Ninja

Dev Note The Awakening Ninja is being revised with the newly changed Sura ChaoSpree, making it easier to utilize buff/debuff effects in a combo sequence. The Awakening Ninja had to utilize a lot of main weapon skills, which meant that in order to switch to the Sura Katana, the awakening skills had to be placed and used in the Quick Slots. Now, we've changed it so that the Murderous Intent can also be triggered with your main weapon if Ankle Cutter is locked, allowing for continued combos via command key. However, Core: Murderous Intent gave Super Armor and Stiffness every 3 sec, which was overly powerful, so we've increased the cooldown but enhanced the Skill Add-on and DP Reduction effect. Additionally, we've relocated the buff/debuff effects from Flashing Light, which had difficulty utilizing the All Evasion Rate reduction, and Serpent Ascension, which already had a 100% Critical Hit Rate applied to the skill itself. This change has improved gameplay, making it easier to utilize the buff and debuff effects more smoothly during skill combos.

After using the Serpent Ascension, it is now performed as a slash attack. Changed the description of the command to perform the slash attack to be more detailed. The damage of the skill has been adjusted as follows: Attack damage 902% x 6 Slash attack damage 1100% x 6 Slash attack Critical Hit Rate +100% Normal attack PvP damage -46.8% Slash attack PvP damage -47.8%Attack damage 1109% x 6 Slash attack damage 1408% x 6 Critical Hit Rate +100% Normal attack PvP damage -65.5% Slash attack PvP damage -55.6% 🔗

Nova

Dev Note Nova Succession uses “Prime: King of the Dead” to summon Axian additionally at the cost of HP. However, each Axian summon consumed large amounts of HP, which made the skill difficult to make use of in PvP situations, despite having HP recovery on successful hits. To lessen this burden on HP, Axian summoning now consumes SP instead of HP. Also, to improve upon Nova Succession’s uniqueness of fighting alongside guards and Axians in PvE, Critical Hit Rate was increased for “Face the Darkness” and “Icy Kiss”. Additionally, “Storming Star” was difficult to utilize due to its slow motion and low damage, so we changed its animation and added “Prime: Storming Star” for improved usage.

Maegu

Dev Note Today’s patch adjusted some of the skills of Succession Maegu. First, we tried to maintain the strengths of Succession Maegu, such as smooth combos, long-range attacks, and wide-range attacks, while adjusting her tankiness by reducing the number of hits (which can be exploited by Frenzy Draught, etc.). Although the number of hits has decreased, the damage has increased, so there is no significant change in the total damage. We also reduced the range of the Foxspirit: Tag and Flower Shroud and adjusted the buff/debuff effects of some skills to maintain the advantage of long-range attacks while making the gameplay more careful. As we mentioned at the Heidel Ball, we apologize once again for the additional adjustments made due to our mistake. We will work more carefully in the future and respond more quickly to any issues that arise.
