New and Improvements

Character

Warrior
For Warrior Succession, we've reduced the inconvenience of having to use Prime: Heavy Strike until the final hit, while also allowing other skills besides Prime: Heavy Strike to deal enough damage.
Previously, the last hit of Prime: Heavy Strike did not activate smoothly and could not combo into other skills, making it somewhat difficult to use. To address this, we've improved it so that even if the skill continues until final hit, you can now combo into another skill and maintain the flow of combat.

Succession
Prime: Heavy Strike
  • Changed the skill as follows:
    • Changed so it can combo within the first 3 hits even while pressing ↓ key during the skill.
      • However, when the Prime: Pulverize skill is available, the skill will be activated automatically.
    • Changed so Critical Hit Rate is not applied only to the final hit when the skill is used during the cooldown.
    • Reduced Prime: Heavy Strike damage by 15% during cooldown.
    • Increased the activation speed of the last hit.
    • Improved to combo smoothly with the following skills after the last hit:
      • Counter, Scars of Dusk, Spinning Slash, Shield Strike, Prime: Pulverize, Ground Slash
    • Fixed the character's momentary movement speed reduction after a hit. [Before, After]

    • Increased the animation speed of performing the skill.
    • Reduced Prime: Spinning Slash damage by 29% during cooldown.

Sorceress
Awakening
Dark Tendrils
  • Fixed the issue of being reverted back to your Awakening state when comboing into Night Crow while using Dark Tendrils via ring menu with your scythe. (Removed)

 

Archer
To enhance the Archer class's unique concept and appeal, greatbow and crossbow skills have seen an overall improvement with today's update. The Archer has had some inconveniences, such as skills affected by terrain, a lack of ways to deal with approaching enemies, and low cumulative combo damage in PvE. The focus of this update was to improve these areas.
First, greatbow and crossbow skills were improved to emphasize their respective concepts. For greatbow skills, Spear of Sylvia and Ravenous Talon were changed to ranged attack skills to align with the ranged concept. In particular, Spear of Sylvia has been changed to not be affected by terrain, and the firing speed of Light's Path has increased to steadily deal damage without being affected by altitude.
As for crossbow skills, the defensive effects were adjusted to respond to nearby enemies. Also, Uproot, Ultimate: Zephyr Leap, and Gaping Darkness had their distance and utility improved to allow the Archer to distance himself from approaching enemies and resume his attacks. Accordingly, the effects of the skills were changed so that the Archer can now manage a variety of situations.
