DP Build Balance Adjustment

The "defense meta" in PvP has been one of the most talked-about topics among Adventurers, with a lot of feedback over time. At the last Calpheon Ball, we announced that changes were coming to address this meta. Since then, we have run extensive internal tests and reviews, and our findings show that rebalancing the stats of the Dawn Crystals is the best path forward.

The main reason the defense meta has stayed so strong is that Dawn Crystal - Damage Reduction increases your displayed DP. Combined with bonus DP stats, this has given the build extremely high defensive efficiency. As a result, once Adventurers reached enough AP to secure kills, they often focused the rest of their gear on the highly efficient Dawn Crystal - Damage Reduction, achieving both high AP and high DP in what is widely called the "balance build."

This created an unfair situation: Adventurers running attack-focused builds struggled to take down those with balance builds, while balance builds could often defeat attack builds in a single skill combo. To resolve this, we have changed how Dawn Crystal - Damage Reduction works. Its effect will now only grant All Damage Reduction stats, no longer affecting displayed AP or DP. We considered adjusting the bonus AP and DP stats as well, but for now, we believe this change to the Dawn Crystal will address the main issue.

However, only making this change could make attack-focused builds too dominant. For this reason, we have also rebalanced Evasion and Accuracy stats to provide clear synergy and counterplay between builds. By tuning the stats on Dawn Crystal - Evasion and Dawn Crystal - Accuracy, attack-focused builds will now have a harder time dealing damage to Evasion-based builds, but Accuracy-focused builds will be better at landing hits and dealing more damage.

Since this update will have a big impact on PvP, we will keep monitoring and making adjustments after it is applied to the live servers to ensure a better PvP environment. Thank you.

LAHN

Succession

Prime: Blooming Aroma (III to IV)

Adjusted the All AP buff: +1 → +2.

SHAI

Previously, Shai had no skills that could trigger Down Attack. Since Down Attack is now required in high-end monster zones such as Star's End and during Olvia Academy's combat courses, some of her skills have been updated to include the Down Attack effect, improving her effectiveness in those situations.

All

Kwik-Two, Hop-Three

Added the Down Attack effect.

Outta My Way!

Adjusted the All AP buff when using the skill by consuming 3 Florin's Leaves: +30 → +32.

GUARDIAN

Succession

Prime: Frostbitten Axe V

Adjusted the All AP buff: +2 → +4.

Extra Damage to Guard Gauge Removed

Removed the extra Damage to Guard Gauge effect from all character skills.
- Accordingly, Succession Corsair has been adjusted as follows:

NOVA

Succession

Prime: Frozen Darkness, Succession: Rime Ice

Adjusted the All AP buff when using the skill: +28 → +32.

Awakening Nova is difficult to control due to her extreme speed and narrow attack range.
We are implementing adjustments to ensure her strengths better reflect this high skill ceiling. Specifically, we have updated Twisted Orbit so that, on hits, Adventurers can relentlessly pressure enemies with stab attacks until CC is applied.

Awakening

Twisted Orbit, Accel: Twisted Orbit

Changed so cooldowns now reset on attack hits.

SAGE

DEADEYE

All

The Canary Way

The Canary Way XVIII and XX - Adjusted the All AP buff: +1 → +2.

SERAPH

In large-scale combat, Seraph has been able to consistently pressure the enemy's flanks thanks to its high mobility. However, with the addition of Skill Enhancement (Rabam) skills, its intended weakness, "limited ability to inflict damage while maintaining Defensive Effects", has faded. Currently, the class can deal damage while staying protected and mobile. To address this, we are adjusting the class to preserve its burst mobility while making it harder to sustain mobility indefinitely.

All

Vanguard Chase

Adjusted Stamina consumption when using the skill continuously via the Dauntless Will effect: 50 → 100.

Impelling Thrust, Sacra: Impelling Thrust

Adjusted Stamina consumption: 75 → 200.

Impelling Surge, Sacra: Impelling Surge

Adjusted Stamina consumption: 150 → 200.

Horizon Slash, Sacra: Horizon Slash

Changed so Stamina no longer recovers when using the skill.

Purga: Unveiled Enmity

Changed so it can be used even while on cooldown.
- However, the effects of Purga: Sanguine Heart will not be activated if the skill is used during cooldown.

Class Changes

[Wizard] Controlled Madness - Fixed the Critical Hit Rate Increase description in the buff icon so it now matches the actual effects when using the skill.
[All Classes] Black Spirit's Rage 100%, 200% - Fixed the issue where the cheer animation was sometimes triggered by looting rare items during the skill.
[Warrior] Balance Strike - Fixed the issue where the Awakening skill effect was excessively bright.
Light's Mark → Shadebound Beam
- [Guardian] Absolute: Strike Down - Fixed the issue preventing learning the skill if Gate Crasher was learned first.
[Seraph] Wrenching Impale - Improved the skill to be comboed into other skills while Unshakable Will II is active.
[Seraph] Purga: Judgment of Justice - Improved the skill so it could be comboed into Purga: Unveiled Enmity.
[Seraph] Gallows Grip - Added a note to the skill description: "Not affected by effects which increase/decrease Attack and/or Casting Speeds."
[Ranger] Fixed the issue where the Kamasylven Sword would disappear when moving after switching to non-combat stance.
[Kunoichi] Fixed the issue where certain instruments appeared awkward while playing music.
[Wizard] Controlled Madness - Fixed incorrect parts of the skill description that did not match the actual effects.

[Woosa] Fandown - Fixed the issue where the attack 2 would not trigger when spamming the skill via the Ring Menu.
[Deadeye] Bombs Burstin' in Air - Fixed the issue where the character would not hold the Lil' Devil when comboing into the skill after a forward jump.
[Seraph] Purga: Spreading Violence - Fixed the issue where the All Evasion Decrease effect was applied even when the skill was used on cooldown.
[Seraph] Impelling Thrust - Changed so the "Not enough Stamina" message would not trigger when using the skill while in Purgatum, even if Stamina was insufficient.
