Ranger

Sorceress

Dev Note Sorceress, both in Succession and Awakening, traditionally had lower base attack power. However, she could absorb Shards of Darkness to boost her attack power to match other characters. This meant that in party zones like Black Shrine - Hwanghae Province and Dehkia - Olun's Valley, the attack power buffs provided by other party members were less effective for her. To address this, her base attack power has been adjusted. For Succession, since the passive effects already compensated for her attack power, the effect of the Prime: Dark Manipulation skill has been changed. Additionally, adjustments have been made to skills that were previously inconvenient or had low usability.

Tamer

Dev Note Tamer's Succession has been adjusted to focus on adding new main skills and enhancing mobility. Previously, her movement skills included Legendary Beast's Power, Prime: Moonlight Strike, and Tree Climb. However, Legendary Beast's Power had a short range, making it similar to Evasion. To address this, the Prime: Legendary Leap skill has been added to reduce the need for multiple consecutive forward evasive maneuvers when covering long distances.

Maehwa

Valkyrie

Dev Note For Valkyrie's Succession, adjustments have been made to Righteous Charge and Prime: Shining Dash to allow them to be used as movement and charge skills, in addition to Shield Chase. Furthermore, the requirement to use Prime: Sword of Judgment while under the Celestial Eye effect from Prime: Celestial Spear has been eased, allowing the same effect to be obtained by learning Ultimate: Sword of Judgment.

Kunoichi

Dev Note Kunoichi's Awakening has been streamlined to focus Lunar Dash on its role as a charge attack. For moving past opponents, Danse Macabre can be used. A new skill, Penumbral Blade, has been added to enhance her ability to target and approach a single enemy. In Succession, after the recent overall PvE damage adjustments, Prime: Wheel of Wrath, which uses Ninjutsu Explosion, had become less effective. To address this, its damage has been adjusted to make it more powerful when its limitations are overcome.

Ninja

Dev Note Ninja's Awakening saw a decrease in mobility after the cooldown increase for Murderous Intent. While using a skill with Super Armor to inflict debuffs every 3 seconds was deemed excessive, we recognized that Ninja's current mobility needed some enhancement. Thus, a new skill, Flow: Murderous Sever, has been added. Additionally, the main damage-dealing skill, Serpent Ascension, now includes an Air Attack damage increase to maximize its damage potential.

Wizard

Dev Note With this update, a powerful new lightning element skill, Prime: Voltaic Discharge, is being added, comparable to Prime: Meteor Shower and Prime: Blizzard. This skill is designed to maximize the effect of the Prime: Elemental Flow skill. Wizard's Succession will now focus on unleashing powerful main skills first, then using weaker skills to quickly reduce the cooldown of the powerful ones. What Tier 1 skills of each element lack in damage, they make up for in short cooldown times. However, Prime: Elemental Flow's effect reduces the cooldown of Tier 3 main skills by 3 seconds. This allows for diverse combo possibilities, whether focusing on stable Tier 2 skills or quickly cycling back to Tier 3 skills.

Mystic

Lahn

Dev Note Lahn's Awakening has been focused on filling the gaps after using all main skills in PvE. Alongside this, improvements have been made to the activation speed of various skills, as well as enhancements to AP Increase and DP Reduction effects.

Dark Knight

Hashashin

Dev Note Hashashin's Awakening has been focused on enhancing PvE and clarifying skill characteristics. Retribution has been adjusted to make it easier to use as a counter with Mirage in PvP, while the Recover HP effect has been moved to Serpent's Coil, allowing it to absorb damage during PvE and use the skill to its full extent. Additionally, Inquisition has been adjusted to quickly target Accuracy Increase buffs and Down Smash, making it a more meaningful skill to begin combos.

Nova

Dev Note Nova's Succession, unlike other characters with summons, had an average damage ratio of about 4.8:5.2 between the character and summons in a single skill. This resulted in only about 50% effectiveness for various Special Damage Increase effects. To address this, adjustments have been made to align the damage ratio between the character and summons, similar to other characters using summons. Consequently, in Succession skills where the Royal Guard and Axian are summoned, Nova's direct attack damage has been increased, while the damage of the Royal Guard and Axian has been decreased.

Drakania

Dev Note Drakania Succession is designed to enhance skills by stockpiling ions. In PvP, it utilizes Markthanan's Heart and numerous Super Armor skills to provide excellent HP Recovery and a seamless transition between Invincibility and Super Armor. However, Ion stockpiling was integrated to fill potential gaps in this defensive chain. Recent updates have reduced the damage output of skills activated at maximum power by consuming Ions, lowering the return compared to the risk of charging ions. Therefore, adjustments have been made to reduce the risk of charging ions and increase the sustainability of obtaining more ions for maximum damage output.

Woosa

Scholar

Dosa

Dev Note Dosa is popular for its easy controls, stable PvE capabilities, high ranged damage, and ally support in PvP, including capabilities of weaving in and out of combat. Compared to other classes, Dosa's performance is currently quite high, prompting adjustments to areas that exceed the standard range.
