Ninja

Dev Note For the Awakening Ninja, we've tweaked the Seamless skill to exclude its Bound effect in PvP, enabling the Ninja to benefit from the melee AP boost during combos. Furthermore, we've ensured that the Shadow Slash is instantly performed after Sura Katana skills, offering the Ninja greater flexibility for surprise attacks or swift movements.

Witch

Striker

Mystic

Dev Note The Awakened Mystic was designed to favor battles where she consistently dealt damage while glancing off (or taking) blows. However, this meant that she had to give up on stacking offensive stats and moreso on gearing up defensively to survive combat. To address this issue, we removed the HP recovered per Hurricane Sweep moves to now be recovered through her major skills of Wave Orb, Rising Dragon, and Sea Burial, thus allowing the Mystic to consistently deal damage to recover her health. Also, just as consuming Martial Spirits and performing Wave Orb, Rising Dragon, and Sea Burial increased her damage, we felt reducing the Martial Spirit cost for certain skills would allow for more frequent usage of such skills in her combos.

Dark Knight

Sage

Dev Note The Succession Sage has demonstrated its strength in group battles in PvP, through high damage output, his disruptive nature, and stability provided by Rift Chain. As a class known for having casting actions for each skill and feeling rather slow overall, this we saw to compensate by allowing for maximum damage output at higher levels. However, we decided to increase the interval when the Sage disappears after using Rift Chain and the Super Armor buff obtained at the end of the skill, which will require Sages to be more strategic with the skill usage. Also, we adjusted the advantage of reduced cooldown time for the Reset skill obtained through the effect of Prime: Overdrive. No longer will using Kyve Mastery or Ator's Thorn grant the reduction, which bore no risk even if wasted in mid-air. Now you will gain the cooldown reduction when using main skills that are more risky to use in mid-air.

Corsair

Dev Note We've changed Succession Corsair to now inflict debuffs on opponents more frequently by utilizing not only Prime: Whirling Slash but also Prime: Mareca: Sea Stroll. Additionally, we've eliminated the difficult-to-land attack while moving with Prime: Mareca: Sea Stroll, and changed the skill to deal faster damage while applying a debuff.

Drakania

Dev Note Awakened Drakania was able to swiftly approach and ambush enemies using the mobility gained from Flow: Markthanan's Wings and Flow: Wings of Destruction. Particularly, Flow: Wings of Destruction allowed for starting flight from a distance and moving, then suddenly disappearing and reappearing with Core: Tectonic Slam or Core: Storm Maul to apply debuffs. This made it difficult for opponents to respond. To address this, changes have been made to allow combos only after the landing motion, giving opponents somewhat of a fighting chance to respond to Awakened Drakania's mobility. Also, we've adjusted Markthanan's Heart's HP recovery effects to prevent Drakania from suddenly recovering too much HP during combos. Instead, a certain level of HP can be maintained continuously when dealing damage outside of combos.

Woosa

Maegu

Dev Note The Awakened Maegu was designed to suddenly ambush adventurers in PvP with debuffs through the Foxflare Ambush, Hazy Path -> Twirling Crane combo. However, even if you managed to apply a debuff, there was no defensive effect when using Wind Step in following combos, so unless you were facing an individual foe, you always had to retreat midway without finishing off the enemy. To address this, we made the Twirling Foxflare -> Flow: Foxflare Encore combo more usable for small and large scale fights. Additionally, to speed up the hit-and-run playstyle of the Awakened Maegu, the HP recovery and cooldown of Twirling Crane have been adjusted.
