Dev Note We've added the Abyssal Legacy skill for the Scholar class. Unlike other classes, this skill doesn't replace existing ones but is introduced as a new Flow skill. By default, you can combo from the Home Run skill to attack from a relatively long distance and then follow up with a wide-area attack as you approach your target. Additionally, in situations where quick entry is crucial, you can combo after the Gravity Anchor skill, allowing you to enter enemy territory more securely and deal significant damage.

QoL Added the Abyssal Legacy skill, Flow: Gold Continuum. Once any character in your Family has completed the Abyss One: The Magnus main questline, you can talk to the Black Spirit (/) and complete the [The Magnus] Abyssal Insight quest to learn this skill.
