1. Character Utility Improvements

The first character utility improvement update for 2024 is being conducted.

 
Developer's Notes:

This character utility improvement consists of 8 characters, with improvements being made on aspects that felt unpleasant or unreasonable when playing as them.

 

While one goal was to minimize changes to how each of these characters operate, there may be some less predictable changes in DPS performance, depending on what was altered. For now, we will keep the power of each skill the same while applying the changes below, but please understand that we may need to adjust the power level of some skills down the road.

 

Additionally, it seems that Sanyaa is performing well in all raids right now, but since it is difficult to apply changes so soon after release, we plan to make appropriate adjustments to her once we have more data. However, we do not plan on changing the structure of the character. We will instead make changes by adjusting her damage output.
 

Sylas
  • When you are attacked by an enemy during the following, the period in which the attack animation does not occur will increase by approximately 24%.
    • Wraith Slash
    • Wraith Shot
    • Phantom Shooter
    • Cyclone Saw
 
  • Following attacks have an added aspect where Sylas can dodge enemies' attacks.
    • Cyclone Crash <Enhanced Attack> (added 30 frames)
    • Illusion Fist <Enhanced Attack> (added 33 frames)
 
  • Following active skills have an added aspect where Sylas can dodge enemies' attacks.
    • Active: Impulse Zone (added 45 frames)
    • Active: Illusion Shield (added 35 frames)
 
  • When the following attacks are successful, the number of Phantom Shards that can be obtained is increased from 2 to 3.
    • Normal Attack (3rd hit)
    • Normal Attack (4th hit)
 
  • When the Spirit Rend attack is successful, the amount of stamina recovered is increased from 20 to 35.
  • Fixed the issue where damage was occasionally applied multiple times when attacking with Wraith Slash in battle.
  • When acquiring a Phantom Shard through a normal attack, the duration will be displayed as a status effect.
  • The M. ATT and DEF effects of the Phantom Force status effect per stage are updated as follows.
Stage

  • When using Vision Dash, the time that Sylas can dodge enemies' attacks is increased by approximately 21%.
  • When using Vision Dash consecutively, the second Vision Dash can be used more quickly.
 
  • Active: Spectral Sting's projectile hit range is increased.
 
  • When using Cyclone Crash <Enhanced Attack> and Illusion Fist <Enhanced Attack>, the character can now withstand some attacks while charging for the attack.
  • When using Illusion Fist <Enhanced Attack> without inputting a directional key, the distance traveled is decreased.
    • If you input the directional keys you will attack, moving the same distance as before.
  • When Cyclone Crash is used without dodging, while charging for a set duration, additional enhanced attack is activated.
  • When Illusion Fist is used without dodging, while charging for a set duration, additional enhanced attack is activated.
    • Additional enhanced attack can inflict 15% more damage to enemies than a normal enhanced attack.
 

Lynn - Glaive
  • Killer Dart attack can be used without charging for the following attacks.
    • Thunderleg
    • Little Rat
    • Wind Step
 
    • It will now cost 14 Stamina when chaining the above attacks with Killer Dart.
 
  • Fixed being able to use Killer Dart without charging (by using Phoenix Feather, etc.) during battle.
    • When using Killer Dart by charging while moving, the fastest time Lynn can activate it (from the moment Lynn begins charging) is increased by approximately 15 frames.
    • When attacking with Killer Dart, the range at which enemies are hit is increased.
    • When you use Killer Dart after Wind Step, the distance the character moves is approximately 50% of the distance of the basic Killer Dart attack.
 
