[Updates] Patch Notes - March 15 2023

Tamer

Dev Note Tamers have always had movement options limited to solely the Evasion and Legendary Beast's Power skills. Particularly known for "hopping" around with forward Evasion, the lack of any defensive effects at the end of the skill was a clear Achilles Heel of the class. To address this weakness, we decided to grant her the Super Armor effect at the end of Evasion, while slightly increasing the Stamina cost. We also improved Tree Climb to further bolster any areas where Tamer’s movement skills were lacking. For Succession, we changed the defensive effect for Prime: Roaring, one of her major skills, into Super Armor so that Tamer would have the means to deal damage for both individual and group skirmishes. Also, we noticed that Prime: Allround Spinner wasn't being used as frequently, so we adjusted the skill to now maintain Forward Guard while dealing a decent amount of damage. For Awakening, we changed the starting portions of Skyreach to now grant the Invincibility effect, thus allowing the Tamer to utilize this skill to either break through or retreat from enemy lines.

• Bugfix Evasion (I to III) (All) Changed the defensive effects and Stamina cost of the skill as follows.

Guardian

Dev Note With today's update, several of Guardian's Succession and Awakening skills have had their damage increased for PvE only.

Corsair

Dev Note We've increased Corsair's Succession and Awakening capabilities for PvE. For Succession, we've made it possible to now open your combos with Vigor Rush, while also adjusting the damage of skills that use the Sereneca so Corsair can deal steady and consistent damage. For Awakening, we wanted to make her combos connect more rhythmically, so we increased the activation speeds of Pirate's Life For Me, Flow: Earth-render Patraca, and Cap'n's Orders: Open Fire! We particularly made Cap'n's Orders: Open Fire! available without needing any build up motions, and we look forward to see how our adventurers take advantage of this change in both PvE and PvP content alike.

Drakania

Dev Note Today's update for Drakania improves her performance for both Succession and Awakening in PvE. For Succession, the damage of Brimbolt Strike has been increased to have an overall impact on PvE. As for Awakening, we have reduced the cooldown for one of her major skills Dragonblood: Sundering Roar to strengthen her performance in PvE. We previously made small changes to the action animations of her Succession skills. Drakania wields the two-handed sword known as slayer, and we aimed to make the animations feel a bit smoother rather than feeling heavy like a greatsword. However, some adventurers felt that the emphasis on smoothness was too strong, thus in today's update, we have made adjustments to certain skills to give them a more pronounced impact. Players may feel that the attack speed or combo speed has increased due to these changes, but please note that such is not the case.

• Bugfix Prime: Brimbolt Strike (I to IV) (Main, Succession) Fixed the issue where normal Flow: Brimbolt Wave would combo from the skill even when activated with max ion output during another skill. Changed the skill damage as follows. Base attack damage 857% / 991% / 1360% / 1729% → 987% / 1171% / 1520% / 1902% Max ion output attack damage 1114% / 1288% / 1768% / 2248% → 1283% / 1522% / 1976% / 2473% PvP damage -58.46% → -62.4% PvP extra damage -20.8% → -28% 🔗
• Rework Prime: Sundering Claw (Main, Succession) Changed the skill damage as follows. Base attack damage 1588% → 2064% Max ion output attack damage 2144% → 2786% PvP damage -57.1% → -67% 🔗
• Buff Dragonblood: Sundering Roar (I to IV) (Main, Succession) Changed the cooldown as follows. 21 sec / 20 sec / 19 sec / 18 sec17 sec / 16 sec / 15 sec / 14 sec 🔗

Maegu

Dev Note We balanced Maegu's PvE abilites while factoring in her lack of her Awakening and Magnus-exclusive skills, but saw that she was still too much of a force to be reckoned with and decided she needed some further adjustments. Thus with today's update, we changed the "3 min buff" for Prime: Foxspirit: Form from Critical Hit damage to All DP increase. Basically, we reduced some of her offensive power for some gains in defense. We had previous patches where we made such adjustments as removing her frontal illusory double from PvP, but we deemed that there are still certain specific moments where Maegu is simply overpowering. This includes the combo where Maegu can use Lurking Claws to stop her opponent from behind, then CC them. This we felt was too advantageous for a ranged class, so we reduced the speed of Lurking Claws comboing into other skills.

• Bugfix Spirit Step, Chain: Spirit Step (Main Weapon, Succession) Changed the skill description to match the actual frontal animation. Fixed the issue where you could perform Evasion when holding the skill commands for lateral Spirit Step after using the skill while Chain: Spirit Step was unavailable. 🔗
• Nerf Lurking Claws (I to Absolute, Prime) (Main Weapon, Succession) Reduced the speed of comboing into Charmed, Bristling Sparks, and Flower Shroud. 🔗

• Rework Prime: Foxspirit: Form (Main Weapon, Succession) Changed the buff as follows. Critical hit damage +20% for 30 sec on useAll DP +20 for 30 sec on use 🔗
