New and Improvements

SORCERESS
We've focused on improving Succession Sorceress, as she has lacked a distinct role in many combat situations.
Since her combat style combines both ranged and melee attacks, we aimed to make her ranged skills provide more stable control. To that end, the difficult-to-use Storming Crow can now be replaced with Prime: Bloody Calamity, which now provides both defensive effect and debuff to better counter enemies with AoE crowd control and ranged knockdowns. Additionally, Prime: Dream of Doom has been given Super Armor, allowing it to be cast more safely.
 
Main, Succession
Prime: Turn-back Slash
  • Changed so you now press ↑+△/Y to combo into Prime: Violation.
 
 
Absolute Darkness, Black Wave
  • Black Wave - Changed the key command to ↓ + R2/RT. Absolute Darkness - Changed so it now activates when repeatedly using Sinister Energy.
  • Absolute Darkness - Removed the Magic Damage Reduction on hits debuff. Adjusted the skill damage accordingly.
    • Before: 1574% x1, 58.48% damage in PvP only
    • After: 2046% x1, 58.48% damage in PvP only
  • Absolute Darkness - Increased the maximum projectile range by 60% of the previous Absolute skill level's range.
 
Prime: Dream of Doom
  • Changed to now apply Super Armor while casting.
    • Changed to no longer apply defensive effects when attacking or using Imminent Doom.
    • Changed to cost 150 Stamina per sec while casting, matching Prime: Bloody Calamity.
 
Storming Crow II
  • Changed the Bound effect to apply in PvE only.
    • Changed so that skills with both defensive effects and debuffs are now Prime: Bloody Calamity and Blade of Darkness.
  • Changed the Movement Speed debuff: -15% for 5 sec → -20% for 5 sec.
 
Prime: Bloody Calamity
  • Added Stun on attack 1 hits, Knockdown on attack 2 hits.
    • Also applied in PvP.
  • Removed bleeding damage and All Accuracy Decrease on hits.
 
Prime: Crow Flare
  • Changed the debuffs: Attack & Casting Speed -10% for 5 sec on hits → All Accuracy -36 for 10 sec on hits
 
Prime: Black Wave
  • Added Attack & Casting Speed -20% for 5 sec on hits.
 
Shadow Eruption, Dream of Doom
  • Improved to now be activated via a Quick Slot with your scythe.
 
Shadow Eruption
  • (I to Absolute) Removed the brief camera slowdown effect when used while idle.
 
 
Awakening
Shadow Leap
  • Improved so it can now be activated via a Quick Slot with your amulet.
 
Blade of Darkness
  • Changed the defensive effect: Forward Guard at the start of the skill → Forward Guard during the skill
 
TAMER
Awakening
Beast Rampage
  • Adjusted the extra attack's motion to match the actual hit detection.
  • Increased the number of extra attack hits by 1.
  • Increased the activation speed.
 
Allround Spinner
  • Increased the activation speed.
 
VALKYRIE
We've adjusted Succession Valkyrie to enhance her ability to engage or disengage, while also expanding the skills available for combos.
Succession: Ultimate Righteous Charge now grants immunity to CC from rear attacks, providing an additional option for safely advancing or retreating. Furthermore, improvements have been made so that Prime: Judgment of Light and Prime: Divine Power can be comboed together, allowing her to maintain defensive effects while dealing damage in combos.
Main, Succession
 
Prime: Judgment of Light (I to III)
  • (I to II) Improved so that you can now combo more quickly into Honorblade with a faster motion.
  • (I) Adjusted the slowdown effect on your character's motions when using the skill.
 
Prime: Divine Power
  • Improved to perform instantly when used via key command.
    • Using via quick slot will activate after the initial motion as before.
 
 
Succession: Ultimate Righteous Charge
  • Added the skill.
 
Righteous Charge
  • Improved so you can combo more quickly into Punishment, Just Counter, Prime: Judgment of Light, or Prime: Purificatione after hits.
 
NOVA
Awakening Nova's mobility has been improved in this update. In the previous patch, Twisted Orbit could no longer be used during cooldown, and movement was removed from Royal Fencing: Riposte, which weakened Nova's hit-and-run playstyle. Even in Accel. state, this playstyle felt less distinctive. To address this—without making the class harder to control—we've focused on enhancing mobility around Accel: Break Orbit, allowing Nova to move more freely and effectively.
Awakening
Accel: Break Orbit
  • Improved to activate up to 2 times continuously from any direction when holding the key command.
  • Applies Invincible even when activated continuously.
  • Changed the motion, adjusting it so consecutive activations from any direction now occur with the same timing.
 
Twisted Orbit, Accel: Twisted Orbit
  • Changed so you can now press R1/RB to combo into Royal Fencing: Lunge during cooldown.
 
CORSAIR
In PvE, Corsair has seen improvements to skill combos and a rebalancing of damage distribution. Previously, her Abyssal Legacy skill and Skill Enhancement (Rabam skills) contributed significantly to Corsair's overall damage. As a result, both Succession and Awakening Corsair had to rely on these skills to maximize their damage output. With this update, the damage from those specific skills has been reduced and redistributed across Succession and Awakening skills, while the damage of main Succession and Awakening skills has been increased. 