  • Fixed it so Thunderleg does not chain to Iron Monkey.
  • When attacking with Five Finger Death, the range at which enemies are hit is increased.
  • When attacking with Five Finger Death, if the boss or the last monster hit is nearby, the camera will quickly rotate towards the target and the attack will happen while looking straight ahead.
  • Improved so that when successfully attacking with Fishtail Pole, 2 Swift Assassin Strikes are inflicted.
  • When attacking with Active: Iron Flag, the range of the forward explosion attack is slightly increased.
  • Fixed an issue where key inputs would not apply when using Thunderleg, by rapidly inputting the dodge key in succession while using Active: Jade Fox.
  • The attack range for Active: Chambers of Death is slightly increased.
Developer's Notes:

There was an inconvenient and unreasonable structure in place, where effectively using Glaive Lynn required near-exploits, such as using Killer Dart without charging through Phoenix Feathers, to reach her full potential.

 

However, considering that the "Phoenix Feather Play" has been used for a long time now, we modified it so that Killer Dart can be used immediately without charging after a specific action. Due to this update, there's an expected change in performance for the entire player base (including players who did not use the technique) so we will closely monitor her results.
 

Dan-Ah
  • When using Soul Tracer, the timing to switch to movement is adjusted to be faster without having to dodge or perform other actions.
  • MP Cost for using Soul Tracer is decreased from 70 to 60. 
  • When using the Fickle Fate attack, the timing in which the enemy's attack can be offset is increased by 13% compared to previously.
  • When using Soul Barrier, the timing in which you can defend against enemy attacks is increased by 14% compared to previously.
  • When Active: Great Beyond is activated, the range at which enemies are hit is increased.
 
  • When using Final Gate: Purge and Final Gate: Unleashed, and then using Curse Breaker without inputting a directional key at the same time, the distance traveled is decreased.
  • Improved it so that stamina is recovered by 15 when the Curse Breaker attack is successful.
  • When using Soul Tracer, the period in which you can dodge enemy attacks is increased by 28%. 
 
  • When using Soul Strike, the range at which enemies can be attacked is slightly increased. 
  • The timing for chaining Spirited Dash after attacking an enemy with the additional hit from Soul Strike has been adjusted to be 8 frames faster than before.
 
  • When using Soul Barrier, the distance Dan-Ah moves backwards is decreased.
  • When using Soul Tracer after successfully defending with Soul Barrier, throwing weapons have improved accuracy. 
 
  • When using Spirited Dash, MVT SPD is increased by 10% compared to previously.
    • The timing for the dodge hit box is the same as before.
  • When using Active: Ritual of Ending without inputting a directional key at the same time, the forward distance traveled is decreased.
    • If you input the directional keys you will attack, moving the same distance forward as before.
 

 

Delia
  • The conditions for the Vigor level falling are alleviated, as follows.
Vigor Stage
Previous
Change
Stage 3
4 hits
6 hits
Stage 2
6 hits
8 hits
Stage 1

  • When successfully attacking with Rising Comet, the effect duration of Keen, Perfect Keen, and Fighting Spirit are increased by up to 1 second.
  • When successfully attacking with Falling Comet, the effect duration of Keen, Perfect Keen, and Fighting Spirit will increase by up to 2 seconds.
 
  • Updated Full Moon as follows:
    • Updated so that when hitting an enemy with a finisher attack, you gain 20 SP.
    • Updated so that after the finisher attack, it can be chained starting from the second hit of the normal attack.
    • Updated so that when performing a finisher attack, the effect durations of Keen, Perfect Keen, and Fighting Spirit are increased 0.5 seconds.
 
  • Updated Active: Zenith as follows:
    • Removes the effect of destroying armor when used.
    • Updated Active: Zenith so that it can be used in Royal Army.
    • The duration of the Fighting Spirit and Perfect Keen effects obtained upon use have been adjusted from 120 seconds to 130 seconds each, and the timing at which the effects are applied have been adjusted from after the skill animation has finished to immediately after the skill is used.
    • There was a problem with the Fighting Spirit and Perfect Keen effects sometimes not applying when another animation was played, following the use of Active: Zenith. It has been adjusted as noted above.
    • When using Rising Comet or Falling Comet, while the Fighting Spirit effect still remains after using Active: Zenith, the Vigor effect will be updated to Stage 3.
 
