Warrior

Dev Note The character balance adjustments we have started since our last updates do not only aim at finding the balance between Monster Zones and PvP, but also that between characters, and between Awakening and Succession. The last skill adjustments we made for some characters will be followed by Awakening-Succession adjustments, starting with Warrior. Our main concern is to allow you to choose between Awakening and Succession depending on your individual preferences or tastes, instead of weighing these two for their damages or efficiencies. We will also do our best to release the Successions of other pending characters successfully.
