressive PvP and survival.

This system blends roguelike design with Ro-Ghoul’s PvP foundation — creating a new layer of challenge where every fight, death, and victory matters.

How to Access Furuta and Start Boosts

Spawn in near Anteiku.

Head to the alley behind the café.

Find Furuta, the NPC who offers the new Boost options.

Accept the prompts to enable server progression.

Begin fighting to build your scaling buffs.

The more you fight — and the longer you survive — the stronger you’ll become.

3. Damage System Recode

One of the most impactful technical overhauls in this patch is the complete rewrite of the damage calculation system.

Previously, Ro-Ghoul’s damage scripts were messy and inconsistent, leading to inaccurate scaling, poor hit registration, and bugs across abilities. This update fixes those core issues.

What Changed:

Damage scripts rebuilt from the ground up.

Accurate scaling for all moves, weapons, and kakuja forms.

Fixed miscalculations for Arata Gyakusatsu, ensuring fair damage output.

Better synchronization between hits and visual effects.

Reduced desync and delay in PvP engagements.

This means smoother fights, more reliable combos, and proper scaling across all forms — a massive improvement for competitive players.

4. Block Visual Rework (VFX Update)

Blocking has also been visually reworked with a full VFX redesign.

Block VFX Changes:

New visual animation: Brighter, clearer energy effects make it easier to track successful blocks.

Doesn’t drop when killed: The block effect now persists properly and won’t visually “fall apart” on death.

Refined appearance: The block stance and visuals now look more stable and distinct, improving clarity during fights.

Overall, these improvements make defensive play more satisfying and readable in intense PvP scenarios.

5. Arata Gyakusatsu Fix

The Arata Gyakusatsu damage bug — one of the more persistent issues — has been resolved.
Previously, its damage scaling would misfire under certain conditions, causing inconsistent results in duels and raids. After this patch:

• Damage now scales accurately with RC and Boost multipliers.
• Cooldown and frame data remain unchanged.

6. Arena Mode Exception

Boosts do not apply to Arena Mode to preserve competitive balance.
Your roguelike stat progression is meant for open-world PvP, bosses, and free roam fights, not structured dueling environments.

7. Strategy Tips for the Boosts Update

1. Stay in the Same Server

Since Boosts reset on server change, stick to one server as long as possible to maximize power stacking.

2. Hunt Early

Start fighting NPCs or weak players early in a session — the faster you gain your first few Boosts, the easier it becomes to snowball.

3. Mix PvE and PvP

Both give progress, so alternating between them keeps growth steady while avoiding risk.

4. Guard More Often

With the new Block VFX, it’s easier to time parries and counters. Use it to bait aggressive players.

5. Use Furuta Wisely

If you notice buffs stacking inefficiently, reset your run and re-engage strategically. Some random buffs synergize better depending on your build.

The [BOOSTS] update is easily one of the most exciting Ro-Ghoul patches in years. By adding roguelike elements and rewarding extended sessions, it gives players a reason to stay, fight, and dominate servers longer than ever before. Combined with the cleaner damage engine and enhanced visuals, this marks a major step forward for the game’s longevity and competitive depth.
