[Updates] Patch Notes - February 8, 2023

Ranger

Dev Note The Awakened Ranger can now react better thanks to improvements made to Spirit's Haven, which betters her ability to close the distance with her enemies, and Flow: Rushing Wind, which saw changes to the applied defensive effects. Though knockdown effects are activated through grapple or said ability to close in to enemies, certain skills had comparatively stronger PvP damage that would easily overwhelm opponents even without status effects. Thus, such skills have been adjusted. We have also adjusted Evasive Explosion Shot, a skill which recovers stamina and activates invincibility, as it allowed you to endlessly maintain the invincibility status.

• Rework Evasive Explosion Shot (I to Absolute) (Main Weapon) Changed to now cost Stamina instead of MP. Skill Cost: 38/55/60/60 MP → 50 Stamina Due to the above changes, you will no longer recover Stamina for the duration of defensive effects applied during the skill. Changed the PvP Damage Reduction Rate for the following skills: Nature's Tremble: -35% → -42% Wind Blade: -30% → -42.8% Regeneration: -55% → -65.4% 🔗

Wizard

Dev Note We've lessened the difficulty of using Awakened Wizard’s skills. Hellfire, which only activated upon contact with an enemy, can now be used whenever you want for greater diversity of combos.

Shai

Dev Note The method in which buffs are activated while using Shai's We're Gonna Win! skill has been improved. Before, the buffs were applied to allies in a fixed area when using the skill, and this proved to be inefficient with allies moving around and the area itself being small. Now, the skill will affect characters that the Shai is facing, thus allowing the Shai to buff allies in front of her instead of those in fixed areas.

Sage

Dev Note Following the reduction of stamina consumption of Prime: Rift Chain, we have further improved the Awakened Sage by stabilizing Prime: Spear Bolt and its combo into subsequent skills. In the case of some skills, however, PvP damage was too powerful compared to the stabilization of dealing damage. Thus, we have balanced skills with PvP damage that were deemed too high compared to their speed in activation.
