Warrior

Berserker

Maehwa

Dev Note For Maehwa Succession, we've increased her PvE damage mainly for wide-range skills, while also improving Whirlwind Cut so you can more easily reposition behind groups of monsters. We've also improved the combo from Decapitating Dragon into Prime: Blooming, making it smoother and more convenient. This also eases the difficulty of working Prime: Blooming into every combo due to its cooldown. That said, since adjustments like these can also affect PvP, we'll be monitoring the results closely to see if any further tuning is needed.

Valkyrie

Striker

Mystic

Lahn

Archer

Dev Note In both small- and large-scale PvP, Archer is currently dealing more damage than other offensively oriented classes, including other ranged classes. Even taking into account his playstyle as a long-range sniper on the ground with the greatbow, we found his damage output to be somewhat high, so we've adjusted his Special Attack Damage while in Watcher state. We've also adjusted Archer's ability to maintain Defensive Effects for extended periods and recover Stamina while doing so, so that quicker, more careful decisions are required in combat.

Shai

Corsair

Maegu
