[Updates] Patch Notes - July 9, 2026

Warrior

Dev Note We have improved Warrior Succession's combos that previously felt clunky due to the misaligned cooldowns of each skill. With the damage and usability of Prime: Forward Slash and Absolute: Ground Slash improved, incorporating these two skills into your combos will now result in smoother combos and more consistent damage.

• Buff Succession: Warrior's Spirit (Main Weapon, Succession) 978% x 1 100% damage in PvP only3032% x 1 32.26% damage in PvP onlyPvE +210.0%PvP +0.0%~ 🔗

• Buff Deep Ground Slash (Main Weapon, Succession) Adjusted the attack area of Warrior's Spirit attack applied to the skill to match its visual effects. The Warrior's Spirit attack now also hits nearby targets. 🔗
• Buff Prime: Forward Slash (Main Weapon, Succession) Adjusted the attack area of Warrior's Spirit attack applied to the skill to match its visual effects. It now has the same offensive effects as Prime: Forward Slash. Improved the skill to now also increase Attack Speed upon learning Ultimate: Forward Slash. However, the movement distance is slightly decreased. Added a smoother transition into attack 2 after Prime: Heavy Strike. Changed so that the skill can be comboed again after a brief delay following attack 3. Improved so that the skill can be comboed into Severing Thrust or Counter after the skill. Changed Recover WP per hit: 60/80/10090/120/150. 🔗
• Buff Spinning Slash (Main Weapon, Succession) Improved the skill to rotate the character with the camera at the start when using the skill after other skills, such as Counter. 🔗

Valkyrie

Dev Note For Valkyrie Succession, we adjusted the cooldowns of skills other than Prime: Judgment of Light and Prime: Divine Power to make it easier to build combos around these two skills. Additionally, we adjusted the Skill Add-on tier for Prime: Sword of Judgment, making it easier to maintain its Skill Add-on buffs.

Dev Note The damage of Valkyrie Awakening's Awakening skills was increased so that high damage output can be maintained using only combos focused on those skills, without having to rely on Main Weapon skills like Celestial Smite or Honorblade.

Ninja

Dev Note Ninja Awakening uses quick motions to weave most of his skills into his combat flow. However, some of the skills used in his combos dealt low damage, resulting in lower-than-expected average damage output. To address this, we have increased the damage of some skills.

Striker

Dev Note We improved the usability of Striker Awakening's Endless Fight, allowing it to be used in the Fallout → Endless Fight → Autumn Blaze combo. Additionally, we increased the PvE damage of skills that were previously avoided due to their low damage, ensuring their damage now matches that of the main skills.

Nova

Corsair

Dev Note Most of Corsair Succession's Recover HP effects were tied to Mareca skills, which generally take longer to use. To address this in PvE, we have added or increased the Recover HP effects of non-Mareca skills. Additionally, we have improved her damage output in situations that require repositioning, such as attacking monsters from behind, as it previously felt lacking compared to using skills quickly while stationary.
