Skill Tree Reset Options
The ability to reset your skill tree is a major quality-of-life improvement in this Clover Retribution update. Previously, players were locked into their choices, making experimentation difficult. Now, several avenues are available to reallocate skill points, catering to different playstyles and resource availability.
Wizard King Reset
- Free, one-time reset for Intermediate Magic Knight Rank 4 and above.
- Easiest method for high-ranking players.
- Accessible by talking to the Wizard King.
Elixir of Reflection
- Craftable potion costing 62,600 Gold.
- Requires specific rare materials from mission board orders.
- Offers a free-to-play, repeatable reset option.
Robux Purchase
- Instant reset for 750 Robux (675 with Plus subscription).
- Convenient for players who prefer to avoid grinding.
- Available directly from the in-game shop.
The introduction of these options provides much-needed flexibility, allowing players to adapt their builds to new metas or simply correct past mistakes without significant penalty.
Crafting the Elixir of Reflection requires specific runes and spirit feathers. These items, such as the Rune of Endless Tides, have a small chance to drop from mission board orders, with higher chances for higher Magic Knight ranks.
Magic Knight Ranking and Quests
The Magic Knight ranking system has received an overhaul, with new quests and promotion mechanics designed to provide a clearer progression path. Players can now earn Skill Points (SP) through promotions, which are essential for unlocking nodes in the expanded skill trees.
Enroll as a Magic Knight
Reach at least Level 100 and talk to the Wizard King in Clover Capital to enroll. You will start as Junior Magic Knight 1.
Complete Orders and Gain XP
Take orders from the mission board in Clover Capital. These offer significant XP with a 10-minute cooldown. Normal questing also contributes to XP.
Undertake Promotion Quests
Once enough XP is accumulated, the mission board will offer a promotion quest. Complete this to rank up.
Earn Skill Points (SP)
Each promotion rewards SP, which are used to unlock nodes in the various skill trees.
Manage Promotion Cooldowns
Promotions have a cooldown, starting at 26 minutes for Junior Magic Knight 1 and increasing by 6 minutes per rank.
This structured progression system encourages active participation in the game's world, ensuring players are rewarded for their dedication. The addition of 25 new quests to the mission board provides ample opportunities for advancement, reducing reliance on specific, potentially difficult, tasks.
| Magic Knight Rank | Promotion Cooldown (Minutes) | Key Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Junior Magic Knight 1 | 26 | Skilled Trait, SP |
| Intermediate Magic Knight 4 | 50 | Free Skill Reset Option, SP |
| Senior Magic Knight 1 | 74 | Increased Order Item Drop Rates, SP |
| Grand Magic Knight 4 | 98 | Max SP, Elite Perks |
For players farming spins, it's advisable not to exceed Intermediate Magic Knight Rank 4, as orders become progressively harder at higher ranks. This allows for more efficient farming of specific resources.
Combat and Magic Adjustments
The Clover Retribution update includes several reworks and bug fixes impacting combat and magic, most notably for Dark and Wind magic, as well as Devil Union and Spirit Dive mechanics. These adjustments aim to balance power levels and resolve previous exploits.
Summary of Combat Adjustments:
| Feature | Old State | New State | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inventory Load | Slow, noticeable delays | Significantly faster loading | Improved user experience, less downtime |
| Broom Flying | Fast on PC, less effective on mobile/console | Reworked speed, increased height, 3-sec speed boost | Better for mobile/console, slower for PC veterans |
| Legion | Macro-friendly, strong | Pieces have health bars, draw aggro, despawn if far | Massive nerf, prevents Kraken macroing |
| Crits | Standard mechanics | Reworked, making Dark magic extremely powerful | Dark magic builds now highly effective |
| Level Cap | 405 | 500 | Requires more grinding for max level prestiges |
| Spirit Dives | No mana cost to sustain | Now cost mana to sustain, toggleable | Requires resource management |
| Aetherion's Blessing & Devil Union | Could be used together, bugged interactions | No buffs from Aetherion's Blessing with Devil equipped | Fixes exploit, balances power |
| Devil Union % Cap | Lower | Increased to 45% | More control over Devil Union, future mana costs |
| Shadow Magic | Not available | Added with unique spells, no 4L spell yet | New build possibilities, currently no stat scaling |
| Wind Magic | Extremely powerful, 3-second Kraken kills | Nerfed, Kraken kills now 8-10 seconds | Balanced power, still strong but not overpowered |
Shadow Magic, a new addition, offers unique abilities like Night Coffin, which can deal thousands of damage. While it currently lacks stat scaling (making 100% CON builds optimal), its potential is significant. The rework of Devil Union and Spirit Dive checks should prevent previous bugs where players could combine incompatible abilities.
Shadow Magic's Night Coffin spell is exceptionally strong, capable of massive damage with the right build, despite currently having no stat scaling. This makes it a prime candidate for future meta builds.
Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Improvements
Numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life adjustments have been implemented to enhance overall game stability and player experience. These changes demonstrate the ongoing commitment to refining Clover Retribution.
Key Bug Fixes and Improvements:
- Fixed True Path Soul Fragment functionality.
- Resolved issues with Key Grimmoire and Imitation Grimmoire.
- Corrected Morningstar's Blessing to provide proper buffs.
- Reworked checks for Devil Union and Spirit Dive to avoid conflicts.
- Added 25 new quests to the Magic Knight ranking system.
- Fixed issues with various rings and their interactions.
- Shadow Magic can no longer hit party members in safe zones.
- Players no longer lose active quests upon death, a significant QoL improvement.
The fix for not losing active quests upon death is a particularly welcome change, reducing frustration for players tackling challenging content. These continuous improvements contribute to a more polished and enjoyable gaming environment for all.
