[Updates] Patch Notes - September 18, 2025

Sorceress

Dev Note We've focused on improving Succession Sorceress, as she has lacked a distinct role in many combat situations. Since her combat style combines both ranged and melee attacks, we aimed to make her ranged skills provide more stable control. To that end, the difficult-to-use Storming Crow can now be replaced with Prime: Bloody Calamity, which now provides both defensive effect and debuff to better counter enemies with AoE crowd control and ranged knockdowns. Additionally, Prime: Dream of Doom has been given Super Armor, allowing it to be cast more safely.

• Rework Prime: Turn-back Slash (Main, Succession) Changed so you now press W + C to combo into Prime: Violation. 🔗
• Buff Absolute Darkness, Black Wave (Main, Succession) Black Wave - Changed the key command to S + RMB. Absolute Darkness - Changed so it now activates when repeatedly using Sinister Energy. Absolute Darkness - Removed the Magic Damage Reduction on hits debuff. Adjusted the skill damage accordingly. Before: 1574% x1, 58.48% damage in PvP only After: 2046% x1, 58.48% damage in PvP only Absolute Darkness - Increased the maximum projectile range by 60% of the previous Absolute skill level's range. 🔗
• Rework Prime: Dream of Doom (Main, Succession) Changed to now apply Super Armor while casting. Changed to no longer apply defensive effects when attacking or using Imminent Doom. Changed to cost 150 Stamina per sec while casting, matching Prime: Bloody Calamity. 🔗
• Nerf Storming Crow II (Main, Succession) Changed the Bound effect to apply in PvE only. Changed so that skills with both defensive effects and debuffs are now Prime: Bloody Calamity and Blade of Darkness. Changed the Movement Speed debuff: -15% for 5 sec-20% for 5 sec. 🔗

• Buff Allround Spinner (Awakening) Increased the activation speed. 🔗

Valkyrie

Dev Note We've adjusted Succession Valkyrie to enhance her ability to engage or disengage, while also expanding the skills available for combos. Succession: Ultimate Righteous Charge now grants immunity to CC from rear attacks, providing an additional option for safely advancing or retreating. Furthermore, improvements have been made so that Prime: Judgment of Light and Prime: Divine Power can be comboed together, allowing her to maintain defensive effects while dealing damage in combos.

• Buff Prime: Judgment of Light (I to III) (Main, Succession) (I to II) Improved so that you can now combo more quickly into Honorblade with a faster motion. (I) Adjusted the slowdown effect on your character's motions when using the skill. 🔗
• Buff Prime: Divine Power (Main, Succession) Improved to perform instantly when used via key command. Using via quick slot will activate after the initial motion as before. 🔗
• QoL Succession: Ultimate Righteous Charge (Main, Succession) Added the skill. 🔗

Guardian

• Bugfix Fierce Disdain Fixed the animations to match its actual attack area. 🔗

Nova

Dev Note Awakening Nova's mobility has been improved in this update. In the previous patch, Twisted Orbit could no longer be used during cooldown, and movement was removed from Royal Fencing: Riposte, which weakened Nova's hit-and-run playstyle. Even in Accel. state, this playstyle felt less distinctive. To address this—without making the class harder to control—we've focused on enhancing mobility around Accel: Break Orbit, allowing Nova to move more freely and effectively.

• Buff Accel: Break Orbit (Awakening) Improved to activate up to 2 times continuously from any direction when holding the key command. Applies Invincible even when activated continuously. Changed the motion, adjusting it so consecutive activations from any direction now occur with the same timing. 🔗
• Rework Twisted Orbit, Accel: Twisted Orbit (Awakening) Changed so you can now press LMB to combo into Royal Fencing: Lunge during cooldown. 🔗

Corsair

Dev Note In PvE, Corsair has seen improvements to skill combos and a rebalancing of damage distribution. Previously, her Abyssal Legacy skill and Skill Enhancement (Rabam skills) contributed significantly to Corsair's overall damage. As a result, both Succession and Awakening Corsair had to rely on these skills to maximize their damage output. With this update, the damage from those specific skills has been reduced and redistributed across Succession and Awakening skills, while the damage of main Succession and Awakening skills has been increased. For Corsair Awakening, combos now flow more smoothly, letting you deal more damage by mixing up a wider range of skills. Movement skills like Tide-splitter Patraca and Sun-shielder Patraca have been made easier to use, and Pirate's Life For Me—which is often used before Ocean's Allure—now has a shorter cooldown. However, if you use Pirate's Life For Me while it's still on cooldown, its damage will be reduced.

Wukong

Dev Note For Wukong, there were cases where the "Wukong's Hair" buff caused unintended movement, as hitting an enemy with the Power Pole would trigger a dash in an unwanted direction. Now, if you lock Celestial Nectar, the dash effect will no longer activate on hit, giving you more control over how you use the skill. (The Summon shadows effect from Celestial Nectar will still activate, regardless of the lock setting.) We've also improved It Ain't Over! in the Fighting Buddha state. Now, Wukong will move a fixed distance—just like he does in his normal state—regardless of the "Wukong's Hair" buff. This change makes it easier to position yourself and apply debuffs in PvP.

• Rework Celestial Nectar (All) Changed so that when the skill is locked, the effect of dashing toward enemies struck with your power pole during Wukong's Hair will no longer activate. 🔗
• Buff Heaven's Pivot (All) Increased the duration of Super Armor to now last until just before the finish motion after retrieving your power pole. 🔗
• Buff It Ain't Over! (All) Improved to now activate within a set movement distance when used in Fighting Buddha state regardless of the Wukong's Hair effect. 🔗
• Rework Black Spirit: Upheaval, Black Spirit: Scorch It All - Changed the effects to better reflect the Black Spirit's Rage consumed. 🔗
• Buff Improved the motion for sheathing weapons with TAB when moving while in combat stance to appear more natural. 🔗
• Buff Improved the naturalness of certain social actions. 🔗
• Bugfix Fixed the issue where some Skill Enhancement key guides were not displayed correctly in Gamepad mode. 🔗
• Bugfix Fixed the issue where Dismount and Injury effects were not properly applied when hitting targets with Black Spirit's Rage skills. 🔗
• Buff Improved the falling motion while airborne during Black Spirit: Upheaval. 🔗
• Bugfix Black Spirit: Upheaval Fixed the issue where the Evasion buff was applied to targets other than yourself during the skill. 🔗
• Buff It Ain't Over! Improved the skill so that your character now rotates based on the camera direction in Fighting Buddha state, matching the normal state. 🔗
