Dark Fissure Streamlining
Developer Commentary
As part of our efforts to streamline content, we have removed Corrupted Land while maintaining the 19:00 start time for Dark Fissure, reducing the overall time required to complete the content.
Accordingly, we have increased Dark Fissure boss rewards to account for the loot previously obtainable from Corrupted Land, allowing Adventurers to earn a similar level of rewards in less time.
Azure Essence of Turasil, previously obtainable from Corrupted Land, can now be obtained by defeating Dark Fissure bosses.
Adventurers may obtain Crystallized Essence of Turasil by defeating bosses other than Kzarka.
This item can be exchanged with NPC Veloan for Azure Essence of Turasil I–VI.
Neither Crystallized Essence of Turasil nor Azure Essence of Turasil has a time limit, allowing Adventurers to use them whenever needed. Adventurers can choose to exchange the items immediately for a weaker buff or save up multiple items over time for a stronger buff, depending on their strategy.
We hope the streamlined Dark Fissure allows Adventurers to enjoy a more focused gameplay experience in a shorter amount of time.
- Changed Corrupted Land to no longer begin after defeating Kzarka in Dark Fissure.
ㆍRemoved the exchange option for Corrupted Land Loot Chest from NPC Veloan.
ㆍIncreased the rewards obtainable from Dark Fissure bosses and Kzarka.
- Added Crystallized Essence of Turasil as a reward for defeating bosses that appear before Kzarka.
ㆍCrystallized Essence of Turasil can be exchanged for Azure Essence of Turasil through NPC Veloan.

Character
Developer Commentary
Following the Transcendent Class update, we received feedback that certain classes' skills had become slower than before.
We conducted internal reviews and testing to identify the cause, and found that the attack speed of certain classes, including Warrior, had decreased. Before the Transcendent Class update, these classes used slow motion to make their attacks feel more impactful.
Slow motion was primarily used to enhance the impact of attacks in solo content, such as Boss Rush and mission-exclusive stages.
While actions appeared slower to the Adventurer playing the affected class, the effect was not visible to other Adventurers. As a result, the actions appeared different on each Adventurer's screen, causing synchronization issues. We determined that the reduced attack speed was a side effect of removing slow motion to resolve this issue.
For this update, we reviewed all classes and adjusted certain skills used by Warrior, Witch, Dark Knight, Hashashin, Lahn, Ninja, and Archer that previously used slow motion, restoring them to their original speed.
- Fixed an issue where certain skills used by the classes listed below were slower than before.

Warrior
Developer Commentary
We received feedback from many Adventurers requesting that various skills be replaced or added. In this update, along with restoring Warrior's skill speeds, we made improvements to better highlight the class's unique identity.
First, we removed Ground Smash and added Scars of Dusk.
Ground Smash was originally included to compensate for Warrior's underwhelming PvE performance. Despite its slow animation, the skill could attack a wide area and deal sustained damage through Unstable Earth.
However, its slow jumping animation left Warrior vulnerable to grabs and could disrupt the pace of combat. We determined that replacing it with a skill that addresses these drawbacks while maintaining his PvE performance would provide a more useful option. We therefore added Scars of Dusk, which offers numerous combo options and performs well in both PvE and PvP.
Before the Transcendent Class update, comboing into Scars of Dusk performed only two hits, resulting in somewhat underwhelming damage. The skill still performs two hits, but now deals the same total damage as three hits.
We also transferred the Radiant Skill Sigil slot from Ground Smash to Crushing Falcon. Crushing Falcon has a short cooldown, up to three charges, a quick animation, and solid damage. Its Guardian and Defined Skill Sigil slots also provide flexibility in various situations. By adding a Radiant Skill Sigil slot, we hope to provide even more options, such as turning it into an instant activation skill or increasing its number of charges.
Next, we'd like to discuss Piercing Spear.
Piercing Spear was designed as a zoning tool for Warrior, who primarily uses melee skills. However, it offered limited follow-up options after pressuring an enemy, so dash functionality was added. Flow: Into the Battlefield was later introduced, allowing the skill to be used solely for movement, and many Adventurers chose to use it with the Flow activated.
As a result, many Adventurers requested that Flow: Into the Battlefield be added back after the Transcendent Class update. However, Transcendent Warrior already has several dash and movement skills, including Slashing the Dead, Havoc Thrust, Off-Kilter, Helmet Smash, and Berserker's Charge. We determined that allowing Piercing Spear to function solely as a movement skill would give him excessive mobility with Greatsword selected.
We therefore improved Piercing Spear to better fulfill its original role as a zoning tool by extending the range of the thrown spear and reducing the target's Move Speed on hit. We also added combos from Havoc Thrust, Off-Kilter, Shield Charge, and Berserker's Charge, allowing Warrior to quickly throw the spear while pursuing enemies.
We also added All Branch Damage Reduction to Invictus Shield and fixed various issues, including the Defensive Stance button behaving differently than before. We hope these changes allow him to perform more reliably on the battlefield.
- Changed Defensive Stance to deactivate upon using a skill.
- Fixed an issue where the Defensive Stance icon appeared inactive after opening and closing the skill screen while Defensive Stance remained active.
- Added the following effect to Invictus Shield when Longsword is selected: "All branch damage taken -3% (Max 3 stacks)."

