Character

Class-shared skills

[Normal] An effect has been added to the hits of the skill “Godslayer: Force Palm”: “Increases the boss’s suppression gauge by +50% with each successful hit.”
Currently, this effect can be utilized during specific mechanics within the “Inner: Edania” area.

• [Ranger] Updated the preview video for the skill “Absolute: Penetrating Wind” to accurately reflect its actual in-game effect.
• [Ranger] Mitigated an issue where a landing animation would occasionally trigger when transitioning from “Flow: Call from Sky” to “Flow: Air Explosion Shot”.
• [Maehwa] Fixed an issue where the skill “Red: Blooming” would trigger after using the skill “Prime: Decapitation” while the character was in the “Tiger Blade” state within the Succession.
• [Witch] Fixed an issue where the character would not perform the unique animation associated with the “Venia Riding Attire” when equipped.

• [Woosa] Fixed an issue where the attack animation for the skill “Bloomburst” would cut off prematurely.
• Fixed an issue where the character would not be holding a weapon when performing a “My Maid” social action after summoning the “My Maid: Woosa” companion.
• [Corsair] Fixed an issue where the Awakening skill “Heart-catcher Patraca” would occasionally fail to rotate the character when activated via a quick slot.
• [Nova] Adjusted the skills “Icy Fog” and “Break Orbit” so that the movement distance is consistent whether moving to the left or the right.
• Mitigated an issue where, when using skills that move the character behind an opponent on terrain with varying elevations, the character would occasionally arrive at an unintended or abnormal location.
