[Updates] Patch Notes - September 26, 2023

Sorceress

Dev Note For Sorceress Succession, we focused on improving the control and continuous combat experience in PVE gameplay. We addressed the issue where the Bound effect was applied when using Beak Kick in PVP situations, making it inconvenient to combo into debuff effects. We also resolved the issue where the evasion rate didn't decrease. We also changed the commands for the skill Dark Flame to ↓(S) + LMB to avoid unintended activation of skills. Additionally, we improved to combo smoothly into the last attack after the third attack, when holding ↓(S) + LMB after using the skill. And we increased the PVE damage of enhanced skills and improved the combo between enhanced skills and succession skills, allowing for more continuous combat.

Musa

Dev Note We carried out some tweaking of Musa's Awakening skill damage, particularly for skills that saw very little usage or weren't included in combos for PvE.

Drakania

Dev Note The Succession Drakania saw her utilize Markthanan's Scale to strengthen her tanking capabilities and deal damage at max ion output, making her a notable force in large-scale matchups. Hence we've adjusted Prime: Brimbolt Strike (Flow: Brimbolt Wave) and Prime: Markthanan's Flourish by slightly lowering her PvP damage but retaining her playstyle. On the other hand, Prime: Markthanan's Dominion was somewhat iffy to use in PvE situations, so we added some ion recovery effects as well as changing some aspects of how the skill dealt damage as well. We also improved Prime: Ascent's PvE damage to compensate for its somewhat long cast time.

• Buff Prime: Brimbolt Strike (I to IV) Flow: Brimbolt Wave (Main, Succession) Attack damage 987/1171/1520/1902% x5 Attack damage 1283/1522/1976/2473% x8 at max ion output Extra attack damage 1283/1522/1976/2473% x1, max 2 hits at max ion output Damage -62.4% in PvP only Extra attack damage -28% in PvP onlyAttack damage 1066/1265/1642/2054% x5 Attack damage 1386/1645/2135/2670% x8 at max ion output Extra attack damage 1386/1645/2135/2670% x1, max 2 hits at max ion output Damage -68.5% in PvP only Extra attack damage -33.2% in PvP only 🔗

• Bugfix Prime: Dragonborn Constitution (Main, Succession) Fixed the issue where additional ions weren't stockpiled from cleansing Movement, Attack, and Casting Speed reduction debuffs, and updated the description accordingly. Fixed the issue where you would also cleanse Movement, Attack, and Casting Speed reduction debuffs on allies nearby when starting to perform Prime: Brimbolt Strike or Prime: Markthanan's Flourish. You will still cleanse Movement, Attack, and Casting Speed reduction debuffs on allies when used while stockpiling ions as before. 🔗
• Bugfix Prime: Markthanan's Scale (Main, Succession) Fixed the issue where additional ions weren't stockpiled from cleansing Movement, Attack, and Casting Speed reduction debuffs while stockpiling ions with the skill. 🔗

Woosa

Dev Note Upon learning Prime: Quiet Waters, the Succession Woosa could utilize the summoned storm cloud to stack Magic DP reduction debuffs up to 3 times. This enabled the Woosa to deal high damage while safely protected by defensive effects such as Forward Guard, making her an efficient class suited for PvE. However, we felt her debuff stacking capabilities made her a bit too efficient, especially for dealing greater damage with less-than-the-recommended AP for high end monster zones, so we made her only able to stack up to 2 DP reduction debuffs for PvE only.

• Nerf Prime: Quiet Waters's Storm Cloud Effect (Succession) Changed the DP reduction debuff applied by the summoned storm cloud in PvE as follows. Magic DP -15 for 10 sec on hitsAll DP -20 for 10 sec on hits This DP reduction debuff does not stack with Cloudcarve's debuff. The skill will still apply the Magic DP reduction debuff, and will also stack with Cloudcarve's debuff, in PvP only. 🔗
