Warrior
Dev Note Prime: Take Down allows your character to grab his target regardless of the target's blocks or CC status effects. Even if the grab fails, because the cooldown for this skill is relatively short the skill could be used in quick succession until the grab succeeds. Therefore we decided to lengthen the skill's cooldown.
- Nerf Prime: Ground Slash Removed the Critical Hit Rate effect of Prime: Ground Slash skills.
- Rework Prime: Take Down Changed the cooldown for Prime: Take Down from 7 to 13 seconds.
- Rework Prime: Scars of Dusk Changed the damage dealt by Prime: Scars of Dusk skills as follows.
Rank Before After I Hit Damage 1042% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1355% x5 Hit Damage 938% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1220% x5 II Hit Damage 1162% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1510% x5 Hit Damage 1046% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1359% x5 III Hit Damage 1282% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1666% x5 Hit Damage 1154% x4, Max 2 Hits Last Hit Damage 1450% x5 - Nerf Prime: Take Down Lengthened the cooldown of Prime: Take Down.
Sorceress
- Bugfix Fixed the issue where Shard Explosion would not hit any targets when used by a character set to the shortest possible height customization.
Berserker
- Bugfix Prime: Raging Thunder Fixed the issue where the duration of Prime: Raging Thunder was shortened when using the skill while moving.
Musa
Dev Note We also reworked the Awakening skills Projection, Flow: Extra Credit, and Flow: Backflow, to be easier to combo in different ways, especially focusing on how Projection and Flow: Extra Credit pushes their targets so far that it was hard to follow up with a combo during PvE.
Dev Note With Succession, the Musa can use the Prime: Serene Mind buff to consume Stamina to continue using strong skills during their cooldowns. This includes skills with block and CC status effects, which we have observed is making Musa a difficult opponent. Therefore we introduced a cooldown for Prime: Serene Mind in the Global Lab. However, this change weakened one of the defining characteristics of Musa's Succession and made the class weaker in both PvE and PvP. This is why we decided to instead make the damage of certain skills less when used during cooldown when the Prime: Serene Mind buff is in effect.
- Nerf Flow: Extra Credit Reduced the attack ranges of Projection and Flow: Extra Credit. Therefore these skills will push targets less far.
- QoL Flow: Extra Credit You can now combo Flow: Extra Credit faster after Projection.
- QoL Below the Belt You can now combo Flow: Dash Slash after Below the Belt by holding the LMB.
- QoL Below the Belt You can now combo Flow: Backflow after Below the Belt by pressing+ LMB or ← + LMB.

- Buff Prime: Serene Mind Increased the attack range of the third hit of Prime: Gale with the Prime: Serene Mind buff.
- Rework Prime: Serene Mind Changed the duration of the Prime: Serene Mind buff from 5 to 7 seconds.
- QoL Prime: Serene Mind Changed the skill description of Prime: Prime: Serene Mind to hopefully be clearer.
- Nerf Rising Storm: Blaze Reduced the damage dealt by the following skills when used during their cooldown while consuming the Prime: Serene Mind buff. Rising Storm: Blaze Prime: Blooming Prime: Cyclone Slash Prime: Gale
- Rework Prime: Serene Mind Changed when the Stun effect of Prime: Blooming takes into effect while consuming the Prime: Serene Mind buff. Before Stun per each slash hit Now Stun at the first slash hit
- QoL Prime: Blooming The damage of Prime: Blooming will no longer be divided when hitting multiple targets.
- Bugfix Ultimate: Musa Spirit Fixed the issue where you could not get the Prime: Serene Mind buff while using Ultimate: Musa Spirit.
- Bugfix Rising Storm: Blaze Fixed the issue where casting the following skills during their cooldowns while consuming the Prime: Serene Mind buff was slow. Rising Storm: Blaze Prime: Gale Prime: Cyclone Slash
- Bugfix Rising Storm Fixed the issue where the following skills would be cast even when they were locked if the Prime: Serene Mind buff was activated. Prime: Gale Prime: Cyclone Slash Rising Storm: Blaze Prime: Blooming
Maehwa
Dev Note Maehwa's Awakening skills would have been especially affected by the accuracy effect changes of this week, especially when it came to their uniqueness and utility. Therefore we adjusted the attack range and damage of certain skills and added an All Evasion Rate reduction effect to Sticky Snowflake skills so that Maehwa's Awakening skills can still maintain some of their characteristics.
- Buff Sticky Snowflake Added an "All Evasion Rate -3%" effect to successful hits of Sticky Snowflake skills.
- Bugfix Sticky Snowflake Corrected the attack range of Sticky Snowflake skills to better match their graphical effects.
- Bugfix Maehwa: Ascension to Heaven Fixed the issue where the damage of Prime: Blooming and Maehwa: Ascension to Heaven was divided when hitting multiple enemies.

