Corsair
Dev Note A fundamental element of Corsair's movement skills is the way Smooth Sailin' combos with the Mareca Swing. However, the cooldown of Smooth Sailin' was disrupting the natural fluidity of these movements, so we decided to make Smooth Sailin' usable during cooldown in order to improve its fluidity and make the skill more dynamic. On top of that, skills that couldn't be chained after movement skills (such as Smooth Sailin' or Riding Waves), were changed to allow them to be comboable. Corsair's unique moveset can now inflict more aggressive attacks. We also felt Mermaid skills were weak when it came to combos. So, we made changes to allow smoother comboing with other skills and also adjusted their attack range to make them easier to perform. We also tweaked the Whirling Slash and Storm Surge skills as these attacks were difficult to land on targets. We noticed it was particularly difficult to land hits with Whirling Slash as it didn't have any collision, so we changed this skill to include collisions when performed while moving forward. This will enable forward-moving attacks to land on targets more easily, but be aware that the sideway attacks will still not include collision with targets. As for Storm Surge, we removed the start-up motion so that the skill activates quicker.
