[Updates] Patch Notes - May 14, 2026

Warrior

Dev Note Warrior Awakening has been adjusted to better fit the berserker concept, allowing him to better endure attacks and deal AoE damage through aggressive play. We expanded the enemy detection range of the Burning Moxie passive and lowered the enemy count required to apply its maximum effect. Additionally, the All Damage Reduction effects that could already be gained through other skills have been changed to recover HP instead, allowing him to gain an additional effect.

Drakania

Dev Note Since the previous update, we have been adjusting Drakania Awakening so that Hexeblood applies strong pressure through single-target CC in exchange for having fewer defensive effects, while Dragonblood has more defensive effects and focuses on dealing AoE damage. However, certain Dragonblood skills lacked the damage needed to apply pressure through AoE damage, making them less worthwhile to use. We have increased Dragonblood's PvP damage to better highlight her AoE damage concept. Additionally, Hexeblood's defensive effects have been adjusted to make it easier to attempt CC.

• Buff Dragonblood: Savage Decree III (Common) 34.39% damage in PvP only → 42% damage in PvP only 🔗

Seraph

Dev Note Seraph has been adjusted to address her excessive long-distance mobility when using Vanguard Chase - Dauntless Will. Moving while maintaining defensive effects now requires the use of other skills. We have also adjusted skills that allowed her to initiate one-sided attacks (Impelling Thrust, Impelling Surge), requiring Adventurers to approach attacks more carefully. Additionally, Horizon Slash, which could trigger multiple CC effects, and Mark of Judgment, a core skill that allowed her to extend CC combos, have had their CC capabilities reduced. However, to reinforce Seraph's core identity of overpowering opponents through combos utilizing Unshakable Will, we have adjusted the PvP damage, defensive effects, and sustain of related skills. Finally, the Purgatum state has also been adjusted to allow her to fight through AoE damage and AoE CC.
