Type Soul: The Hell & Bio-Rebalance Update (July-Sept 2025)

This major update combines the massive Hell Update with the subsequent Bio-Rebalance patch, introducing significant new features, a new race, and a complete overhaul of game balance.

Key New Features (Hell Update)

• The Hellverse: A new high-risk, high-reward area. Engaging in PvP in Hell can cause you to lose "Soul Wisps." Losing all wisps traps your character in Purgatory, forcing you to fight a clone of yourself to escape.
• New Race - Fullbringer: The long-awaited Fullbringer race has been added, bringing a completely new playstyle to the game.
• New Crafting System: A crafting system has been implemented, allowing for new ways to create and enhance items.
• Reworked Loot Pools: Item drops have been completely reworked. Each game mode (Raids, Ranked, Clan Wars, etc.) now has its own unique loot pool.
• New Game Modes: Culling Games (faction-based PvP), Soul Wars, and Reiatsu Bomb have been added or updated.

Major Balance Overhaul & Rebalance (All Updates)

These updates brought some of the most significant balance changes in the game's history.

Global Changes

• **Reiatsu Regeneration Nerf:** Reiatsu regen for all races was drastically reduced from 10% to 3%.
• **Essence & Ultra Skills:** These now share the same equipment slot, meaning you can no longer equip both simultaneously (Note: This was later reverted in the Bio-Update).
• **Hybrid Race Removed:** The Hybrid race has been removed from the game. Players who had it received item compensation.
• **Ranked & Clan Wars Merged:** These two game modes have been combined.
• **Parry Frames Reverted:** The parry system has been reverted to an older, more familiar version.

Quincy Changes

• Cybernetic now prevents the use of Letzt Stil.
• Letzt Stil no longer grants health packs upon use.
• The Quincy submode no longer provides healing.

Shinigami (Soul Reaper) Changes

• The healing from the Vizard mask has been reduced.

Arrancar Changes

• Arrancars are now limited to only one Partial Resurrección.
