● New 'Miniature Elephant' Mount has been added.

* ‘Miniature Elephant’ is capable of using the followed skills:

- Fore Chop (F): Raises its front feet and slams the ground. There is no attack decision effect.

- Quick Run(Shift W): Hit W to start 4-level acceleration.

- Quick Turn(S D or S A): You can take a turn in a more abrupt manner.

- Quick Halt(S): You can stop more quickly with a shorter braking distance.

- Quick Start(Q): Q to dash forward from a standstill. You will stop eventually if no key commands are applied after Quick Start.

- Rampage(Space): Miniature Elephent will raise its front feet and roar. (The adventurer will gain HP/MP auto recovery amount +19 buff.)

- Side Steps(S or A): Miniature Elephant’s skill that is equivalent to Sideways.

- Joyride(F): Miniature Elephent’s skill equivalent to Instant Accel. It can be used only at 3-level acceleration or higher.

● New quest has been added where you can receive “Voucher: Miniature Elephane” from Serazad, the Villa Butler of Shakatu.

● 'Miniature Elephant' gears have been added to Horse Gear Workshop.

 

• Attack (AP) of the following skills has been improved.

  • DP of characters and some monsters (Hystria, Aakman, and etc.) had been increased in the recent balance patches. As a result it became harder for characters who utilize summoning skills as summoned creatures/magic circles/formation did not get an AP boost. This is the reason behind the AP improvement of summoning skills.

  • Summoned creatures/magic circles/formation spawned by a character will get stats that combine the AP of the summon itself and the stats of the character (excluding bonus stats).

 

• [Heilang]

  • Starting with AP +30 for Summon Heilang I, AP will increase by +5 for every level of the skill which means Summon Heilang XI would spawn Heilang with AP +80.

 

• [Blade of Darkness]

  • Starting with AP +20 for Blade of Darkness I,  AP +25 for Blade of Darkness II, and AP +30 for Blade of Darkness III.

 

• [Projection]

  • AP +30

 

• [Gorr, Marg, Arne, Tett]

  • AP +80

 

• [Toxic Flood, Lava Field]

  • AP +30

 

• [Echo Spirit]

  • AP +50

 

• [Delighted Blast]

  • AP +30

 

• [Sea Dragon]

  • AP +30

 

• [Ninjutsu: Sinew Cut]

  • AP +30

 

• Fixed the issue where the CC skill effects of certain skills only applied to the first hit so the CC skill effects could not be applied to distant targets.

- Before Change: CC skill effect only applied to the first hit of the skill motion.

- After Change: With certain skills, CC skill effect will now be applied to the other skill affected areas besides the first hit area.

• The changes above do not apply to skills against single targets. This applies to skills like Spiral Torpedo and Spiral Cannon which are skills performed while the character is on the move as well as skills like Wailing Wind and Flow: Ancient Wave in which the attack range itself moves.

• However, CC skills do not stack on a single target

          - For skills Wailing Wind where the attack is inflicted forward, CC skill effects like Knockback will now be applied not only on the first hit of the skill, but on the latter hits as well.

          - For skills with skill motions that are relatively longer in time, CC effects of one set of skill may be stacked.

• For example, Kunoichi’s skill Tendon Cutter applies CC skill effect on every hit. Since the duration of each hit’s skill motion is relatively longer than other ordinary skills, the CC skill effect is able to stack.

 

• Please check updates per class below.
   

• Fixed the issue where IMMUNE text would be displayed when CC skill effects and Smash effects were applied at the same time.

• It has been edited that characters who do not have a weapon equipped would appear with the Main/Sub-weapon on the Character Selection screen.