- Bugfix Purificatione Fixed the issue where Purificatione did not deal damage to targets right in front of your character when it was used consecutively.
Kunoichi
Dev Note The Succession skills Prime: Flash Slash and Black Spirit: Prime: Flash Slash not only deal high damage but also has Super Armor and Invincible effects and even allows you to move during the skill. Therefore we decided to adjust the PvP damage dealt by these skills.
Dev Note As for Kunoichi's Awakening skills, since you can now combo Danse Macabre during Lunatic Discus or Chain Crash: Sah Chakram we will also allow for you to evade during these skills. Moreover, since you can now use Chain Crash: Sah Chakram during its cooldown so you can use it between core skills in addition to Wheel of Wrath.
- Bugfix Fixed the issue where the Sah Chakram briefly became transparent in between using Lunatic Discus and Danse Macabre.
- Nerf Smokescreen Changed the All Evasion Rate effect of Smokescreen skills as follows.

Ninja
Dev Note We have also adjusted the duration of continuous damage effects such as burn, poison, and bleeding damage effects. They caused so much damage they rendered HP Potions effectively useless for long periods, but these effects should now be better contained within the duration of a battle.
Dev Note When you compare the Succession skills of Ninja that of Kunoichi, with whom he has many skills in common, Ninja's skills have greater attack range and faster combos that can deal high damage. This meant that it was possible to defeat characters with high DP even with relatively low AP. Therefore, we have adjusted the PvP damage dealt by certain skills.
Dev Note In addition, since the only skill to switch from Shortsword to Sura Katana mode was Awakening: Narusawa's Sura Katana we have amended Sudden Decapitation to allow transition from Shortsword to Sura Katana mode.
- Nerf Smokescreen Changed the All Evasion Rate effect of Smokescreen skills as follows.

- Bugfix Serpent Ascension Fixed the issue where the wrong number of hits was written in the skill description for the transition stance attacks of Serpent Ascension.
Striker
Dev Note A primary feature of Striker Succession skills is Prime: Discharge Energy and its effect. However using the Prime: Discharge Energy effect makes your character sluggish, which frustrated many adventurers. This is why we have reduced the sluggishness when using Prime: Discharge Energy and made it easier to combo smoothly, in a way that still befits a skill that is supposed to discharge energy. We have also made it so that Flash Step will be strengthened after Succession so it will be easier to move while using core Striker skills.

- Bugfix Fixed some typos and phrasings in the following skills.

- Bugfix Prime: Discharge Energy Fixed the issue where WP was not consumed when using Prime: Wolf's Fang instead of Prime: Discharge Energy.
Mystic
Dev Note We envisioned Mystic's Succession skills to be used in chains of attacks. However certain skills could not be used consecutively during cooldown, disrupting potential combos. This is why we have changed these skills so that they can be used consecutively even during cooldown. Also, since it was harder to move Mystic with her Succession skills compared with her Awakening skills, we have reworked Succession: Flash Step so it can be used three times consecutively after Succession.
- Bugfix Dash Buster Fixed the issue where CC status effects were applied to all hits when Hidden Claw was used after Dash Buster.
- QoL Flash Step Flash Step skills will now be strengthened after Succession. You can now use the skills three times consecutively. Stamina will be consumed when using the skills consecutively.
