[Updates] Patch Notes - February 26, 2026

Warrior

Dev Note We've improved Warrior's reliability when engaging by strengthening the Defensive Effects on dash skills. However, we've adjusted Stamina recovery for certain skills, so you'll need to pay a bit more attention to Stamina management. Additionally, for Awakening Warrior, we've moved some buffs to skills where they fit better.

Ranger

Dev Note Awakening Ranger's "Flow: Rushing Wind" is now more useful. If you use "Breezy Blade" while it's on cooldown, "Flow: Rushing Wind" will trigger instead. This lets you chain into "Flow: Rushing Wind" with other skills in combat, helping you keep up pressure and take advantage of openings.

Maehwa

Deadeye

Dev Note Deadeye fights by using Lil' Devil to pressure enemies at long range and over a wide area, while using Revolvers to focus fire on a single target. However, from the opponent's perspective, there was still too much danger even after pushing through this and closing the distance, so we've made adjustments. The CC effects that applied on both the first and last hits of certain mobile skills will now apply to PvE only. In return, the damage of some stationary skills has been increased.

• Rework Mayhem (All) Changed Stun to apply to PvE only. 🔗

Wukong

Dev Note For Wukong, we've made additional improvements on top of the previous Global Lab update, focusing on the Wukong's Hair effect. We've eased the conditions so the dash effect, which previously only triggered while the Hair effect was active, can now be triggered repeatedly by using certain skills to chain dashes consecutively.

• QoL Pierce! (All) Knockback on hits (PvE Only) → Knockback on hits 🔗
• QoL Extend! (All) Knockback on hits (PvE Only) → Knockback on hits 🔗
• Rework Celestial Nectar (All) Adjusted the effects of Wukong's Hair as follows: Wukong's Hair / Before / After: Trigger Skills → When using Fighting Buddha "empowered" skills → When using the following skills in the Fighting Buddha state: Tusita's Gourd, Impale; Effect → Summon a shadow when using Tormenting Spike, Upheaval, or Heaven's Pivot (Extra Damage) → Summon a shadow when using Stretch or Hold It (Stiffness and Extra Damage); Dash Effect → Dash toward a target hit by your power pole during certain skill combos while Wukong's Hair is active.