  • Rising Comet and Falling Comet are added to the Full Force activation requirement.
 
  • Added a sparkling effect to the tip of the Bastard Sword in the following situations, as well as sound effects.
    • After learning Rising Comet, it can chain from Rings of Saturn.
    • After learning Falling Comet, it can chain from Orbital Flurry.
    • After learning Falling Comet, it can chain from Active: Cosmic Blitz.
    • A dodge hit box is added in above situations, from when the effect begins until the end of the animation.
 
  • Fixed it so that Wild Star's charge attack always grants the Lv. 1 Vigor effect.
    • If the attack is successful, you will gain 2 additional Vigor stages just like before, allowing you to obtain the Vigor Stage 3 effect.
 
  • Updated to allow chaining Active: Ion Thrust after the following attacks.
    • Solar Flare
    • Starbloom
    • Lunar Assault
      • In accordance with the above changes, the skill description of Active: Ion Thrust will include the types of skills that can be chained.
 
  • The stamina consumption of Meteor Impact was reduced.
Current Stamina Consumption
Updated Stamina Consumption
15
8
  • Adds the new status effect Rose's Revenge.
    • When Delia successfully blocks an enemy's attack with Eclipse, a red rose effect will appear, and she will gain the Rose's Revenge status effect.
    • This status effect lasts for 20 seconds and increases the damage of the next Rising Comet or Falling Comet by 30%.
    • Added a description of the new status effect, Rose's Revenge, to the skill description of Eclipse.
Developer's Notes:

The penalty for Delia's powerful Active: Zenith was too strong and made it difficult to use across the game, the cycle took too long to prepare, and the Vigor effect did not fit the current raid meta. It was determined that these aspects were what made playing Delia inconvenient and unreasonable.

 

The effect of her armor being destroyed when using Active: Zenith made it difficult to use in content like Space Time Distortions.

 

We went back and forth about removing the armor destruction effect because it was Delia's unique concept... but we decided that it was just too harsh for Delia, who lacks defensive mechanics. We ask for understanding from players who prefer her original armor destruction concept.

 

Additionally, we made a change to continuously renew Vigor effect to stage 3 after using Active: Zenith, while the Fighting Spirit effect is active, so that players can focus on dealing damage while in that state.

 

Also, the Perfect Keen effect was changed to slightly increase in duration when performing certain actions. This should complement Delia's DPS performance in long battles rather than short ones.

 

Delia is currently showing low DPS performance in Redeemers and Space Time Distortion battles, but with the above changes we hope she will be improved somewhat.
 

Latiya
  • The following skills have been updated so they are easier to hit enemies.
    • Hunt Breathing
    • Rhino Rush used after Crocodile Scales
 
  • Add the following to the skill description for Hunt Breathing.
    • Cheetah Strike can restore Warrior's Claw through a swinging or slashing attack with the lance.
    • The above content simply adds missing parts to the explanation. Restoring Warrior's Claw is the same as before.
 

 

Letty
  • Updated so that the weak point can be partially destroyed when hitting an enemy with the giant bomb of Active: Letty Bomba, or when dealing damage with the ground explosion effect of the giant bomb.
  • Updated the following skill to enhance the bomb of Active: Firecracker.
    • Dealing damage with Standing Flip or Active: Beautiful Blaze will enhance the bomb by 1 stage.
  • The duration of the bomb attached to an enemy via Active: Firecracker is increased from 15 seconds to 20.
 
  • When the following attacks hit an enemy within a certain range, damage is increased by 5%. When the damage increase effect is applied, the damage is marked in yellow.
    • Trooper: Crushing Blow, Trooper: Twisting Blow (Normal attack 2 times - Smash Combo)
    • Trooper: Piercing Strike, Trooper: Storm Smite (Normal attack 3 times - Smash Combo)
    • To avoid confusion with the above effect, other damage previously marked in yellow is changed to red.
 
