Maehwa

Bugfix Frost Pillars Fixed the issue where combos weren't performed smoothly upon learning the Core version of the skill.

Dev Note We've improved on the damage, effects, and combos for Kunai Stab in Succession. Now the Fatal Blow - Flow: Fatal Blow Combo - Kunai Stab combo will be more efficient thanks to the added Stamina recovery effect, making it more viable in PvE. In addition, we added command inputs to Prime: Shackles, making it easier to combo into the skill.

Buff Prime: Shadow Explosion Changed the damage penalties for multiple targets to now only apply in PvP. - Improved to combo more smoothly into Shadow Clone.
Buff Kunai Stab Changed so Fatal Blow's damage will be applied to the skill damage, along with the following: * Fatal Blow's attack damage and critical hit rate * Fatal Blow's maximum number of targets * Fatal Blow's Skill Add-ons (Skill no longer has Skill Add-ons) - Improved to combo more smoothly into other skills.
Buff Prime: Shackles Changed the skill's motions, along with the following: * Unified the skill's attack area to the widest area. * Changed so the distance at which the skills attacks are applied has been narrowed so that all attacks are applied faster. - Improved so you can press SHIFT + C in idle stance to activate the skill. - Improved to combo more smoothly into Shadow Explosion and Shadow Clone. - Improved to combo more smoothly after Prime: Ankle Cutter, Prime: Fox Claw, Prime: Shadow Explosion, or Prime: Shadow Clone.
QoL Prime: Shadow Brand Added the Assassin's Mark effect to the following skills: * Prime: Fox Claw (I to III) * Prime: Shackles

Drakania

Dev Note Just as Awakening Drakania's uniqueness becomes more apparent the better you become at utilizing the correct skill at the right moment, we decided to implement both big and small improvements to her combos. Also, to reduce some of her clunkiness, we increased the activation speed and attack area of certain Dragonblood skills.