For Corsair Awakening, combos now flow more smoothly, letting you deal more damage by mixing up a wider range of skills. Movement skills like Tide-splitter Patraca and Sun-shielder Patraca have been made easier to use, and Pirate's Life For Me—which is often used before Ocean's Allure—now has a shorter cooldown. However, if you use Pirate's Life For Me while it's still on cooldown, its damage will be reduced. 
Main, Succession
Prime: Storming Gale
  • Improved to transition faster from attack 1 to attack 2.
  • Improved to combo faster into Prime: Wave Pout from attack 2.
Before After
 
Ocean Melancholy
  • Improved to combo faster into Rising Whirlpool and Tidal Surge.
 
  • Adjusted skill damage as follows.

WUKONG
For Wukong, there were cases where the "Wukong's Hair" buff caused unintended movement, as hitting an enemy with the Power Pole would trigger a dash in an unwanted direction. Now, if you lock Celestial Nectar, the dash effect will no longer activate on hit, giving you more control over how you use the skill. (The Summon shadows effect from Celestial Nectar will still activate, regardless of the lock setting.) 

We've also improved It Ain't Over! in the Fighting Buddha state. Now, Wukong will move a fixed distance—just like he does in his normal state—regardless of the "Wukong's Hair" buff. This change makes it easier to position yourself and apply debuffs in PvP. 
All
Celestial Nectar
  • Changed so that when the skill is locked, the effect of dashing toward enemies struck with your power pole during Wukong's Hair will no longer activate.
 
Heaven's Pivot
  • Increased the duration of Super Armor to now last until just before the finish motion after retrieving your power pole.
Before After
 
It Ain't Over!
  • Improved to now activate within a set movement distance when used in Fighting Buddha state regardless of the Wukong's Hair effect.
Before After

  • [Sorceress] Dream of Doom, Prime: Dream of Doom, Prime: Bloody Calamity - Fixed the issue where the skill descriptions did not display Stamina consumption while maintaining the casting.
  • [Mystic] Hurricane Kick - Fixed the issue where, after the skill, pressing R1/RB would activate Gushing Waters (Awakening skill) before Flow: Death Clout (Main Weapon skill).
  • [Mystic] Changed so attacking with R1/RB after jumping would always make you land regardless of height.
    • Fall damage based on height is still applied as before.
  • [Mystic] Flow: Strikethrough - Fixed the issue where your character would flicker when used on high ground.
  • [Mystic] Added effects to Flow: Strikethrough and R1/RB actions after jumping.
  • [Mystic] Wave Orb - Fixed the issue where texts about Accuracy remained in the description.

  • [Wukong] Improved the motion for sheathing weapons with △/Y when moving while in combat stance to appear more natural.
  • [Wukong] Improved the naturalness of certain social actions.
  • [Wukong] Fixed the issue where some Skill Enhancement key guides were not displayed correctly in Gamepad mode.

  • [Wukong] Improved the falling motion while airborne during Black Spirit: Upheaval.

  • Fixed the issue where summons weren't applying beneficial buffs to self and allies during World Boss subjugation.
  • [Lahn] Prime: Phantom Dance - Fixed the issue where your crimson glaives were displayed during the falling animation while using the skill.
  • [Lahn] Sacred Dance - Fixed the awkward animations when used with your crimson glaives.
  • [Deadeye] From Canary with Love - Fixed the awkward animation that occurred when using Marni Rounds.

Updates to Advice of Valks Boxes & Enchanted Scrolls (+100 or lower)

As your journey in Black Desert continues and you gain access to higher-level gear, the need for Advice of Valks—especially those with higher enhancement chances—has grown. To keep pace with these changes, we've updated certain Advice of Valks boxes. Previously, opening these boxes would give you a random Advice of Valks within a set range; moving forward, these boxes have been removed and you'll receive a guaranteed Advice of Valks with a fixed, equivalent value in their stead.

Additionally, we've decided to remove Enchanted Scrolls (+100 or lower), which required an extra step of processing with Black Stones before use. Instead, you'll receive Advice of Valks with the equivalent enhancement chance, streamlining the process and making it easier to enhance your gear. 
  • Deleted boxes which previously granted Advice of Valks within a certain range based on set probabilities, and provided Advice of Valks of same or higher value.
    • If the maximum obtainable enhancement chance ended in 5 prior to the change, the reissued Advice of Valks will be rounded up to the higher value.
      • e.g., Advice of Valks (15-25) → Advice of Valks (+30)
      • Enchanted Scroll (+35) → Advice of Valks (+40)
    • Applied the new rules to boxes, quest rewards, and Black Spirit's Adventure Dice rewards containing affected items, so Advice of Valks is now obtained accordingly.

    • If there are restrictions on changing presets for each system (such as skill cooldowns), applying the All-in-One Preset may fail.
 
※ In Black Shrine, you cannot change the All-in-One Preset during battles since you participate with pre-designated items.
※ The All-in-One Preset cannot be used during Red Battlefield; it will be added in the future.