  • Updated Swift Recoil as follows:
    • When guarding an enemy attack with Swift Recoil, cooldown decreases by 3 seconds.
    • When using Swift Recoil, the long press control is removed. However, the motion can still be used with the same long movement distance by pressing the directional keys at the same time.
 
  • Projectile hit radius is increased by 30% when enemies are nearby, making it easier to hit with Kradie Blast and Kradie Burst.
  • Using a normal attack, after using Quick Slip or Slip Sliding, will now chain to a second normal attack.
 
Developer's Notes:

Letty is one of the characters in charge of Core Breakoff in a raid party, but recently (as the play time for battles has become shorter) there have been frequent instances where Letty cannot use Active: Firecracker twice. Therefore, we've added an additional effect of destroying weak points for Active: Letty Bomba.

 

We've also made it easier to destroy weak points with Active: Firecracker. We've increased the duration of the bomb and made it possible to enhance its stages with Standing Flip and Active: Beautiful Blaze, so that you can reliably force an explosion even in situations where you don't have time to use the Normal Attack x2 - Smash Combo or the Normal Attack x3 - Smash Combo.

 

Additionally, we have strengthened the damage compensation for close combat situations and corrected the issue where Swift Recoil would jump you far back and unintentionally increase the distance. Now you can fight while maintaining your desired distance.
 

 

Evie - Battle Scythe
  • The drain motion that follows use of the skills below is updated to be approximately 20% faster than before.
    • Life Drain 
    • Spirit Bind 
    • Mark of Death
    • Bloody Thread
  • After using the following skill, the motion when moving or standing to release will be updated to be approximately 20% faster than before.
    • Life Drain
    • Spirit Bind
    • Mark of Death
    • Bloody Thread
  • Fixed an issue where the Active: Arcane Gate skill would not be canceled if hit by an enemy while using it.
 
  • After using the following skills, you can now chain with the Blink skill more quickly.
    • Dimensional Loom
    • Soul Skewer
 
  • Lessen the behavior of getting caught in terrain when moving with the Blink skill.
  • The amount of stamina consumed when using Blink is updated as follows:
Blink Type
Current Stamina Consumption (based on 8 rank standard)
Updated Stamina Consumption (based on 8 rank standard)
Blink
15
10
Blink Consecutively
21
15
  • After using Blade Shift, when the Spirit Bind mark is created by performing two consecutive Smash attacks, press grab to enhance the Drain. 
 

 

Grimden
  • Time allowed to chain the next attack has been adjusted to be approximately 30% longer than before.
    • Kasana
    • Active: Cleave
  • The activation hit box for Kasana has been updated to make it easier to activate.
 
  • The dodge range applied to the recoil-based jumps in Aerial Evasion, Handspring, and Aerial Smash have been extended to until when Grimden lands.
    • Aerial Evasion and Handspring were previously structured so that the dodge zone would increase depending on the skill rank. This has been updated so that the dodge zone will be applied until the landing point, regardless of rank.
 
  • The cooldown applied when using Aerial Evasion, after defending against an enemy attack from the front, is adjusted from 10 seconds to 5.
  • Adjusted the time during which you can block an enemy attack with Occluded Soul and then chain to Aerial Evasion or Handspring.
    • Previously - Can be chained up to 30 frames after using Occluded Soul
    • Updated - Can be chained up to 45 frames after using Occluded Soul
 
  • To more intuitively show when the Mortal Arts Shadow Ambush damage multiplier is enhanced 1 time for a set duration during Dark Charge, the Mortal Arts Enhanced status effect is added.
    • When using Mortal Arts, while its Enhanced status effect is active, the status effect will end regardless of whether or not Shadow Ambush is used.
    • Added relevant information to the skill description of Dark Charge.
Developer's Notes:

The method of increasing the Shadow Ambush damage multiplier through Mortal Arts after using Grimden's Dark Charge skill was only applicable by successfully doing it within a limited action time of 1 second, and it was inconvenient because it did not show when the effect was active.

