Character
Striker
Developer Commentary
Striker's two weapons previously offered contrasting effects: Gauntlets provided more defensive benefits, while Gardbraces focused on offense.
However, Gauntlets are defined less by defensive play and more by swift, consecutive attacks and unpredictable offense, while Gardbraces excel at damaging multiple enemies with powerful area attacks. With this update, we focused on refining their effects to better highlight what makes each weapon unique.
First, we added the "Momentum" effect to Gauntlets to reinforce his strength in small-scale combat.
Each hit against an enemy Adventurer applies a stack that reduces their DP. After landing a certain number of hits, Striker also deals fixed damage and reduces the target's DP by 250, giving him an increasing advantage as the fight continues.
We also moved the Guardian Skill Sigil slot from Spirit Howl to Gale Force to give Striker more ways to outmaneuver opponents with Shoulder Thrust, Gale Force, and Hell Sweep. In addition, we increased the combo speed when using Gale Force after Shoulder Thrust.
Gardbraces require Striker to engage multiple enemies at close range, so we added a Total Damage from Adventurers Reduction effect when gaining Unshackled stacks to help him hold his ground in the thick of battle.
At maximum Unshackled stacks, we also added a 10% PvP Damage Increase effect to skills that use Echo Spirit, making Striker more threatening even within a short window.
We also found that Unshackled was difficult to stack or maintain due to its 5-sec duration. Even with a Combat Resource Recovery Memory Imprint equipped, its effect activates only once every 3 sec. We therefore increased the duration of Unshackled to 7 sec to improve its usability in combat.
Lastly, to reinforce the aggressive close-range combat style of Striker and Mystic, we increased the duration of Lightning Speed's First Blow effect to 3 sec and added a Damage from Adventurers Reduction effect.
- Added the "Momentum" effect when Gauntlets are equipped.
ㆍOn hit against an Adventurer, applies DP -40 to one target for 5 sec.
ㆍStacks up to 5 times and has a 0.5-sec cooldown.
ㆍAt 5 stacks, Momentum explodes, dealing 1,000 fixed damage and applying DP -250 for 5 sec.
ㆍMomentum cannot gain additional stacks while the DP -250 effect from its explosion is active.
- Added Total Damage from Adventurers -2% per Unshackled stack when Gardbraces are equipped. (Max 5 stacks)
- Increased the PvP damage of skills that use Echo Spirit by 10% at maximum Unshackled stacks.
- Increased the duration of the Unshackled passive from 5 sec to 7 sec.
- Increased the duration of First Blow from 2 sec to 3 sec.
- Added Damage from Adventurers -20% while First Blow is active.
Gale Force
- Changed its Flawless Skill Sigil slot to a Guardian Skill Sigil slot.
ㆍAny Skill Sigils equipped in the skill have been unequipped and can be found in the Chest of Sigil.
Spirit Howl
- Changed its Guardian Skill Sigil slot to a Flawless Skill Sigil slot.
ㆍAny Skill Sigils equipped in the skill have been unequipped and can be found in the Chest of Sigil.
Shoulder Thrust
- Reduced the time taken to perform Gale Force from 0.77 sec to 0.65 sec when comboing from Shoulder Thrust.
- Increased the likelihood of skills being used in combos during Auto-Combat.
- Fixed an issue where combo skills did not activate immediately when used after Shoulder Thrust, Gale Force, or Spiral Cannon while Flow: Tempest Fangs was activated for Energy Vacuum.
- Fixed an issue where Flow: Forward Guard was not applied when using Shoulder Thrust after a basic attack while running.
Mystic
Developer Commentary
Following the Transcendent Class update, Mystic's skill set was revamped to focus more heavily on offense.
With today's update, we focused on complementing Mystic's powerful, offense-focused skill set by allowing her to move more fluidly while maintaining offensive pressure.
First, we changed Deathstrike to advance while attacking when used with directional input and increased the maximum number of uses of Knee Thrust by 1.
These changes further emphasize Mystic's distinctive combat style, allowing her to fluidly chain movement and attacks while overwhelming enemies with her agile maneuvers.
In addition, Askeia's former "Damage Increase after Forward Guard" effect was changed to "Damage Increase when using a skill."
As removing Forward Guard from Wolf's Frenzy during its initial startup motion made the skill less practical to use, we moved the Radiant Skill Sigil slot from Twisted Collision to Wolf's Frenzy. We also added combos from Mystic's key attack skills into Wolf's Frenzy, allowing it to be used more actively in combat.
Lastly, we changed the Damage Reduction and HP Recovery effects to activate when attacking with skills instead of when struck, giving her more control over when to make use of them in combat.
We also added a Damage from Adventurers Reduction effect to Lightning Speed, a passive skill shared by Striker and Mystic, to encourage a more aggressive playstyle.
- Removed the DP-stacking effect triggered when struck from Blast Gauntlet's passive.
- Changed Martial Spirit to increase both AP and DP upon skill hit while Blast Gauntlets are equipped.
ㆍUpon every fifth activation of Martial Spirit, if MP is 100 or higher, all MP is consumed to apply Damage Reduction and restore HP.
- Increased the duration of First Blow granted by Lightning Speed from 2 sec to 3 sec.
- First Blow now grants Damage from Adventurers -20%.
Deathstrike
- Changed to move in the input direction while attacking.
ㆍWithout directional input, the character steps backward before attacking as before.
Knee Thrust
- Increased Max Charges from 1 to 2.
Twisted Collision
- Changed its Radiant Skill Sigil slot to a Faint Skill Sigil slot.
ㆍAny Skill Sigils equipped in the skill have been unequipped and can be found in the Chest of Sigil.
ㆍChanged the Skill Sigils in Recommended Presets to match the new Skill Sigil slot.
Wolf's Frenzy
- Changed its Faint Skill Sigil slot to a Radiant Skill Sigil slot.
ㆍAny Skill Sigils equipped in the skill have been unequipped and can be found in the Chest of Sigil.

System
Developer Commentary
When the Mountain of Eternal Winter was introduced in 2023, we also added Frost Highlands for new Adventurers between 35,000 and 38,000 CP who had not yet met the region's entry CP requirement. There, they could obtain Everfrost loot while preparing for the journey ahead.
Today, Adventurers can quickly reach 60,000 CP through the Season Pass and Adventurer Progression Log.
As a result, we found that many Adventurers were bypassing Frost Highlands and heading straight to the Mountain of Eternal Winter.
To streamline progression accordingly, we removed Frost Highlands in this update.
- Removed Frost Highlands.
ㆍAccordingly, saved location information for Frost Highlands was deleted.
ㆍCharacters located in Frost Highlands were moved to Velia during maintenance on Oct 6 (Tue).
- Improved the results screens for Martial God Tournament: Duo, Azunak Arena, Co-op Rush, and Atoraxxion so that your character now performs an animation based on whether you succeed or fail.

- Added a checkbox to skip the confirmation pop-up when refreshing candidates on the Hire Workers screen.
ㆍWhen checked, the confirmation message does not appear.

ㆍThe default hotkey is T.
※ If T is already assigned to another function, keyboard input may not work properly after maintenance. Check for duplicate key assignments under [Settings] - [Control], remove any duplicates, then log back in.
Language
- Changed the name of the preset used to equip skills from "Skills Assignment" to "Skill Preset."
ㆍ Changed the names of following items accordingly:
