Sections

1. General Feedback

Topic: Maegu’s PvE performance outside BSR (15 upvotes)

Concern: Succession Maegu’s PvE performance is limited by low DPS outside of Black Spirit Rage

Implications: Maegu’s PvE performance is heavily dependent on BSR uptime, making her less viable for sustained damage output in PvE

Suggested Solution: Implement a self-buff for attack speed during BSR downtime or increase her baseline DPS for PvE.
---------------------------------------------------

Topic: Assassin Class Balance in PvP (5 upvotes)
Concern: Defense changes have rendered assassin classes less effective in PvP, as tanky classes now dominate with both high defense and strong damage. Assassin classes, intended to trade high damage for lower defenses, cannot compete under these conditions.
Implications: Assassin classes struggle to damage tanky opponents while remaining highly vulnerable, disrupting their core gameplay and purpose in PvP.
Suggested Solution: Balance the defense-to-damage tradeoff for assassin classes by increasing their damage output in PvP to restore their competitive viability against tanky classes.

2. Specific Skills

Skill Name: Prime: Foxflare (Shift + Q), Petal Play (Shift + LMB), Soul Tear (W + Q) and Ghost Bomb (A/D + RMB) (7 upvotes)
Concern: Both Foxflare and Petal Play are unprotected skills, leaving Succession Maegu vulnerable in 1v1 and small-scale encounters which limits Maegu's options and leaves her exposed without sufficient protection during engagements. This forces reliance on Flower Shroud (S/W + E) for cc. As for Soul Tear and Ghost Bomb, these skills have partial I-frame protection, forcing players to chain additional skills for full coverage, causing stamina issues and skill overuse.
Implications: Without Super Armor or protection on these key CC skills, Maegu struggles to compete with other classes. The lack of protection restricts her crowd control, leading to stamina depletion and overuse of skills to stay guarded, reducing her effectiveness in PvP.
Suggested Solution: Add Super Armor to Prime: Foxflare or Petal Play and make Soul Tear and Ghost Bomb fully protected, to increase Maegu’s stability, sustainability, and crowd control options in PvP.
---------------------------------------------------
Skill Name: Prime: Foxspirit: Deceiver (7 upvotes)
Concern: Restrictions on Maegu’s illusory doubles for skills like Foxflare, Petal Play, and forward movement with Flower Shroud were implemented due to her strength in PvP, where spawning clones in multiple directions made her highly effective in large group fights. However, following multiple damage nerfs this limitation now feels overly restrictive.
Implications: Without forward-moving clones, Maegu’s playstyle is less diverse and lacks the depth it once had. Reintroducing forward-moving clones would not only bring back strategic variety to her kit but would also create opportunities for players to adopt a more aggressive, high-risk, high-reward playstyle. This would enable Maegu to leverage clones offensively by engaging closer to opponents, which is challenging for a class designed for range but could lead to more impactful engagements when executed well.
Suggested Solution: Allow clones to move forward again, giving Maegu more offensive and strategic flexibility. This would encourage a broader range of tactical choices, rewarding players who are willing to take on added risk by positioning closer to opponents while still aligning with her core design as a ranged-focused character.

---------------------------------------------------

Skill Name: Prime: Foxspirit: Form (11 upvotes)

Concern: Maegu’s "E buff” currently provides minimal impact, as it effectively grants only 5 AP by overwriting her existing 20 AP self-buff.

Implications: The low AP increase reduces the value of the E buff, making it feel ineffective and underwhelming in PvE scenarios.

Suggested Solution: Adjust Prime: Foxspirit: Form provide AP increase that doesn’t override Maegu’s existing 20 AP self-buff or add attack speed to it.

---------------------------------------------------

Skill Name: Petal Blast (1 upvote)

Concern: Petal Blast can’t be canceled after the spin animation.
Implications: Without a cancel function, Maegu is locked into the full animation, reducing her responsiveness and ability to adapt quickly in PvP and PvE.
Suggestion: Allow the skill to be canceled after the spin animation

---------------------------------------------------

Skill Name: Spirited Away (3 upvotes)
Concern: Succession Maegu struggles to counter forward guard classes, limiting her options in PvP encounters.
Implications: Without an effective guard-breaking skill, Maegu struggles to break through defensive stances, putting her at a disadvantage against classes with strong forward guards reducing her competitive viability against tankier classes.
Suggested Solution: Add a 30% guard break effect to the first attack of Spirited Away, lasting 1-2 seconds. This adjustment would give Maegu a tactical option to challenge shield classes without making her overpowered.

3. Bugs/Issues

Bug/Issue Name: Clone Switch Functionality (13 upvotes)
Details: Maegu cannot switch places with her clone in certain situations, such as when the clone is on stairs or other structure. This prevents her from using this key mechanic effectively in various environments

Suggested Fix: Adjust clone switch mechanics to ensure consistent functionality across different terrains, preventing issues with clones.
---------------------------------------------------

Bug/Issue Name: Inconsistent Activation of Black Spirit: Prime: Heavenward Dance (W + RMB) (1 upvote)
Details: Occasionally, even with 100% Black Spirit Rage, the standard W + RMB activation occurs instead of the empowered Heavenward Dance. This issue is more frequent during frame drops or when performing combos.
Suggested Fix: Ensure that Heavenward Dance consistently activates with 100% Black Spirit Rage, even under frame drops or intense combo sequences, to improve reliability.
