Sorceress Succession is a class that can apply CC to multiple enemies from range and then close the gap to continue fighting in melee once an opening appears. However, as her ranged damage was slightly too high, adjustments have been made.- Adjusted the PvP damage for the following skills:
| Skill | Before | After |
![]() Prime: Dream of Doom
|
48.25% attack damage before fully charged in PvP only 51.06% attack damage when fully charged in PvP only |
43.43% attack damage before fully charged in PvP only 45.96% attack damage when fully charged in PvP only |
![]() Prime: Abyssal Flame
|
44.17% normal attack damage in PvP only 48.58% charged attack damage in PvP only |
39.55% normal attack damage in PvP only 43.5% charged attack damage in PvP only |

Valkyrie Succession has a playstyle that supports allies through her attacks and recoveries. However, the Damage Reduction from Guard and her passive skill, combined with the immunity to All Damage Reduction debuffs from Succession: Absolute: Heaven's Echo, allowed her to stay in combat with relatively little risk, so adjustments have been made.
- Removed the following effects:
- Removes All Damage Reduction debuffs when using the skill.
- Nullifies All Damage Reduction debuffs for 20 sec, with some exceptions.
- [Sorceress] Sinister Omen - Fixed the issue where the skill did not deal damage.
- [Witch, Wizard] Flow: Magical Evasion - Fixed the issue where defensive effects were applied incorrectly when using the skill after Speed Spell, Magical Shield, or Archwizardry: Mass Teleport.
- [Kunoichi] Prime: Shadow Stomp - Improved to instantly grant the Ninjutsu buff effect when comboed with other skills.
- [Nova] Fuse Gravity - Fixed the issue where the star summoned with Star's Ring in certain locations would not disappear upon using the skill.
- [Agent] Nantusa - Fixed the issue where the skill's range was applied incorrectly.

Inner Edania - Junk Item Exchange
Inner Edania - Junk Item ExchangeWith their continued growth, more and more Adventurers have been heading to the Inner Edania monster zones, while some of the high-tier monster zones have seen fewer visitors. The Magic Crystals obtained from those high-tier monster zones are still in steady demand, which has made them increasingly difficult to acquire. To address this, we're adding an exchange in Manage Currency that lets you exchange junk items obtained in the currently popular Inner Edania into key materials for some of these Magic Crystals.
- Added the option to exchange junk items from Inner Edania monster zones for Divine Coins.
