[Updates] Patch Notes - May 31, 2023

Sorceress

Dev Note For Succession Sorceress, we have focused on expanding the range of skills that can compensate for the damage loss during cooldowns of major skills in PvE. To maintain consistent damage output in PvE, we have adjusted the damage of Prime: Abyssal Flame, which can be quickly activated after Night Crow or Prime: Turn-back Slash, and Prime: Bloody Calamity, which is used as the opening combo with the acquisition of Tier 3 Skill Add-ons. Furthermore, we have made it easier to combo Shadow Wave and Shadow Hellfire, which were previously challenging to utilize, after Shadow Eruption, Midnight Stinger, or Dream of Doom.

Musa

Additionally, the extra attack damage of Projection has been adjusted to allow for consistent damage over time through the Blade effect. The damage of Inferno Slash, which previously had lower damage compared to its animation, has also been adjusted.

Maehwa

Dev Note Maehwa Awakening now has an additional command key to immediately use Oppression, which is a skill with an all DP reduction effect and serves as the starting point for PvE combos. Furthermore, we have adjusted the damage of certain skills that were weaker in PvE combat. The main skills, Petal Bloom and Petal Drill, have been adjusted to deal significant damage to monsters, while Moonrise, Flow: Cloud Stab, Petal Swirl, and Flow: Frostflower have been adjusted to complement and support the main skills during their cooldown periods, allowing for more strategic utilization in PvE.

• Nerf Moonrise I-IV (Awakening) Attack 1 damage 696/826/1006/1206% x 4 Attack 2 damage 696/826/1006/1206% x 4 PvP Damage Reduction Rate 34.8%Attack 1 damage 905/1074/1308/1568% x 4 Attack 2 damage 905/1074/1308/1568% x 4 PvP Damage Reduction Rate 49.8% 🔗

Woosa

Dev Note The damage of Woosa skills were initially balanced considering the absence of strong or enhanced skills at the time of her release. However, as updates introduced new skills with improved synergy and utility, adjustments have been made to refine the damage accordingly. With the Woosa Awakening being released in this update, the awakening weapon can now benefit from extra damage effects. Considering the potential increase in damage through item effects, the PvE damage values for the skills in that aspect have been refined and adjusted.

• Buff Stormfall I to Absolute (Main Weapon) Changed PvP Damage Reduction Rate 59% → 67%. 🔗
• Bugfix Flitting Step, Chain: Flitting Step (Main Weapon) Fixed the issue where Casting Speed was affected instead of Movement Speed. Decreased the PvE damage of all Succession skills by about 3.75%. However, as PvP damage has not been changed, the PvP Damage Reduction Rate has been changed. 🔗

Maegu

Dev Note Maegu is designed to engage enemies regardless of their distance, utilizing both long-range attack skills such as Prime: Flower Shroud, Prime: Foxflare, Prime: Petal Play, and Prime: Bared Claws, as well as close-range skills like Prime: Heavenward Dance, Prime: Spirit Swirl, and Prime: Lurking Claws. Additionally, the inclusion of Prime: Foxspirit: Deceiver's illusory double and Spirit Step, which can be activated during the use of most skills, allows for a high level of stability and adaptability during combat. This combination enables Maegu to effectively engage opponents regardless of their positioning. Even in situations where Maegu couldn't use her illusory double, she was able to easily escape using movement or evasion techniques, and we assessed that reducing Maegu's stability was necessary. Thus, we changed the defensive effects of Path of Petals and Soul Tear so that Maegu is subject to more pressure in PvP situations when using the two skills. Furthermore, the defensive effects were removed from Foxflare and Petal Play, which are used to attack opponents at long range. This change was made to require more strategic decision-making when utilizing these two techniques for counterattacking against close-range opponents.

• Nerf Foxflare (Main Weapon, Succession) Removed the Super Armor effect from the pre-attack animation of the skill. 🔗
• Nerf Petal Play (Main Weapon, Succession) Removed the Forward Guard effect from the pre-attack animation of the skill. 🔗
• Buff Soul Tear (Main Weapon, Succession) Changed the Invincible effect that was applied when the character using the skill vanished to a Super Armor effect. 🔗
• Rework Path of Petals (Main Weapon, Succession) Changed the Invincible effect during the first move of the skill to a Super Armor effect. 🔗
