Patch Notes - 11th March 2020

Warrior

• QoL Prime: Ground Slash Removed the Critical Hit Rate effect of Prime: Ground Slash skills. 🔗
• Rework Prime: Take Down Changed the cooldown for Prime: Take Down from 7 to 13 seconds. 🔗
• Rework Prime: Scars of Dusk Changed the damage dealt by Prime: Scars of Dusk skills as follows. I: Hit Damage 1042% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1355% x5 → Hit Damage 938% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1220% x5; II: Hit Damage 1162% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1510% x5 → Hit Damage 1046% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1359% x5; III: Hit Damage 1282% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1666% x5 → Hit Damage 1154% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1450% x5 🔗
• Nerf Prime: Take Down Lengthened the cooldown of Prime: Take Down. 🔗
• QoL Prime: Take Down Prime: Take Down allows your character to grab his target regardless of the target's blocks or CC status effects. Even if the grab fails, because the cooldown for this skill is relatively short the skill could be used in quick succession until the grab succeeds. Therefore we decided to lengthen the skill's cooldown. 🔗

Sorceress

• Bugfix Fixed the issue where Shard Explosion would not hit any targets when used by a character set to the shortest possible height customization. 🔗

Berserker

• Bugfix Prime: Raging Thunder Fixed the issue where the duration of Prime: Raging Thunder was shortened when using the skill while moving. 🔗

Musa

Dev Note We also reworked the Awakening skills Projection, Flow: Extra Credit, and Flow: Backflow, to be easier to combo in different ways, especially focusing on how Projection and Flow: Extra Credit pushes their targets so far that it was hard to follow up with a combo during PvE.

• Nerf Prime: Serene Mind With Succession, the Musa can use the Prime: Serene Mind buff to consume Stamina to continue using strong skills during their cooldowns. This includes skills with block and CC status effects, which we have observed is making Musa a difficult opponent. Therefore we introduced a cooldown for Prime: Serene Mind in the Global Lab. However, this change weakened one of the defining characteristics of Musa's Succession and made the class weaker in both PvE and PvP. This is why we decided to instead make the damage of certain skills less when used during cooldown when the Prime: Serene Mind buff is in effect. 🔗
• Nerf Flow: Extra Credit Reduced the attack ranges of Projection and Flow: Extra Credit. Therefore these skills will push targets less far. 🔗
• QoL Flow: Extra Credit You can now combo Flow: Extra Credit faster after Projection. 🔗

• QoL Below the Belt You can now combo Flow: Backflow after Below the Belt by pressing+ LMB or ← + LMB. 🔗

• Bugfix Ultimate: Musa Spirit Fixed the issue where you could not get the Prime: Serene Mind buff while using Ultimate: Musa Spirit. 🔗

Maehwa

• Rework Sticky Snowflake Maehwa's Awakening skills would have been especially affected by the accuracy effect changes of this week, especially when it came to their uniqueness and utility. Therefore we adjusted the attack range and damage of certain skills and added an All Evasion Rate reduction effect to Sticky Snowflake skills so that Maehwa's Awakening skills can still maintain some of their characteristics. 🔗
• QoL Sticky Snowflake Added an "All Evasion Rate -3%" effect to successful hits of Sticky Snowflake skills. 🔗
• Bugfix Sticky Snowflake Corrected the attack range of Sticky Snowflake skills to better match their graphical effects. 🔗

Kunoichi

• Bugfix Fixed the issue where the Sah Chakram briefly became transparent in between using Lunatic Discus and Danse Macabre. 🔗
• QoL Prime: Flash Slash The Succession skills Prime: Flash Slash and Black Spirit: Prime: Flash Slash not only deal high damage but also has Super Armor and Invincible effects and even allows you to move during the skill. Therefore we decided to adjust the PvP damage dealt by these skills. 🔗

Ninja

Dev Note We have also adjusted the duration of continuous damage effects such as burn, poison, and bleeding damage effects. They caused so much damage they rendered HP Potions effectively useless for long periods, but these effects should now be better contained within the duration of a battle.

• Rework When you compare the Succession skills of Ninja that of Kunoichi, with whom he has many skills in common, Ninja's skills have greater attack range and faster combos that can deal high damage. This meant that it was possible to defeat characters with high DP even with relatively low AP. Therefore, we have adjusted the PvP damage dealt by certain skills. 🔗
• QoL Awakening: Narusawa's Sura Katana In addition, since the only skill to switch from Shortsword to Sura Katana mode was Awakening: Narusawa's Sura Katana we have amended Sudden Decapitation to allow transition from Shortsword to Sura Katana mode. 🔗

Striker

• Bugfix Fixed the text issue with the descriptions of the following skills. 🔗
• Bugfix Fixed some typos and phrasings in the following skills. 🔗
• Nerf Prime: Discharge Energy A primary feature of Striker Succession skills is Prime: Discharge Energy and its effect. However using the Prime: Discharge Energy effect makes your character sluggish, which frustrated many adventurers. This is why we have reduced the sluggishness when using Prime: Discharge Energy and made it easier to combo smoothly, in a way that still befits a skill that is supposed to discharge energy. We have also made it so that Flash Step will be strengthened after Succession so it will be easier to move while using core Striker skills. 🔗

Mystic

Dev Note We envisioned Mystic's Succession skills to be used in chains of attacks. However certain skills could not be used consecutively during cooldown, disrupting potential combos. This is why we have changed these skills so that they can be used consecutively even during cooldown. Also, since it was harder to move Mystic with her Succession skills compared with her Awakening skills, we have reworked Succession: Flash Step so it can be used three times consecutively after Succession.