 

To improve this part, the Mortal Arts Enhanced status effect was added after Dark Charge to make it more intuitive, and the many action restrictions were changed so that the damage multiplier will increase even when performing other actions, as long as a successful Mortal Arts was performed through Shadow Ambush while the effect is active.

 

Additionally, the effect duration was buffed from 1 second to 3 seconds.

 

With this patch, we expect that it will be easier to successfully use Mortal Arts Shadow Ambush after the Dark Charge skill.

Producer's Letter: End of 2024 Upcoming Content
Mabinogi - Elebon

Dear Milletians,

Happy 20th Anniversary, Mabinogi! While only 16 years for us, Mabinogi itself has celebrated its 20 year anniversary just recently in June with the 2024 Fantasy Party. Community Manager Arciellia and I traveled to Korea to attend and celebrate this wondrous and momentous occasion! Today I want to talk about our trip with you, as well as share more details about some upcoming content we can expect to see soon.

At the Fantasy Party event, through rain, sweat, and tears– the feelings of excitement, love, and past memories bubbled to the surface. 16 Years of Mabinogi for me and you. There is such a level of nostalgia and happiness that comes from experiencing new content for the first time. A plethora of new adventures and memories to make together, and a moment of reflection on memories past. It is my greatest excitement to be preparing and working with the developers at this stage of Mabinogi. Mabinogi Eternity is a dream come true. The concept of a new Erinn, a fresh rebirth for our world, new moments to discover together. Hearing the crowd of rain-soaked Milletians cheering for each trailer touched my heart and brought such a glittering reverie to me about how far we’ve come and the future of Mabinogi.

With each new update, as dazzling as the upcoming Astrologer talent, and with every new Eternity blog, video, or screenshot, the dream becomes drawn more clearly. Adorable outfits, electrifying skill effects, smooth animations, rain, cute animals… these are only a few of the beautifully detailed elements that have been showcased lately, and I can’t wait to see even more come to fruition. My team and I are definitely still awaiting the happenings of Eternity – including, how will it go? Maintenances, updates, events? So much to prepare, I’m sure…!

While abroad, we also had the opportunity to visit the Nexon Korea office. Immediately I could feel a love for Mabinogi built by passions, challenges, and everything in between. The joy I felt walking sleek modern hallways, decorated with all the character cutouts for Mabinogi, figurines, wall prints, and the rows of office desks with Mabinogi peeking behind open documents on computer screens. As a long-time Milletian myself, it gave me surreal feelings that I will surely hold dear to my heart as a core memory!


In our meetings with the Development Team, we discussed various game updates and intentions behind the changes. Discussing changes that we’d like to see based off of your suggestions, our organic discussions in-game and out, and through all of the shared comments we’ve read throughout the year was my main intention. We are continuously focusing on what our community would like to see and how we could represent the best vision of Mabinogi. While we adjust our strategy to explore Eternity, it is a chance to learn about how we can evolve our longstanding game through a modern lens while still keeping the charm we adore.

With an abundance of game updates already released this year, there have been many contents to play, but there are still many to look forward to! Realistically, game updates come with challenges we must endure: from the many bugfixes for both new and existing contents, lengthy text polishing and UI reorganization, to web integrations, these items take time and energy. The Mabinogi Team has encountered more than just sunshine and rainbows but I believe in my team wholeheartedly and they have proved that whether rain or shine, passion and excitement outshines those difficulties.

For the second half of 2024, we first focused on providing a new and improved combat experience through adjustments to our existing combat content. These improvements include a significant rebalance of the Elemental Knight and Harmonic Saint Arcana talents, as well as a new Elite difficulty for Glenn Bearna. We also wanted to freshen up older content and make it accessible to a larger audience, which you'll have a chance to experience for yourself in both the revamped Fahmes Ruin dungeon and the upcoming release of the Royal Artisan system.

