Berserker

Dev Note We've improved Berserker Awakening's combat flow to allow you to incorporate ranged pressure using Flame Buster before closing in for a melee finish. We've also adjusted Titan Syndrome's effect, so Flame Buster can now apply greater pressure to enemies during the skill. For PvE, we have adjusted Devastation's relatively low damage compared to its casting speed, allowing Berserker to continue his combo with Awakening skills rather than Main Weapon skills.

Valkyrie

Dev Note Valkyrie Succession has been adjusted to carry out combat with her defensive strengths and healing capability. While less mobile than Valkyrie Awakening, she has been improved to play a more definitive role supporting and fighting within a group. Additionally, we have improved her combo cycle by aligning skill cooldowns, while allowing Prime: Shield Throw to be mixed in as one of her main skills.

Dev Note We've balanced the Valkyrie Awakening's offensive and defensive capabilities, ensuring a well-rounded playstyle. Instead of a more supportive role, she will now be able to play more aggressively from a distance using skills such as Hastiludium. Furthermore, we've tweaked her defensive and CC effects to shift her combat focus from the Main Weapon to Awakening Skills.

Dark Knight

Guardian

Dev Note We've made improvements to make Guardian Succession's combo cycle more seamless, and address her lack of of low-risk skills to employ during combat.

Sage
