New Additions and Improvements

Class Changes
  • Fixed the issue where summoned monsters and creatures would not attack players if they had the Invincibility buff activated.
 

Warrior

In order to balance Awakening Warrior’s disadvantages in PvP combat, we have improved the flow and damage of the critical combos Grave Digging -> Flow: Slashing the Dead and Pulverize -> Flow: Tempest. The duration of Flow: Ankle Break’s increased Critical Hit Rate effect is now the same as that of Warrior Succession’s Prime: Spinning Slash, and this effect will now be applied to Flow: Tempest as well. We’ve also increased the damage of Frenzied Strikes, the main PvE skill, in order to be even more effective at taking down monsters.
Awakening
  • Improved the displayed effects of the equipped Pen(V) : Blackstar Greatsword to be even more pronounced.
 

Pulverize (I to III)

  • Fixed an issue where the actual hits of the skill’s smash attacks were applied slower than the attack animation at a certain point.
  • Improved certain skills that could only be comboed after the spin attack of Grave Digging to also be combo-able after the basic attack of Grave Digging.
  • Improved the combo speed of other skills after the smash attack hits of Grave Digging to match that of the basic attack hits of Grave Digging.
 

Frenzied Strikes (I to III)

Valkyrie

Though the skill Prime: Divine Power of Valkyrie Succession has high damage, it was difficult to combo with other skills while Glaring Slash and Sword of Judgment, which are primarily used after the main skills during PvE, had weak damage. As such, we have improved Prime: Divine Power to be easier to combo with, and we increased the damage of Prime: Glaring Slash and Prime: Sword of Judgment.

Striker

Previously, Awakening Striker required Adventurers to switch to gauntlet to use the skill Massive Suppression, which is used to knock down enemies after grabbing. Adventurers had to switch to gauntlet or use movement skills such as Double Flash or Spiral Cannon – Ferocious Assault to move and then switch back to gardbrace to attempt a grab. This improvement will make it more convenient to use Massive Suppression and knock down enemies with the gardbrace.

      • However, the animation will be the same as one of Hell Break’s animations.

Corsair

For the Corsair Succession, it was difficult to continuously perform the same combos due to the high cooldown of Mareca, which has a high damage output. Therefore, we have made adjustments to allow for more frequent use of Prime: Mareca: Whale Song, Prime: Mareca: Spiral Soak and Mareca: Spiral of Dreams which are mainly used for defeating monsters. We have also increased the damage output of Serenaka so that it can deal enough damage even when Mareca is on cooldown.
