Slayer 2 V0.2 Update: Balance Changes, Ouwigahara Tokens and Titles

What changed in V0.2?

Ouwigahara Roguelike is open to everyone, with a new Lava Dungeon map, milestone Tokens, rotating Limited cosmetics and title perks. Combat changes are split between PvE, Ranked PvP and all modes; a Ranked-only change does not automatically apply to your boss-farming build.

This guide includes the supplied follow-up adjustments: halved Roguelike cosmetic prices, Series material at 20 Tokens and 7,500 Wen per Token.

Latest addition: Token gains from floor 30 onward are doubled, a 1-Token-to-5,000-Mastery exchange is available, and NPC scaling is reduced after floor 65.

PvE balance: NPCs and bosses

These changes apply against NPCs and bosses.

Ranked PvP only: combat rules and skills

These are Ranked PvP restrictions, not blanket PvE nerfs. Skills, items and passives can still heal.

Every Breathing and Demon Art mastery title has its own particles; season titles also show particles.

V0.2 Ouwigahara Tokens and shop prices

The latest V0.2 adjustment doubles Ouwigahara Token gains from floor 30 onward. Floors 10 and 20 are unchanged; the full-climb total is now 82 Tokens rather than the initial total.

Earn 82 Tokens on a full climb. These are separate from the Tower points used for the reward-room purchases. Changer Zeni’s Show tokens button opens token trades and shows your balance.

• Floors 10 / 20: 1 Token each. Floors 30 / 40: 4 Tokens each.
• Floors 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90: 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 16 Tokens. Summit: 20 Tokens.
• Rotating racks sell Limited outfits and accessories. The follow-up adjustment halves Roguelike cosmetic costs.
• Series material now costs 20 Tokens; inspect the offer for its material type and quantity.
• Wen exchange: 7,500 Wen per Token. Exchanging all 82 Tokens would yield 615,000 Wen, before any other rewards.
• Mastery exchange: 1 Ouwigahara Token → 5,000 Mastery. Choose whether to spend Tokens on Mastery, Wen, materials or cosmetics.

Ouwigahara access, title perks and Ranked cards

Use the updated access and run rules below. Ranked Roguelike card restrictions are separate from Ranked PvP combat balance.

• Ouwigahara access, Lava Dungeon and horses: The Ouwigahara Roguelike is now open to everyone. Lava Dungeon joins the tower’s floor maps. Horses are not allowed anywhere in Ouwigahara.
• Ouwigahara Token milestone rewards: 82 per full climb: Token milestones: floors 10 and 20 give 1 each; floors 30 and 40 give 4 each; floors 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 give 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 respectively; the summit gives 20. A full climb awards 82 Ouwigahara Tokens.
• Ouwigahara Token shop, Series materials and Wen exchange: Spend Ouwigahara Tokens on Limited outfits and accessories from rotating shop racks. Changer Zeni’s token trades are behind Show tokens, which displays your balance. The follow-up adjustment halves cosmetic item costs, reduces Series material to 20 Tokens, and increases Wen to 7,500 per Token.
• 19 Roguelike title perks and Unwritten first fall: 19 Roguelike titles give a perk when worn into a run, such as a starting card, an extra heart or a free reroll. Unwritten makes the first fall each run free and respawns you on the spawn pad. Tower run titles only count runs reaching floor 10.
• Toll Gate heart trade breaks Flawless: Trading a heart at the Toll Gate now breaks a Flawless climb.
• Ranked Roguelike excluded cards: Ranked Roguelike runs no longer offer Forbidden Art, Twin Souls or Twin Weapons, so everyone gets the same choices.

V0.2 follow-up: NPC scaling after floor 65

Ouwigahara NPC scaling is reduced after floor 65. The adjustment does not provide an exact percentage, new formula or a list of affected NPC stats.
