Character

Developer Commentary

As introduced in the Developer's Note, several updates regarding Grab Skills are being applied in this update.

Grab Skills are powerful abilities that can temporarily neutralize opponents,
but the number of Grab Immunity effects available varied across different classes.

Grab Immunity was applied to skills where characters leap high into the air or quickly move and vanish,
to ensure the skill animations appear natural.

We removed the Grab Immunity effect if the animation wasn’t excessively awkward,
and added it for classes that had noticeably fewer Grab Immunity effects.

Additionally, we added Grab Immunity to certain skills where it was deemed necessary for balance,
and overall adjusted the number of Grab Immunity effects per class.

We also adjusted the activation timing of Grab Immunity when it was applied midway through a skill, to ensure the skill could perform effectively,
while preventing any one skill from becoming overly powerful by avoiding the simultaneous application of Forward Guard, Rear Super Armor, and Grab Immunity.

To ensure no class experiences consecutive grabs without a means to respond,
we have added a temporary Grab Resistance effect.

Following this update, we will thoroughly monitor how the effects related to grabs are used on the battlefield and make adjustments if necessary.





- Added Grab Resistance to all classes.


Grab Resistance

- Grants Grab Immunity for 4 sec when activated.
- Activates when grabbed twice consecutively within 8 sec.
- Immune to the third grab during the effect.
ㆍ Displays a Grab Resistance icon during the effect, similar to other status immunities.

 

- Multiple grabs with a single skill counts as multiple separate grabs.
ㆍ Example: Holding the Gladiator's Take Down button triggers two grabs via Flow: Double Take Down.

 

Example

- If Hwaryeong is grabbed by Zayed and then by Kunoichi within 8 sec, Hwaryeong gains Grab Resistance for 4 sec starting from the end of the last grab.
- If Hwaryeong is initially grabbed by the Gladiator's Take Down skill, which has two grabs, the Grab Resistance applies from the end of the second grab.



- Added Grab Immunity to certain class skills or adjusted the timing of the effect.
