● The height of Wooden Fence and Medium Siege Tower has been increased and is now about 30% higher.
● If you are behind Wooden Fences, you should not take damage from the following skills, though terrain elevation and character placement may still allow you to be damaged:
- Blizzard, Meteor Shower, Thunderstorm, Bolide of Destruction.
- You may still be damaged by Flame Towers.
● Freezing will now take into consideration the count system of CC skills. As with Stun, Knockback, and Knockdown, Freezing will have a count of 1.
- Stiffness: 0.7/1 (Count limit)
- Stun, Knockback, Knockdown, Floating, Bound, Grapple, Freezing: 1 (Count limit).
- Immune for 5 sec. if CC skill is applied twice.
● Damage increase rate of Air Attack has been decreased. Though it was difficult for Air Attack to be activated before, this has been made easier due to the changes in the CC skill effect applications. As a result, Air Attack damage increase rate has been adjusted but the changes are not great due to the fact that there still are requirements for Air Attack to be activated.
Special Attack Damage | Before Change | After Change |
Air Attack | 250% | 200% |
Down Attack | 150% | 150% *Same |
Back Attack | 150% | 150% *Same |
- During PvP, an additional 30% will be decreased from the damage rate stated above. This is same as before.
● Damage inflicted from the following Grapple skills has been increased.
- Most Grapple skills were originally designed to provide competitiveness in PvP (typically 1 vs. 1 combats), but as CC skill effect application has been adjusted, this advantage has been diminished. Thus damage has been increased greatly and it is possible for Grapple skills to be used in combos as effective skills themselves.