Lastly in winter, we want to provide a new talent, 'Astrologer' to you, Milletians, who are the shining stars of Mabinogi, who can become anything and express mastery of all talents. Of course, you cannot miss out on the various events you can expect as well!

We’ve prepared an exciting infographic to share all of the soon to be expected content updates. I hope you enjoy a glimpse of what’s to come.


Additionally, I’d like to share the video we’ve put together to celebrate Mabinogi’s 20th Anniversary in Korea. ✨


MabiNerd also produced a creative documentary piece to share the experience. We love this video and it was such a joy and honor to have him join us on a truly Mabi-filled adventure. 💗


I also want to give a shoutout to our Milletians who made it out to the Mabinogi Mag Mell Mixer event that we held in July this year. We’d love to organize more opportunities to meet in the future. Thank you for your support in person and in spirit! ☀️


Thank you for continuing to give Mabinogi a place in your heart. Collectively, we have millions of moments that play on in our minds and many more awaiting us.

Until next time,
~ GM Mewlynne, a Milletian who Wishes to see the Stars
Mabinogi Producer



Mewlynne gazes at the stars, visualizing new magics. Her speciality hones that of frost,
Before her eyes, she sees the electric pulse of energy awaiting her next move.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author
【 Developer Comments 】

To create a better play pattern and play experience, the development team decided to allow simultaneous use of Instill Element, granting Elemental Knights the benefits of all three Instillments (Flame, Frost, Thunder) at once. Additionally, the additional effects that each Instillment grants to the primary skills (Blazing Assault Slash, Shattering Windmill, Dynavolt Smash) have been modified to increase the link between skills as well as to provide utility and benefits to individual skills, such as increased attack range and pulling enemies inward.

As we are increasing the power of Instill Element, the upkeep cost (Mana, Stamina) will increase when multiple Instillments are activated. Our intention is that players will consider their situation and increased upkeep cost, selecting which and how many Instillments to use accordingly, rather than having all three elements up at all times. Each additionally applied Instillment will grant further increased damage, so we have adjusted the damage increase granted by each element.
Harmonic Saint Skill Changes
  • The Link Bonus effects have been improved at the following levels:
    • Link Level 6
      • Warmth of Life is now granted to the caster when allies are standing in Pulse of Purification’s area of effect.
    • Link Level 8
      • A new Veil of Life effect is applied when healing an ally or self with Hand of Restoration or Echoes of Salvation.
        • Veil of Life converts healing into a shield at the default healing amount when a player is at full health with no wounds.
        • The Veil of Life condition lasts for 60 seconds or when the shield has been exhausted, whichever comes first.
        • The Veil of Life will reduce incoming damage by 50%.
        • Those under the effect of Veil of Life will be immune to most knockback and stun.
    • Link Level 9
      • Pulse of Purification no longer recovers HP and Wounds for allies within range by 160 upon inflicting damage to enemies.
        • Now grants Warmth of Life at Link Level 6.
      • Grants Music Buff +3
      • Pulse of Purification Radius +3 meters
Echoes of Salvation
  • Now heals wounds for each skill rank:
    • Example: Based on various ranks of the Skill:
      • Rank F: +100 Wound Recovery
      • Rank 1: +250 Wound Recovery
  • MP and Stamina recovery are now instantaneous rather than increased recovery speed.
  • Additional MP and Stamina recovery based on the Rank of Enduring Melody’s recovery speed.
Voice of Vitality
  • Voice of Vitality’s Effect will now remain even when incapacitated.
Blessing of Protection
  • If the health of an ally or self is below 10% or in Deadly status, casting Blessing of Protection will now restore health up to 10%.
Pulse of Purification
  • The usage method for the skill has been changed so that you can click the area that you wish to cast the skill.
  • Numerous changes have been made for each rank.
    • Example: Based on Rank 1.
      • Deals 3,000 Magic Damage/second to enemies within the skill’s radius.
      • Restores 200 HP, MP, and Stamina per second.
      • Grants Stun and Knockdown Immunity to allies within the skill’s radius.
      • Deals an additional 10,800 Magic Damage after the skill ends to any enemies remaining in the skill’s radius.
    • Casting Time has been reduced from 2 seconds to 1 second.
    • Cooldown has been drastically reduced from 360 seconds to 60 seconds.
    • Now only consumes Mana upon use.
    • The skill can now be canceled by using the skill again while activated.
    • The skill’s Piercing Effect has been removed.
  • Visibility of the Skill’s Effect has been enhanced.
Polyphonic Melody
  • A new skill acquired upon reaching Level 3 of Harmonic Saint.
  • Provides a chance for the next use of Enduring Melody, March Song, or Harvest Song to stack with other Musical Buffs.
    • Example: Based on various ranks of the Skill:
      • Rank F: 30% Strength of Buff
      • Rank 9: 60% Strength of Buff
      • Rank 5: 80% Strength of Buff
      • Rank 1: 100% Strength of Buff
    • Only 2 Musical Buffs can be active at the same time.
    • You are unable to stack the same Musical Buff.
【 Developer Comments 】