- Fixed an issue where the Defensive Stance icon flickered when using skills.
- Fixed an issue where the All Skill Damage +30% effect was not removed when switching from Longsword to Greatsword after hitting with Shield Charge.
Drakania
Developer Commentary
Following the previous improvements to Drakania, we continued to monitor performance data and made further improvements based on feedback from Adventurers.
In this update, we focused on balancing weapon effects and improving skill usability and controls.
First, we found that Wings of Ruin, one of Drakania's core skills, was less effective when using Trion. Forward Guard during Ionic Overflow previously activated only when Slayer was selected, making it difficult to use the skill safely with Trion. To address this, we retained the Damage Increase from Ionic Overflow while changing Forward Guard to activate regardless of the selected weapon, improving survivability while using skills.
Another area we addressed was Doombringer. When no directional input was provided, the skill attacked in place even when a target was nearby, potentially causing it to behave in unintended ways. To improve its controls, Doombringer now automatically flies toward and attacks the target when the target is outside its attack range, even without directional input.
To improve Drakania's ability to counter an opponent's Forward Guard, we adjusted Brimbolt Annihilation and Vorpal Thrust. She now passes through the target on the first hit of each skill, allowing her to immediately attack from behind. Vorpal Thrust now also activates instantly, allowing for a faster response during combat.
Additionally, we added combos from Impalement into core skills after a successful grab, addressing its limited follow-up options.
- The Awaken Hexeblood and Awaken Dragonblood effects now activate immediately after using Legacy.
- Fixed an issue where using Enhanced Attack with Ionic Overflow active did not remove Attack/Move Speed Reduction effects when Slayer was selected.
Wings of Ruin
- Changed Forward Guard to activate while charging even without Ionic Overflow.
Doombringer
- Changed the skill to automatically fly toward the target when out of range, even without directional input.
Brimbolt Annihilation
- Changed the skill to pass through the target on the first hit.
Vorpal Thrust
- Changed the skill to pass through the target on the first hit.
- Changed Vorpal Thrust to an instant activation skill.
ㆍRemoved the following combos as a result of this change:
Dragon Flight → Vorpal Thrust
Draconic Shockwave → Vorpal Thrust
Evasion → Vorpal Thrust
- Added the following skill combos.

Tamer
- Fixed an issue where the following skills would target a nearby enemy instead of the current target when used while mounted on Heuklang with Shortsword selected.
ㆍHot Spot, Divine Roar, Beck and Call, Dark Gaoler, Lightning Burn, Lupine Pounce
- Removed "Burn, Bleed, and Shock Immunity" from the description of Red Phoenix.
ㆍPreviously, using the skill only removed negative effects and did not grant Immunity.

- Fixed an issue where Archer appeared to be holding a weapon while Auto-Gathering with Greatbow selected.
Shai
- Fixed an issue where Shai held her Florang awkwardly while using Grow Big, Go!
Wizard
- Fixed an issue where the cooldown for Infernal Grasp would occasionally appear to reset when the skill was reused through Mana Echo.
