Male Slayer / Dark Knight Sprite Renewal

Dev's Note: We have updated the basic avatar visuals for Male Slayer / Dark Knight, which many adventurers have been waiting for for a long time. In addition, we applied a skill renewal for Berserker and Weapon Master, an update to improve the visuals of some job class old skills, and a performance supplement patch. We hope to provide a more satisfying play experience to adventurers.

Before (Left) vs. After (Right)

Blade Master

Dev's Note: In the case of Flowing Stance-type attack skills, the cooldown time for each skill was adjusted to be the same to enhance skill linkage and usability, and the skill casting speed was changed to be affected by the character attack speed.

In addition, the efficiency of weapon mastery was adjusted to alleviate the performance gap between the lightsaber and other weapons, and visual updates were made to old skills.
In the case of gear swordsmanship, the finishing attack process was improved to track and attack the target to compensate for the vulnerability against fast-moving, unholdable targets, and some of the functions of the decisive battle weapon options were transferred to skills to strengthen basic performance.

Short Sword Mastery: Physical weapon attack increase rate adjusted. Based on level 22: 44.3% → 48.3%
Katana Mastery: Physical weapon attack increase rate adjusted. Based on level 22: 36.7% → 40.7%
Bludgeon Mastery: Physical weapon attack increase rate adjusted. Based on level 22: 38.8% → 42.8%

Flowing Stance - Rise: Atk. +52.8%, Cool time increases (5s → 8s)

The air casting effect for each weapon has been adjusted so that when used in the air, the total attack is the same as when used on the ground.

Short Sword: Increases the number of multi-hits, increases the attack ratio of continuous cuts of the State of Incorporeity skill.
Katana: Increases the number of multi-hits, reduces the multi-hit attack rate

Lightsabre: Increases the number of multi-hits, reduces the multi-hit attack rate.

Changes to be affected by character attack speed, and basic skill casting speed increases.

Flowing Stance - Clash: Atk. +14.6%, Cool time increased (7s → 8s). Changes to be affected by the character's attack speed.

Changes from Test Sever:

Dev's Note: As this Flowing Stance skill was changed to be affected by the character's attack speed, we confirmed that it became difficult to link Flowing Stance series skills after activating Flowing Stance Clash when the character's attack speed was fast. To compensate for this, we have improved the pre-input time.
The key input time for linking Ryu-sim series skills has been improved.

Flowing Stance - Rise: Cool time reduced (9s → 8s) Staggering is reduced when using Lightsabre. Changes to be affected by the character's attack speed.

The stun effect of a 1-hit attack has been removed and changed to drag the enemy in.
When dragging enemies, it will be changed to collect them on the same Y axis as the character.
Changes from Test Sever:

Dev's Note: It was judged that the stun granting effect of the existing Charge Burst skill could be used in certain situations and some item options, so the function to stun the enemy upon the first hit was reinstated.
~~The stun effect of the 1st hit is removed~~, and the 1st hit is changed to pull the enemy in.

Illusion Sword Dance: Shockwave sound effects are added.
Lightning Draw Sword: Skill effects and sound effects are improved. Slash attack range increases.

Berserker

Dev's Note: Berserker has an overall short skill casting speed in line with the concept of a berserker, and is designed to perform fast-tempo battles based on this, but the number of attack skills is insufficient compared to other classes, so the gap between using a skill and using the next skill is felt significantly.
- To make up for this, it was deemed necessary to add two new basic skills and redefine the cooldown reduction effect that Berserker possesses, so some skill cooldown reduction functions that existed separately for Frenzy and Derange skills were removed and added to Frenzy skills. A function has been added to reduce the cooldown of all previous class skills except Awakening, and the values have been readjusted.
- In addition, we deleted the Burst Fury skill, which was judged to have greatly reduced conceptual appeal and usability, and added the new skill Brutal Crusher. We also performed visual updates for some outdated skills to improve the overall play experience.

Creator:

Dev's Note: In June, we supplemented skill usability through the Creative Space duration adjustment patch, but we confirmed that in situations where the battle becomes longer during party play, there is a gap between the buffer and awakening skill cooldown, making it difficult to use the skill.

Improved party invitation and participation features:

Dev's Note: Because party invitation and participation functions are only available on the same channel, there was inconvenience when forming a party with adventure friends or guild members.
- In particular, advanced dungeons, legions, and raids, where party play is active, require you to follow channels if you want to play with friends.
- So, in the case of adventure group friends or guild members, we have made improvements so that they can immediately invite and participate in the party even if they are on a different channel.
- In addition, since invitations can be made from other channels, the contents of the party application frame have been improved so that you can check the information of the invited party, and the adventure encyclopedia has been improved so that you can check the adventure encyclopedia within the party application frame so that you can conveniently check achievements.
Add pop-up menu UI function:
- A feature will be added to allow you to request party and raid invitations / participation from adventure group friends/guild members from other channels. Buttons are added to the pop-up menu UI for Adventurer friends/Guild members from other channels in Community - Adventurer Friends, Guild - Guild Members, and chat windows.

Party (raid) invitation/participation: Depending on your channel and party membership status, a pop-up menu will appear as shown below.

Channel	Party Membership Status	Output Name
Normal / Special / Legion	Join Party O	Party Invitation
Raid	Team Leader	Raid Invitation
Common	Join Party X	Party Invitation / Participation
Special / Legion / Raid	Join Party X	Participate In Party (Raid)
Etc		Pop-Up Menu

When accepting a party invitation request from another channel's adventurer friend/guild member, you will be moved to the party leader's channel.
When accepting a request to join an adventurer friend/guild member party from another channel, the other party will be moved to the party leader's channel.
