Sorceress
- Bugfix Fixed the issue where the appearance of the cloak looked unnatural when wearing Orzeca’s Rose armor.
Berserker
Dev Note We sought to make improvements to the arsenal of skills the Awakened Berserker could use in PvE. The most common combo made use of [Seismic Blast], [Flow: Split Shot], [Flow: Scatter Shot], [Flow: Slugfest], [Titan Blow], [Flow: Ancient Wave], and while said skills were on cooldown, Berserkers could only use [Blasting] - [Ground Lifting] repeatedly. Today's update takes the somewhat lackluster [Flow: General Disarray] skill and brought new life into it as [Flame Pummel], which we hope will be used a major skill for PvE situations, and relieve Berserkers from having to repeat [Blasting] - [Ground Lifting] to deal more powerful combos.

Corsair
Dev Note We sought to further accentuate the Awakened Corsair's ranged-focus gameplay as opposed to her more melee-centric Main Weapon skills. With this change, we focused on improving [Wave-breaker Patraca] as a skill for Corsair to keep her opponents at bay, and added the new [Entangling Vortex] skill. These improvements allow her to increase the gap between her foes to even greater range, and we also added the [Surface-slicer Patraca] skill with its Knockdown debuff that can come in handy even when [Wind-piercer Patraca] is on cooldown.