Harmonic Saint has been modified to maintain its role as party support. Some of the less meaningful Arcana Link effects have been adjusted, and a brand new effect Veil of Life has been added into Link Level 8. Hand of Restoration and Echoes of Salvation are powerful heals, but are limited to only healing missing health, so it can be difficult to respond immediately to every situation. With Link Level 8, Veil of Life will activate when healing those with full health, and provide an additional shield proportional to the strength of the heal cast. This effect will allow Harmonic Saints to apply preemptive support.

When considering that higher difficulty dungeons require more active play, the development team decided to allow continuous party support even while using Pulse of Purification. We felt this would allow for a more positive and synergistic experience. Additionally, by reducing the immediate damage output of the skill and supplementing it with a highly reduced cooldown and a party member support effect, Harmonic Saints will be able to leverage Pulse of Purification more often in combat. We hope you enjoy it!

Lastly, a new skill, Polyphonic Melody, has been added to increase the Harmonic Saint's contribution to the party. However, we have found that with Share Music Buffs settings, the best possible buff combination would be different for various talents, and some talents may not be able to fully benefit from such situations or require different combinations from others, causing those talents to be less favored in parties. Thus, we decided to limit the songs that can be activated with the Polyphonic Melody to Enduring Melody, March Song, and Harvest Song to allow each member of the party to benefit from the buff effects while keeping the Harmonic Saint's party contribution ability intact.
Non-Arcana Skill Changes
Normal Attack/Smash
  • Enemies who have Counterattack loaded and are not the intended target will not trigger its use nor be affected by the attack splash.
Bash
  • Stacks now decrease by 1 instead of all stacks when the retention timer ends.
  • Fixed an issue where the skill could not be used on enemies in Finish State.
Rage Impact
  • Now accounts for sizes of enemies when measuring distance.
  • Enemies hit by Rage Impact now have the debuff applied to them for the entire duration.
  • Debuff duration decreased from 10 seconds to 7 seconds.

【 Developer Comments 】

Rage Impact previously would increase the strength of the next melee attack’s damage after it was applied onto a target. However, when factoring in party play, it was very likely that this effect would be consumed unintentionally, making it difficult to fully utilize this damage increase. 

To resolve this, we modified the effect from the skill. Targets affected by Rage Impact will now take increased damage from all melee attacks during its duration. In order to keep this balanced, we have adjusted the duration and damage increase. 

We have also adjusted the Rage Impact enhancement effects to match this change. Like Rage Impact, the damage multiplier for the enhancements have decreased, but will now apply for all melee damage applied during the duration. We expect this to increase synergistic use in combat.
