Around 8:20 PDT I went to Fantasy Theme Park. I found bots in 5 or 6 channels. After finding one free of bots I noticed my character's damage numbers changed to confusing stuff. Instead of numbers it shows symbols like !$#%&. I fear just staying close to bots might have mess this character. I went into Lubidrium to see if everything was still weird and it was. I changed channels, closed and opened the game again. Its still messed up. I changed to my main and that one was ok, no weird things going on.

I also checked if enemies did weird damage and they work as they are supposed to.

I have no idea of what to do with this. I'm thinking of running the repair function in the launcher but I don't know if it is going to be of any help.

Update 8:55 PDT: I ran the repair function and no dice. Went to Ellin Forest and my character still does weird numbers as damage. I've sent a message to support. I'm thinking of leaving him there until support responds.

Update 9:02 PDT: Ok, turns out that for some reason my Lumi has the Secret Sign Damage Skin... I have no idea when or where I got it. I only came back after a year and probably don't remember all I did. So yeah, panic attack.

Sorry about that

    Uh. Check your saved and currently in-use damage skins by clicking your character and the blue DAMAGE SKIN button at the bottom right. That's the Secret Sign damage skin in your screenshots.

    Edit: Don't worry about it, it was given out in some gift box like a year or two ago. I can't remember exactly when. But other people used it back then and were confused as well. There are a few ways to get the default damage skin back (Tower of Oz and Kritias), but for now it's probably faster to farm ARK coins and buy a random box from the event shop.
